Evergreens Add To
Spirit of Christmas
Decoration Scheme
Care Should Be Taken To
Protect Trees In Taking
Evergreens
A few evergreen decorations,
brightened with splashes of red
here and there, will help give the
home a holidty atmosphere during
the Christmas season.
“You can make your own decor
ations if evergreens are growing in
woodlands near your home,” said
Miss Pauline Gordon, State College
extension specialist in home man
agement.
In most North Carolina wood
lands can be found holly, laurel,
cedar, pine. running cedar, south
ern smilax, mistletoe, pine cones,
spruce cones, and many varieties of
colorful berries.
When gathering these greens,
Miss Gordon cautioned, be careful
not to uproot the plants or disfig
ure the trees. In places, evergreens
are becoming scarce as a result of
thoughtless destruction.
Holly is an unusually slow-grow
ing tree, she added, and especial
care should be exercised to pro
test the trees. Snip oft' only small
branches, and don’t cut away more
than one-fifth of the tree’s leaf sur
face. Cut the branches, never
break them oft.
In making decorations, one needs
wire for wreath foundations, wire
cutters, pliers, twine, a sharp knife,
and a pair of garden shears.
It is necessary to have a frame to
make a wreath. It may be made of
wire and one of the evergreen
vines, such as smilax and running
cedar or boughts may be entwined
about" the wire. Such bows must
be long and flexible.
Then clip the evergreens into
even-sized pieces and fasten them
to the frame until the entire wreath
is formed. It may then be trimmed
with pine cones, red berries, mistle
toe, cranberries, tangerines, kum
quats, grapes, apples, lemons, or
other bright colored objects.
Well Managed Flock
Lays Well in Winter
-»
The December and January slump
in egg production experienced by
most North Carolina poultry flocks
cuts heavily into the profits that
should be made during the winter.
This abnormal slump is not found
n good flocks that receive the prop
er care and management, said C. F.
Parrish, extension poultry special
ist at State College.
In making a study of North Caro
lina flocks, the extension poultry
department found reason to believe
that much of the slump is due to
poor housing conditions and to er
rors in feeding and management.
The two most common mistakes
in housing are: failure to provide
adequate space for the birds and
failure to protect them from cold
and drafts, Parrish pointed out.
There should be at least four
square feet of floor space for each
bird to be housed, he continued.
Houses may be kept warm by mak
ing them draft-proof, and providing
means of closing the fronts on cold
days and nights.
The most common mistake in
feeding is that of trying to econo
mize, Parrish stated. Many grow
ers feed no mash or only small a
mounts of mash, with the result
that egg production is cut in half.
Birds should be fed liberally on
a balanced ration consisting of mash
and grains, or on an all-mash ration,
he went on. Keep the feed before
the birds at all times in waste-proof
hoppers.
The birds should also have plen
ty of fresh, warm water. It will al
so help to give them a supplemen
tary feed of young, tender green
feed when this is available.
Another common mistake is that
of trying to make inferior birds
produce a profitable number of
eggs. It just can’t be done, Parrish
declared. Get rid of cull birds and
concentrate on good ones.
Possible To Cure or Corn
Lamb Just as Beef or Pork
-(V
It is possible to cure or corn lamb
as one cures pork and beef. The
shoulders aand legs are the cuts
most frequently corned. To each
10 pounds of lamb use one and one
half cups of salt, one-half table
spoon of saltpeter, and three-quar
ters of a cup of brown sugar. Rub
salt thoroughly into the meat, cov
eing every portion, and allow to
stand with the salt on it for 24
hours. Then pour over the meat
the other ingredients dissolved in a
small quantity of lukewarm water.
Add water enough to cover the
meat and allow to sand in the brine
for three of four days. Since lamb
absorbs more salt than beef, special
care should be taken not to use
more than the quantity specified.

I Only Good Egg Will
Produce Good Chick
—■>—
Some poultrymen are more opti
mistice than businesslike in their
who assemble all kinds of eggs,
good or bad, for hatching purposes,
said Roy S. Detrstyne, head of the
State College poultry department.
This is especially true of those
methods.
“You can’t get more out of your
incubator than you put into it,” he
declared in urging poultrymen to be
more careful in selecting eggs for
hatching.
Hathcing eggs should come only
from high quality, healthy, vigor
ous birds. They should be normal
in shape, have well calsified shells,
and weigh more than 23 ounces to
the dozen.
They should be gathere several
times a day and stored in a warm
place to avoid chilling, he said% as
eggs that have chilled too much
will not produce good chicks. A
temperature of 30 to 60 degrees is
best.
Hatching eggs should not be kept
in storage for more than seven to
ten days, he added.
The ijncubator should be careful
ly cleaned, disinfected, and tested
before the eggs are placed inside.
Likewise, the brooder and brooder
house should be cleaned and test
ed before any chicks are put in to
grow.
Dearstyne advised that the brood
er should be started in operation at
least 24 hours before the arrival of
the chicks, so as to give it time to
become warmed throughout.
Destroy subnormal or cull chicks.
Do not brood more than 300 chicks
in one unit, and allow a square foot
of iloor space for every two chicks.
Watch the temperature closely; ov
erheating is worse than a slight
chilling, he warned.
