The best possible care and feed for the young lambs on our farm is given through their mothers, and to this e n i in to have the ewes in the mest possible condition up t lC, weaning time. By this. 1 do Wvnn f.lt , In goo.) tlesh Strong and hearty for tlieir r,t,n at every feoiling time. t My jrlnbs are fed no grain until Jiey are three mid a half to four months old, when they are weiinoil. They will tie fed sullieienl amount of grain next fall and winter to keep them in good condition and thrifty, shorn early mid turned to grass and sold the first of Juno, when they will bo aliout fourteen mouths old. They will still bo lambs, as they will lint have shed their laiuh teeth, will bring lamb prices and will have made the greater part of their flesh n grass. 1 do tint consider it lis profitable to raise sheep for wool ;is for unit ton. but the two are so closely connected that tin J- can loudly be considered separately. It Is possible to grow n good, heavy fleece on a loulton en miss, and the sheep willi which this can lie done is altogether the HIoni desirable sheep for the average farmer fn raise. It Is a poor Individual that will not grow wool enough to pay for its keep ing, leaving the milium as prolii, and with a good. big. heavy-shearing sheep. It Is possible, to realize n profit on tlio wool, uuikii.g In Itils viy the two sour, i s of 'p'' f't While the expense of maintaining n Hook of sheep is hardly noticeable, the addition to the income from a few lambs anil the animal fleeces is very welcome. The sheep miser who puts his de pendence in the best breeds nnd goes abend t produce as valuable a mut ton enreass and ns good a fleece of wool as is possible, is pretty sure to come out all right. The "poison" bogy frightens some, but properly prepared poisonous dips are perfectly safe, if the ordinary care REDUCE ACREAGE OF COTTON, Not Practicable to Economically Main tain Soil Fertility and Grow but One Crop a Year. . "-, , Our agricultural advisers as well as our farmers seem to have com pletely lost sight of the true reason for diversification and live stock pro duction. To produce the food and feed supplies of the farm is an economic necessity which .to one seems to doubt ; but this Is not enough to build up or maintain a sound agricultural system, because it is not enough to Imiid up and maintain soil fertility. I'ntil we begin teaching diversifi cation as a necessity for economical s'il building we shall make little progress toward a sound agriculture. It is not practicable to economically maintain soil fertility and grow one crop a year on the land and make the crops cotton and food and feed crops like corn, oats, wheat, potatoes, etc. We must reduce the cotton aei, ago because of the necessity for growing legume; soil-improving crops, and because more cotton can be pro duced on less land when this is done. Progressive Fanner. PROFIT IN FEW BABY BEEVES In Addition to Pasture a Silo Will Be Needed Some Hay and Grain Should Be Available. Every farmer who has pasture land could raise a few baby beeves profit ably without great expense. In addi tion to the pasture a silo will be need ed nnd a silage crop. It may be ad visable In addition to plant soiling crops to supplement the silage and pas ture. Some hay should be available and enough grain to finish the calves for mncket. WITH SHEEP FLOCK ::tisrM m&&3 Yearling Rams. ' dl'er'1 V--"rh- of r'urso- Includes rigid . ' "'..wicc to spwilie directions framed .o ensure safety and etllcieney. In order that it may lie lasting as well ns olliok'iit, it seems almost nec essary that a lii 'iollld bo poisonous, and such a dip I y remaining In the fleece, will, if employed in 1 lie early part of the coi,.Vr Immunity from the "lly" :,:i: k to a very great extent, as well a: ; . wont the develop ment of the larvae. Carbolic dips and other preparations of coal tar, although quite equal to killing any vermin which the sheep may harbor, are certainly very eva nescent and their odor, on which th y depend for deterring the "lly," is quickly dissipated. As they arc uonpoisonous and do not remain long in the wool, they di not poison th maggots. Sprinkling is very much akin to dipping, the same solution being used. It is practiced when it Is not conven ient to dip each sheep separately and secures tin' saturation of the lleece at pans most likely to bo "struck." The removal of dirty locks of wool and ih" trimming of the soiled parts is imperative. These precautions, however, will not always stillieo. for the yoke of the wool will prove siillicicnt attraction unless poisoned or rendered distasteful to the lly nnd the pest will sometimes strike, especially on hot days, ami when then; is "ihuTi'ler in ifie u)T. Powdering the fieofe used to be tin. favorite method of prevention, hu dip plug or sprinkling with a lluid prepara tion has largely superseded it ns be ing more economical, as well as more ellicletit. Fly Mders consist for the most part of mixtures of sulphur, arsenic, powdered hellebore, white lend, alum, cinnabar of antimony, prepared chalk, umber, American bole and whale oil In various combinations and propor tions, and some old-fashioned farmers will cling to the use of such ngents, hut they are not nearly so effective as a reliable dip. TREATMENT FOR SCALY LEGS Kerosene Oil and Lard Will Destroy Mites Afflicted Parts Will Soon Heal Over. fm-"- Y-l-T-----..