TREATMENT FOR SCALY LEGS Affection Is Common Among Chickens .and ls Caused b> an Ex tremely Small Mite. Scaly leg of poultry is a common aad well-known affection of chickens that sometimes causes affected birds to become worthless. It is caused by an extremely small mite that works in and under the crusts that form on the legs. Caraway or sulphur olnt ment will kill the pests. Scales form Bad Case of Scaly Leg. -at t&e point of invasion of the insect, and under them the skin Is irritated and bloody. Badly affected birds walk with difficulty, and > may even lose a toe; later they become thin, lose their appetites and prove worth less. To treat scaly leg the feet and legs ?of affected fowls are held in warm water for several minutes, so that the .crusts are softened and can be re moved.' A mite killer fs then applied to the dry diseased surface. The fol lowing mixtures are recommended: 1. O? of caraway, mixed in four times as much lard or vaseline; or 2, flow ers of sulphur, one dram; carbonate of potash, 20 grains ; and lard or vas eline, half ari ounce. Some poultry men-have used a. mixture of one part of kerosene and two parts of raw lin seed oil ^with speedy effect. The legs of the affected fowls are dipped in this mixture, care being taken that the feathers are not wet. GARBAGE FED SUCCESSFULLY District of Columbia Poultry Farm Reports Excellent Results From Waste Material. A poultry farm In the District of Columbia which handles about 1,000 fowls reports excellent results from the use of well-selected garbage. This material Is hauled twice a day and fed to the birds about ten o'clock In the morning and again during the middle of the afternoon so that the table scraps are fed. fresh only two or three hours after they are discard ed from the kitchen. The feeding method of this poultryman Is to scat ter the garbage on the grass in such .quantities that the fowls will clean up all the refuse. He rotates these feed ing spots In Such a way that no con tamination results. The outstanding feature of the success of this poultry man is centralized in his painstaking selection of the garbage and the elim ination of all objectionable material. Profitable returns have resulted also from the feeding of garbage to fattening cockerels and old hens. A small flock of turkeys is maintained on this farm and The gobblers gobble thei^ way to a frbnt line position ?when garbage lunch time rolls around. The turkeys keenly relish the table scraps and abandon tender grasshop pers and succulent alfalfa In order to scamper to the feeding spots when the garbage wagon approaches. RAISE CHICKENS FQR PROFIT Besides Furnishing Supply of Eggs and Meat for Family Some Can Be Marketed. Raise more chickens. Besides fur nishing meat and eggs for the family a good flock of hens will lay eggs to sell. It costs little to get a good lock started ; they live largely on waste for a good part of the year and do not require a large acreage of cleared land for their keep. Ask your growing chicks if they like clean, fresh water. . . . The loss from lice and mites is more than their weight in gold. * . * The growing chicks are calling for green feed. Give them plenty. * * * High producing hens are often wedge-shaped with point in front. . * ? Nature Stimulutes in the spring.

