Facts,Figures and Farmers
MARION W. WALL, County Agent
During the past week in associa
tion with A. G. Oliver, Poultry Spec
ialist for the State, we held commun
ity meetings at West End, Hemp,
Southern Pines and Carthage. Other
engagments had to be canceled on ac
count of the illness of Mr. Oliver. At
the above places an enthussiasm for
better poultry in Moore county was
very evident. At West End nine fam
ilies agreed to start pure bred poul
try; at West End eleven boys and
girls are starting out with pure bred
Barred Rocks while at Southern Pines
we found the greatest interest in the
county; Mr. Gould of that city has
the mosst magnificent poultry plant,
it is all back-yard poultry work but
one of the most complete and up-to-
date poultry plants in all the county.
To those who want to get some real
good information about poultry rais
ing will do well to make a special
trip to Southern Pines and see Mr.
Gould.
Hides, Tanning and Exchange
For the last year hides have been
selling at an extremely low price, so
low in fact that it was hardly worth
the while for the farmer to skin ani
mals dying from unpreventable caus
es. If possible, however, these hides
should be saved in some way and the
following sugestions may be of
value.
Home Tanning of Hides
Send to the Webb Publishing Co.,
St. Paul, M[inn., for their pamphlet on
home tanning which is simple and
complete.
The Jacobson Publishing Co., of
136 West Lake St., Chicago, III., pub
lishes two volumes on Modern Amer
ican Tanning. These voJumes are
very complete.
Exchange of Hides for Leather
The Woefel Co., of Mirris, 111., will
accept hides in exchange for harness,
sole, and lace leathers. This is an
exceptionally good opportunity to get
leather for home use.
Home Tanneries
Messrs. Kistler and Leash of Mor-
ganton, N. C., operate a large tan
nery. It would be well to get in touch
with this firm. For additional inform
ation write the office of Beef Cattle
and Sheep at West Raleigh, N. C.
WHERE THE LAUGH COMES IN
By NAMLIG
Johnnie—“say” Pop, did you marry
mommer while you were on a fish
ing trip.
Pop—“No! why?”
Johnny—“Cause I heard her tell
Mrs. Peterson next door, that when
she married you she caught a lobster.”
Some Hungry
Old Lady—“Your voice sounds kind
of hollow and empty like.”
Appetite Pete—“I know that Mum,
Fm talking from my stomach.”
“$8 a Week and Costs”
It turns out sometimes that it costs
more to not support your than to sup
port her.
Buy Her a Brass Collar
A restaurant in Butler, Missouri,
displays the following on a very
prominent sign “Don’t divorce your
wife because she can’t cook. Eat her
and keep her for a pet.”
