How to Make EN- Lay

Many people who never entertained chickens before
going devote much of the next winters social
to their reception and lot of folks who have been keeping
chickens going to handle them they will produce
eggs and produce them in the wntertime when
egg is egg
There few things you must do if you would
have winter eggs.
Some of them you mustdonow.
FIRST the early Matched chicks the early layers.
SECOND, keep your chicks growing from birth to
autumn.
THIRD, remember that to make eggs the hen machine
needs these materials-grit, green's grain meat,
oyster shell, fresh water, freedom from vermin.
FOURTH, butcher your ROSTERS allow rooster with
your laying hens
If you want eggs in the winter young hens;
fine them small range; keep grtsand and gravel
before Them ditto oyster she'll ditto fresh Give
them grain, not too much. morning and night let them
scratch for it in the litter of the hen house.
Give Them in a self feeder much Of laying mash.
fed dry, you give grain This mash is most essential
and must contain fish, beef scrap, tanage, well
meal, wheat middngs and bran. Usually it is
cheaper to buy than to mix it, but get it you must If
you want winter eggs.
For greens give them cabbage, kitchen refuse hot
from salads; sprout oats in patent contrapons
anything convenient.
Clean the houses a week. anyway, and spray
with some insectcde afterwards
A little trouble? Not so much as it might appear and
1t is the system to have eggs lots of them when
eggs are rare

Dr. Frank Crane, United States:
Dear Mr.. Crane: ] am III years old tthis is

paper. She can't take any paper now be-
cause everything costs so much, but have
q friend who delivers papers, and he always
loans me one so that / may read your
piece.
Lots Of times while | am reading what
you say feel like I'll Just burst open with
waiting TO talk TO you so badly, and aske'
mother to let me write to you but she
only laughed and said great man like you
would not fool your time reading a poor
little boys letter.
In today's paper you have said something
that makes me feel like / must write. IL
is not like the other times when / wish to
write because you made me understand
things that had been puzzles, and you make
me feel good just because of what you said.
No, sir this time you have hurt me be-
cause OF the manner you advocate the edu-
cation Of children. Everything you have
always said sounded so great and good, but
this piece is wrong on right cause, because
YOU talk az II all the parents who don't send
their children to school Is from their choice.
We are poor and we live among poor people.
and many Of them are good and would like
to educate their children, but they can't be-
cause the children must work. But ! did
not set out to write about other folks, but
about mine.
My mother is widow She has four
children. One of us is dead Before Grand
mama got so old and i'll with rheumatism
she used to cook and make our clothes and
her own and mothers, too. And mother
gave music lessons and used to write for
people. She used TO write for blind gen.
tleman and help him make poetry. He is
dead now. Well. was going to say, when
mother worked we had enough, but when
Grandmama got so old she could not work
mother had TO stay home and wait on all
of us. And so, little by little we got more
poor than the day before. Mothers health

HAYWOOD SIMPSON
DIES AT JASPER

Haywood Simpson died at Jas
per Thursday night of pneu-
monia. He, very strangely, pre-
dicted his death. and although
believed to be recovering it came
to pass when he died suddenly.
His illness was of short duration
and it is said that the Friday
night before he died had intend
ed to come to Sequachee to the
dance at the hall. but the party
was prevented from coming on
account Of TIE disagreeable
weather.
He was a son of r. 7. Simpson
and was about % years old. He
had only recently returned from
camp where he had been in the
service OF the United States. He
was most exemplary young
man and his untimely death is
greatly deplored.
The remains were held until
Sunday afternoon, awaiting the
arrival of relatives, and inter-
ment made Sunday afternoon at
Rosewood cemetery, a large num-
ber attending the services.
The family have the sympathy
of a large number Of friends
who sympathize with them in
their bereavement.
