Hens Need Good Care
in Summer

The productivity of laying hens in
fall and winter depends a great deal
upon the care and management given
the poultry flock during the latter
part of the summer.
Good egg prices are expected for
the rest of the year, says C. ]. Mau-
pin extension poultryman at State
College, and it will pay the flock
owners to bring their hens into lay
under favorable conditions s.
He recommends that the birds be
given good feeding, a clean range.
plenty Of clean fresh water, and a
clean comfortable house or shelter.
BY keeping the birds healthy and
getting them to put on as much fat
and body weight as they can, they
can be brought into lay with a re-
serve of flesh and energy to meet the
demands of the laying season.
Sexual maturity should be delayed
in order to give the birds a chance to
put on weight before starting to lay.
Do not give early Matched pullets a
feed high in protein. Avoid mouldy or
chaffy feeds, or such material as corn
ground with the cobs.
If the birds fail to grow we'll, ex-
anime them from internal and extern
al parasites, Maupin says. If mites or
lice are found, clean the roosting
quarters and treat the birds at once.
For round worms or tapeworms, give
the pullets reliable worm teatment.
Find a good feed and stick to it,
Maupin recommends, unless there is
good reason for changing. Poultry
men often lose money by switching
from one brand to another.
Remove the old birds from the win
ter quarters. Scrub the floor and the
fixtures and expose everything posi-
bic to the sun; then let the house
stand vacant until we'll dried. Use
disinfectants literally.

AAA Payments Boost N. C.
N. C.. Farm Incomes

Farmers Of Ashe county who are
cooperating in the agricultural adj
justment programs received a total Of
SIS, 663.O5 in rental and benefit pay
ments during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1886.
These payments together with the
increase in prices paid to farmers
for their commodities have been re-
Elected in the larger income being re-
ceived by famers, said Dean I. O.
Schaub, of State College.
From 1882 to 1884, he pointed out,
the total income of North Carolina
trainers increased by approximately
1876 per cent, Or from $104,3 200 to
Spec, 499, 900. he 1888 income was
$194, 1870, 900.
The total AAA payments to farm
ers of the State during the past fiscal
year ran to $14,732,147.51, divided as

Timely Farm Questions Answered
at State College

Timely Farm Questions Answered
at State College
Question: How much. whole corn
should be fed the poultry flock each
day? r.
Answer: During the fall months
the grain ration will consist of so
per cent whole corn and 40 per cent
whole wheat and a flock Of 100 hens
will consume from ten to twelve
pounds of this mixture a day. For
winter feeding the grain ration will
consist of whole corn only with the
same amount being fed daily. The
feeding of one pound in the morning
and the remainder late in the after
noon is a good practice in that it
insures the birds a full crop before
they go to roost and tends toward
higher egg production.
Question: What is the best rate
for seeding alfalfa and when should
the seed be planted?
Answer: At least 25 pounds and
preferably 80 pounds of seed should
be planted to the acre for best re-
suits. A good stand is worth more
than 5 or 10 pounds of seed and it is
therefore important to use few ex-
ira pounds in seeding. Best seeding
dates in the coastal plain and lower
piedmont sections are from Septem-
Der 1 to 80. In the per piedmont
the dates are froln August Is to
September Is. Spring planting is ad-
visable in the higher mountain Sec
tions.
Question: Are mixtures of different
| crops better than single crops TO.
grown white hays?
Answer: More seed are used to tie
acre vince mixtures are planted and
this results in large yields Of hay
Mixtures also have the added advan-
tage in that if one crop fails the 9TH
ers will be left to make a good
growth. Then, too, livestock relish the
hay better on account of the variety
In seeding mixtures, however, it is
important that the varieties of the
different crops mature at the same

NOBODY'S
BUSIN ESS
RehOber Church Has Revived the
Demand for Snake
Bitten Pastor
By Gee MCGEE

Bitten Pastor
deer mr.. editor
our church, rehober, py name, is
in right smat of turmoil again and
the end is not yet. baout Is MEM
bers of our congregation has COM
menced to demand that our pasture,
lev. will waite, let a snake bite him
to prove that he is working with the
right sperrit.
this quest on come up last year
then bro. ckeeter of n. C. hell a
ra,slesrake in the pulpit and made
it bite him on the arm to show that
he did not fear death OR amy kind
of pizen that mought cause him to
pass into the sweet beyond where the
wirri dieth not to return nor more.
one of our leading deacons, mr..
holsum moore, who always keeps
abreast of the times, fl not ahead of
same, says that the snake-biting
question has benn raised in a large
number Of churches, and several
PASTURES have alreddy benn bit and
got well, and he sees no reason why
bro. waite will not go and do like
wise.
bro. waite has agreed to let king
snake bite him, if they will raise his
sallery to 75$ from ASS a month, and
which they rarely ever pay, but he
will not take the risk of no tattle-
snake at the meager pay he is prom
ised, as blood-pizen could set in and
ruin his career for all time to come.
eight or ten nice snakes have benn
ketched by his membes, and will be
on hands next sunday for rev. waite
to choose from. if he do not let one
Of same bite him, it looks like new
pasture will be called at an early
date. he says he would not be so
-afeared of the snakes fl the members
will pull their teeths out befoar let
ting them strike him.
last year when the question was
fresh in everbodly's mind, only few
of the rembers insisted on the snake
test, but now as it is becoming more
popular. they think rehober church is
big enough to have snake-bite pas
Aure, and if our present cucumber
ance refuses to comply, there are
others who will be glad to get his
job. he do not look like he has very
much faith against snake-bit anso-
forth.

Nothing adds such good flavor to
baking as brown sugar, but it will
become lumpy. Ever try keeping the
sugar carton in the breadbox? There
is just enough moisture there to
soften the sugar Jumps.
When about to boil milk in an
enameled saucepan, rinse the pan
first with boiling water. This keeps
the milk from sticking and scorching.
Also use the double boiler, to keep
the milk from direct contact with the
heat and quick scorching.
For attractive tea table sandwiches
have cutters of the same shapes but
different sizes, such as four round
cutters varying from one and one half
inches to two and half inches. Use
the largest for the bottom spread
With bright jelly; place the next
smallest on that and spread with a
contrasting color of Jelly or sandwich
mixture, use the next smaller with
still anothe color, and the smallest on
top. Press together and serve as
features On sandwich tray. Toast
rings may be used the same way;
heart shaped, diamonds and other
figures.
If some of the egg yolk gets into
the white when separating the eggs,

Meringue will not be tough if a
low oven temperature is used in

would stand behind the shadow

A cross-country tour last season,
one that took in many stops on
the gas light circuit, carefully
avoided Washington as a week
stand. Why is this?
In searching about for the rea-
sons which inspire this seeming
indifference to an enthusiastic
Washington public I can only
ascribe it to the fact that Miss
Cornell was permanently ired by
a Lafayette Square dressing room
that was chilly and a stage she
found drafty for her personal
appearances. NotWi thstanding
that L. Stoddard Taylor requisi-
toned electric and gas stoves for
extra heat the star complained.
