| for Matching should be kept at tenn
f. as possible and should be turned
over every day. They should be Jared
as little as possible while handling
and should be incubated while still
fresh never holding more than two
weeks If 1t can be helped. 1t Is an ex-
cellent plan to mark the date on each
egg as it is gathered, in order to be
certain that no eggs are kept too long
before they are incubated.
Turkey hens are very close sitters,
and If managed properly they are the
surest means Of Matching turkey eggs
that can be used. IncubatOrs, however,
are quite as successful with turkey
eggs as with chicken eggs. The incu-
baton period Of turkey eggs is % days.
The first egg is usually pipped during
the first part of the 9th day, the first
poult Matched by the middle. of that
day, and the hatch completed at the
end of % days. although In extreme
cases all the poults are not Matched
before the end of 30 days.
The average number Of poults raised
under ordinary conditions is about 80
per cent Of those Matched, or about
seven for each turkey hen. BY far
the greater part of this loss occurs
when the poults are under week old.
Unless there Is an outbreak Of disease,
few are lost after they are month
old. The high mortality among young
poults is mainly due, to exposure to-
dampness and cold, improper feeding,
close confinement, lice, predatory ami
mails, and inherent weakness, the lat
ter the result of carelessness in the
selection of parent stock.
Coop for Each Brood.
A good plan Is to have a substantial
coop for each brood Of turkeys. The
mother turkey should be confined in
this coop soon after her young are
Matched and should be kept there for
several weeks while the poults are
allowed to run about. The coop should
be placed in a well-drained place and
should be moved each day. When two
turkey hens with broods of about the
same age are turned out on free range
together they will remain in one flock,
and as this makes 1t easier to'>hunt
them up and care for them it is advis-
able to turn out two or three hens with
their broods together when they, are
given free range. 1t is not a good plan
to have more than this number Of
young poults in one flock, however, as
they may all try to crowd under one or
two hens to be lowered.
Improper feeding combined with
close confinement, has been the cause
Of many failures in turkey raising.
When on free range the poults- are
busy searching for feed most of the
day. Here there Is no overlooking and
lack Of exercise, such as the poults ara
often subjected to by those ignorant of
their wants. If the range Is plentifully
supplied with green feed, grasshoppers
and other insects, and If the weather
Is favorable, then the best plan is to
allow the pOults to feed themselves.
1t Is usually advisable, however, to
have them come home at night, and Il
driven up and fed at certain place
every night they will soon learn to
come up themselves. ...-

WHAT COTTON WILL
BUY.

Cotton at 20 cents, the New
York Journal of Commerce says
has less purchasing power than
cotton at IL cents before this
present war began; because
evrything has risen more in price
than cotton. When we come to
buy print cloths. our 20 cent cot
ton will buy no more than 3
cents worth would have bought
in 1918. Cotton at 20 cents is
worth only 8 cents in the pur-
chase of corn, Is 16 cents IN the
purchase of wheat, TIA cents
in the purchase of lard, and
35-16 cents in the purchase OF
wool. Cotton has gained. 90 per
cent in price while prints have
gained 125 per cent corn 145 per
cent shoes $50 per cent, wheat
It's per cent lard 18O per cent |;
and wool 500 per cent.

forgetting two things, first that

second that he has to pay more

necessaries of life.

THE UNRULY MEMBERS.

"Speech is silver, silence is
golden" The old proverb is espec
tally suited to these troublous
times. free Speech is a right
that has become Incorporated in
our blood We forget there is
such a thing as becoming too
free. We do not weigh our
words with sufficient care before
giving them utterances. We
are prone to shout aloud every
chance thought that may enter
our minds. Discretion of speech
is of more Importance than elo-
quence. There are times when
all the truth should not be told
when silence is wisdom. There
are also times when opinions
should be loudly and clearl y
proclaimed that all may know
how you stand In voicing 10y
atty there should be no hesita
ton. When right is to be de-
Tended when noble act is to be
justified when kindness may
be done then speak. If any un-
kind word or thoughtless adverse
criticism comes to the lips re-
press it. Silence is then golden.

THRIFT AND GARDEN
TRUCK.

Health specialists, like DIR.
Evans, and beauty specialists, all
tell us constantly to eat garden
truck. In this | am sure they
are correct, for this was Gods
original plan with man. You
may recall that the Story of man
began in garden. This was
not only Gods original plan but
it is his present plan. This earth
is to become a "Garden of Eden" :"
again. This Divine plan, this
scientific plan is also the most
economical plan. To come to
the point, the GARDEN is init
mately connected with THRIFT.
If this state ever comes to thrift
as whole it must be thru the
garden, the orchard, the field,
the meadow that is by way of
the land. Land must not only
feed us, but help us to feed 9TH
ers and leave profit for our
selves. A garden is an example
of intensified farming, and a
kind of family farming in which
every member of the family may
take an interest and from which
every one will receive a benefit
Children should be taught early
to work the garden and to eat
the things which come from it..
We of the South let our children
eat biscuit, butter and molasses,
and we feed ourselves on fat
meat, corn bread and gravy, and
thus we fall short of thrift and
efficiency and hit malaria, pela-
gra, and many other food pro-
duced diseases. Give us onions
lettuce, mustard, cabbage, turn
ips, beans, peas, tomatoes, corn,
okra, squash, egg plant, berries,
melons, peaches, plums, figs, ap
pies, oranges, and many other
things which grow in Mississ-
ippi garden, and what use have
we for much hog meat aud white
flour? Profitable? Yes, |

COMMON SENSE ECON.
OMY.
From Markets.


Declaration of war between
the United States and Germany
naturally calls for conserva.
tion of our countrys resources
and for economy and a measure
of selfsacrifice on the part of
all American citizens. Such
economy and self sacrifice
are patriotic duties, and much
has been said on the subject
in the daily press and in the
numerous weekly and monthly
magazines published throughout
the United States.
1t is characte ristic of the
American once he is committed
to course to 60 at it whole
heartedly and enthusiastically
sometimes our enthusiasm is so
intense that it almost borders
on hysteria. Secretary Houston's
phrase about making economy
fashionable and the summon.
ing of Herbert O. Hoover from
relief work in Belgium to super
wise the distribution of our food
supply have caused a number of
people to believe that they should
reduce their mode Of living to
the bedrock basis of barest nec-
cessities.
Such an attitude is altogether
cut out of place in any country,
and particularly so in America.
This war even though it contin
ues for three or four years, is at
most but an incident in our his
tory. In any case but a small
percentage of our population
will be sent to the firing line
the balance of us will remain
at home, and the business of the
country must 60 on with as lit
tie interruption as possible. We
have our lives to live and our
business to take care of after the
war is over, and we cannot af-
ford to tear down our CONNER.
cial structure. If we do SO we
will become involved in a dis
aster from which we will be
much longer recovering than
from the effects of q foreign war.
No man lives and no man dies
to himself !; every line of busi-
ness in this country to a greater
or less extent depends on every
other line of business. The com
mercial fabric is so interviewer
that a severe injury to any one
line hurts every other line. A
stone thrown into a pond starts
ripples that reach the furtherest
shore. BY all means let us prac
tice economy, but let it be a
good sense economy of the hys-
terical sort which makes US deny
ourselves every luxury and all
but the barest necessities. Such
an economy can only work in
jury to the country. Business
cannot continue if all buying
stops or is reduced toa minimum
Continued prosperity depends
ON continued circulation Of mon
ey continued buying and selling
of commodities, continued en-
ployment of labor to keep the
wheels of commerce turning.
Let Us eliminate waste, let US
curtail measurably many of the
foolish expenditures for which
as people we have been noted,
but let us not in our zeal TO run
90 far to the other extreme that
We drive business on the rocks
and wreck our property beyond
all repair.

PACIFIC SUGAR
MILL HOLDS Up
ITS DIVIDENDS

Discontinuance of the payment of
regular monthly dividends to share
holders after October Is was an
nounced this morning by the Pacific
Sugar Mill Co. This action was taken
at a meeting OF the board of directors
on Monday following reports of con-
tinued drought on the plantation OF
the company at Kukuihaele, Hawaii
No reports have been received as
to just how serious has been the dam
age done by the drought, but it was
freely admitted at the meeting that
the 1918 crop would not even total
one-half of the 1917 crop of about
1900 tons.
The total acreage under cultivation
for the 1918 crop is 2114 acres, which
is somewhat less than the amount of
acreage used last year. Of this acre
age under cultivation for 1918, plant
cane covers $40 acres, first ration cane
ia acres, second ration cane 1922
acres, third ration cane lis acres
and fourth ration cane Sc acres.
BY the decision of the directors
$500 in monthly dividends is sus-
pended and at the meeting did not
even suggest when the payia. of divi-
dends might be again resumed.

5000 leaflets throughout the islands.
One side OF the leaClet will have a
caption Lend Your Dollars for Lib

ton on the bond issue. The other
side will be a pledge form.
From the way all committee mem
bers are working today to start the
campaign in the right groove, it is
apparent that the drive for the sec.

time to the work, even to the extent
OF neglecting their own private inter-
