ON CURING SWEET POTATOES

Clemson College, October 25.--
a great many new sweet potato cur
ing houses have been constructed in
South Carolina this year, and the
successful use of these will depend
aside from proper construction of the
houses and careful grading of the po-
tatoes, upon the observance of Ger
tain rules and principles concerning
temperature, ventilation, etc
The following "tcn command
ments" should be observed during
the curing and storage period in the
operation Of the sweet potato house

|. Maintain a temperature Of 80

period, ten to fourtcnA days.
2. Give thorough ventilation dur

3. Close the floor vcntilatols at
night, if danger Of frost.
4. In very severe weather, close

while at the same time they pay no
attention to the details that experience
ed raisers know spell success or fail
ure. Looking after details takes time,
but it is time we'll expended whether
you have few birds or many.
Culling The Slackers
Take, for instance, culling the flock
One who has Il flock, one third of
whose members are not paying beard
crs, must expect to have his profits
cut down one-third. The intelligent
culling of the poultry flock is of ut
most importance for success in poul-
try keeping. Culing serves three
purposes, say poultry specialists Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. First, it Increase the pro-

unfit for food. AS a matter of fact,
the dealer does not pay for the bad
eggs brought in. He pays a low
enough price so that he can have u
number of eggs thrown out and still
make a profit.
The poultry man who is in the
poultry business for profits handles
his eggs properly and markets them
while they are strictly fresh. so that
he sells and demands quality prices for
his quality eggs. BY providing plen-
ty Of nests, so hens do not steal their
nests; by gathering the eggs twice a
q day in summer and once in winter,
and marketing them very frequent
ly, he keeps down the percentage Of
loss
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-10-27

fits by nsuring that the feed will be
consumed by the better producing
hens, the profit payers, and will not
be consumed by the poor producers
that are kept at loss. Second, it
makes it possible to save those best
suited for breeders, both on account of
their better production and on account
of their superior strength and vital
ity. which have enabled them to stand
up under the severe strain of heavy
laying. Third, wedding out the poor
hen gives those left more room and a
better chance.
Cullmg should be continuous
throughout the year. This continuous
culling should cause to be weeded out,
when discovered, any hen that is sick,
very thin or shows evidences of non
production, weakness, or poor vitality.
The whole flock should also be given
a careful and systematic culling at
least once during the year. When a
single systematic culling is made, the
best time to do it is nthc early fall
The hens should be handled individual
Iy and gone over carefully, with the
object of dividing them into two lots,
one the better producers and the other
the poor producers. Leg-band those
in the better class and market those
selected as the poor producers.
Animal Feed Needed
Many small poultry keepers, while
accepting the purchase Of grain as a
part and parcel of poultry keeping,
green cut bone, meat scraps, or animal
meal, is kind OF luxury that can be
,, dispensed with; but if a poultry man
| is to get the best results from his
fowls in winter, he must furnish this
kind of feed. Green cut bone is US
ually fed by itself, while the scrap and
meal may he readily mixed with the
ration. Cut bone consist of green or
| fresh bone, sliced or shaved into thin
pieces, but beef bones fresh from the
butchers have more or less matter adj
| herring to them, an dthe more of such
matter the better, for the combination
Of bone and meat is excellent for pro-
ducing eggs. Green cut bone should
be fed carefully and in a sweet condi-
ton, otherwise bowel trouble may re-
suit. One pound a day is sufficient for
25 hens, but not over one-half pound
should be fed to that number when
first beginning to feed it. The mash
for laying hens should contain from IL
to 20 per cent of meat scraps; that IS
pound Of meat scraps In or
pounds Of mash. After the fowls have
become accustomed to animal meal 0,
meat scraps, it may be kept constantly
before them. Experiments made or
the Government poultry farm at Belts
vile have shown that flock Of hens
fed some form of animal feed will pro
duce SO per cent more eggs than thu
same flock or another which is no
fed any meat scraps.
Gambling Eggs.
One Of the bad practices that have
grown up with the selling of eggs ha
been what is known as the Gloss Off
. basis or lease count" That is, the egf
huckster or storekeeper pays for tn
eggs he buys from the farmer regard
less of the quality. 1t must be recog

1t is an unusual business that sue
ceeds when little or no attention is
given to it's details. Poultry raising
certainly is not in this class, and yet
many people complain that there are
no profits to be made with poultry

majority of 100000 against his
ticket. Can anyone imagine that
Tennessee would have given its cleo
tor votes to Harding if Gen. Tyson
had been democratic vice-presidential
candidate?
| AS it is, Tennessee went for Hard
ing. The reason for that decision
has been thoroughly discussed, but
are not even yet at all plain. Be
that as it may, 1t is salutary lesson,
both to the democrats of the state
and of the nation, that Tennessee can
go republican. 1t will awaken the
national organization to- the import
ance of giving the south considera-
ton in party matters. 1t will awak-
en- the democrats of the state to the
fact that eternal vigilance is the
price of success.
The border states" gave another
of the many shocks of the election to
the party. Kentucky did give it's
electoral vote to Cox, but by so mar
row a margin that democrats might
well shudder with alarm at it's near
detection. Oklahoma's majority was
republican. The other border
states unanimously went republican.
Missouri, Maryland, West Virginia,
each cast it's electoral vote for Hard
ing and Coolidge. 1t is a time to
pause. What would these states
have done if there had been south
ern candidate? The result could not
have been any worse that it was. 1t
would likely have been immeasurably
better. The vote of Maryland, Mis-
souri, and Tennessee would not have
been lost to the party. 1t is time
for the democrats of the nation to
heed the call of the south. 1t is en-
titled to great say in the councils
of democracy. And it will not be
long before it demands this part, and
will not be satisfied with less than its
just share.-Chattano News.

young lady, general interest in whom
will be increased by the fact that her

The Party Must Recognize the South
From points of view the breaking
of the "solid south" by Tennessee
may be of some benefit to the demo-
cratic party. For sixty years the
south has gone to the ballot box and
voted for the democratic nominee
1t made little difference whether he
were from Nebraska or New Jersey
New York or Ohio, the south cast It's
ballot for him.
And, because of the dependaDillty
of the vote of the south, it was
never consulted in the party councils
to any extent. 1t never had hand
in naming the democratic standard
bearer. "Expediency" one time die
tated that an attempt be made to win
the western vote, the next time the
New York vote and so on. The vote
of Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and
the other solid" southern states was
not considered. 1t wasn't necessary.
With what result? A party al
most bankrupt because of "expedien-
cyl" The section depended on for a
solid vote showing signs of disinte-
grafton under republican assaults! !
The greatest defeat of sixty years.
