THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF 1 CHICKEN RAISING ARE GIVEN ? " Hi The Ten Commandments of chick raising ? as essential to the poultry roan's success as Moses' original law# ??re offered in the 1931 edition of the Purina Poultry Book ? a handy hip-pocket volume of 100 pages, de voted entirely to the feeding, care, management, diseases, and cures of poultry. In brief form this outline gives a simple plan of what the poultryman should do to raise a high percentage ?f his chicks? to care for them prop erly ? to give them what they need lor lifej health, and growth ? to cure their ailment*? to guard against in fection and disease. Numbers one and two of these com mandments lay the foundation for t'hick raising: "Move the broodet house to new ground," and "Thor oughly clean and disinfect all equip ment." These precautions are deemed necessary to prevent any chance of disease being carried over from last year and give this year's chicks the chance to start without handicaps of any kind. The third commandment advises that brooder houses and stoves be carefully regulated for several days before the chicks arrive to insure oven, steady temperature conditions, proper ventilations, and the elimina tion of drafts. j Doctors Disagree When children are irritable and peevish, grind their teeth and sleep restlessly, have digestive pains ana disturbances, lack of appetite, and have itching eyes, nose and fingers, doctors will not always agree that they are suffering from worms. Many mothers, too. will not believe that their carefully brought up chil dren can have worms. The fact remains that these symptoms will yieM. in a great majority of cases, to a few doses of White's Cream Ver mifuge, the sure expellant of round and gin worms. 'If your child has any ot these symptoms, try this harm less, old fashioned medicine which you can get at 35c per bottle from n AVIS- LONG DRUG CO. A sound piece of advice is offered ' next. "Start with early-hatched, vig* < orous chicks;" with the explanation > given that early-hatched chicks mean < ?pullets laying early in the fall, at the .1 beginning of high prices, and broilers ' ready before the market is glutted, p Not more than 360 chicks should be j placed in a 10x12 brooder house, the ; next law declares, since more than ' this number wil lmean. crowding, with J the consequences of poorly developed 1 stunted, and possibly diseased birds. Commandment No. 6 explains that a drinking fountain and a two-foot j . Startena feeder should be provided ( for each 50 chicks to allow each in- ( dividual chick all the room it needs , to get feed and water ? upon which , life and health depend. Frightening or stampeding chicks by sudden movements is advised against in No. 7 since, if done only 'j a few times, it- will mean highly tern- 1 . peramental chicks which are thrown ? j off feed by slight disturbances, re- ! . suiting in poor development. Chicks j should be taught to roost early, says 1 ( No. 8, usually beginning about the j , third or fourth week. |j The ninth commandment advises ( the adoption of a plan of feeding > which will give the chicks the right ( start and the best chances for growth throughout. I( Finally it is recommended that ev- ] ery poultryman remove the cocker- j flock, fatten them in a separate pen, j els, which are usually about half his < and market them as broilers as soon j as possible. < The complete set of commandments 1 is contained in the Purina Poultry i Hook together with a full explanation < and detailed information on poultry i raising. A copy may be obtained j i from B and B Feed and Seed com- | < pany, the local Purina dealer, at the j i store with Checkerboard sign.

FARMERS TO SWAP SURPLUS FOR NEEDS i i Asheville, Feb. 25. ? Western North 1 Carolina farmers who have a surplus >f live stock, of produce, of farming | mplements, of machinery, of articles )f seed, or miscellaneous articles which they would like to trade for iesirable articles possessed by other farmers of this section will be given | in opportunity to make the trade on March 27 and 28, as a result of the recently announced plan of the Ashe-) rille Chamber of Commerce to estab lish a Farmers' Exchange on those dates. The swapping will be done in Asheville at and about the tobacco warehouse of the Western Carolina ' Tobacco Corporation and the ex :hange will be free of charge to all citizens of this section. Any live stock can be cared for in the open I spaces about the warehouse. The Exchange days are being es- . tablished as a result of suggestions j from agricultural agents in this sec- ( tion who state that they are' often ap proached by farmers who wish to ' trade articles which they do not need for other articles which will be use- j Ful to them. The establishment of the exchange at the warehouse in Ashe- . trille on March 27 and 28, creates a | ;ime and place at which these farm srs may meet and trade their posses sions. Every farmer is invited to at :end and to participate. In preparation for the Exchange Jays the Asheville Chamber of Com- 1 nerce will act as a clearing house for the event. Farmers who have ' irticles which they would like to ex :hange for other articles more desir- . ible should write to the Chamber of Commerce listing the article to be :raded and the. article or material de- j sired. These various items will be j compiled by the Chamber of Com- ! merce and the list published in daily ; newspapers in advance of the Ex :hange dates, in order that farmers may know at least a part of the items which will be offered on the trading Jays or get a line on what things are ' wanted so they can take stock and see what they may have to dispose of Mules, cattle, feed, wagons, farm : machinery, produce, poultry and in j fact all manner of articles or animals i are expected to be offered for ex- 1 change. The Exchange days will ? probably be enlivened by the music \ of string bands tkiei'ng." This] part of thet/jjf0jT1.am js to those who attend to do as they please. Farmers who attend will be under no obligation^ to trade but the oppor tunity will be (offered for' the exchange of any goods possessions. It is ex pected that ti? Exchange will be made a regulaY pverit for Western North Carolinsj^iarmers and it will also be an iffteresting social gather ing for farmers of the section.
