TWO HENS FOR
EVERY person
POULTRY EXPERT TELLS HOW
LIVING COSTS MAY BE RE-
DUCED = SPENDS DAY WITH
COUNTY AGENT WHITAKER.

Now that eggs are high, it is a
good time to talk more and better
poultry, according to a statement
made by H. B. Landsen, poultry spe-
cialist, who spent Tuesday of this
week with County Agent Whitaker
Dut to the constant rain and the i'm
passable condition of the roads they
were able to do very little work.
Knowing how to get eggs in win
ter when the price is always high is
the secret of successful poultry
keeping, according to Mr.. Landsen
whether on a large or small scale
Two hens properly fed and cared
for will supply eggs for one person
the entire year. This being the case
every dweller, whether in city, town
or on the farm, should arrange to
have at least this number for each
member of the family.
If all the farmers in Lee county
would practice the methods of poul.
try keeping as advocated by Mr.
Landsen, they would not only reduce
the cost of their own table, but
would add materially to their cash
income in the sale of surplus poultry
and eggs.
Mr.. Landsen is practical poul-
tryman of over 25 years experience
and his advice is simple and easily
followed Among his suggestions
for getting eggs in winter are better
houses, a balanced ration and the
elimination of the non-laying hen
His plans for a cheap, up-to-date
poultry house can be had from Mr.
Whitaker. If feeding for eggs the
elements necessary to produce the
egg must be used in the ration or no
results can be obtained. A simple
egg ration can be made up as fol
lows:
Two parts wheat bran, one part
wheat shorts or corn chops, one part
ground oats, one part beef scraps OF
tankage. This should be fed as a
moist, GRUMPY mash each morning OIL
fed dry in self-feeding hopper kept
before the chickens at all times
When neither beef scraps nor tank.
age are available, skinned milk
buttermilk or clabber is still better
Hens require exercise to give the
best results, and this exercise can be
best given by putting some sort OF
grain in straw in a shed where they
will have to scratch for it. This ex-
ercise is essential to keep up the tenn
perature and circulation and develop
the egg producing organs.
Mr.. Whitaker expects to have Mr.
Landsen return to Mariana the last
of January to visit parties interested
in better methods of poultry rails
ing If you are interested communl'
cate with Mr.. Whitaker, so that he
can arrange for Mr.. Landsen to see
you. Culling the flock to get out the
non-layers will be one of the princi-
pal lines pushed when Mr.. Lansder
returns.

WGridnnG Stores
In Holiday Dress

Never before in the history of mer.
chandlslng in Mariana have the
stores displayed a greater variety of
Christmas goods than is being shown
this holiday period. From the large
department stores to the corner gro

is attractively reflected in the hand

tastily arranged stocks in the shelves
and on the counters. Heretofore
scores OF Mariana people went to
Memphis to do their Christmas shop.
ping, but in recent years the tide
has been turned homeward, and this
season, more than at any time in the
past, local mercantile institutions
nave put forward extra efforts to
gather stocks especially appropriate
for the holiday period.
Quick to appreciate this advanced
move upon the part of the merchants
the people are this year doing their
buying in Mariana. They are keep
ing their money at home because they
can get what they want here and be-
cause they much prefer to do their
shopping in Mariana than in Mem
phis.
Another result of this very excel.
lent spirit of mutual helpfulness
upon the part of the merchants and
the buying public is in the increasing
demand for advertising space. For
several weeks the Courier-Index has
been carrying 16 pages to accommo-
date local advertisers. This week
the edition consists of "a pages. This
edition has been issued in the regu-
lar run of the business of the
Courier-Index office. 1t is no "Spe-
cial" or Holiday" edition. The vol.
ume of advertising carried merely
reflects the natural increase at this
season of the year. The management
anticipating this heavy demand, made
preparations month ago by laying
in large stocks of seasonable illustra-
tions, many of which are featured in
the neat and attractive ads. appear
ing in this edition. The people OF
Mariana and Lee county have
formed the habit of reading the busi-
ness announcements in the Courier
Index, and they are profiting by the
inducements offered by local mer-
chants. We especially commend to
our readers the advertisements con-
tanned in this issue. They are well
worth careful perusal.
