Give Cows Free Access To Water Don't scrimp "bossy" on her drinking water or you'll lose some of the value of that expensive feed you've been giving her. Tests have shown that providing water so that animals have free access to it increases the milk yield of high-producing cows about four per cent over watering twice daily and six to 11 per cent over watering only once daily. When you consider that milk is 87 per cent water, that isn't hard to understand. Cows will consume about 3.5 to 5.5 pounds of water per pound of milk produced. High-protein feeds increase wat er consumption somewhat. From 12 to 15 gallons per head daily is an average amount for a herd, in cluding both cows in milk and dry' cows. However, cows producing 75 to 100 pounds of milk a day may drink 35 to 40 gallons of water daily. For a cow to drink the maximum amount, the water must be acces sible as well as fresh, clean, and at the right temperature. Needless to say water is one of the most important items in the barn and milk room. To produce high quality milk, the cow's udder, the person doing the milking, and all the milking equipment must be clean. Pipeline To Adventure DETROIT (APi?Ten men who inspect pipelines between Detroit and Big Rapids say life can be exciting. Included, have been forest fires and field fires, auto accidents and other emergencies. They've even had to rush expect ant mothers to the hospital. In addition, they have to contend with nervous bulls, goats, and farmers who don't like trespassers. Take Care In Pruning Trees, Shrubs j By ROBERT SCHMIDT The most common question now is: when must I prune my fruit trees, or when must I prune my shrubs? There isn't any hurry about it, so don't let that worry you. In most cases it is best to de lay pruning until the hard freez ing weather is past. This is partic ularly true of rose bushes and figs. Pruning may be done at any time of the year but it is advisable to do it during the dormant season when the plants are not growing and when many fruit trees and shrubs have lost their leaves and you can see what you are doing. The pruning of fruit trees is not just an indiscriminate cutting back of the branches. We prune out un desirable growth and thin out suf ficiently to develop a good crop of high quality fruit. In order to prune a fruit tree intelligently, one should know how it bears its fruit. For example, we know that the grape bears its fruit on new shoots coming from the previous season's wood. Therefore, w% prune away as much of the old non productive wood as possible, leav ing sufficient one year wood to produce a good crop. The apple bears much of its fruit on short fruit spurs which are distributed along the main branches and upper trunk, and also on the terminals of the one year trim. Do not remove these fruit spurs or you will destroy a lot of fruit bearing wood. The peach bears its j fruit directly on last season's growth and therefore may be prun ed quite severely in order to pro mote the production of a good sup ply of young wood each year. Pears should be pruned very little be cause any stimulation of new growth may aid infection by fire blight. In pruning grapevines, especial ly muscadines, many gardeners be come alarmed because the vines "bleed" badly; that is, the sap flows from the cut stems. However, there is no evidence that this bleeding) is harmful to the plant. Bleeding can be reduced by pruning grape vines early in the dormant season, preferably in December or Janu ary. Pruning flowering shrubs in volves similar problems. It is | necessary to know on what wood the flowers are borne in order to know when and how much to prune. Shrubs which bloom very early in the spring, such as spirea and forsythia, should be pruned very little until just after the blooming period. Heavy winter pruning, of such shrubs would re-; move most of the flowering wood. On the other hand, shrubs which bloom in summer on new shoots may be pruned severely if neces sary during the dormant season. Examples of summer blooming shrubs are abelia, crepe myrtle and hybrid tea roses. Therefore, before you start to cut, learn something about the growth and flowering habits of the tree or shrub. You can always re move branches but you cannot put them back. Streptomycin, the lifesaving antibiotic, was discovered by a New Jersey Experiment Station sci entist. The soil micro-organism has many agricultural uses. HIPPO HAS A HOUSING PROBLEM ?SWT* ? ?x* :?W-' : A ONE-YEAR-OiD pigmy hippopotamus from Liberia, "Pudgie" gets a curious appraisal from Betty D'Amore at International Airport in New York. The rare animal was brought to the United States by John Hewston, of Salisbury, Md., who hopes to And "Pudgie" a per manent home in a zoo. When full grown, the pigmy will be about one-tenth the weight of a normal hippopotamus. (International) ? ? - 78.412 ( Signed For " ACP Aid J c With the 1954 Agricultural Con- a servation Program closing soon, 1 approximately 78.412 Tar Heel t farmers have signed up to particl- e pate in the program, according to 1 figures released today by H. V. x Mangum of the state office. Mangum reports, however, that of this figure only 52,112 farmers have qualified for federal cost shar ing by satisfactorily reporting per formance of practices for which prior approval was given. He pointed out that the Agricul tural Conservation Program for this year is still open to all farm ers and urged farmers who have carried out practices to report per formance to the ASC county office manager in the county. Farmers who have not yet completed per formance of previously approved practices were also urged to com plete the practices and report per formance. In Mangum's words, "Conserva tion of the soil and water re sources is so vital to the welfare of the state that we all must do everything we can to see that only good conservation farming prac tices are carried out on the land." Under this year's Agricultural Conservation Program as well as the program planned for next year, conservation practices which help to build up and store potential pro ductive capacity in the soil are be ing stressed. This, Mangum says, is mighty important at this time when hundreds of thousands of acres of North Carolina farm land are being taken out ?f production of allotted crops. "Saving for the future has al ways been a good policy." Mangum said, "but it's still better when ap plied to our life-sustaining top soil!" Want ads brma qnrck reanlu Copper Strike TOMBSTONE.

