POULTRY SHIPPERS SAVE MUCH MONEY A report prepared Ivy V. W. I.ewls, live stock marketing specialist for the North Carolina state division of mar kids, shows that those poultry kroner* of North Carolina \\iio took advantage of tlie od-operallve oarlot shipments of poultry ami eggs thin spring saved n total of S2,S,n78,48. The sltipiuents lagan on March 2(1 and closed on June 20. During that time, through the efforts of the home and farm demonstration mien's of Stute college, the teachers of agrieul ture Ui the high schools mid the mar keting specialists, 4U4.2.8fi pounds of poultry and 8,151 eases of eggs were shipped. In addition to the eggs shipped a total of H.fiftO eases were stored In a cold storage plant In Wil mington to await the higher prices o( the winter months. Mr, I.ewls says: "When we he gnn this work, live hens were selling In the territory Indicated at from 17 to 20 cents per pound and only In a few Instances did the producers get as much as 20 cents. All hut six ears of this poultry -brought n price of from 22 to 25 cents per pound at the ear door." Farmers taking part In this move ment saved at least 4 cents per pound hy selling co-operatively in addition to the fact of having a market brought to their home towns. The movement spread and some counties made ship ments not included in the amount given. Vance county, for Instance, made two shipments In eo operation with tlie marketing agents of a rail read; Rutherford county sbtpil‘>|l 43, 741 pounds and the Farmers’ federa tion of Asheville shipped 190,000 pounds. Indications sre that this movement will grow in volume and Importance In 192*1 and Ml1. I.ewls states that* there Is now no longer any excuse for growers not making money with poul try. All that Is needed, lie says, Is for tlie producers to get behind seme or ganized movement lo help thcmselve*. Prevention of Disease Most Profitable Plan l When one goes Into a chicken f house' and hears the birds singing, It j Is n pleasant contrast to the appear- « aneo of a lloek that Is droopy, with j pale combs and Indicating a general I unhealthy condition. The dt(Terence | In the majority of cases Is not due to i one producer curing the disease and the other not curing It, but rather to I the fact that one breeder prevents | the trouble that Is^tffocNng the other j person’s flock. Most eases of roup and similar con tagious diseases are the result of the I disease being brought to the farm with | new fowls which were not Isolated ! until they had I>een proved to be healthy. Sometimes the disease comes from an outbreak of u previous at tnek after which the premises were not properly cleaned up and dlsfh feeted. Lice and mites enn do a great amount of harm If they'have I heir own way. The good poultryman doeo not wait ittitll they get n strong foot hold, In the flock, but curries on n preventive war on Mich pests. Under such conditions pests never cause a serious loss. Most of the trouhle from worms and a good deal of the trouhle front cocohlusls can he eliminated by rais ing the flock on fresh ground each yean If It Is not possible to have fresh ground the next l est thing la.to clean up fmiuently ami use lime free* ly In keeping the ground sweet and free tvs possible from genu life. Poultry Hints Oatmeal and all that sort Of food Is no good for darks or go»se. Keep all this sticky sttiiT away from them. • • • Because chickens seem to drink only nu occasional teuspoonful of water Is no reason for thinking that they don’t need • any water. * • • If broody liens are shut up the first night they are discovered they can be broken up eanlw than If left on tlto nest-for several days. • * * Keeping the house free of mites by use of n good coal-tar disinfectant In a strong mixture and the pullets free from lice by sodium fluoride will lie a big help. • • • Laying liens need green food In sum mer us well as winter. If you neglect ed this when you planted your garden, why not try a row or tv»o of swIss chard und maybe a little rape. • • • One of the best vr«yst of destroying the bacteria that bother |i»mltry Is to put the yards under cultivation. Iu addition, the seeding of the yards Is very important from the standpoint of furnishing green stuff for the fowls. • • • When hens are well fed, but extreme ly fat and do not lay, either the feed ia not of a balanced character or the hena are natural beefers— meaning that their disposition is to acquire fat rather than t» convert wliat they case soma into eggs. Sincerity is valueless unless you get since about something worth while I An Assault On Alimony. Milwaukee Journal. Ik tht* equal rights movement about to destroy the alimony clubs? A New York supreme Court justice has an nounced that hereafter he will grant no alimony to a woman asking for divorce unless she is a mother or is I incapacitated to support her self. He holds that a man is no longer in duty bound to support the woman who has taken his name hut will no longer ! keep his home; that, instead, she should earn her own living. Probablv the learned justice's opin ion will not be generally accepted for a long time to come. Kor the theory that a man assumes certain obliga tions in the marriage union from which he is never released is pretty thoroughly grounded in practice. But the id pa is interesting as showing the marked changes that are coming about in the status of woman. She has made her bid to be an equal in all things and finds many old prero gatives slipping. Now about the only tangible asset of the divorce mill, her weekly alimony, 5.-. impeded. Will site lit* willing to accept this loss in order to gain the "emancipation"’ she seeks? No doubt there are many women who unhesitatingly would say, “Yes.” And those who wouldn’t might think twice, under the no-alimony rule, before they start a divorce pro ceeding.
