C. \ “ANY MAN THATCREDITS OUT HIS GOODS IS A DAMN FO L” \ All of us know the country merchant. They are a very use ful class of citizen. It is said that the average country merch aht has tp feed an average of 80 fafnilielr els&fiis own family will starve. And there certainly would be many families that would starve if it were not for the home merchant. Some folks seem to think the home merch ants are running relief offices instead of stores. Once there was a town mer chant that was about to go broke - because he had credited out his -—-goods to the ' Tom-Dick- Barry riff raff of the world. He moved i away back into the sticks over f miles of muddy roads where few could reach him. He hung two signs over his door. One said “Genera^Store” and the other" spjd, man whd credits out his goods is a damn fool." It wasn’t long until this enterphs | own His bad accounts | were not increasing'one bit—his bills either. He had a good cow * and a corn and tater patcff *nd a g - hog and a mule. His folks all .I worked hard on the farm while « he sold a few goods to a few t honest, hardworking natives who j all paid him. “ s One day a stranger found this a store in the wild woods and, he 1 was surprised and said, “Why { man, what in the world are you y doing with a store away" Out f here?” “I had to conge here to c get away from the rascals so I f could keep what little I had left, ” ‘r ■aid the merchant. % r —O— t This story reminds us that the 1 plan of the merchant of the t woods, while it may have proved f safe, sound and wise in his-busi- k ness, has not done The Edwards c Printing Company much .good. 1 We are located away out in the 1 mountains where it is wild and . bare and where neighbors are t normally reliable, tho’ they do t not buy our products. But ras- c cals . irresponsibles, never-do- ” wells, get rich-quick crooks— \ they find us out. They lurk like [ buzzards on the horizon. We can’t Hide from them. They are ■» the Nemesis of- all small profess- ( : ional men and stores. It iis sad t that so many of us have to suffer i. as victims of such vile trash. ? . .Os course we mean no reflection • on our many reliable customers. ( •' O.- a HE’LL FIND OUT 1 The Brawns were standing on 1 the balcony of the seaside hotel, and couldn't help hearing what the 1 young couple in the garden below c were saying.' „ . % v Mrs. Brown turned to- her hus- t band. “-* v “I think he’s going to propose, U and v;e shouldn’t be* listening. Just r hang around the nests and as soon as a hen would off of a nest swoop down on the nest and get the egg. before the hens could get to it; and even then sometimes the hens would beat us to the goal. This state of affairs soon became rather serious for we needed 'the eggs to set and also had orders for eggs for hatching. We fed she birds oyster shell, grit and charcoal. Then we increased the , protein in the rations by adding more meat scrap. We gave them milk in liquid form and used, some semi solid daubed along the sides of the house, for the hens to pick at. hung up of meat for them to pick at and gave them plenty or green feed,, Turning them into larger years where they would have more range was also tried, but., still they would wait for the next jegff'to.be laid. Finally, from some source wc either heard some one; recommend that the nests be darkened Or thought, of -it ourselves. We im mediately tore down every nest in the pen and placed them under the dropping boards. Then we arrang ed curtains from burlap bogs and hung around the bottoms of the boards until they came within a feW inches of the floor. A few slits were placed in the bottoms to allow the hen§ to creep through the curtains and our troubles were over. The hens would go into the darkened place beneath the drop ping boards and hunt out the, nests and lay and apparently forget about hunting for eggs tn eat. Therefore, we feel that the arran gement is the one best bet for pre /ention of the habit of eating eggs. We believe, however, that the hens -that have plenty of oyster . shell, grit and • green feed will not likely eat the eggs so readily as the hens that are deprived of these things But often a broken egg in the nests | -or one on the floor will start one j - more of the hens in the habit .and i£ soon spreads. But the darkened nests is a grea,t preventative and the hens seem to enjoy eggs in a secluded place CAnabilism tin •WSmjbilism can usually be atfnb-r uted; to close confinement and the , one best ways to prevent it is tc. give the thicks more outdoor range. This is not .always possible.' how ever, andAt is not always possible to give them even more indoor 1 space. One thing that will; often help is to give them more hopper space so that they may all have access to plenty of feed as all times. Both grain and mash should be be fore the chicks and plenty of grit of the proper size. Milk often helps. - Semi-solid buttermilk placed where they may pick at it J often helps some also., Greetv feed, like poultry, cabbage, . swiss chard, clover or alfalfa tied in : bundles or placed in some kind' 6f 1 rack where they cannot get it loose but must pick *he leaves as they ; tear them from the bunches will ofteip help. When the blood shows, i through the ends- of the small pin feathers on white breeds especially, however, it is hard to keep ... the chicks from, starting picking. Once . they have started picking it is hard | to §top them. Some have used windows pointed red to help over- . come-the trouble by making the en tire surroundings seem red and thereby keep the -birds from dis covering the, red pin feathers, j Then in. battery hrooders some • poultrymen have found that it was only possible to prevent the. trouble by keeping the coops ;in semi-dark- ] ness.. • * ■ . [ There are several preparations ! on the market that wifi serve to stop the practice.' One such preparation ’ is made up from vaseline, lard or some form of grease to which is ' added „bitter aloes mixed with some form of vegetable coloring or pake j of the bitterest' substances known ‘ c and will. soon discourage the chicks from nicking. Yous druggist can c tell you how 40 proportion the *• mixture. • '. 