Poultry Pointers For July

l. Gull out and sell, can or store,
hens that 60 out of production this
month. Early molters are unprofit-
able.
2. Gather eggs several times each
day. Keep them in a clean, cool
place.
8. Market eggs regularly and Of
ten. Do not keep eggs on hand more
than a few days. Holding eggs in the
summer months adds to low quality.
A. Keep plenty of clean straw, sha-
wings, or other litter in the nests.
Thus prevent broken cracked and
provide a maximum of cross venti-
dirty eggs.
S. Open up the laying house to
lation during the hot summer mon
tbs.
6. Practice rigid sanitation.
7. Check birds for lice and treat if
necessary. Lice reduces egg profits.
8. Check crack and crevices on
rosts, for mites. Treat roosts to
kill mites.
9. Provide ample clean, fresh wa
ter each day. Hens need a great
amount of water. p
10. Continue to feed a balanced
ration.
II. Provide ample green feed, if
at all possible.
IL. Be careful about too much
grain this summer. Don't get the
hens too fat.
10. Provide ample shade about
poultry yards and on the range.
IA. Vaccinate young stock against
fowl pox if they have not already
been vaccinated and if the disease
has previously been on the premises.
Between 8 and IL weeks of age is
the best time to vaccinate chickens.
IS. Continue to Gull weak pullets
and cockerels; they should not 60

16. Careful attention to all details
is essential to good poultry manage
ment.

GOSPEL TALKS
By Rev. r. C. Valentine
GROWTH IN GRACE

"But grow in grace, and in the
knowledge of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. To him be glory both
now and for ever. Amen" p Pet.3:l8
When one plants a tree. he seeks
fertile soil in which to plant it. He
looks carefully to the preparing OF
the ground and the car of the tree.
Why does one thus plant a tree?
That it may remain a tender sapl1ng
or a stunted ~deformity? No, rather
that it may grow stronger year by
year and bear fruit.
So it is the intention of God, and
the duty of Christians that there
should be spiritual growth. Having
experienced the grace of Christ In
salvation from sin, the Christian
must grow in his experience of that
grace. He must develop in Christian
graces. He must die more and more
unto sin and live unto righteousness.
"Recken We also yourselves to be
dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto
God through Jesus Christ u Lord"
Rom. GIL This is the process OF
growth that Gods Spirit carries on
in the Christians heart.
This growth in grace is to be &C
companied by growth in the know
ledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. "This Is life eternal, that
they might know Christ as his saw
ior, he is anxious to know Him bet
ter and to love Him more. As with
any friendship, the way to know
Christ is to spend much time with
Him.
The means of growth in grace are
available to all. The plant needs
soil. air. water, light and culture in
order to grow. The Christian needs
to study the word of God, to attend

ID DIP FOR DOGS

dog is an effective protection again.
st ticks and fleas.
It is easier to cover a dog throu-
ghly with DOT by dipping than by
busting with powder, although dus-
ting with a 10 percent DOT powder
may be used if you prefer. For
Fido's bath, buy wettable DOT
powder, and use in water according
to directions on the package.
If properly applied, DOT is harm
less to dogs and gives them comfort
and the family safety against ticks
and fleas.
But,don't ever use DOT on the
fomilY cat. Cats are much less tole-
rant to this poison than dogs. Their
habit of licking their fur allows
them to take enough DOT to make
them sick and maybe kill them.
DOT and derris has proved equal
ly effective against ticks and fleas.
Derris, however, may be used on
either cats or dogs because it is en-
tirely harmless to any animal.

