CHEAP WIRING FOR . HOME NOT GOOD| Electrification of a farm’ home can be a bitter disappointment—if the wiring is unsafe and inade quate. The disappointment is particular ly hard to bear if the family has made a sacrifice to install electrici ty, said D. E. Jones, Extension ag ricultural engineer at State College.. Yet families who have to make a sacrifice are often the ones which wire their homes improperly in their effort to cut down the ex pense, Jones continued. ! No house should be wired until the family has given a great deal of thought to the uses that will be made of electric current at present and in the future. 1 Then the advice of a competent electrician should be sought to de-, termine the type of wiring that will give the greatest benefits, Jones poined out. Even though only a few lights and appliances will be used at first, he went on, it is especially import ant to remember that from time to time the family will wish to aid new equipment The wiring should be adequate to carry all the current that will be needed, and the wires should be so located as to provide sockets and outlqts at all points where lights and appliances will be used. Jones stated that he has yet to find a family that thought it had too many sockets and outlets. Most of them feel that if they had the job to do over, they would put in morq than they have. The convenient location of switch es is another factor vital to the full est enjoyment and use of electric power in the farm home. Jones lamphasized that although it may cost a little more to put in adequate wiring, it is much cheap er to do it right the first time than to tear out improperly installed wires and do the job over again. WATER COWS AFTER FEEDING Two-thirds of the watfcr that a cow will drink using water bowls is consumed within three hours af ter each feeding, according to the report made at the annual meet ing, according to the report made at the annual meeting of the Amer ican Dairy Science Association. They believe that this may account for the somewhat greater flow of milk stocured from such cows than «from those that are habitually Jf' watered at the tank after feeding in the morning. Where drinking cups are not available, they sug gest watering after feeding each time in order to secure more milk from the herd. o Outbreaks of hog cholera have been reported in various parts of Wilson County and farmers are vaccinating their animals to stem the outbreak. our prescriptions Make Roxboro Your Tobacco Headquarters r!T!iT77 are compounded liver anywhere in from fresh pure h A I TL ft I Roxboro.

FARM QUESTIONS I ANSWERED Question: Is a grain ration neces sary for a dairy cow during her dry period? Answer: If plenty of good pas ture is available and the animal is in good flesh no other feed will be ! necessary. Howvfcer, the cow should have free access to a suitable min eral mixture, unless the grazing is legume crops or a legume hay is being fb(d. If pasture is short or the cow is in poor flesh enough I conoentrate should be fed to put the animal in good flesh before freshening. Where concentrates are added, all high protein grains and most of the corn is removed from I the ration about two weeks before freshening. A good grain mixture to feed during this period is compos ed of equal parts of wheat bran and ground oats. Question: How can I rid my poul try flock of lice? Answer: Probably the most effec tive delousing product is sodium flourkle. This may be secured at any drug store and can be applied in three ways. First, by the pinch method, second, by dusting,' and third by dipping. Dipping is prob ably the most economical method as it requires much less material and time. One, ounce of the sodium flouride is used to each gallon of tepid water. Hold the wings over the back and dip the birds feet first until only the heads are out of the solution. Ruffle the feathers tho roughly with the free hand to in sure penetration of the fluid to the skin. The head should also be duck ed a few times during the opera tion. Thq birds should be dipped at such times as to allow them to dry thoroughly before going to roost.

He averts that the biggest camp meet ing ever held was stagey in Ken tucky about a century ago, when 17 preachers got sinners told dur ing six days and nights. Emotional excitement became so great that “3,000 fainted and 500 others jerked and barked.” tatoes? Answer: The temperature for best results should be from 80 to 85 degrees. This should be continu ed until the sprouts begin to ap pear, which usually requires about two wqeks. After this curing period, the storage temperature should be lowered to 50 degrees and kept at that point until removed for ship ment or use. The! temperature should never be allowed to go be low 40 degrees nor above 50 as high temperature during the stor age period causes excess shrinkage. ❖ See New Anchor Kolstoker now on display at ❖ CENTRAL SERVICE CORPORATION r ANCHOR KOLSTOKER 7 INFORMATION GIAPI7 GIVEN ROTATE STOCK IN PASTURE Rotating stock on pasture in creases production, eliminates waste and makqs better sods.
