HEN NEEDS A SALAD DISH, TOO;
GREEN FEEDS ARE ESSENTIAL
Most folks agree that a good salad
needs chicken and the poultry family
■.’■eeins to be unanimous in the opin
ion that good chickens need salad.
This story is about chicken salad as
henery habitues think of it —assum-
ing that they do think.
During the spring and summer
months a flock so located that it can
range does not need to have any
green feed supplied it. When the
birds are confined in a back yard
or in any other limited space where
there is little or no green material,
they will not do their best unless
supplied with all the salad material
they can eat once a day.
The question of now to supply the
best feed at the lesat cost is one
each poultry keeper must decide
largely for himself. It probably
makes little difference what -green
feed is supplied providing it is palat
able. Clover, alfalfa, rape, rye. oats
and Swiss chard are some of the
crops often grown for this purpose.
As it is necessary to shut the hens
away from the crop when it is grow
ing, various cropping plans are ad
vocated. The poultry specialists in
the United States department of
agriculture recommend three plans
to fit varying conditions and locali
ties.
Front and Back Alternate Plan
Back Yard—Permanent. Blue
grass and clover or blue grass and
alfalfa in sod. To be used as a
range while crops are growing in the
front yard. Large area desirable.
Front Yard —Temporary crops.
November 1 to April 1. Feed win
ter rye, vetch, crimson clover, etc.
April 1 to July 1, grow rape, chard,
lettuce, buckwheat.
July and August. Feed.
September 1 to November 1. Grow
winter rye. vetch, crimson clover,
etc.
Temporary Crops in Both Yards
Where it is thought best to grow
temporary crops in both poultry
yards, the following rotation is an
excellent one in some localities:
Guinea Fowls Good Food
Substitute for Game Birds
The value of the guinea fowl as
a substitute for game birds such as
grouse, partridge, quail, and pheas
ant, is becoming more and more rec
ognized by people fond of this class
of meat, and the demand for these
fowls is increasing steadily. United
States department of agriculture spe
cialists report. Many hotels and
restaurants in the large cities are
eager to secure prime young guineas,
and often they are served at ban
quets and club dinners as a special
delicacy. When well cooked, -guineas
are attractive in appearance, al
though darker than common fowls,
and the flesh of young birds is ten
der and of specially fine flavor, re
sembling that of wfild game. Like all
other fowl, old guineas are likely to
be tough and rather dry.
A few large poultry raisers, par
ticularly those within easy reach of
the large eastern markets, make a
practice of raising a hundred or so
guineas each year, but the great ma
jority of guineas are raised in small
flocks of from ten ,to twenty-five
upon farms in the middle west and in
the south. Many farmers-keep a
pair or a trio of guineas more as a
novelty than for profit, and from
these a small flock is raised. The
guinea fowl loubtless would be more
popular on farms were it not for
its harsh and at times seemingly
never-ending cry. However, some
people consider this cry an argument
in the guinea’s favor, as it gives
warning of marauders in the poultry
ward.
For More Than Forty Years
Cotton Growers have known that
POTASH PAYS
• • zTr ?. " ■'•
More than 11,651,200 Tons of Potash Salts
had been imported and used in the United
States in the 20 years previous to January,
1915, when shipments ceased. Os this 6,460,-
700 Tons consisted of
KAINIT
which the cotton grower knew was both a plant
food and a preventive of blight and rust, —with
it came also 1,312,400 Tons of
20 per cent
MANURE SALT
which has the same effects on Cotton, but which was
used mainly in mixed fertilizers.
Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have
been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and
high freight rates make it more desirable to ship
Manure Salt, which CONTAINS 20 PER CENT OF
ACTUAL POTASH, instead of Kainit, which con
tains less than 13 per cent actual Potash.
MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing
on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will
give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds
of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure
Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161
pounds of Kainit.
MANURE SALT has been coming forward in
considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can
not secure Kainit, should make an effort to get
Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big
Cotton Crop.
Muriate of Potash
50 per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward
also, —100 pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400
pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt.
These are the three
Standard GERMAN Potash Salts
that were always used in making cotton fertilizers
and have been used for all these years with great
profit and WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE
CROP.
The supply is not at present as large as in former
years, but there is enough to greatly increase the
Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the
necessary effort to get it for you.

