fl? WITH THE Poultry Nott?s. i Clemson College, S. (\. Oct. 2 7. < Early in the fall the house shou'd.i be given'a thorough cleaning. Fall j cleaning rids the premises of lice . and mites, an?l will make the work , of fighting these pests much less the : following spring and summer. The . house should be given a good coating of whitewash. Whitewash is rot only a good disinfectant, but it ] makes the house lighter during the short, dark days of fall and winter. Milk is a good feed for hens. Give all the milk they will consume. The urns win 1101 only lav well run will ke'p in a strong vigorous state of , health. ( The advantage of keeping one , breed of poultry is that one can mar- , ket a uniform product in eggs and stock. While the weather is still dry, the poltrvman should store away several barrels of road dust to be used in the dust boxes during the * winter months. Bran is an excellent poultry food. 1 It is not only richer in protein than 1 the ordinary grains but is also rich in ash. the element that enters ' largely in the formation of bone and * egg shell. Tobacco stems make the best nest- ' ing material for the reason that lice and mites cannot stand the odor of tobacco. When stems are used they should Vie lightly covert a with straw or excelsior to make ti.ei 1 softer and j to keep the eggs from coming in con tact with them. I ( Cull your flock as the chickens , grow. When you note a particularly t promising specimen that is full of s life and vigor and growing all the s time, leg band it and note how it f develops. You ought to know your best breeders from chlckenhood to rj maturity. It pays. The Dairy Cow and the Grocery Bill, j Clemson College, S. C., Oct. 21.? How many farmers in South Carolina j necessarily have to mortgage a part of their prospective crops in order to obtain groceries for their tables r and other household necessities evc erv vear? n How many farmers necessarily . have to let their grocery bills run p for six or eight months at a time, or more, because thev are depend .u * ' uiuiic u|liiii nit; iirJl UUUOn (TDp ] or tobacco crop? Either one of these crops mav prove entirely satisfactory if combined with the "old spotted cow."| Of course it must be the right sort . of cow else you are still headed for the rocks. An experienced farm machinery collector once said: "Show me a farm which does not have cows and chickens around the lots and pastures and I will show you a farmer who owes a grocery bill." I Those farmers who have a few cows about the place to take care of the grocery bill, either in the form of cream checks or butter money, . can well understand the advantages , of such business, and as a rule are' I ^ the most successful farmers. Why don't you try it? A Whitewash That Won't Kuh OfT. Clemson College, S. C., Oct. 27.? whitewash is so commonly used > around the farm that it is advisable s to know Just how to make it prop- n erly. The following receipt for a I cement whitewash is made use of s by owners of cold-storage ware- b houses who desire a snowy white a wash that dries quickly, adheres ii strongly to cement, brick or wood, b and does not rub off on the clothes, s Slake one-half bushel of lime with tl boiling water, adding the water p slowly and stirring constantly until tl a thin paste results. A 5-foot piece f of 3-4 inch iron pipe makes a good II rod for stirring. The lime will be h lumpy if the water is added freely ii and the mass is not properly stirred, si Adrt ono-hnlf norW i?f unlf tn )>? limn V. paste; stir thoroughly; add water to bring the whitewash to the proper b consistency. Throw a good handful p of Portland cement in each pail of si whitewash, and a teaspoonful of tl ultramarine blue. Add the cement J' end the blue powder just before the t< wash is to be used and stir in well, v otherwise the whitewash will be g streaked. The cement makes the n whitewash adhere strongly to any surface, and the bluing counteracts tl the grayish color of the cement and tl results in a white appearance. n _____ fl liaise Wheat for Flour. ^ Clemson College. 8. C., Oct. 27.^ Q With flour selling on the market c< now for $9.75 per barrel, every 0 farmer should be thinking of rals- g log at least enough wheat to make floor to fill his own needs. That f wheat can be profitably raised in e South Carolina has been clearly o shown by the large crops raised in ? L T] ~" i farmers") he past few years, so there no longer remains an excuse for farmers tot planting it. While the land may be broken to idvantage. in most instance; it fthould be fairly compact below and friable on top. Hence, plowing should be done several weeks in advance of planting. Wheat should never be seeded on cloddy or roueh land if good results are expected. Many experiments have shown drilling is better than broadcasting and that the shoe drill, disk drill and hoe drill are all about equally good for seeding. Except on very heavy or wet soils it is well to have the drill provided with press wheels. The proper depth for planting wheat Is about 2 or 3 inches. Blue stem Is the most popular variety for planting in this section, though Leap's Prolific and Red May are good varieties and do well under pur conditions. ?Even though you have never planted wheat before, it is very important that you should plant it thts vear in order to forestall the high price of flour. At least plant enough o make flour to last you for one ?*ear. This need not be a large patch. A (iood Sized Farm Pays lies), C'lemson College, S. C., Oct. 27. Vccording to a recent bulletin pub ished by the Experiment Station of Missouri on a study of successful 'arm organization, the first factor inticed was that a good farm income equires a good-sized business, which hould include three things, ( 1 > a lufticient number of acres for the ;reatest efficiency in the use of men ind tools. (2) the proper amount' nd distribution of capital, and (3 1 . system of farming which makes the treatest possible percentage of its abor productive. These things nean that the business should be arge enough so that horses, tools, tnd men will be supplied with a full izer job, but not so large that it is lecessary to duplicate in machinery ir work stock by adding some that ire not kept busy. That the capital nvested in land and improvements hould be based on the quality of he land and on the efficiency of he buildings and improvements; and hat as much of the labor as possl>le should he expended on things hat will bring in cash returns of ome kind. Other important factors revealed >y this study were that the business should be a liigh-qualitys busines ind that there should he reasonable liversity. By a high-quality busi less is meant the lands should proluce as large crops as possible, and hat live stock should give as good eturns as possible for the feeding ind labor given to it. Reasonable liversity means that the farmer iliould not put all his eggs in one basket. He should havte at least hree important sources ot" income ind probably not more than six ources. Handling Sweet Potatoes. Clemson, College. S. C., Oct. 27.? I Tuch of the loss usually incident to | toring sweet potatoes In the stack nay be avoided by careful handling, n plowing up the roots the plow hould go well enough under them o turn them up without bruising, nd when the potatoes are loaded nto baskets, barrels or the wagoned. instead of being pitched, they hould be laid in with the same care hat would be used in handling aples. Bruised potatoes are always, he first to rot. and the rot spreads rom them to the sound potatoes.1 f there arc no hriused potatoes the iss from rot is reduced to a min ' num. In making the stack thej anie care should be exercised to noij ruise the tubers. The roots should bo dug on a dry right day and should be left exosed for several hours. They hould not he dug, however, unti> fiey are mature. If the vines are in ured by frost a-.d it is not possible > harvest the potatoes at once, the ines should be ehopped off at the round so that in rotting they will ot carry the decay to too roots. Stacks should be so arranged that tiey will stay dry and at the same Imo will be well ventilated.
