POULTRY FLOCK PROVIDES LIN-
 ING FOR THE FAMILY

By making poultry raising buSi- ness and by knowing her business, Mrs R. l.. Hanks of Cato in Pulaski county has been able to make almost family during the past year from her flock of White Leghorns.
 Last year Mrs. Hanks sold $500 worth of eggs from her flock and ex poets to go over that mark this year. she believes in standard bred birds and is convinced that to make a sue cess of the poultry business one must know and do. Raising chickens as a business vii pay and making it pay means knowing the business and keep ing a record of production. The poultry raiser must know when a hen does not pay her board and why. Is it feed, water, housing or lack of ability to] lay that makes the hen unprofitable? These things are determined by the records kept.
 One of the most noticeable features of the Hanks farm is the poultry house and the chicken run. \ forty-foot run is arranged between the yard and the chicken house. Upon inspection it is found that the poultry equipment con- sistS of many things which make healthy chickens and profitable layers.
 The poultry house is comfortable, roomy warm, well ventilated with a South exposure and is rat proof. \ dry mash is always found ill the run with plenty of litter to make the search for feed interesting and profitable. Hens left to dig for themselves with ,l Y scraps from the table and barn c,,!t not give returns i'll egg production that are given lf the foe that has ag for egg pro luetion and k carefn! tl; all feed ie condu,tiy, to egg lay ing
 During the last Christmas season Mrs. Hanks sold eggs for so and 20 cents dozen, which made one egg almost as valuable as a pound of cot ton. This year finds Mrs. Hanks with 200 hens and bullets. She will keep records. trap nest and use all practices that make each hen a profitable in- veStment.

 Many years ago the writer became convinced that he could not grow out pigs properly without milk.

 In short, the feeders of livestock learned this many years ago, but only recently has it been proved that the same fact holds true for growing chil- drep. There is no substitute for milk. It is an absolute necessity for the prop ar growth and development of children II is not necessary that the child drink the milk, but it must get milk in some way. Whole milk must be consumed, as drink, in soups, in bread in creamed foods or in some other form This has been proved beyond any question and

ALI MINIM DUST EXPLOSIVE

Fine particles of aliuminum iioa : ing in the air of confined spaces may explode with considerable violence. just as dust of organic materials will do mOcr similar conditions. The metal in a finely divided state burns quietly if n small quantity is ignited. II is explosive only when mixed with the air; an electric spark may readily set it of.
 Water cannot be used to quench burning aluminium because in the chemical reaction between it and the burning metal hydrogen, highly in namable gas. is evolved Tn plants where aluminium is reduced to DOW dere and where the powder is used in the prepa ration of paints etc, careful precautions are necessary to guard against explosions. The reason alum mum dust is explosive is that such d large surface of the metal is exposed to the air, thus permitting very rapid oxidation

IMPROVING THE TRUCK MARKET.

In December. 1919, few of the pro- gressive farmers of the community got busy, and with the help and advice of our county agent, w |. Vail. sue. ceeded in prefecting all organization known as the Theodore Cooperative Association. Every farmer in the neighborhood is a member of the asso ciation
 The problem of securing a sales manager was quickly solved by our association affiliatinG with the Gulf Coast Produce Exchange, q farmers organization with offices in Mobile. Ii is the central organization with local organizations scattered about over the county in which Theodore is situated.
 We shiped from Theodore JJ cars of cabage and 26 cars of Irish pota- toes
 The cabbage season was one con tinual round of trouble First, rail road strikes, then car shortage, and ice shortage. Our sales manager aided us, however, and we pulled through the season, receiving a higher price for our cabbage than local commission men were paying.
 Before we shiped our first car of potatoes local men were offering $6 per hundred. Our first car sold for S75O. Most of them brought SS and one car So per hundred. We shipped our last car Thursday June 10, and on the following Saturday local men would pay only 8. It is a significant fact that we received S7.50 per hun dred for the last ear. On Irish pOta proximately S13.0oo to the farmers of Theodore
 This fall we bought our fertilizers through the exchange, and by buying the raw ma erial in carlots and mixing them ourselves we saved about S2O per ton over the best price we could get for ready-miNed goods. For nitrate We paid about S35 per ton less than men were offering it.
 Through the farmers organization We are undertaking some neighbor- hood improvements. A petition has been presented to the proper author ities. and in the near future we hope to wipe out the swamps. chase the malaria mosquitoes, and reclaim some of the finest land in Theodore II F.

SELLING AND BUYING CO-OPERA-
 TNEIN.

In May 1919. group of Fairvicw farmers met informally to discuss ways of bettering the community. The need of cooperation WAS recognized but the population was so scattered and means of communication. such aS roads, so poor thaI the task of organiA- ing seemed difficult. was decided that q rural telephone reaching into different sections of the township was necessary. before much co-opera [ on could be looked for, Building up one line system already in use, it proved to be easier than was expected to raise the money for an exchange and branch lines with about 40 telephones.
 A committee was then appointed to study the problem of how the produce of the township could best be mar keted and production thereby stimu- lated. This committee suggested the building of four car lengths of track and a warehouse at the nearest rail road point,
