Say that we keep live cows on this

come of frmi forty to fifty ilollars
per month jut for milking- anil salt

we can do anything else that .vill
equal this. Then during the winter
e can he trettimr the same or more,
and we can do the work when the
weather U too hail to (ret out to do
other work. In other words it will
furnish a means of ready money for
our time during the winter months
when we do not have other employ
ment that will luin in ready money.
Of course we have .-.oniothini; to do at

Poultry s a Money Crop
In last wet k , Progressive I-'armer
I noticed an article about poultry, '
and a.sks the question about why not '
surprise the old hen by building- her ,
a nice house for Christmas. With
fZKt. at .r.5 to 60 rents per dozen this
is well worth consideration. The man
who loots after his hens and has
early hatched pullets laying at this '
fceasim IB the man that is cashing in
on Wh inyestment at this time.
Proper housing and proper feeding
are the two big essentials right now.
Culling out the non-layers in also im- j
porta rrt btit this should already have 1
been done, if not get it done a noon ;
a poBilbl. The feeding and housing
problem iU be before Uh all winter '
- though and should be looked after. I
No hen will lay during the winter
month unless she is properly houaed
so that he can keep warm. Then
rive them plenty of well balanced
food. They should have a good
- icraica food morning and night Give
. about ana-third of tha scratch ration
and Um other twe third at night
iTUn in addition gjra thra a good
.4rr. maah tarrying plenty of protein.

And nuts and sparkling sugar pluma,
And drums and skates and homa.
And dolls mith flaxen tresses drop

Slate's Bonds Sealing Well
The State of North Carolina will
have no further sale of bonds of ex
isting issues until neatt September. A
New York syndicate ha.s taken $15,
000,000 directly advertised for sale.
This leaves only about $5,000,000 of
bonds to be sold of the total authori
zation of the 1921 and 1923 legisla
tures. This makes a total of $90,000,000
in bonds that have been sold by
Treasurer Ben Lacy and Governor
Morrison in financing the "Program
of Progress". The bonds have been
sold on remarkably good terms.
