the sum of feminine happiness than
anything else in the world. 1t would
also be an inestimable blessing to
men, because it would insure to ev.

Portable home.
The woman who has had to take
what she could get in the husband
line, not what she desired, is al
ways a critical and dissatisfied wife
and one who makes no effort to
please.
Only an idiotIc, moss-bound con-
vention keeps women from asking
the men they love to marry them,
and it is folly for the modern. up-to-
date woman to be bound by this an
cient myth. Sooner or later it will
be just as much a commonplace for
woman to pop the question as 1t
is for her to vote.
Remember that there are 100000
more men IN the United States than
women. The hunting Is fine!

You notice that I specified a fat
hen to be the one to set. 1 mean
by that to emphasize the fact that
a hen of low vitality has not the
bodily heat to keep the eggs as
warm as they should be. Feed the
setting hens on corn, plenty of it,
and give them clean water to drink.

under her. At the end of two
weeks dust her again, for some lice
may have Matched, and the last

for she may be almost tired of her

The first thing 1 do after the chicks
hatch and are ready to be taken
off, is to pat a little vaseline on the
top Of each head, and rub it light

into the little body. The hen should
also be creased with the vaseline.

grits, and egg bread that is at least

Building From Farm Turnover
Accounts

J. H. F., Lincoln, Neb,,
writes: I have read that the
new womans building at the
State College of Agriculture was
built out of the proceeds of the
dairy herd. I would like to learn
more about this, and how this
was accomplished.
The story Of our college farm here
at Athens reads somewhat like a
romance. Ours is one of the few
institutions which came into the pos"
session Of WORKOUT and virtually
abandoned cotton plantation and has
had an opportunity to keep a record
of what has been accomplished from
the foundation Of the institution.
The Georgia State College of Ag-
riculture began operations on it's
present basis in the fall of 1907. In
the sixteen years which have elaps.
ed, the gross receipts from this
farm have aggregated something
over $4,000 Approximately $780,.
600 of this income has been deriv-
ed from the. sale of dairy products.
The value of the live stock sales
has amounted to S,439.67. The
live stock and dairy sales, therefore,
gross re eipts, and cotton and cot
ton seed for only about $4,000. You
may ask how we explain the ap-
parent discrepancy in the figures as
presented above. This is due en-.
tirely to the fact that certain mis-.
cellaneous receipts enter into the
gross sales. In the very heart Of
the cotton belt, therefore, a worn
out plantation has been converted
In sixteen years into profitable
live stock and dairy farm. The ami
mails sold from this farm have had
an appreciate influence on the adj.
vancement of the live stock interests
of our state, which, as you doubtless
know, have grown amazingly in the
past few years.
In fifteen out Of the sixteen years
in which our farm has been operat.
ed, it has shown a profit, and suffi-
Client money has been accumulated
through our turnover accounts to
construct the building to which you
refer. We hardly think any other
college shas accomplished anything
more striking than this through the
agency of it's farm.

know that during the period i'm
discussion, we have spent
96ut SIC, 1860 for the purchase of
2 purebred live stock. The value of
our live stock on June /, 1923, was
$40, 403. The sales from the same as
already indicated totaled $3S,439. 81.
The value of the live stock with
which we began operations was ST.
917. The net increase in value plus
sales above expenditures for pur-
chasing live stock has, therefore,
amounted in the period of sixteen
years to $39,579.12. Our herd of

this period OF purebred Jerseys and

dairy business with from 20 TO
80 COWS. I have 100 acres Of
land 80 of which Is in peach

ance to the upkeep Of the
cows. I want to get a good
pasture started for summer and
winter grazing. L have a good
stand of alfalfa started on four
acres, and also have. some burr
clover. l also want to know
what you think of silage?
Twenty to thirty cows constitute
a very good unit around which to
build a dairy enterprise. It is, of
course, desirable that you increase
your grazing area, and 1 congratu-
late you on the fact that you have
established good piece of alfalfa
to begin with. We have found this
one Of the most desirable feeds to
use with our COWS. We can cut it
from four to six times a year, de-
pending on seasonal conditions, ana
1t has made an average outturn OF
hay of better than five tons PEI
acre during all the year we have
been growing it on the college
farm. Bur clover furnishes grazing
for part of the year. If you can
grow it successfully in combination
with Bermuda, it will constitute as
nearly an all around pasture as you
ca nhope to have. Where the lands
are sandy enough to permit them
of being grazed to a considerable
extent in the winter, oats or rye
planted carly in the fail will fur
nish a con- 'derable amount of graz
ing. Both of these crops do we'll

hairy Vetch.
Silage constitutes the best known
substitute for grass. 1t will also
furnish you a succulent feed at a
lower cost than you can obtain it in
any other form. We would not IN
dertake to establish a dairy enter
prise with the hope Of maintaining

could have an abundance of silage.

ing it for more than eight months.
The best crops to use for silage are
white kaffir corn and red head
or sumac sorghum. Plant these
crops In alternate rows. The sor.
ghum contains more moisture than
the kaffir corn. Neither one of
these crops should be cut for silage
until they are practically mature.
they are both good drought resist
ers, and, it is for this reason we
recommend them rather than corn.
Such corn as you may grow on your
land may be used as a concentrate.
The dry stalks can be shredded and
used as a source of roughage dur

which is still denied her and Whlch
she has yet to gain, of popping the
question. Political emancipation Is
nothing to emancipation from the
superstition that makes a woman
passive agent in deciding her fate.
The ability to walk up to the polls
and cast vote is a trifle to the
privilege of being able to walk up
to a man and ask him to marry you,
if you happen to fancy him.
OF course, there is no law against
a. woman assuming the role or Wooer
and proposing matrimony to man,
but custom and conventions fofbld
her and they are a greater 1nhlbltlon
than any law can be. or course, as
Mr.. Bernard Shaw says, women 90
lay traps and snares for men and
inveigle them into matrimony. ALSO
it is true that the polite fiction that
a woman never thinks of a man In
sentimental way until he falls in love
with her is utterly and entirely false.
1t is true that a woman generally
sees a man before he sees her.
But as the matter now stands, she
has to get in her work in subtle
and underhand ways without rous'
ing the suspicion of the man. She
has to turn the trick in the dark,
and this is a difficult thing to do,
and puts her at tremendous dis
advantage.
More than that, 1t Is repugnant

We are so accustomed to the spec

come along and drop the handller-
chief before them. that we have
lost sight Of the cruel wrong they
suffer in not being permitted to
seek the men they desire as their
life partners. But pause and consid-
err it moment. Here are a brother
and sister. Fine, intelligent, good
looking young people. Both desire to

their own.
The brother goes forth and finds
the girl Of his ideal and starts in
on a whlrlwind campaign to win her.
The sister also goes forth and she
finds a man who meets every re-

just the man she wants for a hus-

all her soul.
Custom, however, does not sane
