We Know Now.
There’s an old farmer living
down below Stebbins’ Cross Roads
who is still looking for farm relief.
He actually believes thdt the govern-
. ment is going to do something to help
the price of cotton and corn and peas.
In fact, h e is still holding the 3 bales
he made year before last and the 2
bales he made last year. He has no
pea s or corn.
This poor old fellow voted for
Mr. Hoover because Al. Smith was a
cross betwixt a wet a^d a Catholic,
and he says he intends to give Mr.
Hoover a fair trial. He thinks times
will be better because this is election
yeart—as th e republicans will turn
loose seme of their money. He doesn’t
know that most of them turned it
loose in Wall Street in 19 and 29—
and it's still loose.
It must be fine to have such faith
as this old farmer has. He believes
that the present congress will force
the present legislature to reduce
taxes on farm lands. He read that
in his paper—The Grit. He doesn’t
take any other paper and says Giit is
good enough for him—and I think he
ought to feed that paper to all of
our office-holders—so’s they’ll have
same grit in them.
1 like to hear this old gentleman
talk: It’s great to feel that you know
just a little bit more than somebody
else knows. He permitted the fol
lowing facts to ooze and effervesce
from that big mouth of wisdom he
possesses:—“No, it ain’t no use for
Al. Smith to run foj nothing else no
more—that air man, Rasa Cobb, mint
him in the last race, but I think he
was mint before Cobb jined in with
him.
“If Al. Smith would jine the Bap
tist church and line up with proher-
bition, he could possibly b e presi
dent, but the folks wont stand for
his kind of religion. A man told me
that Mr. Dawes might run, but he
ainH never done nothing that I ever
heard of except smoke his pipe bot
tom up-ward s and give Europe a plan
to beat us out of our money. There
ain’t but 2 good men left in the field
amongst the republicans and stands
a chance to be elected, and them is—
Cole Blease and Tom Heflin of Ala-
bamma.” , «
“The poor man has to pay nil of
the taxes anyhow. The rich folks
have bought up all the bonds that
they don’t hafter pay no taxes on,
and that leaves the working man to
foot the bill. The railroads have rais
ed the freight rates so’s the bonds
tjiem fellers has won’t be * like a
secbht mor-gage,' hut TH "betcher
th^y will lose more money trying to
ge^ more than they will make by
takfag what they deserve. Well, my
mules ig about done eating, so I’ll
Mve to go home. I diddn’t get no tag
for my Ford, so I fell back on old
Pete and Beck. Good-bye.
Everybody busted into a frenzy
of joy knd excitement when Pa
fetched out the 3 long chains that
the lamp was to swing cn; these
chains was of solid gold also.' The
last item brought forth „was the
frame pedestal that the lamp equip
ment sat ok, and it was of pure
bronze and daintily decorated with
figures of lambs hopping around in a
green meadow.
After this intricate piece of ma
chinery was duly assembled and ready
to be hung up in th e center o| the
room, 4 of my brothers and I went up
in the loft and tied a piece of trace
chain around a rafter and then those
folkg down on the ground floor hook-
e<f the limp into the lamp-ring and
there she was. We took 6 eggs to
the country store (only six miles
away) and bought a quart of kerosene
oil. We ran every foot of the way to
the store and back and were gone
nearly 25 minutes. \
Finally the lamp was pulled down
low enough to light. (The chains
passed thru little rollers and tfie
lamp could be stopped at any desired
height.) I fetched a light on a splin
ter, having got it out of the fire
place in the other room, and then we
all sat down to enjoy that lamp. We
stayed up nearly all of the first night
and played on those briliant rays, and
by dinner-time the third day, news had
crept out over the comniunity and
about 200 different folks had dropped
in to see that swinging lamp; most of
’em stayed till night so’s they could
watch it bum. The next work of art
was bought later, but that’s another
subject. This lamp cost $1.75, cash.
4-H CLUB MEMBERS ARE
GIVING POULTRY A BOOST
With low price of hogs^and scarcity
of money there was never a more op
portune time for farmers to save a
supply of home cured meat. When
weather turns cooler which it is hoped
it will do, be sure to follow the sug
gestions below: v,
In order to secur e the best results
good, .thrifty, young hogs weighing
from 206 lb 250 pounds should be
used. If possible, these should be
taken off feed the day before they are
to be slaughtered apd allowed only
fresh water to tfrink durin- th e last
24 hours. The first cold spell in De
cember is to be preferred for killing
hog 9 since the nights are longer, the
days cooler and the weather is more
apt to be dry and settled at this timp
of year than later on.
It is preferable to bleed the hogs
without stunning, since by this means
it i g possible to get a more thorough
job of bleeding, which makes the
meat easier to keep. If the tempera
ture of the water used for scalding is
kept around 150 degrees, it is possible
bo get a much more thorough job
than if the water is too hot. The
Blackville, Jan. 16.—Tuesday after
noon tlje regular pionthly meeting of
the Blackville School Improvement
association wa s held in the school au
ditorium. In the absence of the presi
dent, the chair was filled by Mrs. H.
L. Buist. The treasurer, Mrs. E. H.
WeissingPr, reported no balance on
hand on account of the bank’s closing
recently.. It was decided to have the
school paper, The Mascot, mimeo
graphed for the month of January
instead of sending it to th e printer
and thus curtail expenses. The asso
ciation then heard the report of the
nominating committee, Mrs. W. W.
Molony, Mrs. Hermon Brown, Mrs.'
T. O. Boland and Mrs. H. L. Buist,
who had prepared a list °f officers.
The list wag unanimously elected to
serve for th e coming year: Mrs. W. R.
Carroll, president; Mrs. H. L. Buist
and Mrs. Sem Rush, vice-president;
Mrs. Gy F. Posey, recording secretary;