The Third Plan
In this cropping plan one of the
suggested crops is to be grown in
one yard while a crop is pastured in
the alternate yard. Crops should be
selected which will grow well in the
given district. The dates must be
modified for extreme north or
south.
Yard 1. —From April to July
should be growing either oats,
chard, lettuce, clover, vetch, sun
flowers (shade and seed), cowpeas,

feeds on winter rye, winter vetch
crimson clover (New Jersey and
south), or sweet clover.
Yard 1. —From July 1 to October

peas, or rape.
Yard 2. —From July to October 1

How a City Library Helps
Farmers Gain Advantages
Few city libraries have as many
country book borrowers as they
should, says the United States de
partment of agriculture, but the free
public library at Stockton, Cal., is a
pleasant exception to the rule. Not
only does it send out traveling li
braries to communities and school
districts but it also encourages the
country people to make direct use
of the main library. Aside from the
liberal policy of the trustees of the
Stockton library, its central location
and the good rbads leading to the
city have been big assets in the
building up of the large country cir
culation.
There are now thirty communities
and twenty-two school districts that
are receiving county free library
service from Stockton, but the main
library has a direct country circu
lation of 6,281 volumes. The large
collection of books at the main li
brary is attractive to country book
borrowers.
Another incentive to country read
ers has been the co-operation her
tween the farm adviser and the home
demonstration agent and the county
librarians. These extension work
ers, sent out by the United States de
partment of agriculture and the state
agricultural college, make arrange
ments with the library authorities
to forward books on fly control,
clothing, and study of food to the
communities where these subjects
have been discussed at the centers
and where they are to be county
wide projects for the coming year.
AND SUCCESSFULFARMING
Dy Andrew K <Sovle
FEEDIS'G Miß MANAGEMENT OF
SHEEP
It is an old saying that the eye of
the master fattens his cattle and
this applies with equal force to sheep.
It makes little 'difference which
breed is selected or what facilities
are available, unless they are prop
erly utilized failure is sure to re
sult. In other words, management
constitutes after all the chief ele
ment concerned in the success of any
enterprise, and there is probably no
class of live stock which is more
readily affected, in so far as profits
are concerned, through desirable man
agement than sheep.
In the south there is abundant
grazing and picking available for
sheep until at least the first of De
cember. There are the old corn
fields for them to glean; there is
the sorghum field; there is the land
which has been devoted to cowpeas
or other legumes grown either for
grain or for hay and but recent'v
harvested; there are the tops of the
peanuts and sweet potatoes to ea f ;
and there is a good deal of picking
even in the Bermuda pasture. These
are but suggestions as to the nature
and character of forage which may
be made available for this class of
live stock, and though the average
farmer may be slow to believe it, he
would be surprised to find that on
a relatively small holding he would
have an abundance of feeds of this
character to fully satisfy the needs
and requirements of a flock of twen
ty-five to thirty-five ewes. If fore
thought has been taken there will be
available on December 1 or there
abouts, rye and rape pastures. Os
course, other of the cereals can T>e
used as. well, but these two crops
will probably constitute the main de
pendence through the fall and win
ter. Barley and oats can be utilize !
as well. To this end they should
be sown rather early in the fall.
Barley in particular makes, a very
satisfactory grazing crop for sheep
In the spring bur clover will be
available. It should, of course, have
been sown on the Bermuda sod the
previous summer. Crimson clover
can be used with advantage if seed
ed with rye or with any of the other
winter growing cereals. Vetch will
be found valuable for late spring
grazing. It is best combined witii
some of the cereals adapted for fall
planting. It will thus be found that
with such supplemental foods in the
form of roughage as any of our forms
of silage crops will provide, that a
flock of ewes can be carried through
the fall and winter on a minimum
amount of grain. To withhold this
altogether would be objectionable and
must be characterized as bad prac
tice, because the ewe is after all a
mother and therefore must be well
nourished and sustained, and it is
poor economy to deny her the min
eral salts and nutritives in rather
concentrated form such as suitable
grain rations provide.
Os course, a large number of grains
are adapted for feeding to ewes dur
ing the fall and winter. A moderate
amount of cottonseed meal can be
utilized. This is such a concentrated
food that it should only be fed in
relatively small quantities. Peanut
meal is also a desirable food. It
can be fed in even larger quantities
than cottonseed meal. Velvet bean
meal is another satisfactory concen
trate and then, of course, any of
the cereals or legumes which we may
happen to produce in an over-abund
ant supply can be utilized as part or
all of the grain ration required to
maintain the flock in a healthy and
vigorous condition during the winter.
Grain feeding should probably com
mence ordinarily about the first of
December. For this purpose an ear
of corn may be fed to each ewe. Corn
may be fed on the grass or in a wide
flijit-bottom trough, allowing the ewes
to shell the grain out for them
selves. Oats, of course, can be fed
if grown on the farm. Any of the
other grains mentioned may be fed
in a flat-bottom trough. They should
be scattered over the bottom of it
in a rather thin layer. This necessi
tates the ewes eating the grain more
slowly and so masticating it better.
The flat-bottom trough is much more
desirable than the V-shaped trough,
because in the case of the latter the
sheep can get too much feed in their
mouths at once, hence they not only
gulp it down to fast, but they waste
a good deal of it.
The best time to have the lambs
dropped is in February or March.
Tn order to do this the ewes must
be well-fed throughout the autumn
months. It is needless to point out
the advantages of having the lambs
come early in the spring. Here in
the south at that season of the year
grazing is available and the weather
is mild and so the lambs can be
