Profitable for Farmers
to Begin Raising Colts

That the time has arrived when the
farmer will find it profitable to begin
raising the colts which will be needed
soon to replace the old horses on his
farm, and that should he raise few
more than he needs Of the good de-
pendable draft type, they will be
readily salable at profitable price
by the time they reach salable age.

w. H. Peters, chief of the division Of
animal husbandry. University Of Min
nesota, in Special Bulletin No. so, en-
titled, 'sThe Colt as Profitable Farm
Product and issued by the agricul-
,tural extension service. Mr.. Peters

will start definitely upward. Old
horses are dying off much more rapidly
than colts are coming on to take their
places, he says. In this new bulletin

Winter Water Supply Is
Important for Poultry

The modern hen eats balanced dry
mash for egg production, but it takes
water to wash down that mash. SO It
pays to keep galvanized pail of fresh
water near the mash hopper. If the
pail is placed in small wooden store
box just little wider than the diam
eter Of the pail, 1t will not be tipped
over, when the hens jump up on the
side.
If iron pals are used for winter
drinking fountains you have aArecep-
tacle that is easy to scour and clean.
A little boiling water and few corn
cobs will soon scrub the scum from
the drinking pals and make the water
more healthful and appetizing. Hens
relish clean water and drink more Of
1t when the fresh supply arrives. The
use of clean pals is great help In
keeping down the spread of respiratory
diseases.

Raising Dairy Heifers
Most Economical Scheme

In view of the fact that At is be-
coming more difficult each Oh -sieaa; to Sc
cure the right kind of dairy stock the
most economical way for farmers ",
build up a good herd is to raise the
heifers from the best cows, being care
full to have the calves sired by pure
bred dairy bull, according to the Ken
lucky College of Agriculture. The
problem of feeding may be considered
from two standpoints; first. when
whole milk is sold from the.farm and
skim milk is therefore not available !;
and second, when cream is sold and
skim milk is available for feeding to
the young animals.
Three plans may be followed by the
farmer who has a market for whole
milk. The first is to give the calves a
good start on whole milk and at the
end of two, months put them on a hay
and grain ration. The second plan is
to give the calves whole milk for two
weeks and then change to a ration Of
calf Cruel or milk substitute; the third
is to give the calves the least amount
Of milk required to promote normal
growth.

Spring Planting
to Avoid FrostS'
Dates Given by Weather
Bureau on Which Crops
Can Be Saved.

prepared by the United States, Department
Of Agriculture.)
Ordinary spring crops can largely be
saved from frost damage by postponing
planting until the frost risk becomes
small. Information as to average
dates Of the last killing frost in any
locality may be obtained from any Of
fee Of the weather bureau Of the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture.
Early cabbage, radishes, onions, early
peas and potatoes, and turnips may be
planted about two weeks before the
average date OF, last killing frost.
Beets, carrots, lettuce, spinach, cauli-
flower, celery and sweet corn should
be planted about the last frost date.
Two weeks after that date, snap beans,
okra and tomato plants may be put
out, but 1t is usually better not to
plant lima beans. pepper and egg
plants, cucumbers, melons and sweet
potatoes until the ground is well
warmed up, after another two weeks.
Frost In South.
There are some years in which kill
ing frost does not occur at all in the
southern portion of the Florida PENN
sula, and also along the west Gulf
coast 1t does not often occur after
March / In northern Florida, southern
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana,
and south Of Austin, Tex. The line
based on March Is, as an average for
the last killing frost has receded north
ward to south-central Georgia, to the
latitude Of Montgomery, Ala. south
central Mississippi, central Louisiana
and central Texas. Two weeks later it
has advanced to central North Caro-
lima, north-central Arkansas and CEN
trail Oklahoma.
Average Date in North.
BY the middle Of April killing frost
does not occur in half the years south
of east-central Maryland, north-central
Virginia, northern, Kentucky, extreme
southern Illinois, rorth-central Missou-
ri and southeastern Kansas 1t may
be expected during about half the
years as late as May in central Ohio,
north central Indiana, extreme north
ern Illinois, central Iowa and south
eastern Nebraska. The average data
In the central portions of the lower
peninsula of Michigan, central Wiscon-
sin, north-central Minnesota and most
of the more northern portion of South
Dakota is as late as May Is, while in
few localities in extreme northern
Michigan and Minnesota it may be ex-
pected in slightly more than half the
years as late 9s June 1.

