“KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES.”
One thing that affects the happiness and prosperity
of many of ns to a large extent is the disposition to keep
pace with those that are wealthier than we. In school,
the young student sees the rick boy or girl throw money
around ana they think they must do likewise. In oui
communities, we buy automobiles that we are not able to
own and keep up because our wealthier neighbors have
them.
Families that are struggling to live, spend money on
entertainment because they want to keep pace with others
that are perhaps able to give these entertainments. This
never brings happiness It menas to financial embarrass
ment, and to all honorable people It is humiliating not to
be able to meet your obligations.
Besides!, it shows a spirit of servitude that is dis
gusting. It shows that we haven’t the courage to live our
own lives in our way but that we are letting somebody else
dictate as to the way we ought to live. This destroys
character and will always end in unhappiness. Even those
you are trying to ape despise you deep down in their
hearts.
Os one thing you can rest assured, when two or more
people with similar tastes get together, they don’t have to
sling arounc. the cash to enjoy one another.

TODAY
The best time that has ever come into your life is
touay. Use it throughly, make it what it really is, the
best day that you have ever seen. Some people look back
on yesterdays and some look forward to as
ther best days. Such is not true. The best time in all
our lives is the present. It only is ours. Since time be
gan today is the best friend of man. In our weakness
anc. blindness we fail to grasp this great truth. And hence
we miss much of the successes and joys of life. Today is,
always the best day for doing good, for working hard, for
being happy. Don’t mis s the opportunity. It will never
come again.

CULL FLOCK FOR
MAXIMUM RETURNS
Immediate and Careful Attention
Should he Ghen Flo<*k to Ex
pect Maximum Resn’tg
Immediate and careful attention
shoulc be given pullets in order to
expect maximum returns from the
poultry flock duing the fall and win
ter. Pullets must produce the bu’k
of the high priced fall and winter
eggs as the hens will take their need
ed rest. The flock will not be profit
able unless a fair egg prochclion is
received during the season of high
prices.
The early moulting, low prducting
birds should have been disposed of be
fore this cate in order to save the
food cost and make room for the ma
turing profitable workers.
A dry, well ventilated, clean san
itary house should be available, al
lowing a minimum of three square
feet of floor space per bird. Six to
ten inches of clean straw or hay lit
ter should be p’.acec on the floor.
All pullets should then be caught up
and placed in the house for two or
three days. At the end of three days
the bircs will be somewhat accustom-
ed to confinement and can be easily
examined.
Market Weak Birds '
All slow maturing, weak looking
puilets should be marketed immediat
ely. A runt or weak birc! will always
be a liability, rather than an asset.
A bird of low vitality is more suscept
ible to diseases and parasites and is
always a danger to the healthier
bird.
...any poultrymen fine it very hard
to cispose of these maturing pullets
that will be found in all flocks of any
size. Do not keep them under any
i circumstances. However, if they must
| be kept, isolate them where they will
not have the opportunity of contam
inating or endangering the rest of the
flock. Isolating will usually encour-
I age the observative poultrymen the
practice of marketing as soon as ob
served.
Give Producers Attention
Having culled out the undesirables,
it is now imperative that attention be
concentrated on the proc,beers. When
possible, it is advisable to separate
the pullets by pens according to the
i development. Those laying should be
! placed in one pen, those about to lay
in another, and those needing a little
forcing, in another.
DRYING-UP THE DAIKY COW
A reader asks: “Should a cow that will calve in about
a month, that is still giving a reasonable amount of milk,
be dried up, or milked right up to calving time?”
No, a cow that has been milked up to within one
month of calving should probably not be driec up. It is
quite likely that before she can be dried up she will be
“springing” and it may be impossible to dry her up safely.
It Is pretty generally a'greed that the dairy cow shou, c
lie dried up anc have a rest of a month or six weeks* before
coming fresh, but to dothis, the effort to dry her up should
abcut two months, or at least six weeks before calv
ing time. If the start is made two months before calving
♦he feed reduced, preferably dry hay only being given, the
cow milked once a day for a short time, then once every
two or three days, and then milking is stoppec entirely,
the cow will usually be dried off without danger or injury
to the udder. When milking is stopped entirely the udder
will fill up very full, but if not milked out, in a very few
days it will begin to go down and the cow will soon be dry.
But if the drying up is put off untl a month from
calving, or if there is any irritation in the udder remain
ing from any previous udder trouble, or unless the cow
is put on dry feed, it may be better to milk her right up
to calving. Milking a part of the milk from the udder
shoulc never be done. Simply put her on dry feed, milk
less frequently for a short time, and then stop milking en
tirely.
It is better for the cow anc also for the unborn calf
that the cow be dried up for one to two months. The cow
will probably give more milk In 10 months If she had had
a rest of two months than she will in 12 months if she
doe 3 not get the rest before calving. The calf will pos
sibly devel j ) better if the cow is c'ry and properly fed,
thai. if -be is bc-ii-g m. ked, am’ wher the cow has been
dried up, the frist milk the calf gets will he better suited
to its needs, than as if the mother had been milked' right
up to freshening. But no serious harm is likely to result
from milking a cow right up to calving, while trying to
dry up a persistent milker, within a month of calving,
might result n injury to the udder, unless it be done
quickly and carefully.—The Progressive Farmer.

