AN IT niF, CHICKEN 1 he chicken lends itself to rather rapid improvement, at Us genera tions don't take long, and you have the advantage of numbers. And the - breeders have sure been busy and productive in this field in late years. Ijook what has happened The broiler has been vastly im- proved in quality And you can grow him m less time a ml on less feed than before Good feeders with good chicks are getting close to a pound of meat w ith 2 pounds of feed. And experimentally it has been done on Jess And in egg production, the hen has txH'n vastly improved too. In the past 20-odd years, eggs per hen have picked up 4.'» per cent’ Science at work has ‘given us many good things .And in no field is that more evident than with poultry.

Well, where I was raised, we would. It would be a family serving! of the fresh pork products they had ju-t made from butchering a hog. i Or “a mess of beans.’* would you know what that meant' It would be enough fresh beans from their gar-; den for your family Yes, different areas have peculi arities of speech. To us a “mess" of food was enough to cook for the family.

County Agent Wil lis tells me But the state forestry- folks had to scale these orders down in line with their supply, as they had to do for all counties. But Wil lis says this left Chesterfield plan', mg more pines than in any other year on record. Most of Chesterfied's Iannis arc natural tree lands, our forester Bill Barker tells me. They were in pines originally The pines were cut and scrub oaks came Now they are getting rid of the oaks, planting a crop of watermeons, and'then they go to pine trees. And pine trep grow fast, even on the white sandy lands They must thrive on some thing besides fertility. County agents are now taking pine tree orders for next winter. > * * BOYS ARE THAT WAY Last week 1 started telling of the coming of the thresher each year to the farms of the Stone Hills in the Dutch Fork of Lexington county 1 take up here where l left off then Soon the straw pile startl'd to grow'. We kid' would get in and on it. having an awful good time The women folks were ready with bed ticks ready to be refilled We used the wheat straw for that. It asted better and its chaff was not as itchy, if it worked throujgi the tick ing TJtat old straw from the year bofon* thewvHN^rtM^attit of the ticks before refilling was ^shredded up until it had little give to it. Those new straw: beds then slept soft and iiH>l during the hot days ahead at ihal season. But they get pretty well packed down and admitted less air by winter tinflp. The threshing crew usually stayed out all week, for travel was too slow to go home each night. The men slept in the straw piles, and the farmers fed them It was each farmer's duty to fet'd the crew at least once w hen it came to his place. And there was a lot of cooking for this coming of the thresher. For those crews of hard working men really hit the rations. They threshed for toll, never cash, as 1 recall. For folks didn't have much of that Usually the toll wa gon came later and got it No time so fool with that then. The bushel count was kept by pushing leather washers over on an arched wire, at the measuring trough. Threshing w as one of the hottest i What does it take to make mar- and itchiest of jobs.

You I man apd his wife can't live happily —t couldn't tell the color of men or clothes, and hardly recognized them at church on Sunday, after ihey cleaned up. It was a sort of honor to be work ing away with the thresher. For only strong men‘could do it. When a boy first did, he would strut a hit when occasions arrived Just as the last bundle zoomed firough the thresher, a worker yell ed "watch out,’’ ana threw the great belt with a stick. It writhed dangerously a moment on the ground like a snake and became still Then he rolled it up and, an other helping him. pitched it up on the apron of the thresher. Others were knocking the blocks'from the scotched wheels, cleaning up • jthe sheets, and hitching up the mules. And in no time they were off down the road, with whistle blowing for the next place. Next week a little more. EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Dr. Herbert Spaugh wore. And after a weeks work, without even pulling them off, they on a little money, th^y won’t do it with'much. Some of the happiest married couples I know are those who are relatively poor in this* world’s goods, but rich in the things of the spirit. ITjosc who seem to get along the best are those who enter it With out the burden of debt. They have only that for which they could pay. They have had a fine time making for themselves Simple home furni ture and equipment. I was in one such home the other night where the husband and father is handy with tools, and has made some good looking furniture. His wife, toor is clever with her hands, and is making loveiy rugs which set the home off far more attrac tively than ready-made merchan dise. I w as in another home a few days before that, where the same thing wgs going on Watching such has taught me that people enjoy more the things which they make than the things which they buy. You can see it in first grade children who come home from school with some little gift they have made there for mother or father. It means far more than a bought gift. All this points definitely to the fact that if a home is to be happy, three must be contribution of self. The man or woman who goes into marriage with the idea of getting rather than giving is doomed to dis illusionment and disappointment The very act of marriage fundamen tally involves sharing one with the other, but that sharing must be more than physical, it must be men tal and spiritual If you would have happibess in marriage, you must give, and the giving must be done by both When children come, they must do the same thing. The first description given in the Book of Genesis of marriage says, ’’The twain shall be one flesh.” Thus the symbol of a happy mar riage is that of sharing and giving. The lack of money for the neces sities of life can bring difficulty into marriage, but it need not destroy its happiness When a family meets dif ficulty together, it has a way of dis appearing. When they ask the coun sel of Almighty God in meeting these difficulties, the way to work them out is not long forthcoming. Prayer and work have a way of bringing happiness as nothing else.
