DIRECT SELLING WILL
HELP COTTON FARMER
Mills Pay More for Cotton Than Far
mers Receive.

How much difference should there
be between the price that farmer
gets for his cotton and the price that
the mill pays for the same cotton?
The North Carolina cotton mills
paid about $15,000,O0O more for the
cotton they used last year than the
farmers received for it.
Getting down to unit basis, the
farmer who grew bale of cotton
lacked $11.5O Of getting what it was
worth to the cotton mill.
A little fthe $11.50 went to the
railroad for hauling the cotton to the
mills. AS most Of the cotton consumed
by the North Carolina mills is grown
in North Carolina and nearby sections
Of South Carolina and Georgia, the
freight item did not amount to q great
deal probably. 80 cents a. hundred or
80 points on the cotton involved. The
average cost Of exchange on the draft
bill was probably .one-eighth Of / per
cent. Including other necessary costs
Of selling and delivery with these
items, the total expense would be
about $3.50 to So bale in practically
all cases.
Profit DispropOrtionate.
The natural conclusion is that the
farmer is getting less for his cotton

POINTS ON HOUSING POULTRY.
The back and sides of the poultry
house should be absolutely tight in
order to prevent drafts which may
cause colds in the flock.
The front of the house should be SO
high that the windows or openings
will allow the sun to shine well back
into the interior during the winter.
Burlap, unbleached muslin, or light
weight duck cloth may be used for
curtains in the front. This cloth
should be thin enough to allow slow
circulation of air without a draft.
This is impossible if too heavy grade
OF duck cloth is used or If the cloth is
oiled or painted.
II the curtain is not attended to,
however, curtain-front houses may be
less satisfactory than the open-front
type even in northern ATTITUDES.
A large amount of glass in the front
the day but cold at night. as glass
radiates heat very rapidly. Some
glass, however, is helpful in provid-
ing light when the curtains are closed.
Some ventilation should be given in a
poultry house even on the coolest
night. 1t is usually best secured by
leaving small window open or hav-
ing muslin curtains in the front of the
house. II the house is shut up tightly
without any muslin curtains in the
front, there is tendency for moisture
to collect in the house and condense
on the rafters and other woodwork on
frosty mornings. 1t is not necessary
to close the muslin curtains in the
front OF the house except in very cold
or stormy weather. Hens are pro-
tected by nature with warm feathers
and, high body temperature, SO that
they are better able to withstand dry,
cold air than warmer air which is
damp.

FOWL ARIsTocRATs.

The cockeral shown in the illustra-
ton is Single Comb White Leghorn
on the Government Poultry Farm at
Beltsville, Md. He is of a type that
takes the eye of the most critical
fancier, but his mother was a utility
bird that laid 230 eggs in her pullet
year. Eight of her sisters and half
sisters made records as high egg pro-
ducers. They produced in their pullet
year as follows: $50, 1877, 1875, 1876, 1913,
208, 235, and 240 eggs. The sire of
this cockerel is son of hen that
laid 213 eggs in her pullet year, and
536 eggs in three years. His grand
sire, on the sire's side, is son of the
hen shown in the illustration, which
laid PA eggs in her pullet year and
654 eggs in four years.

production. More and more each year.
poultry fanciers appreciate that the
birds which are to be consistent win
ners must possess not only shapely

Few Exceptional Fowl.
The number Of record-breaking fowl
in any flock as rule is small, both
from an exhibition standpoint as well
as from that of production. 1t is al
ways more difficult to breed for high
development Of a combination of char
acters than it is to obtain intersifica-
ton Of a single character. Any ex-
perienced breeder appreciates that If
he concentrates for the production Of
meat combs, and disregards other
points, he will progress in the produc-
ton of fine heads. But in SO doing
he will have neglected the other quail
ties which go to make up exhibition
accomplish as much as if he improved
the heads simultaneously with other
poultry characters.
1t is difficult task to breed for a
combination of standard quality and
utility Values, UuL ILLS Cdu dIlu 10
being done at profit. In fact, the
time has arrived when every ambi-
tious breeder should give careful
thought to the opportunity for success
along these lines. The breeder who
is successful in producing a strain of
birds capable of good production has
promising market among the So
called breeders of utility fowls. If he
is successful in combining standard
quality with this production, so that
he can produce birds capable of win
ming in the poultry exhibitions of the
country, he has a profitable outlet in
sale of breeding stock in those who
are interested in exhibitions Of that
ind. The man who breeds only for
standard quality, or person who pro-
duces fowl only for utility value has
a restricted market outlet for his
stock which will prove much less
profitable.
The fact should not be overlooked
that the man who breeds for standard
requirements and therefore for beauty
in his fowl has something which the
casual observer can. see and appre-
ciate, and develops in his birds quail
ity of advertising value in the sale
of breeding stock. On the other hand