taught to eat very early and can,
therefore, be raised on a minimum
amount of grains and finish chiefly
on pasture. By getting a good start
early in the season they develop a ■
bigger body, which enables them to |
withstand parasitic attack to better i
advantage. They can also be finished
and placed on the market earlier in
the season, which will almost uni
formly result in the obtainment of
better prices.
The’ principal requirement as to
protection for sheep in the south is
a shed or structure as open as pos
sible, but which will protect them
from cold rains in November. Decem
ber, January and February. The most
important part of the shelter, there
fore, is the roof. To turn ewes or
lambs out in the cold beating rains
is a mistaken policy and will al
ways result in loss to the owner.
During the winter ayeather, or when
the ground is too wet to permit of
out-door grazing, racks or flat-bot
tom troughs should be provided un
der this shelter in which suitable fod
der and grain can. be placed and kept
for the needs of the flock. If ani
mals are plentifully supplied with.
food they are not likely to over-eat
It is only when they are irregularly
fed that this is likely to happen.
Therefore uniformity in feeding is
a matter of great importance.
For the winter roughage there is
nothing better for ewes than silage
and alfalfa. There is no difficulty
about having a super-abundance of
silage at a moderate cost throughout
the southeastern states, as there is
no section of the country where crops
adapted for this purpose do better, or
where silage can be put up more
■cheaply or kept to better advantage.
In all the clay areas of the Pied
mont section alfalfa can be grown
with very considerable succes. Where
this can be accomplished it will yield
the finest type of roughage to feed
with silage to use during the winter
months.
If sheep are fed under a shelter
of the character suggested for any
considerable length of time it is very
important that the feeding troughs
be kept clean and in a thoroughly
sanitary condition When they ar<’
fed out in the open on the ground
the food should be scattered on a
fresh area each day.
Remember that the ewes must have
an abundance of protein. This is the
element chiefly concerned in the pro
duction of flesh, muscles and nerves'.
Protein can be supplied to advantage
through feeding alfalfa in the win
ter. Clover or cowpea hay, peanut
meal, cottonseed meal and velv<:
bean meal will also supply protein.
Remember that supplying a sufficiem
amount of protein is essential if th
ewes are to be kept in a vigorous,
healthy condition and the lambs
grown out quickly and economically.
Lambs may be taught to eat ear
lier-if a creep is provided for them
They will very soon learn to go to
that section of the shed or yard pro
vided for them and eat at their leis
ure. If a creep is not provided the
older and larger animals are liable
to keep them away from the trough.
Both ewes and lambs should be
kept in a separate part of the bar;i
lot. or away from other classes of
stock. It is poor practice to let hogs
loose in a lot with .sheep and young
lambs, and horses and cattle are also
liable to tramp upon and injure them.
It is good practice to shear th ■
ewes as early in the spring as pos
sible. Os course, this should nor
be done as long as there is danger
of cold nights and heavy rains.
Dipping to free the ewes and lambs
from tick;’ is, of course, both a de
sirable and essential practice. Re-
member that the ewe is very much
like a dairy cow. It is her business
to produce an abundance of milk.
If she does this her lambs will grow
off vigorously and attain a good
weight in a comparatively short time.
If she is a poor milker the lamb will
fail to grow and develop satisfac
torily. A cow will not yield milk
unless abundantly and satisfactorily
fed, and neither will a ewe. The best
practice, in our opinion, here in the
south would be to sell lambs just
at weaning time. This would be when
they are not more than four months
old. At this time they will bring as
much as a rule as they will two
months later. Hence dispose of them
as soon as possible, thus limiting
the time and the amount of feed
which is required to finish them,
and lessening the dangers of loss
through disease. A few of the best
ewe lambs should be selected each
year and kept, and the older and less
desirable ewes sold. If this practice
is kept up from year to year the
character and vigor of the flock can
be easily maintained. If lambs are
to be sold at weaning time it will,
of course, be necessary to feed them
grain. In handling the flock through
the summer if there is an abundance
of range on the farm very little grain
need be fed. The pastures should be
changed frequently, however, to pre
vent as far as possible worm infesta
tion. Some grazing crops should be
provided so that in case of a drouth
period fresh succulent food will be
available. In the south such an
abundance of crops are suited for
growth throughout the spring and
summer that there is no difficulty
in providing as much of this type of
food as may be needed.
An abundance of pure water should
be provided.
The lambs should be supplied with
as much salt and tobacco stems as
they will eat. The ewes can be used
during the summer to help keep the
farm cleared up and free from weeds
and trash which might otherwise ac
cumulate in the fields and pastures.
Where these observations are fol
lowed with any degree of care a
flock of sheep will be found a prof
itable asset on every farm.
DOPE ON FIGHTING TB2I
BOLL WEEVIL
J. Q. A., Litliia Springs, Ga„ writes:
I want to know liow to cultivate and
trout cotton to destroy the weevil. I
wish to sow some alfalfa. Can I ex
pect it to grow on red land that was in
corn last year? I have been unable to
get lime. How can I treat sweet pota
toes to rid them of black rot?
In fighting the boll weevil you
should proceed as follows: Prepare
your land as thoroughly as possible
and plant it as soon as practicable.
Planting, of course, simply to put the
seed in the ground is not the point
at issue. You should wait until the
ground is warm enough to insure
rapid and uniform germination of the
seed. Next, fertilize the land well,
using 500 pounds in your section of
Georgia of a formula containing 9 per
cent of phosphoric acid, 3 per cent
of nitrogen and 3 per cent of pdt
ash. Put the fertilizer under the
drill row at the time of planting. The
cotton should be chopped to a stand
as soon as possible. Cultivate fre
quently and rapidly. Pick all of the
weevils out of the buds of the plants

