Hr PUREBRED POULTRY AT ROME. Clemson College, Decembt : ? .. The keeping of a flock of mature puiS??~|jplets and young hens at "home to propfo vide fresh eggs and tender frys foi the family table is a paying proposition. These hens will obtain some food themselves and will receive the waste of the kitchen, but it is usually nmnlv fhom Tcitb dr\' pruiiutuic KKJ ouyyij _ _ mash in a hopper, or to moisten the jmash with water and feed them what they can clean up quickly each mornft iDSThe simplest dry mash is wheat v shorts, and 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 F. C. Hare, professor of poultry husbandry, one of the hest egg ashes is composed of equal parts by weight of wheat hran, shorts, cornmeal, ground oats, and fish meal, The - ' latter food is sold by several concerns !; in South Carolina for feeding hogs. If arnoilcnt food tO TTiakO eggS aild fH develop young chicks, because it analyses nearly sixty percent protein and IH over fifteen percent lime?the two ? ? principal foods the layers and devefc : ' ping youngsters require. The evenog of cracked corn, or any mixture oi racked corn and whole gr^ns, should e scattered in the grass or litter to sake the hens exercise. Many of the visitors to the fairs lis fall purchased breeding pens of urebred boultry for use at home. A iser investment could not be made ecause these.fin^. purebred chickens ill not only provide eggs and frys >r the family, but during the spring leir eggs can be sold for hatching, hile at dher seasons breeding and chibition stock can be sold to poulymen. The one hundred members Rithe South Carolina Poultry Breeds' Association belong to this class. ie poultry business of each of these embers has developed into a most ofitable and pleasant side line, a isiness in which there are so many eeding and show problems to be Ived to produce the blue-ribbon Oners at the shows, that it has deloped into a money-making hobby pastime. There is room for hundIs of other flocks of pure-bred poul in our State.

" j GROWING SWEE7T PEAS . | Clemson College, December 9.? In response to requests from various : j oarts of the state for information j about growing sweet peas, Geo. P. Hoffmann, Extension Service horticul- J turist, makes the following- recom' mendations: Soil?Select a cool mlo;st well r drained soil that contains an excess of organic matter. Preparation.?Prepare the soil i thoroughly to a depth of 12 to 18 inches and excavate to! this depth and sufficient width to accommodate ; double rows off to run north and south, as this will afford a rnaxi mum amount of sunshine. Fertilizing hnd planting.?In the ' bottom of the excavation, place enough well rotted manure, as when ' packed will make a layer of six to 1 eight inches in depth; cover the ma nure with from four to six inches of top soil; sow the seed in a flat bot' torn trench and cover to a depth of ' two to three inches. After the seed have been planted, the ground should be packed by rolling or by use of a board packeA but cjare should be 1 taken not to leave the soil in such 1 condition as to cause sun baking. [ Sweet peas may "be panted without danger of cold injury, during the fall 1 11 M[ " -N^' > s .? yv^ v ^Icl # J a fc*^ *, \ \\ \ viV^x ,-v^ it: .%fj : '-:$kh <Sg: ,) ?: ; > <): i'j IVW'W,'.!
