orders for carbon blsulphld and placed
them through Their county agent. The
purchase totaled 1000 pounds and the
material was secured Mt saving OF
3S cents pound under the price that
would have been charged for indivld-
ual purchases in small quantities, so
that the deal represented saving OF
$3.50 to these farmers. This carbon
blsulphid will be used in fumigatlng

from this source sometimes are as

corn either have remodeled their old
cribs To make them alright or have
built new ones.

cial precautions should be exercised
to free the garbage from soapy water
or excess liquid, this being commonly
accomplished by dipping off and feed
ing the top of the garbage and allow
ing the excess liquid to remain in the
container.
Feeds Garbage Freely.
One Southern poi'ltryman who
handles about 1000 fowls reports ex-
cellent results from the use of we'll
selected garbage. which he obtains
from large charitable institution. He
hauls the garbage twice a day, and
feeds it to the birds about ten o'clock
in the morning and again during the
middle of the afternoon, so that the
table scraps are fed fresh, only two
or three hours after they are discard
ed from the kitchen. This poultry
man feeds the garbage on the grass Of
the range in such quantity that the
fowls clean up all the refuse. The
successful results obtained by this
chicken fancier are due largely to the
well-selected and thoroughly fresh
garbage which is fed. He reports ex-
cellent results not only from the feed
ing Of garbage to fattening cockerels
and old hens, but also to its use for
laying hens and pullets. Even small
number of turkeys which are main
tanned on this farm are always atten-
lively on the watch for the garbage
wagon. The gobblers relish table
scraps keenly and desert tender grass
hoppers and nutritious chestnuts as
readily as the chickens scamper from
sueculent alfalfa and well-fi,ied hop

spread out on the ground.