To The Milk Producers and Milk
Consumers of Lexington and vicini-

The Mayor and Board of Alder
men of Lexington and the Holmes
County Health Department have
long been intensely interested in Sc
curing a safe wholesome milk supply
for the people. Several attempts
have been made, with some success,
but the need has become SO evident
and urgent that an ordinance was
passed July 1, 1947 requiring that
all milk sold in Lexington be Grade
A pasteurized.
This complete ordinance can be
found on page two of this issue
1t is the sincere desire of both the
Board of Aldermen and the Holmes
County Health Department to pro-
tect as far as is expedient, but safety
must come first.
This ordinance does not go into
effect for sixty days from date of
passage, (July /, 1947.) This is in
order that all producers who are in
! ~terested may have ample time in
which to qualify.
It is hoped that during this interim
Lexington will have its own pasteu-
rizing plant and will no longer have
to depend on outside plants.
The achievement of this long
sought after goal is gratifying to all
of us who have been striving to-
ward that need for the pastfew years
and we feel this is a great step for
ward in lettering conditions affect
ing the health of u citizens.

CURRENT COMMENT
By Henry Willis

The Sweetest Notes in Nature
comes from the threats Of birds
Right now a Bob White" call floats
in from yer beyond the jail. The
only sweeter note than the COCK
Ouaips is that of his mate In the
early fall when she calls to the you
ng ones after day-breaks and they
answer. The low calls back and
forth have in them all the world OF
love and happiness. Bob White Is a
gallant little fellow with a high
heart and strong sense of duty. He
guards the nest. takes his turns on
the eggs while his mate feeds, helps
carry the brood, will fight anything
in their defense. II the mother bird
is killed the cock will hatch the eggs
and carry the brood alone. II a you
ng brood is surprised by danger
the parent birds win feign broken
wings and toll the danger away from
the young while the little fellows
will 'freeze" and be invisible though
you have seen them an instant be-
fore. The time of greatest danger
Il after they hatch and before they
can fly. Hunting cats. dogs on the
prowl, cotton rats. hawks, fox, sna-
kes, wetness or droughth, take ter
rible toll Of the little ones. Almost
as soon as they can fly. thoughtless
and lawless men with guns and
number 10 shot 60 out and kill poe
kets full to eat. Their excuse is;
"those little ones taste so good.
So smart and brave are the gallant
little birds that in spite Of all the
dangers that best them their cheer
full calls may still be heard even
right in town.

Hoover's Son 0usted
from Brazilian Hotel
Suite for Mrs. Peron
BY Foreign Correspondent of The Star ono
the Chicago Dolly News

BY q Foreign Correspondent Of The star and
the Chicago Daily News
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 8.-Her-
bert Hoover, jr., special petroleum
adviser to the Brazilian government,
Is moving out of the Copacabana
Palace Hotels No. 2 royal suite
across the hall from the quarters
OF ex-King Carol and Nine. Lupescu.
The son of the former President
of the United States was asked by
the Brazilian government if he
would be so kind as to move down a
few notches to make room for Mrs.
Eva Peron, globe-trotting wife of
President Juan Domingo Peron of
Argentina.
It was most embarrassing. Mr..
Hoover was moved in with flourish
when he arrived here recently as
guest Of the government. The hotel
management declined to ask him to
move, so Brazil's foreign Office ap-
preached him on the matter.
Plans Changed.
Evita, as the first lady of Argen-
tina is called, was supposed to stay
at the ancient palace of Laranjeria
but she put her foot down. She said
the old government palace was not to
her liking and that she wanted to be
put up at the Copacabana, which Is
the center Of Rios social and night
life.
Since there are only two royal
suites, Mr.. Hoover was elected.
The Brazilian Foreign Office Is
having other difficulties, too, in ar
ranging for Evita's visit. She has
delayed leaving Europe so as to
arrive here in the middle of the
conference of foreign ministers.
Argentine officials say she wants to
spend considerable time at the
Quitandinha Hotel, at the nearby
resort of Petropolis, where the
ministers will be meeting.
May See Truman.
Argentina's first lady, diplomats
Of that country say, will remain in
the Brazilian capital long enough to
see President Truman when he ar
rives around the first of September
They have let it be known that she
expects to meet and talk with him.
That, In itself, is causing other
complications for her schedule
makers, who are trying to plan a
sightseeing tour for her.
Evita, Brazilian officials are be-
ginning to realize, plans to cut a
swath at the hemisphere defense
conference. How to work her into
the program of the meeting grace
fully is their biggest problem.
