Notes from Our Home
Demonstratinn Agent.
Miss Mae Cooper C. n. o. A.
Possibilities for interviewing
School and Community In
terests Through the County
Home Extension Work.

After very careful survey OF
our own county in order to deter
mine which interests we may wise
ly utilize in our work, we then
survey each community and learn
of organizations connected with
world interests with which our
girls and women may cooperate.
If possible the plan of action is
determined by the girls and women
themselves, under the guidance OF
the county home agent.
1t mast not be supposed that
community and world service will
, supplant entirely the former use of
more personal projects. This
would be upwise, for 1T would
leave out of account the girlish in
stincts for beauty of dress and
home furnishings, and home in
I tereSts and activities. Further
more, it would be difficult to giN e
the proper value to the home
activities if only the community
and world interests were utilized
Girls should be taught that in
order to save time for community
service, and to provide physical
health in individuals for the
accomplishment of such service,
training in the work OF the home
is fundamental.
The late war was valuable
asset in placing Home Economics
in the public school curriculum,
as a result of the phenomenal
opportunities for service. No
means of educational propaganda
is more valuable than accomplish
ment. In order to secure oppor-
tunilies for using family quantities
in food preparations the clubs very
often provide one or more dishes
for picnic or family reunion,
church supper or meals served by
other organizations, each member

the second feeding they may have
a little better than q haf feeding
Increase the amount each time
till they have full foqd after four
or five feeding. Feed them 3 times
per day on this milk ration anG
at night after they have had their
last milk ration give them little
corn or corn chops and a litt,e
water. Do not give them any
water at any time. Never leave
any feed in the trough before them
after they have all they want.
This is one of the most important
plrts of the iattening. This wet
feed left before them will sour and
give them indigestion and diarhCa
and destroy your purpose. Feed
them about ten days to two weeks,

was caught in a smau pond near
Sumter is uncertain, but it is be-
ing watched closely and specimens
of the offspring may be sent to
Atlanta for classification. Several
schools of young fish bron in the
bowl have been placed in other

of the cannibalisticA.J A.Jendencies of
the mother, ninety to a hundred of
the small fish being born alive
