They advise the early stripping and
selling the remainder of the 1926 crop
as the marked will hardly be open

bo ever mentions uls part to you.
S. your guano on credit. Steal
your mule and plow tools from youi
neighbor. OIto.checks tor groceries.
5. Stay away from church, so'i
your preacher wont expect you to
pay him anything, and If he send*
a collector around, why, turn him

<. Borrow a ahoat to raise oa

and tell the man you got it from thai
hla half died. ^
6. Spend every Sunday with your

I. .Trade at every store you dad

I. As soon as crops are laid by
take youy mules back to the man that

10. Pick your cotton as fast as It

FARM POULTRY SUFFERS
FROM WIIfTER DISEASES
RaJAlgh. Dec. 27.?Poultry suffers
from colds and associated troubles In
winter Just as do human beings but
a little care and doctoring will help
to keep down the heavy annnal toll
that these diseases exact from North
Carolina poultrymen. According to.
Dr. B. F. Kaupp, head of the poultry
department at State College, the birds
suffer most from diseases of the re
spiratory tract In cold weather.
Common colds result from the bird*
becoming wet or chilled because off
poor housing, quick changes in wea
ther or cracks in the house permitting
a draft to blqjr on the birds. One or
the signs of Jhla disease Is a discharge
from the noes. Any bird so affected
should be immediately removed from
the flock states Dr. Kaupp, because
the discharge will contaminate the
drinking water and give the diseana
t o the other birds. In the case oC
colds, the nose should be cleared out
by syringing with a 10 percent solu
tion of argyrol or a purple solution
of permanganate of potash. In thu
case of roup where there is a stink
ing discharge, pare iodine should be
used In the syringe and the bird treat
ed morning and night until cured.
Weak pallets come from crowding
In the summer and they must have
proper feed and care in the laying
pens. Most of them will develop sore
head even In a new house. Than*
pimples should be greased with car
bollzed vaseline, roupzen or sulphur
mixed with vaseline or lodex.
Sore eyes Is another familiar win
ter time trouble. Hie eyes need to
be swabbed out. states Dr. Kaupp, and
a drop of a 10 percent solution at
argyrol or a one percent solution off
sulphate ot lino placed la the eye
twice each day.
Canker or dfphtheritis It a winter
disease which attacks the month. Ik
forms g spot where the sore Is cow
ered with a cheesy material. Scrap#
this off. states Dr. Kaupp, and nan on
it a canker pencil, pare Iodine or pow
dered chlorate of potash,
once each day until the sore has
cored.
