Surest Cure for
Egg-Eating Hens
Is Reliable Ak

Egg eating sometimes becomes d
serious vice in a flock, the fowls be-
coming very fond of eggs when they
have learned to eat them. The hab-
it spreads from fowl to fowl and
unless checked will often spread
through the whole flock. Egg eat,
ing usually begins through accident
by eggs being broken Or frozen. See
that the nests are properly supplied
with straw or other nesting mate
rial and have them darkened, SO
that If an egg is accidentally brok-
en- the fowls will not be likely to
discover it. Supply plenty of lime
in the form of oyster shells, bone
or similar substances to insure a
firm shell. AS soon as it is discov-
cred that a fowl has formed the
habit, the fowls should be removed
to prevent the spread of the vice
Once formed, it is difficult to Grad
icate, and the safest remedy is the
lists of the United States department
of agriculture.
Fowls sometimes pluck feathers
from themselves and from each 9TH
er. This is often caused by too close
confinement, by the presence Of in
sect pests, or by improper feeding.
When some of the fowls of flock
have" formed the habit slightly, a
wide range with a change Of diet,
including a plentiful supply of anil
NAL feed, and freedom from insect
pests, will usually correct the evil.
Above all, see that the fowls have
plenty of inducement to exercise. If
the habit becomes we'll formed it is
very troublesome and may necessi-
tate the killing of some of the fowls
in order to StOD it.

Soap Substitutes
Are Recommended
In Certain Cases

When the action of soap is likely
to injure a delicate color, use soap
brick, starch water, or bran water
advise home economics specialists Of
the United States department of ag-
riculture.
Soapbark, although not a SOAP
when heated in water will form
suds. To prepare it for. use, boil for
ten minutes a cup Of the bark with
one quart of water; then cool and
strain the liquid. The "soapy" wa
ter may be used full strength for
sponging, or diluted for washing
half of this amount is enough for
one-half tubful of water. Since the
liquid is brownish, it should be used
only on dark-colored goods.
Starch water Is especially good for
cleaning delicate cotton fabrics This
is usually made by adding thin
starch paste to the wash water. Wa
ter in which rice has been boiled, if
it is not -discolored, may be used in
stead. If it is not desirable to have
the material starched slightly, it
must be rinsed in salt water.
Bran water, made in the same way
as soapbark solution, is useful with
colors that are likely to fade. 1t
does not give suds, but cleans like

Regardless of what cotton farmers

Despite disappointments in pre-

Gets Great Results
From Crop of Vetch

Mr. F. Lee Gaines, young farmer
of Townsville, S. c., who farms in
Anderson and Oconee counties, has
secured some remarkable results with
Vetch and oats as a cover crop Ac-
cording to recent report of George
K. Briggs, Oconee county agent, Mr..
Gaines will average over a bale per
acre on upwards of 100 acres Of cot
ton. One field will average proba-
bly, 1 IL bales per acre. A tenant
share-cropper made twenty-five bales
on 16 acres in 1919. On still another
field sixteen bales were harvested
as compared with a harvest of only
three bales from the same field
Just four years ago. Vetch and oats
made the difference.
M. Gaines turned under vetch and
oats four feet high last spring, ana
his neighbors thought he was crazy,
but he told them to wait and see.
And they did see Mr.. Gaines sows
vetch and oats in the cotton fields
in the fall, and while there is slight
damage to the cotton, he does not
worry over this damage for he is
repaid for it hundred fold in ben
efits from the clover crop. His
farm is becoming sort of mecca for
other farmers who visit it to see
what he is accomplishing, and what

soil.
The pecan tree grows in a wide va
cultivation in South Georgia. Its
natural habitat is the rich bottoms
along streams and rivers. One may
naturally expect it, therefore, to OBJ
tain it's most vigorous growth and
to produce it's largest crops on soils
best on land which is well drained
and on which there is a free circula-
ton Of air. We do not think you
| will find it very profitable or desir-
able to plant pecan trees on very very
leachy. This type Of soil does not
retain plant food we'll Or resist
drought satisfactorily. Of course,
such soils may be made rich to a
certain extent through, the use of
leguminous crops and abundant sup
plies of yard manure. but even then
we do not regard this type Of land
as especially well suited to the
growth Of pecan trees. There are,
no doubt. areas of soil of the type
ton of the state and upon these pc
can orchards should prove profitable.
Pecan trees should be planted
from forty to sixty feet apart, de-
| pending on the richness of the land.
Intertilled crops may be grown Dor
several years if the soil Is unusually
rich. A part of these crops should
be turned under so as to supply the
land with the needed vegetable mat
| ter. Such intertilled field crops as
may be grown should be fortified
after the method you would normal
| ly follow. Pecan trees. when first
set out, may or may not need to be
| fortified. If the land is relatively
| low in nitrogen, we think the use Of
minimum Of five pounds of ferti-
lizer per tree will be desirable. This
tree after it has been set. Work the
| fertilizer into the surface soil. A
formula containing 3.5 per cent of
nitrogen, 10 per cent Of phosphoric
acid and 4 to 5 per cent Of potash

may be fortified each year with a

creased until in four or five years
as much as 10 to IL pounds per tree

Among the other varieties regarded

is a very large nut, but 1t does not

tendency to scab; otherwise 1t is a

Timely Advice Given
By Clemson College

CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. C-The
grape vines should be pruned before
January LIST. This is to lessen the
danger of bleeding, which is very
detrimental to the muscadines. Old
vines trained to an arbor will stand
severe cutting back, which is nee
essary to produce good vigorous
growth and to maintain fruit pro-
duction.
The muscadine grape will produce
the best results when trained to a
trellis, using three wires instead Of
two as in training the bunch va
rieties. Posts should be at least 8
to 9 feet in lengt--, and set to 8
feet in the ground. The wire should
be 2 feet apart on the posts, which
should be 16 feet apart. The wines
should be set at least 25 feet apart
in the row.
For early cabbage Early Jersey
Wakefield are excellent Varieties,
and should be planted in an open
furrow before December LIST. Sue
cession is an excellent mid-season
variety.

the individual grower with a few

done best through cooperative mar