-. ..... Scaly leg In poultry is not a serious disease, although In some cases It seems to reduce the vigor of the bird. It Injures the appearance of a flock and is so easily cured that there Is little gained by allowing the disease to exist in the flock. It Is caused by a mite which burrows under the scales, and the Irritation results In cells which cause the crusty exudations. These j cells force the scales nway from the leg and give the bird a rough appear ance. KoiimI iiarts of kerosene oil and lard rubbed on the legs will destroy the mites and the a filleted parts will soon be healed. Oil of caraway, one part, j nnd vaseline, live parts, Is recom-1 mended for a quick cure and Is de-j sirtible for use when birds that are to' bo sold or exhibited show signs of the! scales. It Is then best to assist the oil by scrubbing off the dirty scales' with n small stiff brush. An old tooth ! brush is excellent for this use. j SAVE LABOR BY CULTIVATION! Cotton "Choppers" Should Not Be Re quired to Cut With Hoes Across Wide Zone of Weeds. The manner In which you cultivate the young cotton plants will meiia much to the work of hoeing. Cotton "choppers" should not be required to cut with hoes across a .wide zone of weeds, nor should they be required to "dig down" In drawing surplus dirt from the row. Cultivate to save hoe ing. Hoeing is expensive. Save labor by cultivation. GROWING AND FEEDING MARKET PIGEONS -;; ' - .... Preferred Type of The climate of South Carolina is ideal for grow ing pigeons, according to the poultry husbandman of Clemson college. Tho winters of this section White Runt Female. nre not too told, nor are the summers too hot for the production of squabs on a oinmerciiil scale. It is only in the molting period that the number of eegs and young pigeons will be de creased. . . ' . ' . . ! No special pigeon house is necessary in this state. An open-front chicken house. 10 feet long and 8 feet wide, and with a height of 7 feet In front anil 5 feet In back, will accommodate 30 pairs of pigeons. The house should face south and should have the east, north and west sides boarded tightly, as described in Farmers' Reading Course Bulletin 16, Clemson college. To complete the plant, erect In front of the house a frame 16 feet long, 100 feet wide and 6 feet 6 inches high, using 2 by 2-lach posts and 1 by 3-inch boards. Cover the frame with 1-inch mesh wire netting. This "fly" gives the pigeons the necessary exercise and the small wire keeps out sparrows. Good varieties are White King, White Homers, White Swiss Mon dailies, and Bed, Yellow, or Splashed COMMUNITY BREED IN FAVOR Efforts Being Made to Further Move ment in Various Localities Has Many Advantages. The advantage of having one breed of hogs in the community Is now rec ognized nnd efforts are being made in various localities to promote locnl organizations for the purpose of fur thering the movement. When a huge number of well-bred hogs of the same bred are to be found In one locality, n community organization Is possible which will create n new interest in breeding and feeding, and teach the members to take advantage of their opportunities. Many other advantages follow, such as buying breeding stock or feed co-operatively when necessary, advertising stock for sale and in con trolling diseases, THIN CULTIVATION IS URGED Loose Soil Serves as Mulch and Con serves Moisture One Way of Farming at Lo6s. Water moves slowly through n loose soil nnd u loose soil will, therefore, serve ns n mulch nnd conserve moist ure. Tills Is one of the reasons for shallow cultivation. Killing weeds, putting the land In better physicnl condition and furnishing modes of entrance for oxygen and nitrogen are other reasons. Failure to culti vate properly Is one way of farm ing at a loss. Full particulars as to the best cultural methods for any crop may be obtained by applying to your locnl demonstration agent or to the extension division, Clemson Col lege, South Carolina. , Wild ducks are now passing south. Wild geese have heretofore passed over on their Southern tour. Runt Cross Pigeon. Carneaux. White pigeons are pr ferd, because they can be sold alive at good prices when a surplus of stock arises. For some time the demand for good breeding stock will take care of the supply' and the squabs can ateo be killed, chilled, packed In ice and sold in Atlanta and other markets. A mixed feed consisting of equar parts of peas, cracked com (free fmm mold), sorghum or cane seed, and wheat produces excellent results. Small or broken peanuts may be sub stituted for peas. The important thing to remember is to make one-fourth of the mixture either peas or peanuts. These foods take the place of cotton seed meal in an egg mash. They sup ply protein and without one of them very few eggs and young pigeons will be produced. Feed the grain in a hopper or liberally twice daily. Hop per feeding is best. Keep in the flying pen at all times a supply of grit, small oyster shells, rock salt and water. I'igeons enjoy and require a bath twice weekly. A Homer Pigeon. dishpan half filled with water is all that Is needed. For further Information, write to the Extension Division of Clemson col lege for a bulletin on squab raising. Box Party at Fairview There will be a box party at Fair view church, Saturday night, Novem ber 18. The proceeds will be used for the benefit of missions. The girls are requested to bring boxes.