Cause Of Root Knot

riculture, and attention should be d.
rected to the continued spread Of this
disease In order that effective meas
ures may be adopted for its control.
Root knot is the. cause of serious dam
age to many crops. The extent Of the
damage is difficult to estimate, since
1t Is both direct and indirect and In
many cases is overlooked entirely. The
direct damage is that caused to the
growing crops. The indirect damage
results from the fact that the pres
ence of the disease makes it imprac-.
ticable to grow certain crops which
are particularly susceptible to injury.
The disease is fully discussed in a
new bulletin issued by the United
States Department Of Agriculture as
Farmers Bulletin 1916. Control meth
DDS suggested vary under different
/, conditions. Some crops are resistant
to the disease and these may be used
on infested soil. The disease may be
eliminated in green houses and seed
beds by the application Of steam I'M.
der high pressure or by the introduce
ton Of uninfested soil into clean
whitewashed benches. The home veg

REV. WILLIAM MALTBIE WYNN

Rev. William Maltbie Vim was
born in Gwinnett, County, Ga, son
of Major R. d. and Mrs. Charlotte
(nee MitchelD Vim, June 18th, 1847
and passed suddenly into the skies
from Decatur, Ga, November Is. 1924
leaving memory that is like the ra-
dance that glows along the pathway
of the setting sun.
He was converted and joined the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South in
Lawrenceville, Ga in 1866. He says:
Mothers prayers and gratitude to
God for sparing me through the war
just ended, in which | was slightly
wounded, were causes for my action"
His schooling was secured in the
schools OF Lawrenceville, Jefferson,
and in the Georgia Military Institute
at Marietta, Ga, in Summerfield. Ala,
and at the Southern University To-
Gated at Greensboro, Ala.
Throughout his life, Brother Winn
was deeply interested and did much
work in Freemasonry, being admitted
in 1868 and taking the l4th degree in
1900. He was three times elected
Thrice lllustrious Master of the
Council"
Brother Vim was happily married
on December the 10th, 1870 by Rev. A.
H. Mitchell, d. D., in Bib County,
Ala, to Miss Fannie NJ Starr, daugh-
ter of Rev. John w. Starr, who was
originally of the Georgia Conference,
then of the Alabama Conference. OF
this union were born five children,
Ada, Leila, Corinne, E. Starr and Will
Ham Achelus.
Here again we see prepared man
coming forth out of the prepared home
| We cannot too often impress upon our
selves that as the home is, so is the
child. Through breedingl Christian
nurture and the culture of the schools,
William M. VIM was high spirited
Christian and a gentleman of the fin
est traditions of the old South. Excel
lent human that he was by birth and
breeding, he was also by the dispen-
sation of the Spirit, that best gift Of
God to people, true prophet. Now
such a prophet has his own peculiar
excellence and in his instance it was
expressed in fundamental probity anC
high moral courage, which was ev.
ident to all men.
The gentler graces were added tc
this, making one marvel as at the
blooming of violets on granite boul
der. He excelled in spirituality, being
gifted in an unusual degree with the
power of meditation, so that he always
left his charges upon loftier plane
than he found them. Not stressing fl
nances, he generally made an advance
on previous records in this phase Of
his work and no one loved the church
more than he or was more loyal to it
His one regret was that he had done
so little to use his own humble ex-
preston. But we who knew him know
that few have completely fulfilled their
ministry as did this good man who
walked with his God
