PVREBRKD POULTRY AT H03IE. Cletnson College, December 9.? The keeping of a flock of mature pullets and young hens at home to provide fresh eggs and tender frys for the f am liveable is a paying proposition. These hens will obtain some food themselves and will receive the waste of the kitchen, but it is usually profitable to supply them with dry magh in a hopper, or to moisten the mash with water and feed them what they can clean up quickly each morning. The simplest dry maun is wheat shorts, anfl when this is moistened with water or sour skimmilk or buttermilk, it is an appetizing, egg-making food and the hens lay well. But, according to P. C. Hare, professor of poultry husbandry, one of the best egg ashes is composed of equal parts by weight of wheat bran, shorts, cornmeal, ground oats, and fish mcaL The Jatter food is sold by several concerns in South Carolina for feeding hogs. It is an excellent food to make eggs and develop young chicks, because it analyses nearly, sixty percent protein and over fifteen percent lime?the two principal foods the layers and developing youngsters require. The evening of cracked corn, or any mixture of cracked corn and, whole gr*t.:ns, should ho npfi t f nrf il i r? iVio o-tti ?cj n r llffnr tn wv IWU.VVVtV.*! - " make the hens exercise. Many of the visitors to the fairs this fall purchased breeding pens of purebred boultry for use at home. A wiser investment could not he made because these fine, purebred chickens will not only provide eggs and frys for the fan.ily, but during the spring their eggs can be sold for hatching, while at olher seasons breeding and exhibition stock can be Fold to poultrymen. The one hundred members of the South Carolina Poultry Breeders' Association belong to this clf.^. The poultry business of each of these members has developed into a most profitable and pleasant side line, a business in which there are so many breeding and show problems to be solved to produce the blue-ribbon winners at the shows, that it has developed into a money-making hobby or pastime. There is room for hundreds of other flocks of pure-bred poultry in our State. Let us discard the tree-roosting spotted or striped hens and start with pure-bred stock of uniform beauty and practical qualities Write for information to Clemson College.

In response to requests from varioui parts of the state for in/ormatior about growing sweet peas, Geo. P Hoffmann. Extension Service horticulturist, makes the following recommendations: Soil?Select a cool mo.'st well drained soli that contains an excess ol organic matter. Preparation.?Prepare the soil thoroughly to a depth of 12 to IS inches and excavate to) this depth and sufficient -width to accommodate double rows off to run north and south, as this will afford a maximum amount of sunshine. Fertilizing and planting.?In the bottom of the excavation, place vuuugri wen rotted manure, as when packed will make a layer of six tc eight inches in depth; cover the manure with from four to six inches ol top soil; sow the seed in a flat bottom trench and cover to a, depth 01 two to three inches. After the seec have been planted, the ground shoulc be packed by rolling or by use of ? board pacl;ei\ but cjare should b< taken not to leave the soil in sucl condition as to cause sun baking.
