CYLINDER OIL FOR HOGS

Old oil from automobile crank
cases can be used for oiling hogs'
saw the animal husbandrymen at
Iowa State College. Although some
people are skeptical about using this
sort of oil, the Ames men declare
that it is safe, except possibly in
the case of white hogs, which have
a delicate skin that sometimes
blisters through the use of the oil.
The oil should be allowed to stand
for while in order to allow the fine
particles of metal to settle out The
surface oil may then be poured off
and used in the hog oilers. The sedi-
ment should be discarded.-Wa Wallace's S

DATES CHANGED

Sunnyside Had Its Event As Sched-
uled,. But Others Have
Been Postponed
CHILDREN WILL EXHIBIT HERE

The dates of several of the
local fairs in Orange county have
been changed. Sunnyside, out
west of Chapel Hill, held the first
meeting just as scheduled, and
the Damascus engagement, for
tomorrow (Friday) remains the
same. But the fair at White
Cross is postponed until Thurs
day, September 27, and the one
+ at Orange Grove until Friday
B The 26th.. Merritt's is down for
Tuesday the 25th and Mitchell
Hill (Oaks) for next Tuesday
the 26th.
The postponements are made
because the farmers are eX-
tremely busy now cutting hay,
pulling fodder, saving pea-vines,
and cutting and curing tobacco.
At the Chapel Hill fair, to be
held Monday, September "a, at
the school, the exhibitors will
be children; principally, of
course, those who are in the ag.
!, ricultural classes.
r p. Harris, who is conduct
ing the fairs, finds that the
farmers roundabout this section
seem to be most interested in
poultry. Many of them have ac-
quired pure-bred flocks in the
last year or two and are anxious
to show what these have accom-
plished in the way of prediction
The chief judges at the fairs
will probably be H. N. Kelly, as
1sistant agriculture teacher at the
school, and Miss Miriam Frost,
the home economics teacher.
The agriculture classes in the
Chapel Hill school have started
off with great enthusiasm. One
section is studying crops and
soils, the use of lime being the
topic under examination just
now. Another section is being
taught about the "year-round
garden" This group is made
up of 9th, 10th, and 18th grade
students. They are told what
to plant at various seasons for
example, the present month of
September is a good time to SOW
onions, beets, kale, rape, tur-
nips, carrots, spinach, and to
transplant celery, cauIifower,
lettuce, and cabbage.

school tax, in the Carrbor dis
trict, was defeated in an cleo
ion a week ago, and it is thought
that one reason the voters did

many did not want to send any
more of their money on a school
there when they could send their
Children to Chapel Hill. The
members of the .Cafrhoro bdard
