Make More Improved Pasture
Alamance County farmers are,
showing much interest in seeding
improved pastures this year. Every
dairyman should seed at least one
acre of prepared pasture for every
oow kept on the farm. Improved
pastures should also be seeded for
sheep, pwine and work stock. The
price per acre for seeding these
mixtures is 13.85 per acre this year,
compared ylth a cost of |6.85 in
1928.

Use Old Tobacco Barns for Brooder
Houses.
A number of Alamance tobacco
growers, who are doing poultry
work as a supplement to the grow
ing of tobacco for a cash crop? are
using a tobacco barn for a brood
er house for the purpose of receiv
ing baby chicks. The converting
of a tobacco barn into a brooder
house is a simple matter. Wide,
planks can oe placed on the bot
tom tier poles in the barn to make
a substitute for a roof. Dt is not
necessary that these planks be nail
eu. ji. trarae can oe Dinu out 01
1x2 material that will fii in the door
and can be covered with Cejllo
Gjass. This will admit the ultra
violet rays of the sun when it is
too windy and cold for the door to
be left open. In the south side a
log or so may be sawed out and
a window sash can be put in to ad
mic ^ore light. Most barns have a
shiSd on the east side and poultry
wire (raay be placed around this, so
that the cbieas cannoit get out of
the sheds. This affords an outside
shelter for the chicks to range in
sunny good weather. The origin
al furnace in the tobacco barn may
be used with good results. How
ever short pipe should be used
from the furnace to the wall.
An average sized tobacco barn, al
tered in this way, will accommo
date 300 or more baby chicks.
For farmers who may need them,
for distribution at the County A
gent s office, Graham, a number of
plans for the construction of brood
ers and brooder houses are avail
able.
N. C. Formula For Feeding Poultry.
Baby Chicks Starter
The liberal feeding of mijk trt
all times is recommended. The
first feed should consist of sour
milk. Give , hdlk in containers,
other than tin, of such construction
that chicks cannot get into it. If
milk is not available, give water
in founts with chill off. Place mash
in hoppers before chicks wjhen
rHifir a era nloeftH nnHar nr in hrnrtH.
er. Feed the following dry ma ah
in hopper* from the start, u r^cil
chicks are eight weeks old.
fclash
30 Jbs, yellow corn meal
20 Jba, wheat middlings
15 Jba. heavy oats finely pulver
ized
12 lbs. wheat bran
7 Jbs. Fish meal (35 per protein)
7 Jba. meat scraps (55 per protein)
5 Jba, dried butter milk or skim
milk
1-2 Jb. iodised table salt.
Scratch
to lbs, yellow cracked com
40 Jba, cracked wheat
20 Jbs, rolled or pinhead oats.
Begin feeding scratch at end of
second week.
If chicks are growing stock are
confined in brooder house, add one
pint of biologically tested cod liver
oil to each 100 lbs, of mash.

For spring, summer, fall, use the
above scratch. For winter uae
100 lbs. whole corn.
In addition to the above maah
and scratch, charcoal and oyster
shell should be kept before the
birds at all times. Give green feed
from the beginning to the end. Al
falfa, clovers, rape, oats, barley,
rye anH wheat make excellent
green feed if fed while young and
tender. If milk is available on the
farm, use it to replace the dried
buttermilk Recommended in vari
ous.mashes, In the mixing c* the
above mashes the ingredients
should be spaded and turned three
times.
Trench Silos Proving Practical
For the small dairymen who do
Dot keep enough cows to Justify
the expense of the erection of the
conventional type of a silo, the
trench or pit silos win prove satis
factory. The trench silo as the
name implies Is simply a trench or
pit in the earth. The only coat to
this type of a silo Is the labor and
the roof. Mr. John A. Arey of the
office of Dairy Extension, State
College Station, Raleigh, startes so
far that these silos are proving sat
isfactory in this section. Plans for
the construction of these silos may
be obtained at the County Agent's
Office in Graham.
Alamance 4-H Club Boy Making Good
Record With Tobacco
J. V. Payne, son of B. M, Payne
of Saxapahaw, made a net profit
of .{154.78 on an acre of tobacco in
1933. His acre record exceeds that
of Roger Johnson, in Lenoir, who
made a net profit of $307.33 from
two acres of tobacco.
Young Payne, a 4-H Club member,
lists the following expenditures:
Labor {including man hrs.
and mule hrs,), $19.80
Cost of plant bed, 1.25
700 lbs. 8-3-5 fertiliser, 8.75
Cost of manure 2w50
Rent far one acre, 5.00
Rent for barn 3^50
Rent for padc house 1.00
TotaL $41.80
Payne fold a total of 890 lbs. of
tobacco from this one acre which,
after deducting warehouse charges
brought him $196.58
This acre of tobacco was grown
under the supervision of the Ala
mance County Agent.
