PROFIT IN TURKEY8
Would you doubt that a turkey hen
laid 82 eggs sluce February 1, among
them two full also oggs lu ?"? afternoon
recently?
The Editor, of hie own knowledge,
can tnnko the statement this did transl>lro
on his poultry farm and any one
who wants to baa our permission to
Hond It Into Ripley and be rewarded
After getting the paper off of the
press lust week, It waa our Joy and
privilege to remain around the home
for the half holiday relaxing from a
butty early part of the day's work.
There Is an old suy lng that If you I
want to find out a great deal about a
couple, you should learn what their
hobbles are. Well, while the wife
worked In her South Main street flower
garden, we were "piddling In the
poultry yard.
Having quit trying to raise chickens,
our spare moments these days
are, devoted to raising turkeys. In
January, wo started off with one gobbler
and one hen, the suld hen having
abrogated all rules that wo have
read about as being common to turkey
raising. For Instance, she disregards
tho rule of going to sol after laying j
nine to eleven, and made no attempt,
until she bad layed fifteen. Whether
possessed with too much energy and
ambition to complete her taBk of staying
on the nest four weeks, or If she
became sluggish and weary of her
Job, we would not say, but after setting
only ubout ten days she again
began laying, with the result that soon
she had more eggs In her nest than
was possible for her to inanuge. Result:
She quit the Job. The climax
was reached ou last Thursday, however,
when she layed two normal size
eggs - bringing her Lotul since spring
to eighty-two. At the present market
price for turkey eggs she rung up a
revenue of $:16.?J0, If they had been
sold for setting purposes. The Editor
gathered these two eggs thai were
layed in the same afternoon and we
can furnish absolute proof. All that
we could do was to wish the old lady
well as she entered upon a well earned
vacation, but with a feeling that
within two to three weeks time she
will start out fresh again with renewed
vigor and more determination than
before to pay her way for the good
attention she Is getting Her eggs,
many of thorn, have been placed under
chicken hens for hatching with results
that have been very, very satisfactory.?

WHITNEY WOULDN'T KNOW
HIS COTTON GIN TODAY
One hundred and forty-five cotton
crops have been harvested since Ell
Whitney invented the gin Improvements
in the machine began almost
immediately after Whitney demonHtrated
it. and now parts, new attachments,
and new processes have been
added frequently since. Tho modern
gin differs as much from the original
?which was no more complicated
than a kitchen meat grinder?as the
present-day rotary printing press from
the old screw press.
A recent Farmers' Bulletin, Modernizing
Cotton (tins, put out by the I nited
States Department of Agriculture,
gives a good idea of what the gin has
otuie t? be in those days when tho
American cotton crop runs from
twelve to eighteen million bales. What
is now called a gin is really a plant,
a ginnery, often with a number of gins
or gin stands In a row.
A modern gin plant, in addition to
having the machines or "stands with
many circular saws for raking the
lint from tho seed, has fireproof construction.
is well lighted and ventilated.
and has highly developed cot toncleaning
and fur-extracting equipment.
A real up-to-the-times gin has a drier
to put green, damp, or wet cotton Into
proper condition for ginning There
are seed elevators and various ways
have been devised to keep seed pure
bo farmers growing a certain variety
can keep it free of contamination by
other seed.
Not all of the more than 12,000 gins
have modern, but hundreds of them
have acquired the more recent improvements.
including the seed cotton
drier which. In the humid areas of
the Cotton Belt, adds considerably to
the value of the farmer's crop.
