OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE 0. THOMAS
Incubators and Baby Chicks
I am delighted to receive so many
letters asking about raising little
chickens, and to learn through these
letters that you are going to get
better grades of fowls. It does not
take even one grain more to feed
the 200-egg hen that lays sixty eggs,
and there is so much more pleasure
to be derived from the work you do
for the looking poultry.
I have heard many people say
that the first hatch from their in
cubator was always better than any
others. Do you want to know the
real reason? The operator relied
strictly on what ths book said, there
was no experimenting, nor follow
ing the advice of others, and right
here I want to tell you that I read
my book of instructions from cover
to cover when I start a new season.
I have one little fifty-egg Buckeye
that I have used six years, and I
have cared for it as well as if it
were made of eggshell. It is -wash
ed, emptied of water, drained and
wrapped in heavy paper after the
hatching season is over. Then, when
I begin again, I wash it with boil
ing water that has three teaspoon
fuls of stock dip, or any good disin
fectant, and I know there will be
no germs. Every time it, or the
larger one is used, which will be
constantly from now till in May, I
shall wash thoroughly after taking
out the. chicks. Every incubator is
La little different from the others, or
would be an infringement of

FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Building From Farm Turnover -,
Accounts
J. H. F., Lincoln, Neb.,
writes: I have read that the
new woman's building at the
State College of Agriculture was
built out of the proceeds of the
dairy herd. I would like to learn
more about this, and how this
was accomplished.
The story of our college farm here
at Athens reads somewhat like a
romance. Ours is one of the few
Institutions which came into ths pos
session of a worn-out and virtually
abandoned cotton plantation and has
had an opportunity to keep a reebrd
of what has been accomplished from
the foundation of the institution. '
The Georgia State College of Ag
riculture - began operations on its
present basis in the fall of 1907. lij
the sixteen years which have elaps
ed, the gross receipts from this
farm have aggregated something
over $200,000. Approximately $130,-
000 of this income has been deriv
ed from the sale of dairy products.
The value of the live stock sales
has amounted to $38,439.67. The
live stock and dairy sales, therefore,
account for about $170,000 of the
gross re 'eipts, and cotton and cot
ton seed for only about $24,000. You
may ask how we explain the ap
parent discrepancy in the figures as
presented above. This is due en
tirely to the fact that certain mis
cellaneous receipts enter into the
gjoss sales. In the very heart of
the cotton belt, therefore, a worn
out plantation has been converted
in sixteen years into a. profitable
live stock and dairy farm. The ani
mals sold from this farm have had
an appreciable Influence on the ad
vancement of the live stock Interests
of our state, which, as you doubtless
know, have grown amazingly in the
past few years.
In fifteen out of the sixteen years
In which our farm has been operat
ed, it has shown a profit/ and suffi
cient money has been accumulated
through our turn-over accounts to
construct the building to which you
refer. We hardly think any other
college ehas accomplished anything
more striking than this through the
agency of its farm.
■■No doubt you will be Interested
R know thajt. during the period tin
discussion, we have spent
"urebred live stock. The value of
our live stock on June 1, 1923, was
$19,403. The sales from the same as
already indicated totaled $38,439.67.
The value of the live stock with
which we began operations was sl,-
917. The net increase in value plus
sales above expenditures for pur
chasing live stock has, therefore,
amounted in the period of sixteen
years to $39,579.12. Our herd of
cows consisted for a good part of
this period of purebred Jerseys and
Holsteins, divided in about, equal
proportions. During the last few
HAD TO LET
HOUSEWORK GO
So 11l Husband had todo the Work.
Completely Restored to Health
by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound
South Bend, Indiana. — “I was all
run-down, tired out, and had pains in
my back and bear
ing-down pains. I
was so sore I could
hardly drag my
self around and
was not able to
do a bit of mouse
work. My husband
worked all day in
the shop, and then I
came home and J
helped me at
night. The doc
tors said I bad fe-
male weakness, and there was no help
but to be operated upon, and of course
that would costus a great deal. My
husband heard about Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound at the
factory and one night he stopped at
the drug store and bought me a hottie
of it. I had begun to thmkthere was no
help for me, but 1 took three bottles of
it and nowl feel like my self once more.
The price for three bottles wasn’t so
much as tUe doctor had charged. I
cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound enough. - ’ —Mrs.

