FARM NQTES

Make the hens scratch. 1t is good
for them and they enjoy it.
Very sandy, acid or poorly drained
soils will not support sweet clover.
The manifold luxuries of your own
garden will make you scorn the corner
grocery stuff.
Early-seeded oats will ordinarily
outyield later seeding by six or eight
bushels per acre.
II your incubator is being operated
in a room with uniform temperature
and we'll ventilated, 1t will give better
matches.
Rye makes a very good nurse crop
for clovers, and especially so when 1t
has been pastured closely in the fall
and winter.
Sometimes leg weakness becomes a
serious trouble and a great menace In
raising baby chicks. This trouble oc-
ours more often during the brooding
season.
The best perches are not more than
two feet from the floor, all on the
same level to prevent crowding. and
are movable so that they may be
easily kept clean.
The green bug becomes active dur
ing the first warm days Careful
watch should be kept for the appear
ance of dead plants in small circular
areas in the wheat fields. These
should be plowed under or straw scat
tered over them and burned.

Hens and Eggs Buy
Home Improvements
Poultry Products Sold by
South Carolina Women.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.l
Farm women OF Charleston county,
S. c., sold SAL pounds of poultry and
10,388 dozen eggs during 1923, as COM
pared with 900 pounds of market poul-
try and 1,009 dozen eggs in 1920. This
large increase in three years was ac-
complished, on the part of extension
workers comparatively directed by the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture and the state agricultural colleges,
by constantly emphasizing the value of
pure bred poultry and of the need of
grading all products. The home dem
onstration agent rendered all possible
assistance in the marketing of these
products, but the good results are at
tributed largely to the fact that at
every meeting held, no matter what
subject was discussed, poultry was adj
vised as a means of increasing the
home income, Out of 1873 women en-
rolled in home demonstration work, 20
improved their fiocks by the purchase
of standardized cockerels or baby
chicks.
In addition to selling poultry, 1887
pounds of butter and fresh vegetables,
amounting to $2,368.50, were sold in
the county. The money earned by the
women in these ways was divided into
three portions. One part was laid
away for rainy day, one part was
spent in supplying special needs of the
children, or for food or clothing, and
the third part was spent for home i'm
provements. Among these improve
ments, % houses were remodeled by
having additions, new floors, or new
lighting systems. Eleven women
bought gasoline irons, two made wheel
trays and four bought kitchen cabi-
nets fifteen planted fruit trees and
1873 planted local trees and shrubs to
beautify the home grounds.

said the palmlst ''If woman wears

If she wears plain gold band the
marriage dates further back. If she

she's engaged. If she's engaged she's
probably In love. That's all women

Work to Prevent Suffering.
The Department of Agriculture is
doing all it can in the most practical
ways to prevent animal suffering,
sometimes indirectly by using animals
to discover new facts and sometimes
directly by enforcing laws providing
for the human handling of domestic
animals. The federal enactment known
as the twenty eight-hour law, enforced
by the department, provides that ami
mails being shipped to market must
not be kept on cars more than 2S
hours without unloading for watering
and feeding and rest. Although the
department receives an appropriation
of only $4,000 year for this work,
it has done much to increase the COM
fort of animals on the way to the
markets. Within the past three years,
according to DR.. Mohler. violations of
this law have been cut In half. Deaths
of stock in transit have been reduced
to considerably less, than 1 per cent
and travelling inspectors report much
better conditions of handling, feeding
and watering. The railroads have
paid heavy fines and are making de-
termined efforts to have their en-
ployees comply strictly with the law.
1t is now rare to see cars Of live stock
shunted between two rows of box cars
in warm weather; care is taken to
put them on the outside tracks
Bruised animals are much fewer now.
The United States has become the
greatest live stock country in the
world, and one of the reasons for the
attainment Of this position is that In
this country much time and money
has been spent in developing methods
of preventing and Graduating dis
eases and adding to animal comfort.

Gave Her Ideas

A successful English novelist, Miss
Sheila Kaye-Smith, generously ac-
knowledges that in the case of two of
her stories fellow-author supplied
the basic idea. "The germ of my
novels" she says, as quoted by the
writer, sis generally a more or less
abstract idea which has somehow got
entangled with place. For instance,
man who subdues rough piece of
land-country back of Rye was the
germ of Sussex Gorse,' and woman
farmer-Romney Marsh, was the germ
of Joanna Godden.' Both these ideas
were given be by W. L. George" Miss
Kaye-Smith works quickly and cor
reefs little, but it takes her eight
months to complete story.

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness ore oftentimes

However, since the majority Of
the disc wheels are designed to be
removable for tire changes thew

1t may not be as strong. And 1t

Mechanical points for and against
the disc wheel vary according to
four types in use. The single disc
is the simplest: being the cheapest
to make. the weakest and the least
appealing to the eye. It mas the
appearance of a flat plate with the
rim projecting inward at the felloe.
The dual disc forms an arc viewed
in section and, therefore, offers
stronger construction and far better
appearance. In spite of the fact
that 1t is composed of two discs
instead of one it is not necessarily
heavier since the separate discs can
be made of thinner material. A third
type of disc wheel looks like the
single plate. but upon examination
it is seen to be composed of three

! Another type of disc wheel looks
the same as types one and three,
but the graduation in thickness is
formed Of one piece. In types two,
three and four it will be noted
that the greatest thickness and
strength is found at the hub. This
IS the point where the poorly con.
structed wire wheel is weakest. That

comes OF the huh is proved by the
strength of the wood wheel at tllie
point The wood wheel is still in
the majority and has always proved
satisfactory, though not ideal. II
is natural therefore, that other
types, no matter how radically tlif.
ferent in appearance, should follow
some of its mechanical axioms.
The dual disc would seem to offer
the greatest advantage among the
wheel types. not only because of its
reinforcement feature. but also be-
cause Of its construction so as to
offer a slight give in case of a
road shock. And when it. is con.
