Exeriments have shown that young chickens can be grown more cheaply to the frying age than the game amount of meat can be purchased. This is under normal conditions and prices, but with the abnormal con i dl&ons mat we uxt*e iX L tlic jk/1 ^ov**w time, there is no question but that it will pay everyone to greatly in crease the production of chickens this year. Many people have the erroneous impression that t is impossible to hatch and rear chickens successfully in the summer months. They say that ^heir^chftkens st^nd around and "go to sleep," that the majority of them die and that the summer rais ing of poultry Is unprofitable. The ma?n rpjLRnn why the chickens "go to sleep" is that they are not receiv ing, a sufficient amount of animal food or protein. Whenever chick ens look sleepy or droop their wings, feed them more cottonseed meal, velvet bean meal, pea meal, soy bean meal, peanut meal, or meat scraps. One or the best rooas ior j chickens. is to give every day one i meal of cut up meat after it has been cooked. You can throw the table scraps to them, containing small pieces of meat, or you can buy a com ! me-rciaj product which is known as beef scraps of cut-<ip cooked meat or meat scraps your chickens will loos entirely different. They will recover from their sleepy appearance and will grow healthy and strong. If you feed your young chicken/ a sufficient amount of protein, as above advised, and also provide them with shade in the summer months, it is possible to hatch chickens through the summer and also, early fall, in from 10 to 12 weeks these chicks can be killed and eaten, and they will pro vide a substantial part of the meat diet of the household. The cost of ~ Kir TV?hV Chicks U16 IUUU C JUO u uiuu uj j until they are ten weeks of age should 'not exceed 10 cents each. Give the baby chicks all the scraps from the i table, moistening the bread with a ] little sweet or sour milk and thicken ing the hominy and vegetables wltn meal. If you desire to obtain the great est profit and pleasure from the chicks, it is well to confine them in o n crates for two weeks before being killed. The lack of exercise and the special food that the chicks receive when in the crates, greatly j improves the flavor and quality or j the flesh. They should gain in weight from 50 to 75 per cent., and this gain in weight is accomplished at much less cost than when the chicks are running at liberty 'and using a considerable proportion of i thPiV food for repairing their mus I cles. j Complete directions for rearing j and fedeing chicks, and also for J cnn5ning and fattening them in j crates, can be , obtained from the i poultry bulletin published by the j Extension Division cf CI em son Col j lege, S.

I To keep apace with fashion, one mnct K a. aror /-in tVi.fi o 1 art 1 r> t'hoau day9 when there is constantly some-, thing new appearing. We do not loo& for any change in the silhouette, lor that has-been finally settled, at least j for the coming season, but there are! countless important minor details ai-f wars turnine ud which make the same of keeping up with tlie mode a very interesting one. Almost each day something new is brought to the at tention; a certain material suddenly rises into prominence, a new way oi draping a skirt is devised, and sun dry novel accessories appear upon the scenes and are quickly taken up with enthusiasm. v i I I 1 1 ' j Braped Styles are Affato ia Togwe. ! In opposition to the trooks that are j absolutely straight in line, there are many ways of draping skirts to give that slight puffiness about the hip? which is now one of the acceptea modes in the dressier type of frock for afternoon and evening wear. One of the latest ways ifl by gathering the straight lower section of a skin to a yoke, and leaving the sides fre? : to form looped draperies which fah very gracefully into position when the rsoft pliable materials are used. An i illustration of this charming style la shown in the sketch. The dress is ot ?aJ + nn??Arrr Ko W A As. pOUgee Cl'llllJiltJU nii.ii uauvrt vauuc of ribbon. The waist of this costume is made with kimona sleeves of the i loose, baggy type, the kind that were i in fashion some time ago. The un i usual V-shaped collar and flaring cuff3 add the note of distinction which ah I such simple styles require. > Sometimes long, straight tunica or apron effects take the place of draper ies in frocks of silk, chiffon or Geor gette. A beautiful dress of white satin for a bride was made with * long pleated apron of fine white net edged with white glass Deads. 'ine transparent glass beads are now being used for the bead work, which ? strongly In evidence. Gingiuung for Summer Suits and Dresses, Bright, colorful ginghams in very fine qualities have risen into promin ence and are used in fashioning not only separate blouses and skirts, but also entire summer dresses ana sun?. In making suits, the latest fad has heen to combine gingham with pon gee and other sports silks. A skirt of gingham is used with a silk coat which has the collar and cuffs ana sometimes, pockets, of gingham. A surprising combination, but distinct ly effective when one gets used to the ideal! In other Instances, plaid and plain ginghams are used to make the , popular middy dresses with slip-over ! blouses and pleated skirts. 'With the i plaid used for the skirt and to trim i the blouse, a dress of this kind is ex ceedingly attractive for summer wear. Ginghams are crisp and cool and may always be kept looking fresh. i The separate skirt of plaid or checked gingham, to wear with white voile and batiste waists, is also a pleasing novelty for summer. The skirts are sometimes made with belts of silk in some bright color matching one of the colors in the plaid or stripes as the case may be. Smart gingham blouses are trimmed with white pique collars and cuffs, and buttonholes bound with the pique. FOR SALE CHEAP?One National cash register. One five ft. show ease. Three Ford inner tubes.

HOME GUOWN FOOD STUFFS Daily Mail. me rtonea Fatii cnronicie In dis cussing the need of producing more foodstuffs at home, says: "It is uaele38 to encourage the peo ple to raise and preserve vegetable* for market unless the home buyer i nfill fVintrt T/* ?* - *s.vwrw% . knowledge a local merchant was able ; la&t year to purchase home canned to- j matoes cheaper than he buys those packed in distant States, hut he could j find few purchasers for the local pro- i duct as the trade preferred to pay a higher price for the foreign product ' rather than got a home grown product j at a saving. If you want the farmer j to raise food stuffs you must pro- j vide a market for his roquets." We have heard complaints of this kind before, and no doubt there 1b ground for them. Some years ago a canning factory was established at i Laurens. A good quality of product! was turned out but the local people; would not buy them.
