Preserves and jam will add the required sugar or sweets to the diet and a small supply should be prepared and added to the pantry shelves. Question: Should rose bushes be dusted or sprayed during the bloom ing season? Answer: A good grade of dusting sulphur thould be applied to rose bushes at weekly intervals through the entire season. Where the plants are Infested with aphids or thrips, | the nicotine sulphur dust should be used. This is made by thoroughly mixing twelve ounces of forty per cent nicotine sulphate solution with two pounds of hydrated lime and eight pounds of dusting sulphur. For the control of rose slugs the same solution is used with two pounds of arsenate of lead added. Where the arsenate of lead is added, one pound of the dusting sulphur should be re moved ftom the mixture. Question: What breed of chickens is best for producing capons? Answer: TTiere Is a heavy market demand for birds of the yellow skinned breeds which include Rhode Island Reds, Cochins, White Wyan dottes, Barred and Plymouth Rocks, Jersey Giants, and Cornish. Ex periments at this station show a preference for Plymouth Rocks over the Rhode Island Reds, but almost any of the heavy breeds will pro duce good, marketable capons. A judicious crossing of any of these heavy breeds will produce birds with enhanced vigor and the ability to make rapid and economical growth. Question: Is there any advan tage to be gained in changing from one brand of poultry feed to ' an other? Answer: There is no advantage in changing feeds and, in most cases there is a disadvantage in that birds resent any change in the diet and will fall off in production. The only valid reason for making a change would be poor production and, in a few cases, the fact that price levels were out of reason. If the flock is in normal production, no change should be made. If the change is for the reason that prices seem to be out of balance it is best to remember that cheap feeds are, in the long run, usually the most ex | pensive. Question: How much feed will a fifty pound pig consume between now and September 1 and how much will he weigh at that time. Answer: A fifty pound pig will, under normal conditions, eat 424 pounds of feed in fourteen weeks and will put on about 122 pounds of weight in that time. To get this gain, however, the ration must be balanced and should consist of 36 pounds of fish meal or tankage, 136 pounds of corn meal, 40 pounds of wheat shorts, and 212 pounds of corn. Extension Circular No. 143 gives the amount and kind of feed for different weights of growing pigs together with the amount of ex pected gains. Copies of this circu lar will be sent free upon applica tion to the Agricultural Editor, State College. Question: Is the appearance of poultry mash any index as to the quality? Answer: No. The value of poul try mash cannot be determined by the appearance of texture. At one time it was believed that a finely ground mash was more easily di gested but experience has shown that, in some cases, the regrinding is done to hide inferiority in qual ity, Certain mash ingredients, such as wheat bran should not be ground too fine. The flakes of bran in the mixture tends to produce bulkiness which aids digestion. Check care fully on the ingredients and see that sufficient bulkiness is allowed. Question: When should alfalfa be cultivated? Answer: Cultivation is often of very little value except under cer tain conditions. When the stand is thin and crab grass comes in late in the summer, the crop may be cul tivated during July or August. This will destroy much of the grass. If any cultivation is done it should be made immediately after a cutting. A spring-tooth alfalfa harrow is the best implement for this work. In no case should a disc harrow be used as it splits the crown and renders the plants more susceptible to disease and freezing. Question: What size can Is bes for putting up fruits and vegetablei for home use? Answer: The number two or thre« is the size most generally used foi home canning. Only experiencec canners should use the No. 10 can: as it is difficult to sterilise so large a filled container. Corn, squash peas, or pumpkin should never bt put up in a No. 10 can. Where one has the necessary experience, string beans, tomatoes, soup mixtures, pvaches, pears, and blackberries may be successfully canned in these big containers. Visiting Delegate (to hotel clerk): "Why didn't you call me at seven thirty this morning?" he demanded. Because," returned the affable clerk, "you didn't go to bed 'till eight."

GETTING "FRESH" AIR The modern automobile may be called the universal convenience for out-door travel. It is rare to find an American householder that does not possess some sort of a family car. I rode in my sedan about thirty five miles yesterday afternoon. It was sunny and warm—a perfect day; I wanted—needed—air and sunshine; I, like multiplied thousands, had been housed the week before. The question is, how much air and sunshine did I obtain? In a very "sketchy" ride over the hills and through country lanes, I was not actually in the glorious sun shine over ten minutes? Seated on the cushions, I did not get ten whole minutes of physical exercise—a sol emn fact. I am forced to confess —the closed automobile is worth precious little as an instrument for gathering sun shine and exercise for the man who needs both . . . Thrice more benefit comes to the health-tourist who is compelled to get out by the side of the highway and patch up a punc tured tire or a "blow-out." He gets the sunshine and exercise. An auto trip over mountain roads with camping out at nights', eating lunches broiled over a chunk-fire in the great out-doors—a trip last ing a week or two, is of immense benefit for recuperation; but how very few are so situated that they may go to that extent? Let me word this exactly: I got ' * OFFICERS DIRECTORS si Elkm# Kiwanian Wm A. O. BRYAN, TREAB. WILBUR CARTER VoL 7, No. 11 ELKIN, N. O.

I mention this to show how easily, effectual and cheap one can obtain such absolute essentials to life and health, as sunshine, air, and good exercise. The humblest may reach forth and take without cost, while the idler merely "gets by" in his self deception. THE NERVOUS PATIENT Let us hope and pray that you may never encounter one! lam not assuming that you may TREAT a nervous invalid; but I can imagine that you have a neighbor man or woman that has an attack of acute nervous collapse—and that you are privileged to call around in neigh borly courtesy. Let the doctor do the threating. But my advice to YOU is most im porant—for you may, with the best intentions possible, make the pa tient most miserable by your ill timed attentions, and make a last ing enemy of the poor physician. To illustrate: I was calling re cently on a collapsed nervous man; in that small bed room, I found four blood-relatives in a circle around the patient! They were of all ages and occupations; and they were all convSrsing about all the deaths that had occured in the family for the last six or seven years! Can you imagine the effect on the poor, dis traught nervous spstem—the man lying on the bed? I found the patient in a most dis tracted state of mind; true he was among his loved ones, but they were heedlessly driving him near and nearer to the verge of despair. And they had been visiting—and tortjir- lag him for several hours, prior to my arrival! Your conduct with the nervous pa tient should be regulated by the phy sician in charge. You should never call to see an extremely ner vous invalid, unadvised; never make a long call —and, if you cannot car ry a helpful manner and smiling i face, pIease—PLEASE stay out of the sick room! I never really wanted to commit murder; but my blood sometimes arrives at the boiling point when I find my nervous patient torn asun der by well-intentioned neighbors or kin-folks. The beneficiaries of the status quo always find the causes of social ills in nature rather than in the constitution of society.