Beauty and utility in happy COM
bination as depicted by the most
praf1table farm fowls, are attributes
which merit wider imitation among
poultry keepers. Symmetry of form,
uniformity of characteristics and true
ness of type, rather than superficial
skin-deep beauty, are desired in pro-
ducing profitable poultry, together
with the ability to maintain liberal
and persistent production Of eggs.
Hen husbandry has suffered because
Of factional fracases between special
lied fanciers and the utility producers
who aspire chiefly for eggs. according
to a specialist of the U. s. Department
Of Agriculture. Fanciers have bred
for show-rink attributes with COM
parative disregard for proficiency in
egg making, while utility breeders
have gone after egg flow. However,
just as the Holstein cow which wins
the blue ribbon at the fair is judged
not only on her form, conformation,
quality, and type, but also on the
quality and quantity of her milk yield.
so are poultry being judged on their
production and hightliness in CORE
spondence with breeding characters.
Birds of superior vigor and vitality
are necessary, as these qualities are
the basis of both successful egg yield
and premier exhibition attributes.
May Go Hand in Hand.
Utility and show ring poultrymen
often are at outs over nothing. There
is nothing in the standard require
ments directly opposed to utility, and
vice versa. Ambition of certain breed
ers to intensity and develop special
qualities in their fowls has resulted,
however, in a loss of constitutional
vigor and, consequently, egg-produc-
ing ability. Breeders who handle
fancy fowls whose standard enquire
ments demand extreme superficial
characters, such as excessive develop
ment of comb, face, or crest, satisfy
such conditions usually at the ex-
pense of utility qualities.
Unfortunately the opinion prevails
among many breeders Of utility poul-
try, who never have attempted to
breed for exhibition quality, that be-
cause fowls satisfy the standard re-
quirements they must, of necessity, be
poor producers. This is an erroneous
idea. The ambition of the leading
show men is not only to exhibit fowl
of the best breeding type. but also

WHEAT SAVING
CAMPAIGN WAS
AID TO STATE
Twenty Millions Of Wheat
Was Saved by Care in
Ihreshing Grain.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 27.-Repofts
from threshing committees and coun-
ty agricultural agents indicate that IN
diana was one of the chief benefici-
aries from the wheat saving campaign
conducted during the last season by
the United States food administration,
threshing division. The report OF Cap
tain Kenneth d. HeQuembourg, just
submitted to the administration.
shows net saving of more than TO-
100000 bushels OF wheat.
The threshing division of the Unit
ed States Food Administration grain
corporation was organized under Cap
tain Hequembourg's direction last
spring to bring about more careful
methods by threshermen and to OBJ
tain cooperation Of all agencies that
could assist in this work. The loss
Of wheat through hurried and careless
operation and inefficiency of thresh-
ing machines under old-time methods
was estimated at about 1926 per cent
Of the entire crop.
Captain Hequembourg in his report
tells of the organization of the work
as follows:
Tho Organization.
thirty-two states, with the coopera-
ton Of the agricultural departments
extension service and the state coun-
ellis Of national defense. were invited
to appoint grain threshing commit
tees in important wheat producing
counties. Over 1000 counties were
accordingly organized. circulars dis
tributed directing the character Of
the service and the manner of ap-
proach; meetings were held in prac-
tically all counties and threshermen
invited to membership in the food ad-
ministration. Over $4,000 certificates
of membership were issued and both
farmers and threshers entered hearth
ly into the plan of conservation.
1t was recommended that machin-
cry be thoroughly overhauled. shock
rows raked, threshing machines ad-
justment and cleanup more carefully
executed and tight bottom wagons
used in hauling the grain to the ma
chine. Priority in fuel for threshers'
engines, the department of labor's CO
operation in the distribution of expert
operators and the prompt delivery of
repair parts and supplies were invit-
ed and obtained. Forty-five manufac-
turers of threshing machinery offered
to cooperate, resulting in their nat
ional associations resolution of Ap-
ril 6, which brought forth gratis to
any thresher the repair and machin-
cry adjustment service Of their me-
chanical experts to augment the corps
of thirty practical threshermen's as
sistants, which was assembled during
May and instructed by the grain
threshing division at Indianapolis.
This service functioned through the
state food administration and county
thrcshing committees of the thresher-
men."

Of velvet is often done at home, and
a mistake that many women make in
their effort to restore the appearance
of velvet is the failure to realize that

Any of the ordinary dry cleaning
agents can be used to clean velvet or
any other silk fabric. providing the
proper precautions are taken
To restore the pile. the velvet
should ,be steamed by drawing back

or by placing wet cloth over a very
hot iron and then placing the back OF
