Don't let them get "dead ripe." Make a special effort to get them under.shel ter or in the stack without injury from rain. 2. Cu! grass and rod clover when in full bloom. Much hay is allowed to get too ripe. 4. Keep on planting feed crops corn for silage, cowpeas, peanuts, soy beans, sweet potaloes, etc. ?. Look after the farm machin ery. Mulld a tool shed.

COK.EDM RICHLAN Communication Regarding Poultry Add reseed to Why the South Should bo a Poultry Center. (J. H. Sledd In Poultry Success.) Success is the prime object In any enternrlse. and success Is usually measured by dollars and cents. Tbc profits of the business make the suc cess, and tho profits are the differ ence between tho cost of production and tho selling price. To properly and correctly estimate the cost of production a certain amount must be charged to cost of equipment and a reasonable sum be charged to thc wear and tear or to the deteriora tion of that equipment. Accepting tills as true, let us see what the South has to say as to the cost of equipment In tho poultry business as compared with other sections ol' our country. Thc Land.

Many of these acres are as fertile and would be, properly cultivated, as productive as the far-famed Valley of the Nile. Land can be had In easy access to desirable markets at almost any price ranging from a few dollars per acre up. More, there are thousands of acres of government land yet open for homesteaders In many of our Southern States.

Mere there ls an abundance of pure living water, timber of all kinds and mineral wealth beyond compare. Abundant means of transportation both by rall and by water, with reasonable tariff rates and good markets. Why then not come to a country of such promise? The ?lrst question as to the cost of equipment is easily settled In favor of the South, as the land on which to build can be bought, and on easy terms, mote reasonably by al least one-half than in any oilier section not so favored. Buildings. First let me say that the construc tion of a poultry building for the South ls a much simpler proposition than to build in a less favored clime. We need no double walled or closed houses. Indeed, in the far South there are many who ?ire making a success of the business without any house. They simply enclose a park and place nests and roosting places in suitable places. I know one man in Virginia who did this and ho got eggs all winter and never had a fro zen comb in his flock, and he was a breeder of Mack Minorons. The usual style of house, however, is the open shed. It is built facing the Sou til. both ends and the back are securely boarded up and wire net ting is used for the front. Hough lumber, suitable for such buildings, can be bought at the mills for from $S to $12 por thousand. Many of the farms are so situated that they can haul their own logs to the mill and have their lumber cut. Some times the mills cut one-half for the other half, or they make a cash charge of $t> or $8 for sawing, and they saw to dimensions. Tho hous ing is thou settled in favor of this goodly land. The Markets. The question of a disposition of your product and the prices, of course, has a decided influence on where one shall locate. The gorw lng population makes the demand for poultry and poultry products an ever increasing one, and the ruling Wonderfully meted! y is a source of wonder to medical men. s most learned are capable of understand Ives.

Bell,Wal halla, S. C. prices are Rood. . Eggs can be pro-' duced at a cost of not exceeding six cents por dozen and chicks reared for about threw cents per pound. The average wholesale price of eggs per dozen throughout the South for the past year has boen approximately twenty cents and fowls ten cents per pound, live weight. At times the price has been fifty cents for eggs on the wholesale market, and If ono wills to do so there is never any trouble to work UP a private trade that will gladly pay from five to ten cents moro than tho usual retail price for strictly fresh eggs and well fattened poultry. Then there are several cities where there are large establishments that rehandle both poultry and eggs, and these firms are always ready to make yearly contracts for the entire out put from any yard. Then there is a great market, the greatest in the entire country for good breeding stock at fair prices. There is no lack of market nor of transportation. They, with the soil, cheap building, cheal? labor, and as good people as , inhabit the earth, aro all in favor of this fair land, and then The Climate. Italian skies are no fairer, and the breezes from "Ceylon's spicy Isle" no more entrancing. No vigor ous winds to chill, but a climate most equable. Hut few days in winter when one cannot work out of doors without a coat, and but few in sum mer when the temperature goes be yond DO degrees, and this is always tempered by breezes either from her seagirt shores or elso from her wooded mountains. Hut you say ' your fowls cannot live on climate. Certainly not, but feed stuffs can be had as cheap, or cheaper, than in many other sections. All the ce reals can be grown profitably and the matter of green food ls entirely in the South's favor, as lt grows out of doors all winter and the chicks can do their grazing and exercising at one ind the same time. The South-how wo love "Its ? rocks and rills, Its brooks and shad ed hills"-has a welcome for all, | and In this goodly land tho enter-1 prising poultrymnn will find peace and plenty.

L. Thomason, Ready vllle, Tenn." He did so, and re ceived this answer: "I sold the eggs December 10, 1911; got seventeen cents a dozen.' I use the foregoing to show how tho producer loses by bia product having to pass through so many hands, and how the great mass of the dwellers in our cities and towns are Imposed upon as to the grade of eggs sold them. In this instance tim producer got seven teen cents, the wholesaler, accord ing to the report, got forty-seven cents and the retailer fifty cents, and the purchaser got. "sold"-at least, he paid a good price for fresh eggs two months old. Marketing Eggs and Poultry. Tlie foregoing article reminded us that we have for some time Intend ed to say something on the subject of marketing eggs, as the present method has always struck us as be ing most unfair to the producer. The present local market price. ls 15 cents and has been for some three months. We havo always thought that if the producer could get in touch with the consumer and eliminate the middleman's profit (In some cases two or three of them) a better price could bo realized, and with this object In view we took the matter up with several large hotels in some of our neighboring cities, with the result that ono of them of fered to pay us 25 cents per dozen for all the strictly fresh eggs we could ship them. We have been shipping them all our surplus eggs now for two months and they have netted us from 22 V4 to 23 Ms cents per dozen, which ls a good premium over the local market. Just to show the difference, a commission man in the same city got hold of our name somehow and wrote us offering 14 cents lier dozen for eggs on the same date we had secured 23 cents for a case shipped the hotel. Of course, In order to secure these prices, the producer must have enough to offer to make it worth willie, by either keeping a large enough flock himself or co-operating with neighbors, as they require a high standard of freshness-eggs not over three to four days old. Any one wishing to know more about this write us and we will be glad to give further details. The same applies to marketing hens rind fries. We shipped a coop of liens last week which netted us an average of 55 cents each when 4 0 cents was a good local price. Editors.
