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

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

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. Thrs
lay be accomplished by placing a
oor of planks under the potatoes
nd by building a chimney of planks
trough the stack. Place an elbow

"It Sure Is Wonderful," Declared
Mrs. Murphy, of Columbia,
During Interview.
"Tanlac did me more good than all
the other medicines I took during the
ten years I was iu such had health,
and I took only four bottles," declared
Mrs. Clara Murphy, of 1611
jWhaley St., Columbia, in a statement
she recently gave in endorsement of
'Tanlac.
"I suffered from indigestion in a
very bad chronic form," she continued.
"After meals I felt as if there
were coals of tire in my stomach and
throat. Often I would have bad
spells of thi^ trouble, /leadaehes
| made me mise&ble all thM time, and
my nerves weimin sucl/ bad shape
!that I could not^>st da^y or night.
"Shortness of ma'aUf. which I had
lawfully bad, trowJfed me all the'
[time, and it was v^t uncomfortable. J
I also was bother^iragreat deal with
sleeplessness. yhad\een this way
for about ten years and I had taken
almost every medicine I heard of and
had been un/er treatment of a lot of
doctors, bu/ I did not seem to improve
a bHi.
"We iy>gan reading the Tanlac advertisements
and finally I began
taking it. It sure is a wonderful
medicine, too, Tanlac is. for it suro
did give me great relief. It completely
broke up my indigestion and
I have not been troubled with my
stomach since the first half of my
first hottle of Tanlac was taken. My
appetite is good now?I just cannot
I get enough to eat it seams. Mv
nerves do not trouble me now and 1
do not have headaches any more.
1 "That shortness of breath was
| quickly relieved and the Tanlac
built up my stomach, nerves and my
system generally in a really wonderful
way. I gained nine pounds be-j
I fore the third bottle was gone, and i
have not weighed since. The Tanlac
did me more good than all the
medicines I have taken in ten years,
and I took only four bottles of Tanlac.
"I sleep well now and I feel like
a new person. I am glad to recommend
Tanlac, too, whenever I have
the chance. It sure is a wonderful
jmedlcine and It made a new person
of me. I have done all I can to get
all the sickly people near here to
take Tanlac, and a number of them
iwere also greatly aided by It."
