i ing paper. Where there is a board fence 1 1t is sometimes possible to utilize it by building the poultry house in the corner of the fence.
 Nests should be simple and may be
 made out of boxes about F inches square and to inches deep. An ordinary orange box with a partition in the middle is suitable for this purpose, catch box providing. two nests, the top being re- moved, the box laid on it's side and strip or inches wide nailed across the lower front. Ordinarily 5-foot fence of poultry wire is adequate, unless cats are bothersome, when occasionally it is necessary to cover the top of the yard
 also with wire. If hens shows a ten dency to fly over the fence which has
 no top, the flight feathers of one wing should be clipped.
 ! The city flock should be fed as cheap ! ly as possible and consistent with the steady flow of eggs. All table scraps,
 kitchen waste, leftover vegetables, beet ] tops, carrot tops, potato peelngs, onion ! tops, watermelon and cantaloupe rinds. | cabbage leaves lettuce leaces, bread and | cake crumbs, and meat scraps are keen | ly relished by the hens and should be l devoted to egg and meat production Us- ually it is necessary to provide some SUD-
 elementary grain for the use of the back 1 yard flock during the winter, although
 some owners do we'll without purchasing l any grain at all This, of course, de- 1 bends largely on the amount and va riety of table wassS available.
 1 Often it is inadvisable to attempt to
 renew the city poultry flock by hatch
 ing and rearing chicks or by buying and
 rearing day-old chicks. Previous experi-
 ence in the raising of chickens usually | increases the chances of success. The | land available is usually small in area and no attempt should be made to raise 1 chicks unless plot of ground can be provided separate from that to which 1 the hens have access and upon which there is grass where supply of green | feed can be furnished. Under average
 conditions, where the yardage is limited,
 it is preferable to cull the hens as soon as they have outlived their usefulness and to replace them by well-matured bullets in the fall

Fly MRS. JOHN C. MOSES, Mississippi City, Miss.

Every consumer who has sufficient backyard space may reduce the high cost of living to a certain extent by a small flock of poultry. The product of such a flock, both in the form of eggs and fowl for the table, may be obtained at low cost because of the use of table scraps and kitchen waste.
 Ordinarily one of the general-purpose breeds, such as the Plymouth Rock, Wyadotte, Rhode Island Red or Orping- ton, is preferable to the smaller egg breeds, as the former fowl, on account of their larger size, make better table poultry, while the young chickens, for the same reason, are better adapted as flyers and roasters. However, if the consumer desires eggs only, one the lighter breeds, such as the White Legh- horn, will be the best for him to main- tain. No matter what breeds selected, it is advisable to keep poultry only of some pure breed or variety
 The size of the flock depends upon the space available and the quality of table scraps suitable for feed. Do not over stock and do not overcrowd the yard. Fowls do best where they have plenty of room and sufficient food For a flock of 20 or 9 hens, a yard space of not less than 2 by % feet should be pro- vided, as 20 to % square feet of yard space should be provided for each bird.
 It is advisable for city poultry keepers tc procure wel-matured bullets in the fall, so that they will begin to lay be- fore cold weather sets in. An inexpensive, 'commodious, and comfortable house should be provided, with to square feet of floor space to the bird al though some poutrymen report good re- suits where the allowance is only 215 to 3 square feet. Often an unused shed or small building in the back yard can be easily converted into a chicken house Satisfactory shelters can be made from piano boxes or packing cases by pur- chasing q small quanNtyq of by or 2 by 3 lumber for framing. The box boards can be used for siding or sheath ing, and then can be covered with roof

Pike County Hog Sales

Pike county hog growers fell into line recently and organized a sales associa- tion through which they expect to mar ket their product the coming fall. Co., operative marketing organizations gen. erally exist throughout the hog growing counties in the state now as farmers have found that this method of disposing of their product is by all odds the most satisfactory. Seventytive farmers re- sponded to the call of Farm Demon stration Agent J. E. Moces at Troy, who in cooperation with w. D. Barton. dis trict demonstration agent, and M. H. Pearson, marketing specialist from Au- burn, expla ined the plan of similar or ganizations elsewhere.
 Twenty-Five farmers signed a joint note borrowing $500 with which to erect im- mediately the necessary pens and scales for weighing. This sum was loaned through the First National bank without interest. A tax of 5c per head on hogs weighed and a membership fee of s1 paid out of the first shipment of hogs, will take care of the note in short time. By mid-winter they expect to have $50 mem- bers in the. organization. A board of directors was elected who will select the sales manager, weigher and grader. A committee on membership was appointed and it is expected that a car of hogs will be ready for the initial shipment by October l.
 Two years ago an attempt was made to organize an association of this charac- ter, but at that time local buyers com bned to pay farmers temporarily a pre- mium of 2 to 3 cents over what could be gotten on the St. Louis market, and this frustrated the plans for cooperative sales. As a result, it is claimed that hogs were lately purchased in and around Troy that year at to cents pound under what other communities were get ting. The Alabama extension service is organizing similar associations through it's marketing division wherever possible.

Fall Seeded Lawns Best

Throughout the South Atlantic states fall-sown lawns are always preferable. because, as rule, spring seeding merely prepares fine seedbed, which is domi- mated by crabgrass, irrespective of what grass seed mixture is planted. The fall seeded lawn should be sown during Sep tember, in order that the turf may att tain adequate growth so as to weather the winter well. Old turfs which are be- set with weeds may be renovated in the fall by raking out al lthe crabgrass and forming a light mulsh about one-half inch deep, so that more seed may be sown as desired. Although, this practice is not recommended, it may be instituted where conditions operate against new seeding. Thousands of dollars worth of costly grass seed are wasted each year in the middle and South Atlantic states in spring seeding.

''In our city we need good sewerage, pure water, cleanli- ness. have seen these things in your American cities and I should like to see Rheims as sanitary as Hartford Conn.,. or Rochester, N. Y."