Women troubled with female weak

Vegetable Compound a fair trial.
was all, and plenty dead after they
had started to hatch. I generally
get from forty to forty-six, so you
see it looked like she tried it after
I left her. I did not ask her, for I
did not want to make her tell a
story.
Eggs can be set under a fat hen
after they are two-weeks old and
do fairly well, but don’t put any in
the machine that are over ien day*
old. I never ship them over a week
old, that gets them to their desti
nation within the ten days. I had
two letters from customers who
certainly knew how to handle
chicks. Twenty-five day olds -went
to Lake City, Fla,, then on a rural
route and the lady raised all to be
five weeks old, then an accident
happened and she lost one.
You notice that I specified a fat
hen to be the one to set. I mean
by that to emphasize the fact that
a hen of low vitality has not the
bodily heat to keep the eggs as
warm as they should be. Feed the
setting hens on corn, plenty of it,
and give them clean water to drink.
As soon as you see a hen begin
ning to get broody dust her well
with a good insect powder, clean the
nest and give her one or two nest
eggg to set on a ■ days, then if
she will let you ..undle her and
seems a reliable sort, put the eggs
under her. At the end of two
weeks dust her again, for some lice
niay have hatched, and the last
week see that she is not disturbed,
for she may be almost tired of her
job and you don’t want her to quit.
The first thing I do after the chicks
hatch and are ready to be taken
off, is to put a little vaseline on the
top of each head, and rub it light
ly where the egg yolk has slipped
into the little body. The hen should
also be greased with the vaseline,
and a warm dry box is best for a
few days. The ground is cold and
my baby chicks don’t have the job
of trying to warm it up. Then 1
put them in a floored coop.
Don’t feed little chicks any wet
feed, there are several starting
feeds that are good, also oatmeal,
grits, and egg bread that is at least
a day old.

Combining Dairying and Peach
Orcharding
G. W. M„ Thomaston, Ga.,
writes: I am going into the
dairy business with' from/20 to
30 cows. I have 100 acres of
land, 30 of which Is in peach
orchard and can devote the bal
ance to the upkeep of the
cows. I want to get a good
pasture started for summer and
winter grazing. I have a good
stand of alfalfa started on four
acres, and also have some burr
clover. I also want to know
what you think of silage?
Twenty to thirty cows constitute
a very good unit around which to
build a dairy enterprise. It is, of
course, desirable that you increase
your grazing area, and I congratu
late yoti on the fact that you have
established a good piece of alfalfa
to begin with. We have found this
one of the most desirable feeds to
use with our cows. We can cut it
from four to six times a year, de
pending on seasonal conditions, and
it has made an average outturn of
hay of better than five tons per
acre during all the year we have
been growing it on tire college
farm. Bur clover furnishes grazing
fpr a part of the year. If you can
grow it successfully in combination
with Bermuda, it will constitute as
nearly an all around pasture as you
ca nhope to have. Where the lands
are sandy enough to permit them
of being grazed to a considerable
extent in the winter, oatj or rye
planted early in the fail will fur
nish a coir'derable amount of graz
ing. Both of these crops do well
when planted in combination with
hairy vetch.
Silage constitutes the best known
substitute for grass. It will also
furnish you a succulent feed at a
lower cost than you can obtain it in
any other form. We would not un
dertake to establish a dairy enter
prise with the hope of maintaining
it on a satisfactory basis unless we
could have an abundance of silage.
We have used it with great suc
cess for seventeen years. We are
able to make an average of ten
tons or more of it per acre. One
acre is enough to supply feed dur
ing the season in which silage
should be fed. We have fed it ten
months in the year, though It is
better for you not to count on us
ing it for more than eight months.
The best crops to use for silage are
white kaffir corn and red head
or sumac sorghum. Plant these
crops In alternate rows. The sor
ghum contains more moisture than
the kaffir corn. Neither one of
these crops should be cut for silage
until they are practically mature.
They are both good drought resist
ers, and, it is for this reason we
recommend them rather than corn.
-Such corn as you may grow on yout
land may be used as a concentrate.
The dry stalks can be shredded and
used as a source of roughage dur
ing the winter months.
A monolithic silo is the most per
manent type to construct; it is also
the most expensive. Any barrel-like,
air-tight structure will answer verj
well. M e would build a cheap silo
if our resources werg limited. (It is
better to have pne of this type than
none at all, but we believe it is
economy in the long run to build a
substantial structure.
Destroying “Wolves" in Tattle
J. R. H., Marshville, N. C.,
writes: I will appreciate your
advice as to how to get rid of
wolves in a cow’s back.
Warbles or wolves in cattle de
velop from the eggs of the dot fly.
This insect is commonly met with
throughout the southern part of the
United States. When fully grown
the fly is about the sjze of a honey
bee. The eggs are deposited in the
summer on the skin of cattle and in
the region of the heel. They cause
a good deal of discomfort; hence the
animals lick them off. and. in'this
way, the eggs find their wav into
the esophagus or gullet. Then they
work their way through the tissues,
forming the bumps commonly known
as “warbles,” or ‘‘wolves.” which oc
cur on the backs of cattle at about
this season of the year. The best
thing to do is to squeeze them out
as they ripen, and then he certain
:to destroy the grubs. They may
' also be killed by putting a. little
turpentine in the pore. The simplest
i nnd best method, however, is to work
I them out by hand. It would not be
j a difficult matter to eradicate war
■ bles or wolves if every one would
! co-operate in an effort to destroy the
! grubs.

