MAKc YOUR VARIEI7
THE BEST
Where fowls are confined to smaii
yards they need very careful atten
tion, particularly in hot weather, to
keep them from contracting soaie
disease.
When the weather gets very hot
the. odor from a lot of filthy sur
roundings is not very conducive to
health. If the house is well clean
ed every few days, as it should be,
that is not all. The yard should be
spaded or turned over in some way
in order to haye the tai ting iroin
the continued droppings scattered
over the yard turned under where
they will be dissolved and taken Anderson, Waynesville, J. J. Hefler

This is so easily done unless you M- Call Jr- Lynchburg, H. H. Lighr
have double vards that vou can use i
o ne while the other is being seeded
down. Then there is the movaole
run which some have used with
success. It is the plan of seeding
the yard, having a wire n tting run
say, four by eight feet and two or
two and a half feet high, according
to the kind of fowls kept. This
yard is kept in one place two or
three days and then moved to a
fresh place. Allowing all the rest
of the vard to be vaeant for the
growth of the greenstuff. f,
A good dust bath place isva"very
essential thing at any time of the
year, but specially so in hot weath
er. Where you are turning over
the ground for the sake of getting
the droppings under and not rais
ing green stuff, the mellow dirt
freshly plowed or spaded makes a
regular play ground tor the hens or
chickens of all ages and sizes.
Where it is not possible to raise
any quanity of green stuff at a
time, it is a good plan to make a
frame of 1x6 boards 3x6 feet into
which sow a half b"shel of oats
after having soaked it overnight in
water enough to cover it. Have
ybur frame located upon smooth
hard ground; cover the oats with
about one inch of loose soil and
water well everv day. When the
srirouts show through well it is
ready to feed.
When you wish to feed it take a
garden hoe and slip the blade of it
under the oats and all and lift it
straight up and you can carry to
where you wish to feed it This
not only makes the finest gre?n
food you can obtain, but it will as
a rule be full of worms, too, which
will give them something to work
on for some time.
When your fowls' combs have a
very dark red look on them it is a
sign that they have some form of
liver trouble or indigestion, and
they need more of this good green
stuff regularly all the while, and it
should be provided or they will not
do weU- 1)0 not Pay attention
to the other fellow; let him run his
business the way he chooses, - but
you want to stick to the breed that

breed on earth and there will soon
be many others who will be, think
ing the same way and want your
stock. I have known a good many

The officers no matter how efficient
cannot preserve order and punish
the offenders unless they have the
moral support of the citizens. They
must be upheld by public opinion.
We believe that the people of Syl

make it One man will take it and
with his shiftless and careless way
of handling it lead observers to

he will eventually drop it for gome-

If you really think that the breed
that you are handling is not as good
for you at least as some other one
would be, sill it off and make a
change for the one that you are
sure will have confidence in, for
you will never do much with a
variety that does not suit you. It
is a good deal like telling every one
with whom you talked that your
wife was no account Such a - pro-,

making her really no account to