3 . Odr own best "discovery along l this line was the use of the roofing cement that comes in a trin can along with a roll of rubber ropfing. , Most of the people who" recommend, tar will recommend pine tar. But ’ we found the . tar or cement in the ' middle of the rolls of roofing is stiekier . and spreads easier and ; really disepurages canabilism. In t some instances it is necessary to not mh give all the feeds recommended £ Jarken the houses, wheri confined \ to the buildings," give more room , md.hopper space grid still paint rj 1:. • - •. * -.■ ■» do all possible ’to prevent -the] troubled One thing that often helps' is using a “humidifier” for placing more moisture in the. room and also ! : a Well balanced diet that will assist in the growing of feathers quickly 1 so that the jed pih feathers will not be exposed so tong before full feath ering. More natural conditions 6f brooding is the best answers in all iaseS. We seldom see chicks rais ed by thfi old mother hen on free range resorting to capabilism. TRAVELING PRINTERS’ , - AGEN'TS -., We often have our customers tell us how they got licked by sales men selling printing jobs. Here will come a smooth fellow with a jig sample book showing a thous and and one samples of printed obs, such as rainbow colored stick :rs, Ugs, tickets and whatever you isk for. *The prices are wonder billy cheap, something like 10,000 :olored stickers for $3 and letter heads $2.95 per M. You pay Mr. Agent $1 down (which -is commis ,ion) and the stuff comes balance 3. O. D. You simply can’t buy tnything from these agents in way of type styles or paper except what they offer you. —-They call it 'standardized jobs.” Only about me third of the buyers are satisfied with the jobs when they come. Many send the job back tc the big city where it came from. A man told us: recently, “I bought several jobs from an agent selling for some name sounding like Craz er & Flair and I got cheated on nearly all them.

SHEPHERD M. DUGGER It is with much regret that we read in many papers the news of the death of Shepherd Munroe Dugger, the noted author and writ- . er of the character and history of the Southern Mountains. It is said of him, visitors to Banner Elk al ways consulted him for information on the mountains. In all the moun tains there was only one Shepherd M. Dugger. A mountain man all his life, he was a spokesman for the mountains welcoming all impro vements and changes, but standing four square for the inherent virtues of the mountains and their people. Mr. Dugger was a personal friend of the Editor of the Post. When we were printing the “Romance of * the Siamese Twins”, one of his last bpqlts, he took great pleasure of sit ting beside us watching the mats fall as we set the type. He was spending the summer at our home and spe,nt the afternoons in bed as be was then growing weak. When asked if -we should run an extra 1000 copies of the book, he- replied, “No, the&e will be sufficient as I only expect to last at best two or three tnore years.” That was two and k half years ago.« Readers of the “War Trails of the Blue’Ridge" find a passage where Mr. Dugger in describing the battle! or the spent it lonfr timp in f Kic „._. • I , (^^ —- j —..

C. ■ ■ ; - gectric Cold Storage Keepi Farm Produce Always FresH T ; J¥»tlj a cold storage room, market- By IRA MILLER - Rural Electrificatfcn Bureau ALTHOUGH an electric refrigera tor is considered a hot-weather necessity on practically every farm having high-line power, its capacity naturally is limited to the food which the household will consume ip a rela tively short period of time. The prob lem of safely storing excess meats, poultry, eggs, dairy products* fruits and vegetables for future use! or to sell at higher markets, is one that mpst be solved in some other way. *• Cold cellars and similar makeshifts are unsafe for meats and poultry and i result in much spoilage and loss in quality of practically all other prod uce. Orj dairy fafcms which are so equipped, the “walk-in’! type of mflk cooler generally is sufficiently large to, provide ample storage space for all family needs and, frequently, so» marketable surpluses as well. | Community cold storage plants are being built in ever-increasing num bers but some of them have certain disadvantages especially in so far as the fruit and truck farmer is con cerne* The average locker may be „ 100 small to permit the keeping of more than a nominal quantity offood siderably below freezing touT caus “f I®* crystals to form in the cells which, when thawed, results in soft, flabby fruits and vegetables; and the customer usually must deliver and sinuj .Tt - ■fresh produce It available all year. withdraw the produce h’ .nself, thus necessitating repeatedSlW often long trips. , ; , ; The best solution-isto Install an electrically-powered cold storage cabinet or room on the farm where it not only is immediately available but also where temperature and moisture can be accurately controlled i to fit conditions. If not too large, the 1 cabinet can be purchased ready made, ; built to order at the factory or con structed on the farm with the help of an experienced carpenter. Large sto rage rooms naturally must be erected on the farm. Including the refrigerating unit and cabinet or room, walk-in cold storage will cost approximately *5.00 to s6.os; per cubic foot of space If buiH on the farm and SB.OO to SB.OO if purchased ready made or built to order. At three cents per kw.-hr., the average power cost throughout the year for these refrigerators fe about SB.OO per month for each 100 square feet of out- * side area—rmich cheaper than any; other means of safe and satisfactory ooollng.