Anti-Saloon League De clares Certain Judges Greatest Obstacle to ' Enforcement. .New Orleans, Dec. 3.-That en forcement of the eighteenth amend ment is being hampered by certain federal judges," Dr. Baker is quoted try was the quoted declaration of Dr. P. A. 3aker, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, who ar rived here today to attend the law enforcement conference of the league. "The greatest obstacle to law en forcement in this country at the pres ent time is about 20 per cent of the f ederal judges," Dh. Baker is quoted as having said. "They are men who ought to be impeached." He declared that the Anti-Saloon League had so far contemplated no action in an attempt to secure im peachment proceedings against judges included in this category but added "that the time is coming when con gress will define just what is good behaviour on the part of a federal judge under which he could hold his life tenure of office." "About 10 per cent of these judges are an absolute disgrace to the bench," Dr. Baker is credited with having said. "They protect bootleg legs and men trying ito nullify the law. Their sentences to these violators simply breed more violations. "If I had my way I would put the federal judges who do not enforce the law in the penitentiary at hard labor. Other officials who violate their oaths to enforce the law I would put in the same place because they are a menace to the country." After declaring in his address that 20 per cent of the federal judges of the country were obstructing enforce ment of the prohibition law, Dr. Ba ker said : "These scoundrels who sit on the bench, and I use the term advisedly, assess fines on law violators which are just like fishing a pickpocket, and then turning him loose on the crowd to collect the fine. I hold them responsible for the shooting down of 300 splendid law enforcement officers during the past year." He declared that the public official who does not keep his oath to enforce the law is a perjurer and should be prosecuted. "I would not take the places of some newspaper editors and managers on judgment day for anything in the world for they are going to have a hard time," he said. "The eighteenth amendment is nailed down and the nail, is the nine teenth amendment which gave the women the right to vote," he assert ed. "The Volstead act will never be changed for the congress just elected is dryer than the one goi.ig out." J. A. White, Ohio superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League also spoke at tonight's' session. Important Points in Eiutchering Clemson College, Dec. 4.-Along with the first cold spell come thoughts of butchering time. Nim? important steps iii killing hogs which make the work easier and produce better pork are suggested by D. T. Herrman, Ex tension Swine' Specialist. 1. Select only those hogs which are in good health and are gaining in flesh. Hogs which are losing flesh make poor meat. The weight and con dition at which to kill depends on whether you prefer large or small cuts of pork and whether you want a fat, or a lean carcass. Most farmers kill heavy, fat hogs, but the packers put a premium on hogs in medium flesh weighing around 200 to 225 pounds. 2. Keep the hogs off feed for at least 24 hours before killing and keep them quiet but provide them with all the water they will drink. This clears the system of food, facilitates bleed ing, and lessens some danger in clean ing. Hogs that are excited before killing dress out a dark red carcass, and if they are whipped or bruised in any way, the bruised spote must be trimmed out. .3. In sticking avoid slacking the shoulder, for this causes the blood to clot and means a waste in trimming. Place the hog flat on his back, make a longitudinal incision in thc; neck, in sert the knife 3 or 4 inche?, with the cutting edge towards the breast bone, raise the point of the knife up against the breast bone and withdraw. Then lay the hog on his side to bleed out.' Do not drag the carcass over the ground, as this bruises the meat. 4. Scald 1% to 2 minutes with water 145 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Water hotter than this makes the hair set if the hog is left in water more than one minute. Water much cooler than this requires too much soaking to loosen the hairs. If you have no thermometer, stick your fin ger into the water three times in rap id succession. If the third time is a little too hot for comfort the water THE SPACIOUS The spacious firmament o; With all the blue '( And spangled heavens, a \ Their great Origin Th' unwearied sun, from c Does his Creator's And publishes to every lai The work of an i Soon as the evening shad< The moon takes u; And, nightly, to the listen Repeats the story With all the stars that roi And all the plane Confirm the tidings as th( And spread the tri What though, in solemn si Move round the di What though no real voice Amid their radian!

Dare to do right! Dare to . Other men's failu Stand by your conscience, Stand like a hero, is about right. Remove the hair from the legs, ears and head first as these cool most rapidly. A teaspoonful of lye or a small shovelful of wood ashes to 30 gallons of water will help loosen the scurf. Remove as much hair as possible with the scraper, because all hair that is shaved off will stand out when the pork is cured. 5. In removing the intestines use the left hand inserted between the intestines and the mesi to guide the knife and keep the intestines from be ing cut. . 6. Wash the carcass thoroughly both ins-.de and out. 7. Either remove the leaf fat en tirely or loosen it and allow it to hang by the upper end. This facili tates cooling. 8. Split the carcass down the mid dle of the backbone-not on either side as is often done, for this is a needless waste--and on down through the head. In the South it is a common practice to cut the flanks away from the hams, but in doing this care must be taken not to cut into the ham. These practices hasten thorough cool ing. 9. Never cut up the carcass until it has had time to cool thoroughly. ? Hymns Taken From Rev. A. T. Allen's Calendar of last Sunday. Hymn 729 All hail the power of Jesus' name, Let angels prostrate fall! Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all! Let every kindred, ev'ry tribe, On this terrestrial ball, To Him all majesty ascribe And crown Him Lord of all! Oh, that with yonder sacred throng We at His feet may fall! We'll join the everlasting song And crown Him Lord of all! Hymn 719 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee; E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone ; Yet in my dreams I'd be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. There let the way appear, 'Steps unto heav'n; All that Thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon 'me, Nearer, my Cod, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Hymn 654 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteous ness; 1 dare not trust the sweetest frame But wholly lean on Jesus' name. (Chorus) On Christ, the Solid Rock I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand. His oath, His covenant, His blood, Support me in the whelming flood; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.

The creameries in South Car olina are paying for cream on ap proximately this Dasis, yet not many of them are getting enough cream to pay overhead expenses. If you have 3 to 10 cows why not sell cream to one of these plants? asks J. P. LaMaster, ' Chief of the Dairy Division, who says that you can do so without expending much money to start. Ten average cows producing two gallons of milk each per day will return you a cream check of $100 to $120 per month at present prices. Butter is not likely to go mn ch lower in price before grass comes next spring. Then of course you can produce it cheaper and the profits will range in about the same proportions. A regular cream check each month will fortify you and your family against the losses due to the ravages of the boll weevil. When you realize that South 'Caro lina needs 240,000 more milk cows before it can furnish the dairy prod ucts needed by the rural population, it is evident that cream production for butter-making can not be over done for many, many years, even if every farm in the state produces a surplus.