.4 Friendly Meeting Place for All Tri-Wcekly Journal Readers
Pear Aunt .Tulin: Will you plense admit a
Georgia girl into your happy band of
writers? This is my first attempt to write
to this page- (or to any paper); but I cer
tainly enjoy reading the letters from dif
ferent writers.
I notice that some of the writers have
been having a rather heated discussion over
the modern so-called flapper and her pretty
habits, such as rouge, powders, lipstick and
so on. Remember that good thoughts are
the best cosmetics, giving to your face an
attractiveness and to your life influence and
power. When purity of heart vanishes,
winsomeness of face and manner soon travel
after. On the other hand, never forget the
thoughts of kindness that smooth the path
of today for so many weary feet. The girl
who is kind today is only preparing to be
kind tomorrow. Think for a moment, are
you not carving tomorrow while the sun
of today still shines hotly?
As this is my first attempt to write, will
bring my letter to a close. I would like to
hear from any of the readers of this paper,
and will answer all I can.
Will let you guess my age, which is be
tween 20 and 30. Will send my photo to
the one guessing nearest to my age.
With love and best wishes, 1 am,
A New Frriends,
(MISS) E. FAULKNER.

Pear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will yon
please admit a happy South Carolina girl
into your band of boys and girls? I live
on the farm, five miles from Greenwood.
I like farm life fine; but I am working in
town in the cigar shop, making cigars. 1
am crazy about cigarmaking.
How many of you Cousins are going to
school? I enjoy reading the Letter Box
very much.
How many of you Cousins had a dandy
time Christmas? I enjoyed myself very
much, but also appreciated my presents.
As this is my first attempt to write will
go, by asking some of you to guess my
age, which is between 15 and 18. To the
first one guessing my age I will send them
my picture. Will answer a>l letters r>>

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here comes
two South Carolina boys knocking for ad
mittance. We have k een reading The Jour
nal for a good while, especially the letter
box. We live on a farm and go hunting
and fishing for sport and sometimes we gd
kodaking. We like the farm fine. We
like to read books and magazines, but we
like The Journal the best. We live near
the Little Pee Dee river, a very nice jjlace
to go in swimming in the summer time.
Cousins, did you all have a good time
Christmas? We surely hope you did. We
had a real good time.
Guess you all are wondering what we
look like, but we will not describe our
selves this time. Our ages are eighteen
and nineteen. The first girl that writes
will be the first to get one of our pictures.
Guess we will have to close for ’this time,
although we haven't gone near mar limit
yet. We are hoping to get a letter from
all the cousins. We will answer all that
we receive.

Hello, there. Everyone: How are you all
this wintry day? I feel fine sitting by a
good, warm fire. I wonder how many of
the cousins remember me? It has been
almost three years since I came to you be
fore. Since then I have moved to the city.
Well, all of the cousins know what I look
like, so I will not frighten you all this
time. I wonder how many cousins like to
read. I surely da. Some of my favorite au
thors are Zane Gray, Ethel M. Dell and

Dojtr Aunt Julia and Cousins: I wonder
if you all will please admit another Geor
gia girl in your merry band of boys and
I see that most all of the cousins take a
subject in waiting. I will not this time
as I'm not much of a writer as you will
know when I have finished. I have been
a silent reader of the cousin corner a long
time, without courage to write, but could
not resist the temptation any longer.
Like mos.l of the cousins, I too, live in
the country, but like city life best, as I
have tried both. Cousins, how many of you
like flowers? I do. Also like to read. I
have read several good books and I al
ways read the continued stories in The Jour
nal. I'm also a lover of music and good
singing. I would like to hear from cousins
all over the state and exchange books and
songs. Will leave my age for you to guess,
it 'is between 20 and 25. The one that
comes the nearest it. I will send a valen
tine. Cousins, all who would like to write
to a jolly Georgia girl, let your letters
come. I will answer all I can. As I don't
want to break Aunt Julia's rules, I will
go. • Your cousin and niece.

