TOFFEE COUNT! FI DULY 4
WEEKS FROM NEXT TUESDSF
Four weeks from next Tuesday
Coffee County will open the gates to
the greatest fair she has ever put
on’ and that is saying much for the
1916 fair was a rcord breaker.
The work of rounding up and get
ting things eady in all of the depart
ments is now going on at a lively
pace so that every thing may be in
place when opening day arrives No
vember 13th.
The farm and live stock displays
will be high class and of great varie
ty. The Woman’s Department is un
der the direction of Mrs. John Mc-
Lean assisted by a corpsof expert
hepers, and it goes without saying
this part of the fair will be in a class
to istelf, the beauty spot of the whole
thing. This department never fails
to please.
The management was, for some
time, more or less apprehensive that
it might be impossible to get attrac
tions for th amuwment side of the
fair but practically'all doubts along
this line have been removed and a
contract will be closed inthe next day
or two foron of the best aggregatins
in the shw business.
The fair will lend itself unselfish
ly to putting forward the things that
most concern the interest of he pub
tion, and food conservation will be
duly emphasized, and likely, specia
days will be given to the above sub
jects.
Appication has been filed with the
railroads for reduced rates for the oc
casion and these will be published as
soon as granted.

LIVE POULTRY NOTES
TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS
Remove Unhealthy Chicks And Pay
Close Attention To Sanitation
Since chickens, if forced to, can take
care of themselves on the farm at this
time of the year, the growing stock
is often neglected. However, good
care should be given especially at this
time.
When the chicks are about six weeks
old a mixture of oae part oats and
two parts cracked corn can be substi
tuted for the chick feed. Dry mash,
sour milk and fresh water should al
ways be kept before them. Plenty of
shade and an abundance of green feed
wilL do much toward keeping the
chicks in a healthy condition.
Crowding in hot, poorly ventilated
houses at night wil reduce any gain a
chick may make on the range during
the day. An indication of crowding is
the dying of chicks one at a time and
a poor, thin, droopy condition. There
should be 4 chicks to the square foot
of floor space in the colony house, and
they should be taught to roost while
young by putting the roost about 12
inches above the floor.
Separating the sexes as soon as pos
sible will make the pullets grow much
faster, prevent crowding and reduce
the cost of raising. The male birds
that are not wanted for breeding pur
poses should either be confined to a
small pen for fattening or they should
be caponized. Instructions for capon
izing may be secured by writing the
Poultry Department of the State Col
lege of Agriculture.
Cleanliness in caring for chicks can
not be emphasized too rnuch. Wet,
sloppy mashes or mouldy feeds should
not be used. The dish in which the
sour milk is fed should be washed at
least once a day and care should be
taken that the milk has not become
mouldy. Clean water is very essential
to the health of chicks since it acts as
a tonic. The body contains about 65
per cent water. All chicks with lim
ber neck, colds, sorehead or chicken
pox should be removed from the flock
as soon as possible.
To clean chicken houses spray with
a solution of one part of crude car
bolic acid to three parts of kerosene
oil. Another spray of one hundred
parts whitewash to one part crude
carbolic acid is perhaps even better.
When crude carbolic acid cannot be
obtained either creosote or some good
stock dip can be substituted.
At this time many hens have stop
ped on account of old age, lack
of proper food or moultiness. These
birds should either be killed or sold
and especially those over three years
old showing the above symptoms. Prop
er feeding will do as much as any
other one thing to start the flock lay
ing early in the fall. Rape may be
planted in September or October to
furnish green feed for chickens
throughout the winter. —(W. H. Allen,

which appears in this paper today.
TOO LENIENT
Editor Enterprise: The Govern
ment has been entirely too lenient
with German spies and sympathizers.
Boy-Ed and “Durnstuff” should have
been shot and not allowed to have left
America. Enough has been proven al
ready to warrant the shooting. We
should fight this war to a finish un
der a Black Flag, ask no quarters, r.or
give none. The Government should
offer a reward of one million dollars
for Hohenzollern (Kaiser Bill) dead
or alive, delivered anywhere or Amer
ican soil. Pursian autocaracy is a
menace to democracy and must be
subdued, the world over.

VALUE OF PUREBRED
SHE TO HEAD HERD
Scrub And Grade Bulls Legislated Out
Of Existence In Oregon
To turn other than purebred bulla of
a recognized beef breed upon the open
range east of the Cascade mountains
in Oregon has been made unlawful by
action of recent Oregon legislature.
This law, which the cattle men them
selves demanded, demonstrates clear
ly the unlimited confidence and faith
which the ranchmen place in purebred
sires.
In the twenty-five years just passed
no section of the country has effected
such a steady and consistent improve
ment in its cattle as has the western
range. The persistent use of pure
bred sires has changed a motley col
lection of upstanding, narrow, shallow
loined, heavy horned cattle into the
most uniformly good beef cattle bred
in any section of the United States.
Although the ranchmen cculd buy
plenty of well made beef bulls of non
descript or even very high grade
blood, they are so overwhelmingly in
favor of the purebred bull that they
now recognise him as the only legiti
mate sire of their calves and have leg
islated the scrub and grade bulls out
cf eiririer.ee.
The most common objection to the
purebred rire is “I cannot afford to
buy one.” A few figures will demon
strate the fact that the breeder can
not afford to be without one. The fig
ures given is the record of two cows
at the lowa Experiment Station.
A common scrub cow purchased in
Arkansas was placed in the college dai
ry herd and given feed and treatment
the sam> ns the purebred cows in the
herd. She was mated with a pure
bred Holstein bull and the resultiup
grade heifer in her first lactation
made a record that more than doubles
that of her scrub dam. The dam gave
2,339 pounds of milk within the year
and the grade heifer gave 4,704 pound ■
of milk or 2,365 pounds more than her
dam. This increased flow of milk in
the grade heifer for the year was
worth $13.19.
Given a herd of ten such scrub cows
and placing a scrub bull worth S2O
with them, we should not expect an in
crease in their milk production. How
ever, if a purebred bull 'worth $l5O
were used his first ten heifers would
pay in the first lactation period a com
bined profit of about $l3O more than
the daughters of the scrub bull. This
amount represents the difference in
price that the fanner can afford to paj
between a purebred bull and a scrub.
The profit to be derived from a pure
bred sire does not end with the firs'
generation. There should be mor<
daughters and many more lactatior
periods. The breeder is also buildim
up a herd of uniform appearance an'
superior production. What is true o
dairy cattle holds tri*? with othe
classes of livestock. —Mra W. Arthu:
