v THURSDAY, DEC. I, US? THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. What is the srnallest' number of cows that will pay a profit from sales of milk arid cream ? " , 1 A. Whik the number of cows must be determined by the arrlount of good roughage, feed, and pasture grown on the farm it is not advis aDie to keep less than five animals. The return from less than, five cows will not justify the expense of the simple equipment needed to handle the product and the. cost of deliv ery of a two or three cow herd wui be practically double the larger unit. In planning tne herd, how ever, be sure that all animals can be fed largely from home-grown i'ecds. .' . - - - Q. How much fertilizer should I use on. my tobacco bed? A. Two hundred pounds of a 4-8-3 mixture for each 100 yards of bed is sufficient. However, if a lower erade fertilizer is used it should be ciinnlpmpntPfl with . from 50 tO lU pounds of cottonseed meal provided the meal is thoroughly mixed with the soil. Broadcast the fertilizer and thoroughly mix it with the upper three or four inches of soil. If manure is used be sure that it con tains no tobacco leaves, stalks, or roots and do not place any tobacco trash on the beds as this will car ry diseases such as mosaic, black root rot, and Granville wilt. Q. When should grain be fed the laying hen for maximum produc tion ? : , A. Most poultrymen in North Carolina are eettine high produc tion by feeding a small amount of grain in the morning and the re mainder at night while some are feeding a small amount at different intervals during the day. This lat nrortir overcomes idleness in the bird and increases the activity Where erain is fed twice a day about one pound of grain is fed in th mnrnincr and efeht to 10 pounds for each 100 hens fed late iq the afterndon. There is a growing ten- Amrv to feed the strain in troughs in the afternoon and this is a good practice especially where infections diseases of internal parasites are present. Care ahd attention to de tails in feeding are essentials for high production. ' ' . ' ; Loyal Order of Moose Franklin Lodge, No. 452 In Americal Legion Hall . Each Friday 8:00 P.M. S. J.

Arey, extension dairy specialist at State college. . Her digfetive organs function best when well filled 'with good feed, he continued, and that is the reason why roughage is such an important item in her diet. Good roughage not only provides nutrients in itself, tout it also makes possible a more complete digestion of the grain in a cow's ration. Arey pointed out that a pound of nutrients can be produced' more cheaply in roughage than in grain. Therefore, it is considered a good feeding policy to give a cow all the roughage she will eat. Legume hay such as alfalfa, soy beans, lespedeza, cpwpeas, or clover is unquestionably the best hay for dairy tows, Arey stated. Mixed hays such as legume and a grass, of legume with oats and barley are also good. ' - Besides hay, cows need a succu lent feed. Silage is recommended for winter feeding; it is nutritious and has a laxative effect that helps keep the digestive tract in good condition.

We know of nothing more sensible to give for Christmas than something nice for the home . . . something that will keep on giving for years. Where winter cover crops are available, they too make a good succulent 'feea;;'' ' Arey said a common rule is to feed three pounds of silage per day for each 100 pounds the cow weighs. Silage in the' ration increases a cow's capacity for, digesting feed, and the more feed she can digest and convert into milk, the more profit the dairyman Can make.

It's Hog-Killing Time In Carolina "Hog-kiljing time. How this pression stirs the jtctivity of farm family as cold weather rives ! "It means plenty of hard work, but it also means fresh pork, saus age, spare ribs, liver pudding, crack lin' corn' bread filling the smoke house," said Prof. R. E. Nance, of State college. v A moderately cool day, with the weather above freezing, is better than a bitter cqld day for hog-' killing, he continued. Stop, feeding the hogs 24 hours before they are to be slaughtered. It is easier to clean and dress the carcass when the digestive tract is empty.. And when the system is not gorged , with food, the blood will drain out more readily. Don't overheat or excite the ani mals before killing. Getting the hog wrought-up produces a fever ish condition that prevents proper bleeding and causes the meat to sour while in cure. For scalding the carcass, Pro fessor Nance said that water at a temperature of 150 degrees is fcest. In rnld weather, add a bucket of cold water to half a barrel of boil ing water, and this will give about the nerht temnerature. , Or dip the finger into' the water nuicklv. .If it burns severely the first time, it is too hot. 15ut it tne fingef.can be dipped in three times in quick succession, with the water burning severely the third time, the temperature is about right. A vat sunk, into the ground be side a platform close to the ground level provides a convenient place to calH the carcass and scrape on the hair. ' Tools that will aid in dressing the carcass are : A common six or eieht-inch butcher knife, a sbt-mch skinning knife, a smooth steel for sharpening ; knives, several hog gambrel stacks, two bell shaped hog icrapers, (and a 28-inch meat saw WATCHES - JEWELRY I have several good .used watches taken in trade at real bargains.
