r.ggs contribute a large part to our
daily food. The meat also makes a
gorfd as wel! as nice -lis.!1, any time
it is desired.
Poultry should be property housed."
The front side of the house should
face the south or east as the <110 w
more direct and remains there the
greater part of the day. Plenty ?f
sunlight is. needed, so there should
be la ice windows. 11 lass windows are
.sometimes used and built, in such a
way that they may -he opened or;]
shut. The house should he kept sau-;

and feeding Vessels. The floor:

the chickens to scratch in.

diet consisting of fats, proteins

green foods as cabbage. carrots and

The Family Cow
Fvery family in Watauga C.unity
vim! iim-> jn Hie rural district should
own a good thoroughbred cow. It is
the most important animal that can i
be Kept on the farm, as a food producer
and every family can keep at
least one cow.
Aside from the value of milk and
butter that they produce, they will i
raise at least one call a year. If this
calf is kept '.ill an average of four
months old. it will pay the average
small farmer's taxes, providing the j
calf is of good stock. This is at least
one reason for keeping good stock.
It is just as cheap to raise a thoroughbred
calf as a scrub.
A family that consumes one gallon
of milk per day at 40c per gallon
spends or saves- $146 per year, besides
the butter they wiii use.
Milk is very valuable as a food
and for health. It contains fats and
proteins. The growirio- child is greatly
handicapped without milk.
Before we can have good milk we
must have a good cow and feed her
well. A cow should he fed regularly
and balanced; do nor gorge her oneday
and starve her the next, nor feed
her at M o'clock today and 7 o'clock
tomorrow.
Food can and should be produced

the Spirit dies, the Church expires
A failure to enter heartily into tl
task and trust committed to tl
Church l?y her Lord involves the fo
lYiture of her original charter wil

The Church can now refuse to go
herself to the undertaking to \v>vh

The Gospei He sent His discipl

all nations, that Christ is to win tl
world to Himself?that Chvistiani
is to become the unversa 1 religion humanity.