It is not worth while to sow al

yet succeeded in obtaining a desir
able stand at any other time then
in the fall. The land you intend to
devote td this crop might be sown to
peas this summer. The peas should
be turned under when in good condi
tion to make hay. If you expect
to grow alfalfa successfully, you
should lime the soil, putting two tons
on now and two tons on later in the
season. Plow the peas under in the
late summer. Work the land as a
fallow from then until seeding time,
which will be about October 1. Use
100 pounds of a fertilizer containing
10 per cent of phosphoric acid, 3 per
cent of nitrogen and 4 per cent of
potash. Harrow this well into the
ground and then cross seed the al

CONTROLLING AND ERADI
CATING NUT GRASS
11. G. M., Plains, Ga., writes: I would
like to know how to destroy nut grass.
I have quite a bit on my farm. How
may J secure tlie bulletins of the Agri
cultural college on tlie different farm
subjects? I am a young man, just be
zginning to farm, and intend to make it
my life work, and I want to get lined
up just as well as possible to begin
with.
Nut grass is one of the most diffi
cult pests to eradicate. We found
an area of it on the college farm
whin v»c took possession of the prop
erty which th institution t ow owns
and operates. We tried various meth
ods of destroying ibis grass, but it
seonied as though tin-; mere we cul
tivated the land in an endeavor to
kil 1 it the oetter the grass- estab
lished itself. We then changed our
plan entirely and decided to see if
we could destroy this grass by chok
ing it out with another crop. Our
success in this direction was very
encouraging. At the end of three
years we had about destroyed this
patch of nut grass. It was accom
plished in this way:
First, we plowed the land early irf
tie fall and seeded it tc oats and
crimson clover. A good stand was
secured. After the oats and clover
were cut for hay, we broke the land
immediately and seeded it back to
cowpeas. These were cut for hay,
ilic land broken, again and seeded to
oats and hairy vetch. It was then
put back ii. cowpeas and the same
process was continued for another
year. You could use velvet beSns
in place of cowpeas. The principal
thing is to keen a perfect smother
vegetation on the land throughout
the whole growing season. The con
tinuance of this practice is the best
method we know of for choking out
and destroying nut grass.
Bulletins are sent free to all citi
zens of the state of Georgia, and any
citizen is entitled to have his name
placed on our mailing list. You will
find these bulletins very valuable.
We suggest that yop secure such of
the copies as are now available
through our mailing division and put
them in a case where they can be
preserved for handy reference. You
will find them of great value in the
conduction of your farm work. The
modern farmer must of necessity
have a reference library at his com
mand. His business is now the most
complicated business in the world,
and, in order to fight insects, fungi
and diseases successfully, he must be
advised as to the exact nature of the
sprays to use.
What an Egg Circle Does
The community egg circle —
Helps each member to dispose of
his surplus eggs and to secure a
more satisfactory price.
Helps the community to build up a
reputation for a guaranteed product.
Helps the nation to reduce the to
tal egg loss and conserve this source
of its food supply.
The United States department of
agriculture will be glad to tell you
just how to organize one.
The shell of a hen’s egg constitutes
about 11 per cent, the yolk 32 per
cent, and the white 57 per cent of
the total weight of the egg.

\ placed in the drinking
< . X- A water, will positively
Sy-jL, Jp save your little chicks
from all such diseases.
Inside of 48 hours the
| WT sick ones will be as lively
V as crickets. Avicol keeps
them healthy and makes
them grow and develop.
Mrs, Vannie Thackery, jR_ F. D. 3, St.
Paris, 0., writes. “I had 90 chicks and
they all died but 32. Then I commenced
on Avicol and haven’t lost any since.
They have grown wonderfully."