Alaaisace Jersey Herds Honored
Each year the National Dairy As
sociation awards certificates to all
dairy herd improvement associa
tion members whose herds, compos
ed of five cows or more, produce
an average qf 300 or more pounds
of butter fat in one year. During
1932 testing year, two pure bred
Jersey herds In Alamance County
attained this honor, the herds be
ing those owned by J. R. and J.
\ Aidridfe of Haw River and V.
T. Woodsy Graham. The Aldrldges'
herds of It cows produced an aver
age of 170 lbs. of butter fat during
the year, and the Woods
herd of 21 cows produced an aver
age of 311 Iba, of butter fat during
the year. The efficient production
of these herds represents several
years of careful breeding, careful
selection and good feeding on the
part of the herd owners. Alamance
County should be proud of this
splendid record made by the two I
j progressive farmers,
Timely Fann Questions
Answered At State College
Question:?When should lespede
z* be sown on small grain ttnd
how much seed should bo used
to the acre?
Answer:?All leRpedeza should be
sown on small grain in Febru
ary or March but the time of
germination of different varie-i
ties must determine the exact
date of planting. The Korean
varieties geiminate in aboutI
two weeks and all other varie- j
ties between four and five(
weeks. Planting should be
made so as to avoid freezing
the young plants. One bushel j
or 25 pounds of seed will plant |
au acre if broadcast. The ?eed |
should be lightly covered
I
Question:?Should poultry used
tor breeding purposes lie con
finod or allowed free range? .
Answer: ? Ranging birds are
healthier and have more vital
ity and the breeding stock
should be allowed to range at
will unless the weather is raw
and blustery. The eggB from a
flock ranging under a normal
condition will produce chicks!
that are able to throw off dis
ease and crow into heavy pro
ducing adults.
~~~ i
Question:?How can we spcure
the agricultural publications
issued at the State College?
Answer:?A post card to the Ag
ricultural Editor, State College,
Raleigh, N. ?., stating the
number or title of publication
desired will bring a prompt re
ply. Be sure, however, to sign
yonr name and give yonr full
address.
{Cows Need Water in Large Amounts
| The digestive system of the cow
I is so arranged that large quanti
ties of water are needed lor its
proper working. Records show
that the average cow will consume
about 77 pounds of .water each day.
I "Many of the ills of the dairy cow
may be ascribed to a lack of pure
water," says Dr. C. D. Grinnells.
in charge of dairy investigations
for the North Carolina Experiment
Station. "This type of animal
consumes large quantities eft dry
roughages and grains and because
the cow uses coarse feeds made up
of plartts with hard, tojr^h cell
walla, nature has endowed her with
an Interesting but complies ed
stomach digestion. She needs con
siderable water to bring about the
proper workings of this system.
A large ccfw will secrete about 60
quarts of saliva every twenty-four
hours."
Water is also essential for rum
inaction or "cud-chewing" and many
times the so-caflled lost cud is due
to a la etc of this fluid. This stop
ping of rumination is not a disease
in itself but is a sympton oi a num
ber of diseases, Dr. Orinnells says.
When ther cause of the trouble is
removed, the cud will return.
Dr. Grlnnells points out that cud
chewing is an essential part of the
digestive activities of "(he cow.
When she eats, the food is (only
slightly macerated then the food
goes to the stomach or paunch
where it undergoes a soaking, soft
ening or fermentation process, af- 1
ter which it is transferred to the
honeycomb. This process takes a
heavy secretion of saliva and a
large .amount of water. It takes
considerable fluid to softem and
ferment all the hay, grass or grain j
that may be packed in the first
stomach or rumen vetth a capacity
of 20 to 25 gallons. In theaecond
stomach or honeycomb, new cuds
are constantly formed, says the
investigator.

What exciting magi# there is ih cigarette
advertising!
Let's !qgk at one of its greatest illusions
...that cigarettes can be mysteriously given
superior "futvoa."
thi EXPLAKATiot:: Juct three factors con
trol the flavor of a cigarette.'lTie addition of
artificial flavoring...the blending of various
tobaccos...and the Quality of the tobaccos
themselves. Quality is the most impor
tant. Artificial flavoring can never wholly
disguise the poor flavor of cheap tobaccos.
The blending of several cheap, raw to
baccos cannot improve the flavor of any
of them. A fine cigarette is a cigarette
blended from costly, ripe tobaccos.
.
It is a fact, well known by leaf to
bacco experts, that Camels are
made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE
tobaccos than any other popular brand.
This is why the Camel flavor has never
been rivaled . . . why Camels have given
more pleasure to more people thar any
other cigarette ever made.
In more costly tobaccos lies the secret of
Camels'delicate "bouquet"...of their rich,
. cool flavor?of their non-irritating mildness. 1 fjl
It's the tobacco that counts.
