All of the Tinies laughed in glee. It was a funny sight to see fair Dotty putting whiskers on the mon- strous snowtnan's chin.
 "Oh, make them stay in place, somehow" said Coppy. "He looks betetr now. I'll met they tickle. It is strange they have not made him grin"
 "Oh, don't be silly" Duncy said. 'There's no life in the snowman's head. I only wish there was. Then we could tack him for walk.
 Imagine how he'd stumble and, most likely on his face he'd land. The strangest thing of all, though, would be if the man should talk"
 
 Just then the little Eskimo in Duncy's ear whispered, Let's go and find my little sled. I have a clever plan in mind.
 "'Twill work, I'm sure, quite cas- lily, if you are game to stick with me. Don't tell the other Tinies. Come, we'll leave the bunch be- hind"
 Away they went, without a sound. The other youngsters still

played round the funny-looklnM snowman, and they didn't miss tho two.
 The sled was reached, not fan away. Then Duncy heard his play- mate say, "Just climb aboard and I will tell you what I'm going tQ do.
 "Now, first, will sit up in front. so I can carry out my stunt. Tn just about Q moment, we'll be slid@ ing down this hill.
 'T'll steer the sled right, if I cam and crash into the big snowman4 Unless am mistaken, it will give the bunch . thrill"
 The next thing that wee DuncN knew right down the hill th& small sled flew. Both of the ridere hung on tight, quite excited pair
 "Oh," Duncy shouted, this sound rash" And then there came a student crash. Then smacked int0 the snowman, and his head flew into air.

TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
ANSWERED AT COLLEGE

Question: Is it safe to feed silage
to dairy calves?
Answer: Silage should not be fed
to young calves, but small amount
may be included in the ration when
the calves are from three to four
months of age. About two pounds a
day is sufficient at first as Silage is
laxative and too much will cause
scours. This amount may be gradu-
ally increased as the calves grow
older. Only good, well cured silage
should be used as any sour or
moulded feed will cause indigestion
and retard growth.
Question: What can substitute for
green feed in the poultry ration?
Answer: A good grade OF cod liver
oil that has been biologically tested
for potency and vitamin content
may be substituted in part for green
feed. One pound or one pint should
be added to each 100 pounds OF
mash when the substitution is made
or it may be fed on the grain instead
of mixing with the mash when more
convenient. Where possible, how
ever, some cured alfalfa hay, lespe-
deza, or clover hay that retains the
green color should be provided for
the vitamin content and laxative eff
fects.

TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
ANSWERED AT COLLEGE

Question: How long should I wait
after vaccinating hogs for cholera
before killing them for the home
meat supply?
Answer: Where the animals have
shown no reaction such as fever and
other disorders from the treatment,
they may be killed two weeks a1ter
vaccination is completed. The meat
will then cure out well with no after
effects from the vaccination. How
ever. if the animals have had any
fever or have shown signs of ner-
vous disorders, it will be best to wait
until the trouble has disappeared be-
fore killing them.
Question: What is a good winter
grain ration for my Jersey cows?
Answer: This, of course, depends
upon the amount of milk produced
and the quality of the hay fed. I'm
ordinary conditions each cow should
receive six-tenths of one pound OF
grain for each pound OF milk pro
duced in excess of ten pounds. ms
means that cow giving 20 pounds
of milk would receive six pounds OF
grain a day. This feeding is based on
the supposition that the cow is get
ting about three pounds of silage for
, each 100 pounds of weight and all
the legume hay she will eat. Where
the hay is of poor quality, more
grain will be required.
Question: How long will it be aft
err the males are placed in the flock
before Matching eggs may be select
ed?
Answer: Research work has indi-
Gated that an egg is fertile within
20 hours after the male is introduced
in the flock, but this is the extreme
case and impractical from the breed
ers standpoint. For general farm
conditions it is best to wait until the
fifth day after mating before select
ing eggs for Matching. This is especl-
aliy true where the male has been
used more than one year.

FARMS AND GARDENS

Successful wintering epends
largely on the condition of the colo
mics as they enter the winter, said
C. L. Sans, State College extension
apiarist.
The colonies should have good
queens, a large number of bees, and
abundant stores of honey.
If good queens are introduced to
the colonies in time to start laying
six to eight weeks before the first
killing frost, and if the hives have
plenty of honey, there will be a
strong bee population at the start OF
the honey flow next spring, Sans
continued.
When he honey is taken from the
hives for the last time in the fall,
care should be exercised not to take
too much.
Single story colonies should have
the combs three-fourths full of hon
ey, and two-story colonies should
have the food chambers filled COM
pletely.
In case the bees run short of their
natural food, feed them a syrup
made up of two parts graduated sug-
ar to one part of water.
Each colony should be fed enough
to bring the food stores up to 40
or SO pounds, Sans pointed out.

SOIL EROSION COSTLY
TO CAROLINA FARMERS

It is costing North Carolina farm
ers $50, OO0,000 year to let their
soil wash away.
That is the estimated annual de-
probation due to erosion and the
resultant loss of fertility, outlying of
fields, and sitting of sreams and
reservoirs, said DR.. r. Y. Winters,
director of the N. c. Agricultural
Experiment Station.
This has led to reduced crop
yields, abandonment of many fields,
and an increase in flood hazard and
susceptibility to drought, he contin-
ued.
The Soil Erosion Service, the
State College extension service, and
the experiment station are working
to remedy this situation, he stated,
but they are handicapped by lack
of information about various condi-
tons over the State.
In seeking information that may
be used in developing adequate pro-
grams for conserving and building
up the soil, the experiment station is
cooperating with the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture in making sur
Nyeys and mapping soil conditions of
The State.
The experiment station has been
classifying and evaluating soils,
studying factors that cause erosion,
and determining what uses various
lands are suited for.
But to date only the surface has
been scratched, DR.. Winters declar-
ed. A great deal of work lies ahead.
On many farms terracing is not
adequate, he continued, and many
are too small to permit drastic
changes in the cropping system. Yet
some adequate means of controlling
erosion must be developed and put
into practice.
One of the main things, DR.. Win
tiers pointed out, is to grow more
soil conserving and building crops
that will not only hold the soil IN
place when it rains, but which will
also add more organic matter to the
soil.
