OUR HOUSEHOLD

they were put in the cotton fields to
catch the bolls that dropped.
There were fourteen pigs and one
sow. Our sows were not put there.
When cotton began to open they were
taken out, and you never saw any
thing thrive more than that sow and
her pigs. They had been in dry
lot and it was about to get the best
of them. So, if you must plant cot
ton be sure to have some pigs in
there. A sorghum patch that the
drought had ruined was in one end
of this one, but they did not get
much out of that.
If nothing prevents, this farmer
will plant rye and clover between the
cotton rows. One rye patch has been
planted and two acres that had soy
beans will have rye next week. L
wish that the undecided could see
one of our fields of corn and soy
beans. The land was not extra good,
just flair to middling." The corn
rows put six feet, anart left a place
sort, and that field has been a show.
Our county agent said it looked like
a river bottom field. 1t is taking
grit, grace and gumption to gather
the hay. By holding the bushes they
can be. cut with heavy corn knives
turned over next day and carefully
tied like fodder except they use crab
grass for bands. 1t is not costing a
bit more than fodder, if one consid-
ers the difference in weight and feed
value. Cattle, hogs and horses eat
stems, leaves and beans, and when
the corn is gathered there will be a
good pasture along the corn rows.
But let me tell you now, to COM
mence right now to get rid Of rab-
bits.
Two acres near cedar grove had
tn ho 1o1ontn6 tIUion and q nix of
corn near a woods lot has perhaps
six bean stalks. I offered twenty
five cents for each rabbit and got
seven. L fed them to the big red
SOW and nA long ago a little black
kitten, that some one dropped over
our fence, followed me into the lot
and that sow nearly got it. 1 sup
pose she thought it was a rabbit.
Some Of us Taught about new resolu-
TONS but they are ladders to help us
climb. It's going to be hard to put
any surplus money in the bank To
some it's going to be hard to pay
debts, but let's do our best to wipe
off the slate. Wives in some homes,
husbands in others, can think of doz-
ems of places to go or things to buy.
It's nice to be able to count out
money and take home nice things, but
it's more comfortable to know that
if misfortune comes there is a sur
plus at the bank to meet it. It's not
what your crop brings you this fall
that really counts, it's what you do
with the money.
Cures for Timber Neck and Cholera
Dear Editor: thought L would
chat a few. minutes with you this
1mf5o nor il we TAX take The Journal:
especially Mrs. Thomas letters on
poultry. as l have a good many and
like to get good advice. A lady told
me a few days ago that her mother
had lost eighty hens, ten in one day,
with timber neck, and didn't know
what to do for, them. I gave mine
spoonful of castor oil, and if they
are not better in about six hours I
repeat the dose. It's a, sure cure for
timber neck. I see in the poultry
paper that there is not any cure for
chicken cholera. If you give those
that have it about eight drops of
asafoetida in water twice day I'M
til better, you will never lose one,
and put twenty drops in their drink
ing water t. prevent the others from
having it. Keep everything clean. l
saw in the paper where Mrs. FELTON,
said she suffered with corns on her
feet. If she will paint them with
tincture of iodine it will kill them.

A pill of asafoetida will do wonders
for a sick hen. Before it got so
high I always kept some with my
poultry remedies. And put lump
in the drinking water.
