Grits and Gravel
(By T. MOSES JONES.

Someone pulled a real mean trick
on me not long ago. They told of
that arithmetical problem about
man buying sheep at fifty cents each,
hogs at three dollars each, and cows
at ten dollars each. The idea is to
figure it out so the answer will be
an even hundred of the various ami
mails to come out an even hundred
dollars. After 1 had worked and fig
ured for an hour or more, I was fin
ally told that it could not be did.
1 wonder if anyone in Vance Coun-
ty raised peafowls. When I was a
little boy, a long, long time ago, I
went to a place where they raised
those beautiful birds. The man gave
me three of the feathers which 1 took
home and put behind picture frame
in our dining room where they re-
manned for years, until the moths de-
stroyed them.
If 1 ever have a country estate,
want to raise them, and also white
guineas. Have any of you ever seen
white guineas with pink eyes? I have
only seen some of them one time, and
they really are pretty birds. And
someone will soon be telling me
that guinea is not a bird.
1 would like to know if any of you
Vance boys or girls have any white
rats. No, am almost sure the. girls
haven't any, but white rats are also
pretty animals.
Pigeons are pretty pets. Moses, Jr,
had pair of white pigeons that one
of the neighbors gave him when he
was just several years old. They lived

3 Some things to be done during this
month:
l. The following plants should be
pruned now if they have finished
Towering and if they are in need of
it: barberry, kerria, Japanese ounce

enbell, vicurnum, chokeberry, shad
blow, sweetshrub.
2. If an attempt is made to water
the newly sown lawn it should be
we'll soaked once or twice week late

stimulate shallow root growth and
makes the plant less drought resis-
tant.
3. a. Keep your flower garden and
small shrubs worked just as you do
your vegetable garden. Do not allow
grass or weeds to grow up around
the shrubs.
b. Keep woods mold or some form
of mulching around azalea and rho
dodendron TO keep down grass; do

use fine busting sulphur on them in
the morning while the dew is on. or
spray them with Bordeaux Mixture.

are covered.
5. When you have finished with
your farm tools, remember to keep
them stored out of sight and not scat
tered over the yard.

seed from your garden. Allow them
to dry for about two weeks and then
plant to have new plants for next year
7. German Iris may be divided and
transplanted now. Cut back foliage to
to inches of roots
g. Pick off all dead blooms from
flowers and shrubs.

for propagating soft wood cuttings.