to thoroughiy loosen the hair and

cleaning process.
After the hogs are cleaned and
dressed they should be allowed to
hang for 12 hours where the air will
circulate about them freely. It helps
in cooling to split the carcass down the
back into two halves and remove the
leaf lard. Not only is*it much easier
to trim the cuts of meat into more
desirable shape after the carcass is
cool, but salting meat while warm
causes a hardening and shrinking of
the muscl e fibers. After each piece
of meat has been thoroughly trimmed
it should be rubbed with the follow
ing mixture:
8 pounds of salt. ✓
3 pounds of brown sugar.
2 ounces of saltpeter.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly and
rub well into the face and ends of the
hams, sides and shoulders. If the
meat is not completely cooled it should

-V—When Ma came home one night
from town with a swinging lamp
-for our parlor-room, consternation
ran rampant amongst the eleven-
twelfths of a dozen of McGee young-
uns. The lamp shade was first un
wrapped, and it was undoubtedly the
prettiest thing in captivity at that
time.
W e stood around Ma and Pa in a
big circle and were not allowed to
touch anything while this swinging
lamp was coming into view from a
big box stuffed with paper. After the
lovely shade-^ame the metal frame
wRh glass ear-bobs hanging on it
that dangled in all their irridescent
loveliness about the base of the lamp.
There were 22 of these diamond beau-
tifien.
The third thing removed from
the cas e was the lamp itself. It was
jokt about the size of a rata bags
turnip, and it was hand-painted, the
bawl being made of genuine China—
^Imported from Livenmol, Ohio. The
burner looked like solid gold and the
wkk (then called “weak” by nearly
•verybody) was made of cotton, and
hflmt eras the only cheap thing about
on her visit to the county this week.
For economical brooding all mem
bers are using home-made brick
brooders in which wood is burned,
thus reducing to a minimum the cost
of brooding. Again cost is considered
in feeding, so home-mixed rations
will be fed. The all-mash chick for-
mula recommended and which Will be
used in the project > s as follows:
100 pounds yellow corn meal; 50
pounds wheat shorts; 12*6 pounds
fish meal; 1 3-4 pounds salt. *
Butter milk or clabber, oyster shell,
and water must be kept constantly
before the chicks in addition to the
mash. Tender green feed will be fed
each day after chicks art* a week old
and they must have acces s to plenty
of sunlight in order to prevent rick
ets. Th e club members are carefully
instructed against allowing the
brooder temperature running too high
or too low, either of which will cause
poor development and sickness among
the chicks.
“Sapitation has as important place
in poultry management as the tem
perature or feed,” says MiSs Neely,
and every ounce of prevention is
worth wore than a pound of cure
when raising chicks. One of the most
dreaded diseases known among young
chickens, is coccidiosis which frejquent-
ly appear among broods of chick s be
tween the ages three and fifteen
•peeks. This disease is .prevented by
practicing strict sanitation measures,
and by feeding plenty of milk in the
ration.
All poultry farmers are urged to
raise plenty of yellow corn this year
for their poultry as it is more valua
ble than white corn on account
its Vitamin A content. This food ele
ment promotes growth and health in
the chicks; .increases egg production
with hens, as well a 8 strengthens the
hatchability of the ’eggs. s
The 4-H poultry project is being
conducted in the county by Miss Eli
zabeth McNab,,. I|[ome Demonstration
Agent, assisted by Miss Juanita
Neely, Extension Poultry Specialist.
The acrediled hatcheries of the State
are lending theiF support fb th^ “pw-*

members are making preparations for

Croft, Gladys BUck, Margaret

tected from dust and animals until the
animal heat has been entirely remov
ed and it is thoroughly cooled. After
you are sure that the meat is thor
oughly cooled, it should be rubbed
again with the curing mixture and
packed down in a tight box <5r barrel
with a' close fitting cover, using onty
such a quantity of the curing mixtur e

After 7 days the meat should be
taken up, rubbed again with the same
mixture, packed down as before.
This process should be repeated at
the end of 14 days, at which time the
bacon may be removed and the hams
and shoulders repacked. A good rule
is to leave the bacon in cure for two
days for each pound in the piece and
hams and shoulders three day s for
each pound. That is, a 7 pound piece
of bacon will be sufficiently cured in
14 days and a 12 pound ham in 36
days. When cured the meat should be
taken up, washed, and hung up to
smoke. If you prefer pepper on the
meat it may be applied after the
smoking process has beeh completed,
either by itself or njixed with sugar
or molasses. After the meat has been
smoked it should be protected from
insects by being wrapped in paper
and sewed up in muslin sacks and the
sacks treated with yellow wash. A

The spare ribs, loins and other
fresh meat which cannot be used im

By this method it is possible to save
