POULTRY CLUB GIRL MAKES $s4o

Miss Vannes HartseH OF Greene
county has gone on record in her
poultry club work. During the past
year she made $340. Some of her
money she invested in war saving
stamps, while part of the savings
was used to buy new birds for her
flock. She has been in the poultry
Club work for the past two years.
She has rose combed White Wyan-
dottes. At the community fair she
won the blue ribbon for her fowls.
From her flock she sells pullets, and
cockerels for breeding purposes and
hse sells some eggs for Matching. In
1918 she made only $3.50 from her
birds, but seeing the advantage of a
good flock she has Increased her
number and consequently her in
creas in returns.
Mrs. H. J. Wisecorver keeps a
flock averaging ESQ Barred Rocks.
Mrs. Wiseca.ver started the year
1919 with the determination to make
$1,000 from her flock. This shows
her interest and faith in the work,
as she lives twelve miles from town,
and only has a small country store
for, marketing her products. Her
prices ranged during the last year
from 35 cents to 60 cents a dozen for
eggs. However, in December when.
she averaged up her sales, she found
she had made $1199.12. So she only
fell SO cents short of her aim, which
was a mighty nigh one considering
all the circumstances.
Another phase Of poultry raising
has been undertaken by Sophia Will
Jams, who has been raising Bronze
turkeys for three years. During the
past year she raised As turkeys. just
before Thanksgiving selling Is and
receiving check for $91. She has
never had any sick turkeys during
her three years experience.
Still another phase or poultry work
has been undertaken by Miss Fannie
Wilhoit, who ships eggs to New
York. She makes Shipment each
week, and the past summer she real
lied So cents dozen for the eggs.
During the past year her entire
sales amounted to $187S.

A SAFE TEST

For those who are in need of a
remedy for kidney troubles and back
ache, it is good plan to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. They are strongly rec
commended by Cookeville people.
Mrs. Willie Starnes, 40S w. Broad
ST., Cookeville, says: II suffered
from kidney trouble. My back ached
so thought it would break and
couldn't get any rest day or night,
and was hardly able to be on my
feet. Black specks appeared before
my eyes and had nervous, dizzy
spells. My limbs and knee joints
we're swollen and the action of my
kidneys was irregular. Doan's Kid
ney Pills. procured from WHY'S Drug
store helped me from the start and
soon my kidneys acted regularly, the
aches and pains left and l was free
from all kidney trouble"

CARE OF FRUIT TREES

Now is the time to take care oi
our fruit trees. 1t is getting the
time of year that we should begin
studying about taking care of our or
chards il we expect to get any fruit
this year. That means we will have
to prune and spray our trees IL we
expect to get fruft. A few years
ago we did not have all these para
cytic diseases which we have at
lI-is time and we must get rid of
them if we hope to do any good in
the fruit proving.
Among the most destrU tive of
these diseases is San Jose Scale or
Chinese Scals as it is called. This
disease is found in most every or
chard. You may not notice it if you
hav not studied this disease but
will notice that some of your trees
are looking pale and are not showing
a thrifty growth during the summer
season and IN a couple of years or
more they die, and il you will notice
the bark on these trees it is scaly
and rough with a small scale all
over the tree.
The only way 20 get rid of this IS
by spraying the orchard with some
dormant spray. Lime or sulphur is
about the most sommonly used of
these and serves the purpose we'll,
and can be obtained ct the drug
stores. The trees should be prun-
ed before spraying il this has not
already been done, cut all the dead
wood out and burn it and then spray
the trees while they are dormant.
shall be glad to give you any
assistance in this work if you will
call on me.

l am writing this letter to recon-
mend the Fordson Tractor have
been using this tractor -or about two
years and find that it will easily
take the place If from four TO SIX
horses in breaking, discing end pre-
pairing a seed bed. We find that it
will pull a Birdsell Glover Huller
satisfactorily. Last year we were
able to turn crimson clover land af-
ter the seed crop was removed and
this land was planted in corn ON
June IL. and produced i good crop.
We also disced, turned anL prepared
40 acres Of crimson clover land IN
July and August when the weather
was SO hot the use of teams was i'm
practical. We did rapid work by
running night and day. We have al
so found the Roderick Lean Light

people and tested out by them, to be
very satisfactory. Yours truly,

Need for EIaures.

A favorite Madison square argument
from the soapbox is to hold up hat
and yell:
~ paid SO for this hat; the man who
made It got "a cents. The employer
got S2.76. What are you going to dc
about it?"
Now, the manufacturer Of that hat
knows that he rarely gets half as much
as the worker got; he also knows that
the speaker neglects the cost of the
raw material, the cost of preparing the
material, the cost of transportation.
and the cost of selling-all of which
involve labor; that also he, and every
one who handles either the material or
the finished hat, have to pay rent and
taxes. But instead of posting In fig
ures. that employer is more than likely
to suggest that more Americanization
Is needed and would like TO have some
one play the 'Star-Spangied Banner"

BoBBYS MEMORY ALSO GOOD
In the Matter Of Quoting Proverbs
Small Boy May Be Said to Have
Scored on Uncle.

Old Uncle Arthur was visiting his
niece In the city. And he was much
given 10 the repeating of proverbs,
especially 10 small Bobby on his COM
hitting any misdemeanOr. Now Uncle
Arthur himself was not free of vices
and Bobby certainly hoped that some
day something would give q chance
to retort at his great uncle. Finally
his chance came.
The family was at the dinner table
when Bobby arrived home from school.
Being very hungry he rushed straight
to the table. The first thing Uncle Ar
thur did was to give him long,
searching look, which showed him the
dirty little hands Bobby had neglected
TO wash. Bobby" he began impress
sively, IL see you've forgotten that old
proverb which says: Cleanliness Is
next to godliness.'
The family looked embarrassed. But
not Uncle Arthur. He felt that he had
done his duty and he majestically lift
ed his cup of coffee and took long,
loud gulp of that beverage. That gulp
brought Bobby his chance. "Yes, /
had forgotten that one, Uncle Arthur"
he said sweetly, "but remembered the
one that said Drink slowly and dis
tinctly.'"
Even Uncle Arthur was too much
surprised to tell Bob that he had made
a slight mistake In the quotation. But
they all did think 1t mighty fitting.
