AMPLE CARE URGED

STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS
TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
Question: What is «ie beet
grain rrfi.ion for my poultry dur
ing the summer ]ao»thsT
Answer: There are several
grains or combinations of grains
that give satisfactory results, but
tfle ration should be lAgely
governed by what is grown ,n
the farm. The ration most com
monly used contains sixty per
cent yellow corn and forty per
cent wheat. ISither heavy barley
(48 pounds per bushel) or heavy
ottts (38 pounds per bushel) may
be substiti^ed for pat of the
com and wheat in the ration;
but, where com and wheat are
available, no substitotion should
be mdde. ^ ■
Question: How should I pre
pare pasture land for seeding?
Answer: The ideal aeed bed
for pastures is one that is
thoroughly plverized to a depth
of about ..three inches and left
undisturbed below that deptii.
If Uoy plowing is necessary, this
should have been done it~fnst
six to eight weeks before sow
ing the seed. Land that has
been in row crops may be pre
pared by discing ^nd harrowing,
but Idnd that has been idle may
have to be plowed lightly before

Question: How can I cure a
cafe of indigestion or diarrhea?
Answer: This indigestion or
common scours is ususlly caused
by improper feeding, such as
overfeeding, or the use of dirty
pails or boxes, irregulJr feedu^
or feeding milk ' too rich in fat.
It is much easier to prevent the
trouble than to cure it. Check
your practices, as mentioned,
and then isolate the calf and re
duce the milk feed tit least one

NEW YORiK — Secretary of

Rooaevelt, were u^ed by the

prior to October, 1913, when
official registrations began in
North Carolina on a state wide
bcisis.
Dr. Stimpson pointed put that,
due to the fact that manufac
turers and business concerns en
gaged in filling government
orders are requiring birtii certi
ficates of employees as proof of
citixenship, it has been necessary
for applicants to make trips to
Raleigh from points as far dis
tant as Baltimore, Philadelphia^
and even Detroit, to get their
birth records straight, so as to
receive certified certificates,
which the State Board of HeaHh
, provides for a nominal fee of
fifty cents each. No charge,
however, is made for registering
births.
Certificates also may be re
quired for other purposes, includ
ed out blanks for that particular
purpose which can be j gtate^ent
only from the Vital Statistics
Division of the Sta-t Beoard of
Health in Raleigh.
“I feel it my duty,” Dr. Rey-
