THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1936 TOE WAYNESV ILLE MOUNTAINEER as up ;ff Twr v iw I 1 Va Wtfc I I IU HUMAN SIDE O'LIFE WELL I REMEMBER When I wuz jist a small, young chap, An' lived out "in the sticks," It 6eemed that Santy'd never come To bring my Chrs'mus "tricks." So, when the nite had finely come, An' I'de hung my home-nit sock They had to drive me off to beil 'Bout ten, say, by the clock. I'de lay awake an lissen long, The kiwer tuckt around, An' ev'ry unsuspectin' noiie I'de sware wuz Santa's sound. Some things I cood not urute'stan' About that Chris'mus eve: How Santa Claws cood be so sly An' the funny "track" he'de leeve. i Then, too, my parints winks an' smiles, Strange talk an' sekrit looks The things not seed at other times, Nor writ in Chris'mus books. So things went on on til, at last, I got ol' Santy's number How cood I be so awful dull, To me, wuz then the wunder! RETROSPECT Old pictures, spirit, times and all, I gladly would remember In my declining years of life ; Around each coal and ember! What days of youth and innocence! 1 iCould I recall them now, I'de face the future with a smile New chart, new course, new vow! tendin' to put the boot-lagger out o' bizness 'round here . . an' if so gloary be! Little gurl to her teecher (in one oi our Waynesville T. S. Skoote) Miss ,1 betcha kaint gess how I'm earnin' me some Xmas money." Teecher "No; how?" Little gurl "I'm a-scratchin' Dad dy's back neely ever nite." This reminds me of the man on Fines Cr. who yooce to scratch hiz back with a corn cob. Ye see, he wuz bilt kinder thick, broad uv back an' had short arms; so this left 'bout a sq. foot of unscratched territory on hiz back. Someboddy axt im why he didn't yooze a curry comb, but he sed it wuz too ruff. He, tharfore, got-im a big corn oob, prest it down tite on the sharp eand of a stick an' called it his "Pat-int Back Scratcher." So, now Unkle Abe brings to kloze another volyum of The Human Side by wishin the Deer Ol' Moun'neer Reederp, the Editur an' Staff, Printers an' Devils A Mervv Xmas. UNKLE ABE. Thar, Mr. Editur! I hope ye didn't cry on them 2 last verces. I no ye don't like sentymental stuff, but it jist took them to kompleet the thing TIM E L Y Farm Questions and Answers Yes, sir-ee, fokes, Waynesville is shore the best dickorated town in the U. S., Streets, stores an' all konsider ed! Now, Unkle Abe noze that's takin' in a lot o' territory . . an' I haint jrone to the trubble of goin' to all the other towns in the U, S. to eee, but 'sum how I jist feel like it's so. Mr. Editur, I have obzerved that menny of our mountin fokes air acksly urnin' to drink beer . . in pref'rence to hard lkker, at leest some of era. Now, who'de a thawt it Everwhir I go the beer stans air doin' a good bizness. Thar'B very little disordur I'm told . . an' that's bin my obser vashun. Jist sounds like one thing, that it's Question: What v the best grain mixture for a poultry ration Answer: There' are several grains or combination of grains that give satisfactory results, but the one most commonly used in all sections of North Carolina composed of sixty per cent yellow corn and forty percent wheat. However, this ration should be large ly governed by what is grown on the farm, and the cost of the grain which must ue punnasfO. Where tnere is an abundance of heavy barley (IS pounds to the bushel) or heavy oats (38 pounds to the bushel) these may be substituted for a part of the corn and wheat, but should never exceed thirty per cent of the grain mixture If all the good wishes in the world were put together, they'd express our Christ mas greetings to yon. W. W.N.C CAFE C. A. GEORGE, Owner Question: Is it safe to feed sil age to dairy calves? Answer: Silage should not b fed to young calves, but a small amount may be included in the ration when the calves are from three to four months of age. About two pounds a day is sufficient at first as silage is laxative and too much will cause scours. This amount may be gradu ally increased as the calvee grow old er. Only good, well cured silage should be used as any sour or moulded feed will cause indigestion and re tard growth. I must employ at onco a man Hi Ins in small town or on farm. Permanent work. Must be satisfied with earn ing $75 a month at first. Address Iiox 7125, caiv of this paper. Name .... ... . . ...... . . . . . . . . .... . Address ........ . v . . . . . . . . . , i .... '. Question: What can I substitute for green feed in the poultry ration? Answer: A good grade of cod liver oil that has been biologically tested for potency and vitamin con tents may be substituted in part for green feed. One pound or one pint should be added to each 100 pounds of mash when the substitution is made or it may be fed on the grain instead of mixing with the mash when more convenient. Where possible, however, some cured alfalfa hay, les pedeza, or clover hay that retains the green color should be provided for the vitamin content and laxative effects. Question: How long should I wait after vaccinating hogs for cholera be fore killing them for the home meat supply? Answer: Where the animals have shown no reaction such as fever and other disorders from the treatment, they may be killed two weeks after vaccination is completed. The meat will then cure out well with no after effects from the vaccination. How ever, if the animalg have had any fever or have shown signs of nervous disorders, it will be best to wait un til the trouble has disappeared be fore killing them. Christmas dreams will come true. Champion Shoe Shop E. T. DUCKET, Owner We're hoping all your Question: What is a good winter grain ration for my Jersey cows? Answer: This, of course, depends upon the amount of milk produced and the quality of the hay fed. Un der ordinary conditions each cow should receive six tenths of one pound for each pound of milk pro duced in excess of ten pounds. This means that a cow giving 20 pounds fo milk would receive six pounds of grain a day. This feeding is based on the supposition that the cow is getting about three pounds of silage for each 100 pounds of weight and all the legume hay she will eat Where the hay is of poor quality, more grain will be required. Question: How long -will it be after the males are placed m the flock before hatching eggs may be selected? Answer: Research work has indi cated that an egg is fertile within 20 hours after the male is introduced in the flock, but this is the extreme case and impractical from the breed ers standpoint. For general farm conditions it ie best to wait until the fifth day after mating before select ing eggs for hatching. This is es pecially true where the male has been used more than one year.
