Sandy Chipmunk ate right on
the spot. And he began to feel
very happy. He had noticed that
Uncle Sammy tossed the ear Of
corn into basket which stood
beneath the table. And the bas-
lket was full OF corn. Sandy could
reach it Just as easily from the
front Of the table as Uncle Sammy
could from behind II.
And Sandy Chipmunk had
thought all at once Of way to
get good many nuts away from
Uncle Sammy, to pay for all the
wheat Uncle Sammy had eaten.

Uncle Sammy's Store


| Not long after Uncle Sammy
Coon ate half Of Sandy Chip
! munk's wheat without paying for
it he seemed to grow lamer than
ever. And he walked less than
ever, too. A good many of the
| forest folk said that he really was
not any lamer--but he was -lazier.
However that may have been,
| he began to stay at home a good
deal of the time. And finally
Sandy Chipmdnk heard that Uncle
Sammy had opened a store, in
which he kept all sorts of good
things to eat.
When Sandy learned that he
lost no time in going over to Unlle
Sammys house near the swamp.
Sure enough! There he found
Unlle Sammy sitting behind long
table. And behind him were
shelves loaded with apples, pears,
corn, nuts and many other kinds
of food.
"I'd like to buy some nuts"
Sandy Chipmunk told the old
gentleman.
'Nuts?" said Uncle Sammy II
have some fine nuts"
Let me see a sample, Sandy
said.
But Uncle Sammy never stir
red.
There they are, right on the
shelf" he said. Look at them
all you want to-"
S'"I'll eat one and see how T like
it, said Sandy Chipmunk.
But Uncle Sammy shook his
head.

fashioned way of keeping n
store. 1 don't give away any
samples"
When Sandy heard that he was
angrier than ever. And he wish
ed he had never given Uncle Sam
my any samples Of his wheat.
But he knew there was no use of
angry. So he smiled
and asked:
What is the price of your

Sammy said.
''I'll take handful said Sandy
Still the old fellow never stir

where's your ear of corn?" he
inquired.
"Oh! I'll give you that the hcxt

And he made up his mind that he
would take good care to keep away
from Uncle Sammy's house.
But Uncle Sammy Coon was
TOO sharp.
THAT won't do at ALL" he said.
II must have the corn before I
give you the nuts"
So Sandy Chipmunk stepped to
he door.
''IlI come back soon," he said

"But l said 'handful'--not a

course, if you don't want this juicy
ear or corn, there are others that
would like it," He started to
pick the ear OF corn off the table
when Uncle Sammy rose juickly.
"All right" he cried. But it's
the old-fashioned way; and don't
like it," Then he gave Sandy a
small handful of beechnuts.

PREPARE CAPONS
FOR BEST PRICE
No Feed or Water Should Be
Given for "a Hours Before
Fowls Are Killed.
STICKING METHOD FAVORED
Some Feathers Should Be Allowed to
Remain as Distinguishing Mark
Pack in Neat Boxes of Most
Convenient Size.

Capons selected for killing should
be confined for "a hours without feed
or water to empty their crops COM
pletely. The usual method of killing
is known as the sticking method. The
fowl is hung up by the feet, the head
in the left hand, and the whole body
stretched to full length. The mouth is
forced open and the blood vessels at
the back of the throat are severed
with a sharp narrow-biaded knife.
The knife is then turned and the
point plunged through the roof of the
mouth to a point just behind and be-
tween the eyes, piercing the brain.
The muscles are relaxed and the
feathers come out easily.
Dry Picking Is Best.
Capons should always be dry picked,
as they look much better and as some
of the feathers should be left on. The
feathers'of the neck and head, the tail
feathers, those Il short way up the
back, the feathers of the last two
joints of the wing, and those of the
leg, about one-third of the way from
knee to hip joint, should be left on.
These feathers, together with the head
of the capon, serve to distinguish it
from other classes of poultry on the
market, and consequently should
never be removed. In packing, be
careful not to tear the skin. Bad
tears, poultry specialists of the United
States department of agriculture say,
should be sewn up. Capons scalded
and picked bare bring very little, If
any, better prices than other poultry
in the same condition.
Most markets require capons to be
undrawn and the head and feet left

SLATE MOLTERS ARE FAVORED
During July and August Are Not
Z Best Layers.

If has been observed that the best
LAYERS usually mott during the latter
part of September or the months OF
October, November and December.
Hens that mott during July and
August are not the profitable hens, as
they rest for three or four months
while they grow their new feathers
ond will not start in laying until the
following February or March. These
hens are not the kind to use either in
the breeding pen or the laying pen. In
some cases, the early hatched puIlets
of the year previous will start mott
inc during June, and a little judgment
shouid be exercised in such cases. A
check should be made with other tests.

MILL GIRLS MARRY YOUNG
Many Villages in the South Where
There Are Absolutely No Old
Maids Found.

A village without an old maid
sounds somewhat like fairy tale, but
several such places exist down below
the Mason and Dixon line.
"All the women get married in the
mill villages of South Carolina, and
at an early age" says Y. W. c. ~.
Industrial secretary stationed at Green
Vile, where she works among the girls
In 10 mills.
Perhaps economic independence has
something to do with it, as marriage
is not looked upon by the girls as a
meal ticket, but as a fifty-fifty PROPOSE
ton. The wives do not give up their
jobs but keep right on working.
That the textile industry In South
Carolina absorbs a large number of
women as we'll as men workers is not
surprising, considering the fact that
there are as many as Is mills in 70
counties. With the population of the
state estimated at 1,50O015 people, 81
9O4 are mill workers, and 190,26S are
dependents on mill pay. The valua-
ton of the mills is $75,000,00O and the
weekly pay roll is $1,000,OO0.

CUT SWEET CLOVER FOR SEED

Sweet clover is difficult to harvest
for seed because 1t natures its seeds
unevenly. The best time to cut it for
seed is when half the seed pods have
turned dark, and any grain or corn

stock will consume some of 1t. When
it is too coarse for feed 1t makes

Pack in Neat Box.
After picking, the carcasses are
hung in cool place until the animal
heat has entirely left the body, when
they are ready to be packed. Like
other poultry they should be packed
in boxes of convenient size, holding a
dozen carcasses, or in barrels. Every
attention should be given to neatness
and attractiveness, as this helps the
sale and the price. During the time