Creating new counties is a statewide affair. The peo*
pie of the entire state vote on it, and they have a right to
know the merits of each particular case. Georgia already
has too many counties. The proposed new county of
Peach is to be taken from Houston and Macon counties,
and the people of both of them are waging a determined
fight against it. If the people will vote against Peach
county it will put a stop to the new county craze. We be
lieve they will.

THE LYONS PROGRE SS, LYONS, GEORGIA
In orcer to get maximum produc
tion in Georgia during the winter
months, our pullets should be brought
to laying during October. This tim
ing production can be regulated to
seme extent by the feeds and method
of feeding.
A good laying ration:
Scratch Feed
100 pounds wheat.
100 pounds cracked com.
100 pounds oats.
Mash Feed
100 pounds wheat bran.
100 pounos corn meal.
100 pounds ground oats.
100 pounds beef crap.
The method practiced with very
' good results at the College is to have
the mash feed in self-feeding hoppers
before the bircs at all times. The
scratch grain is fed in the litter on
the floor, where the brids will be re
quired to scratch for same. Birds
should be so fed that they will con
sume about equal parts of each. The
amount of mash consumed must be
regulated by the scratch feec'ing. It
the brids are not consuming enough
mash, cut down on the amount of
scratch. On e hundred pullets should
be given from ten to twelve pounds
of scratch grain per day. A very
light feec'ing of from two to four
pounds should be given in the early
morning and the remainder late fn
the afternoon.
Regulations of Food
In case pullets start producing a
few weeks early, they can be held up
somewhat by over feeding on scratch.
In case they seem a little plow in
starting they should be encouraged
to eat more mash. This can be done
by giving a wet mash once a day,
using either water or mi'.k, preTerab
ly the latter. Where home mixed
foods are not available or practical,
commercial feeds should be used in
the same method.
In addition to the above rations,
oyster shell, grit, and green or suc
culent feeds should be available at
all times. Alfalfa is the best green
food. However, cabbage, collards,
rape, oats, wheat and rye, are very
good and can be grown in Georgia at
this season of the year.
MHk Ya'iinble Food
The value of milk canot be over
estimated. Milk is a very valuable
part of a ration for poultry of any
age and for any purposes.
Fresh water should be supplied at
fieast twice a day and containers
should be washed once a cay.
Pullets should be kept confined for
a few days and then allowed to run
again The frist day they should' not
be turned out until near night and
then they will not roam far from their
new home.
During damp, rainy weather they
should be kept confined until the mid
dle of the afternoon when the laying
for the day is over.
It is a good plan to inspect each
pullet house the frist two weeks and
remove pullets from the nest, win
dows or other places where they
shouldnoa roost. In other words
they should be taught soon to go to the
roost. A habit such as roosting in
the nest is very hard to breat.

Rev. B. M. Bridges
Gives Facts In
His Case
It is doubtful if there has ever been
a medicine endorsed by so many min
isters of the Gospel as has Tanlac.
Indeed, there is scarcely a faith, creed
or demoniation in all the land In
which one, or more, of the clergymen
has not publicly expressed their in
debtedness to the Premier Prepara
tion for the benefits they have Thrived
from its use.
One of the latest to speak out in this
connection is Rev. B. M. Bridges, a
widely known and' beloved Baptist
preacher, residing at Mooresboro, N.
C., whose state follows:
“Tanlac has given me a good appe
tite, toned up my system and renewed
my strength in such a gratifying way
that I am glad to recommend it to any
one who is in a rundown condiion.
ten years past I have had such a
severe case of indigestion that I could
not find anything to eat that agreed
with me. Finally I became very
nervous and could get but very little
sleep or rest.
“It seems that I took nearly every
thing trying u get ntystlf right but
nothing helped me until I ran across
Tanlac. My nerves are so much bet
ter now that my sleep is sound' and
refreshing. I enjoy my meals and
have also gained weight. I can say
from experience that Tanlac is a
splendid medicine and tonic, for it has
built me up wonderfully.”
Tanlac is sold by all good' drug
gists.
