HOME CANNING.

Clemson College, S. c., May IA
Every farmer should have small
canning outfit for use in preserving
fruit and vegetables for winter. An
abundance of canned products of
this sort adds comfort and health
to the family, and often there is
enough surplus to give a nice little
income. 1t is seldom that canned
fruits and vegetables of fine quality
fail to commend good price. With
a good fall garden one does not so
much feel the need OF canned vege-
tables, but there are . great many
of the tender sorts that will not
grow at this season and must be
preserved in cans. Think also of the
number of fruits that may be can
ned. Even where one has neglected
to have a good orchard there are in
most localities an abundance of
blackberries, blue berries, huckleber-
ries, grapes and cherries growing
wild. In case enough vegetables
have not yet been planted to furnish
a surplus to can, it is a good time
now to take up the deficiency. To-
matoes, snap beans, lima beans,
sweet potatoes, and other vegetables
may yet be planted for canning dur
ing the late summer. Anyone in
terested in canning should write the
Horticultural Division of Clemson
College for circular No. 27, "Home
Canning of Fruits and Vegetables. ."

BE A FARMER PATRIOT

Clemson College, S. c., May ID
With the packing house assured for
the state this fall all farmers should
recruit at once in the army of meat
producers which will put South Caro-
lima on shelf supporting basis, as
well as help feed the millions of peo-
pie who are now dependent on the
United States for food supplies. This
is the time for the farmer to exert
himself more than ever to grow plenty
Of food stuffs on the farm. The pos
slbllities of a good wheat and oat
crop are very poor, and this makes
1t all the more necessary to prepare
to grow more feed stuffs and to grow
more meat than ever before. Be a
farmer patriot.

GIVE THE WORK STOCK
PLENTY OF WATER

Clemson College, S. c., May 14.-
Three times a day is not enough to
water livestock. They should have,
especially in hot weather, an oppor-
tunity of drinking at least five times
daily-before each meal, and at in
tervals of 1-2 to 3 hours apart be-
tween meals.
lhe animal that works in hot
weather on a or hour stretch
without water suffers intensely from
thirst. Frequent watering prevents
water cholic and other i'll effects.
Never allow the animal to drink
when very hot. Always force him
under such conditions to drink a lit
tie at time until satisfied

CROPS SHOULD BE
WELL CULTIVATED TO
CONSERVE MOISTURE

Clemson College, S. c., May ID
Owing to the long dry spell and the
comparatively small amount of fer
tilizer used on crops this year, care
should be taken to see that the crop
gets the maximum amount of the
fertilizer and as much of the mois-
turc as possible. Grass, uses up a
great amount Of moisture and the
farmer can't afford to allow the
grass to take up the plant food
which he puts in the ground for the
crop. Frequent cultivation of the
land will keep down thc grass and
weeds and will allow the corn and

being killed. The lack of exercise
and the special food that the chicks
receive when in the crates, greatly,
improves the flavor and quality OF
the flesh. They should gain in
weight from so to rs per cent, and
this gain in weight is accomplished
at much less cost than when the
chicks are running at liberty and

Complete directions for rearing
and feeding chicks, and also for
confning and fattening them in
crates, can be obtained from the

GROW MORE CHICK EMS
Home Grown Poultry is Cheap Meat
Food.

Clemson College, S. c., May ID
Experiments have shown that young
chickens can be grown more cheaply
to the frying age than the same
amount Of meat can be purchased.
This is under normal conditions and
prices, but with the abnormal con-
ditions that we have at the present
time, there is no question but that
it will pay everyone to greatly in
crease the production of chickens
this year.
Many people have the erroneous
impression that it is impossible to
hatch and rear chickens successfully
in the summer months. They say
that their chickens stand around and
ego to Sleep" that the majority of
them die and that the summer rails
ing of poultry is unprofitable. The
main reason why the chickens ego
to sleep" is that they are not receiv-
| ing a sufficient amount of animal
food or protein. Whenever chickens
! look sleepy or droop their wings, feed
them more cottonsccd meal, velvet
bean meal, pea meal, soy bean meal
peanut meal, or meat scraps. One OF
the best foods for sleepy chickens, is
to give every day one meal of cut ur
meat after it has been cooked. Yor

which is known as beef scraps o,

Watch Your Churning Temperature

Clemson College, S. c., May Ia
When the cows are on pasture, the
butter fat becomes softer. This
makes it churn quicker. Butter should
not come in less than a half hour.
AS the days get warmer and the cows
get more grass it will be better to
lower the churning temperature.
When the butter comes too quick
there is great loss Of butter fat in
