I
IF
If I had invested the money
I had in real estate in and
around North Wilkesboro when
I left here 22 years ago I would
have bene flying with the Eag
les of North Wilkesboro instead
of bumping along on the
ground.
Moral: IF a frog had wings he
wouldn’t be bumping himself
along on the ground.
ANOTHER MORAL: Invest
now in real estate and be an
eagle soon.
IF I know values, I have some
real bargains.

Questions
QUESTION—
Question; What proportions of
minerals should be added to the
ration of laying hens?
Answer: The usual mineral
feeds are hone meal, oyster shell
or ground limestone, salt, and
grit. Of these, the oyster shell or
ground limestone and grit are
kept before the birds at all times.
The oyster shell supplies calcium
while the grit is an aid In grind
ing the feed. The other minerals
ire added to the ^ laying , mash.
Jne per cent" of steamed i hone
meal is added to the mash as a
source of calcium and phosphor
ous. The salt Is added at the^
rate of one pound to each 100
pounds ot mash and Is used as a
source of sodium and chlorine.