CLINE - DKAULct company COW TIPS 1. Cow comfort calls for a well ventilated barn and temperature ranging from 45? to 60?. 2. Clean bedding under cow< helps keep cows and milk clean. 3. A few minutes exercise daily in a loafing barn or outside ex ercise lot, helps milk production 4. Clippers used around udders and flanks aids in sanitation and helps control disease. 5. This is the season when lice on cattle are troublesome. For effective control dust on Purina Insect Killer and rub it into the hair. 6. Try Purina Disinfectant as an udder wash. You'll find it easy on udders and hands, and it holds down bacterial count, too. RANGE CHECKERS ARE MIGHTY POPULAR Last winter BUI Plott and Frank Ferguson fed their flock of 46 ewes on Purina Range Checkers plus hay. When lambing time came around their . ewes . had . strong healthy lambs that grew off ex ceptionally well. They also found their ewes gave more milk and remained in better condition all during the suckling period. Then when the lambs were old enough to eat they creep fed thfm with Purina Omalene. They put some top lambs on the market and real ized a nice profit from them. For those of you who missed our Mike and Ike give-away pro gram Saturday we would like to give you their weights ? Mike weighed 226 pounds and Ike weighed 161 pounds. From these weights you can see that by feed ing a good balanced ration a top market hog can be produced in 19 weeks. Purina Hog Fatena will do this kind of job for you. FEED MORE IMPORTANT THAN BLOOD WITH THESE ROWS About 2 years ago Purina He searchers went into the Ozark hills searching for typical "razor back" sows. None of the 8 old I sows they brought back had ever 1 farrowed more than 6 or 7 pigs. > Their average weight was 167 lbs. Placed on the Purina Program, ; these sows had gained an average of 228 lbs by next farrowing time. . The 8 sows farrowed 98 pigs and ? weaned an average of 8.63. When marketed at 165 days of age their ; average weight was 178.17 lbs. I Right around here we've got a good many Purina Program feed ? era who are regularly weaning ' 8' a to 9 pigs per litter and who i are marketing 200-225 lb. hogs in , less than 5'U months from farrow ing. We'd like to show you rec ords on what this program has meant to some of our local feeders. FINAL FREE HOSE REMINDER W? hope no members of our More Eggs Club will Jose out on our offer for Free Hose, but time is running out. The rules state records must be turned in on of-1 ; fieial forms for two consecutive months, either Sopt.-Oct.; Oct. 1 Nov.; or Nov.-Dec. Records must show your Purina fed pullets have averaged not less than 38 eggs each in the 61 day period aaginst a LT. S. average of 26 eggs for the same til days. Final day for ac ceptance of records to qualify for free hose is January 15th. We don't want to disappoint anyone. I HEALTH HINT BETTER LISTEN FOR HEN HOUSE SNEEZES You've heard of people who j sense poultry trouble 3 days be- | fore it's ready to break and whose j prompt action heads it off com- ! I pletely. One good way to check j i your birds is to go to the laying house about nine p.m. and listen a few minutes from the doorway without turning on the lights or disturbing the birds in any way If there are sneezes or wheezes you'd better be at our door when we open next morning calling for Chek-R-Ald. No product we've ever sold equals Chek-R-Ald 'in head ing off respiratorv trouble and in getting birds hack on feed in a hurry. CLINE - BRADLEY CO. Dial GL 6-3181 5 Points. Ilazrlwood tlje w*ssojic A company doesn't just happen to live for 75 years. Usually some one factor, more than others, makes it possible. In the case of Southern Bell, the magic ingredient has been the public's acceptance of good and growing telephone service furnished at the lowest possible cost. Chartered on December 20, 1879, with 1,246 telephones, Southern Bell was formed by men of foresight, with faith in the South's future. Their faith was borne out, and the Company grew to 26,396 telephones by 1900. Since World War II, telephone progress in the South has broken all records: From 1,863,000 telephones at the end of 1945 to over 4,500,000 today, while Long Distance circuits have more than doubled. Such remarkable scientific developments as the transistor, microwave radio-relay and direct operator dialing of Long Distance calls have opened exciting new vistas of service. In the years ahead, the men and women of Southern Bell pledge to keep on furnishing the best possible telephone service at the lowest possible cost. On this, our 75th Anniversary, we express our appreciation for the opportunity of serving you. at*N*? : rm ,m V ?ffc &*&? iV* ^ iVcr5^?n; SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY ? * / t i \ As we celebrate our 75th Anniversary, the # 0S 14 M Telephone Folks wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and ?