Dearest Auntie and Cousins: Auntie, you
were so kind as to have my other letter
printed. I am brave enough to write again.
This old year of 1923 is at its close, and
I feel assured Auntie has enjoyed being
with her Cousins and them with her. How
did you all spend Christmas? I had a fine
time. I went to two parties (not dances),
a Christmas tree. fantastic riding, and
stayed with my frriends and let me tell
you, ‘ Ole’’ Santa did not forget me. either.
I suppose you are wondering who I ntn.
I am a girl of 15 years of age. I am in
the ninth grade at school.
Gladys Williams, your letter was fine.
You said you did not like algebra. I cer
tainly do like jt.
If this is printed I will come again, and
I will write on a certain subject.
If you cousins wish to correspond with fl

Dear Aunt Julia and (ousins: W,ill you
please admit another soldier of the World
war in your happy band of excellent writers .
I am from the grand old state of North
Carolina, a Tarheel, of course.
Cousins, I agree with you when you say
Aunt Julila is so nice to let so many use
space in The Journal. I like to read, and
do especially like the Bible. Cousins, one
and all, let's all read the Word of God
more than ever, so we will understand more
of His truth. I would toll some of my ex
perience in the army, and some other thrills
while on life's rugged pathways, but space
will not allow.
Now, Cousins, I am not taking up the
powder and paint subject at all, but will
say that either Is all right if not. indulged
too freely, and I think it Is a girl s duty
to look as good as she can..
Will not describe myself at this time.
Will come again if permitted this time.
I am not opposed to the ladies voting, for
if had lots of ladies in office, in place
of some men, we would have better times,
I think.
If any of yon Cousins would like to

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: As I have
never seen a letter from this part of
Georgia, may 1 join your happy band of
boys and girls? I have been taking The
Journal for several years, and like it very
much. I like to read the letters in the
Letter Box, nnd the continued stories are
real jLteresting. 1 live in the country and
like it fine. I don’t think I would exchange
it for the city, although I have never lived
in the city.
What do you Cousins do for pastime? I
read, crochet and tat. so you see, I don't
have much spare time. It seems the
Cousins generally take a subject, so my
subject would be "Kindness." For it is
good to be kind to all you meet, for It does
not cost anything, so any one can speak
a kind word or do a kind deed, meet every
one with a smile and they will smile back
at you. I, had better go before I stay too

don't let the other states get ahead of us.
I have been here once before, but guess
most of yon cousins have forgotten me by
now. Thank you very much, Auntie, for
printing my other letter.
You married ladies write again. I en
joy your letters fine.
I will not describe myself this time, will

Hello, Aunt Julia nnd Cousins: Wonder
what all the folks are doing this time.
Auntie, it has been nearly a year since I
have written, so you will let me in, .won’t
you? I surely do enjoy the cousins' let
ters in the letter box. and I also enjoy the
continued stories in The Journal, especially
"Her Money.” How many of you cousins
have my birthday, June 27? If I have a
twin I would like to have a letter from
you, and will assure you an answer.
I think the letters are so much more in
teresting than they were when I last wrote,
and especially those that discuss some spe
cial subject. Cousins, I wish some one
would take for your subject, "Why Neigh
bors Can’t Agree.” Now I must be going,
but I want to thank Auntie for printing mv
other letter and hope she will find room
for this one.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
Why Should Women Have to Marry
Their Opportunity Instead of Their
Preference? More Tragedies Will
Be Averted When Women
Propose as Well as Vote
Simultaneously with the ad
vent of Leap Year the census
department publishes the fact
that there are 250,000 more men
than women in the United states.
This is more
than a happy co
incidence. It is a
tip to the wise.
Hop to it, girls!
Os all the In
justices under
which woman
has suffered, the
greatest is that
ot not being able
to pick out her
mate. All else
that she has ac
complished is
mere tinkling
brass and sound-
H Jia
So*#
ing cymbals compared to the right
which is still denied her and which
she has yet to gain, of popping the
question. Political emancipation is
nothing to emancipation from the
superstition that makes a woman a
passive agent in deciding her fate.
The ability to walk up to the polls
and cast a vote is a trifle to the
privilege of being able to walk up
to a man and ask him to marry you,
if you happen to fancy him.
Os course, there is no law against
a woman assuming the role of wooer
and proposing matrimony to a man,
but custom and conventions forbid
her and they are a greater inhibition
than any law can be. Os course, as
Mr. Bernard Shaw says, women do,
lay traps and snares for men and
inveigle them into matrimony. Also
it is true that the polite fiction that
a woman never thinks of a man in a
sentimental way until he falls In love
with her is utterly and entirely false.
It is true that a woman generally
sees a man he sees her.
But as the matter now stands, she
has to get in her work in subtle
and underhand ways without rous
ing the suspicion of the man. She
has to turn the trick in the dark,
and this is a difficult thing to do,
and puts her at a tremendous dis
advantage.
More than that, It Is repugnant
to a fair-minded woman to have to
bamboozle a man into marrying her
instead of asking him in< a frank,
straightforward way and thus give
him at least a fighting chance for
his liberty.
We are so accustomed to the spec
tacle of women sitting on the anxi
ous seat, waiting for some male to
come along and drop the handker
chief before them, that we have
lost sight of the cruel wrong they
suffer in not being , permitted to
seek the men they desire as their
life partners. But pause and consid
er .it a moment. Here are a brother
and sister. Fine, intelligent, good
looking young people. Both desire to
marry suitably and found homes of
their own.
The brother goes forth and finds
the girl of his ideal and starts in
on a whirlwind campaign to win her.
The sister also goes forth and she
finds a man who meets every re
quirement of heart and brain. He is
just the man she wants for a hus
band, and whom she could love with
all her soul.
Custom, however, does not sanc
tion her asking this man to marry
her. She cannot tell him how much
she loves him and what a good wife
she would make him and how happy
they would be together. She cannot
“sell’’ herself to him as her brother
sold himself to the girl he wanted.
And so the chances are that the man
passes her by and her opportunity
of happiness is lost.
Millions of women are forced to
marry second-rate men, men who are
uncongenial and unsuitable because
they could not get the men they
wanted. They have had to marry
their opportunity instead of their
preference.
And many and many of these
tragedies would have been averted
if the conventions had given wom
en the right to pop the question.
For most men are blind sentimen
tally and need to be shown a good
thing in matrimony to make them
embrace it.
For women to he able to make
initiative in courtship and pick out

their husbands would add more to
the sum of feminine happiness than
anything else in the world. It would
also be an inestimable blessing to
men, because it would insure to ev
ery husband a good wife and a com
fortable home.
The woman who has had to take
what she could get in the husband
line, not what she desired, is al
ways a critical and dissatisfied wife
and one who makes no effort to
please.
Only an idiotic, moss-bound con
vention keeps women from asking
the men they love to marry them,
and it is folly for the modern, up-to
date woman to be bound by this an
cient myth. Sooner or later it will
be just as much a commonplace for
a woman to pop the question as It
is for her to vote.
Remember that there are 250,000
more men in the United States than
women. The hunting Is fine!

farmers and Railroads
Must Work Together
Next after Farming, furnishing Railroad Trans
portation is the biggest industry in the country;
and these two big industrial groups—the Farm
ers and the Railroads —are vitally dependent,
* one on the other.
What would your farm be to you—or any one
else, for that matter—if you did not have good Railroad
Transportation to haul the things you produce to profit
able markets, and to bring to you the many comforts
and conveniences which you now enjoy? And, on the
other hand, what would the Railroads be worth if the
Farmers did not give them sufficient traffic to make
operation of the Roads profitable?
Farmers who join in the unjust hue and cry against
the Railroads should remember that what hurts the
Railroads also hurts the Farmers. Common sense and
self preservation demand that the Farmers and the
Railroads get together and work together, to their
mutual profit.
The Louisville & Nashville Railroad appreciates its
obligation to the Farmers, and is earnestly striving to
furnish efficient and low-cost transportation from the
farms to the markets; and, from the factories and mar
kets to the farms.
Help us to better
* serve you. s&n
