OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED DY LIZZIE O. THOMAS
GET READY FOR WINTER EGGS
Some people came to see me yes
terday to find out why their hens
did not lay. The man said he had
fed thpm enough corn to have fat
tetied -wo hogs, and they had all the
buttermilk they could consume. ' I
said 1 could not tell why they did
not lay, it' they came from a laying
strain, unless I knew more about
them, but 1 would show them all of
mine and where I kept them, also
show them what the hens are eating
right now.
The first thing that the lady no
ticed was that the entire flock had
clean legs, not any scale, next they
had rosy combs, next that they had
all the shade they wanted without
going under the house to get it.
I admitted that uhey went under
the house some time every day; it’s
a job for me to keep lime under there
and once a year 1 get busy and
keep them out. But such weather
as we have had for three weeks sends
them under there. That’s my back
yard flock; those in the yard sur
rounding the special pens have all
sorts of devices to make shade, and
dusting places for the flock. Look
yours over and if they have scales
on their legs, are suffering from
scaly leg, get some black oil, the
sort that is used to kill mange on
the hogs, and take an old toothbrush
and scrub the scales with it. One
application usually is enough. Then
paint the roosts with the black oil
diluted with coal oil. or paint them
with stock dip that has a pint of coal
a quart of dip and a gallon of
I prefer the latter as the oil
the feathers and sometimes
sriWls a nst so much that the eggs
will not hatch. There are many
Lhings that our government bulletins
idvise that do not suit the southern
poultry keepers.
1 have been experimenting this
year with two flocks, and want to
advise you to go slow about culling,
unless you have actually paid atten
tion to the flock. Ask yourself this
question, after you are sure that the
flock is and has been clean of ver
min: "Have I kept up the egg ra
tion all the time? Did they begin
to quit laying before I quit feeding
them the balanced ration?” You re
member the people who came to see
me said they fed on corn and all the
buttermilk that their flock wanted.
Both splendid in the right places, but
if a sack of wheat bran had been
substituted for half of the corn the
man bought I feel sure that he would
have sold eggs. There was nothing
to make albumen. There are hun
dreds of dozens of yolks that are
formed in fat hens fill over the coun
try that lie in the sack until the
next one pushes it away and then is
absorbed in the hens digestive or
gans because there is nothing to
make the white of the egg.
Six weeks is about the time that
i hen needs, absolutely, for moult
ing. Then she can be gradually
itarted back to normal. That gives
you August and half of September,
ind by the time the flock is ready
o furnish egges they will be at a
;ood price.
1 don’t ask any one to change a
method that is a success. In other
tvords, if your flock begins to lay in
Dctober and lays all winter you have
them d|i the right range and feed,
but if you have not had any fall
sggs in the last year or two, suppose
sou feed them lightly for two weeks,
on half ration and then begin to
give them a good laying mash and
it least one good feed of green stuff
a. day and some grain. Have sour ,
milk, and all the water they will j
irink, and if you have never had
FARM EDUCATION

Dur Progress Along Animal Hus
bandry Lines
A correspondent writes: What
progress are we making towards
the development of an enlarged
live stock industry in Georgia?
To what extent can institutions
such as yours help in this move
ment?
We have made substantial prog
ress in the lirie of enlarging some
jf the more important phases of
our live stock industries during the
past two years than ever before in
.he history of the state. This is a
muse for sincere congratulation, be
miufee.lt shows that we are on our
way, and that we. can make such
additional developments as the con
ditions of the times may properly
warrant. There are now in Geor
gia about 25 creameries. The amount
of butter manufactured this year will
total between 3,500,000 and 4,000,-
100 pounds. While we are still only
naking about one per cent of what
xactiially need, we have made a
growth during the last
’■nnium. Our turnover from this
source probably amounted to $2,-
000,000 in 1923. Cheese factories
have been established in the Pied
mont section. They are doing well.
The cheese made is of prime quality
and is being sold profitably in our
local markets. We are now manu
facturing better tahn 500,000 pounds
of cheese a year worth from $150,-
000 to $200,000. Our poultry inter

special drinking vessels for them be
gin now. It will astonish you how
much water they will drink if it is in
a shady place, and so that they willl
see it all the time. And you remem
ber that water is the cheapest thing
in a hen’s diet, and one of the im
portant ingredients, for an egg is
65 per cent water. If you don’t
furnish it where can she be certain
.to get it?.
We southern people are losing one
of our best opportunities to make
the flock pay when we fail to start
the hens to laying by the middle of
October and do not have a comfort
able roosting place for them when
the cold rains begin to make the
nights chilly. A hen that has to
roost in a cold place has used her,
vitality in keeping warm and has
none to manufacture eggs. See?
Living in the country, as I do, 1
am confronted with the problems of
the real “dirt farmer's” wife, and
1 have kept books till I can tell you
pretty accurately what expenses,
are, and how much waste a leaky
henhouse causes. Last week 1 went
to the feedstore in Tuscumbia, and
I wish that every one of you could
deal with as accommodating men. I
began to look over what they had.
my flock has been on the range and
only getting the mixed feed at night,
so now I believe from the color 6t'
their feathers they are ready to drop
the old clothes hastily and put on
their new feathers. I have had sev
eral in my hands and see the new
feathers ready to come. The lay
ing mash I want is $4.25 for a hun
dred pounds, and the mixed grain $1
cheaper. Oats have been boosted till
they are almost $1 a bushel; bran has
not changed, so I decided that I
would get five bushels of oats and
a sack of bran, soak a bucket of oats
every day and next evening make
F istiff with bran, omitting the grain
in any other form, and this will be
my flock’s ration till September. Now
pay attention to this, the flock will
have the range, and this ration is
practically turning them into an
oats field, and all of you know
what a fine place that is for hens.
You must not overfeed them with
the bran and oats, for it is fattening,
and all fat hens do not lay. It takes
study and judgment to manage a
flock. Local conditions must also
be taken into consideration, \and tiie
hens that have a grain field* to run
in need only the bran for surely they
get grasshoppers as well as grain.
Don’t forget to give them the epsom
salts and the sulphur once a week.
Few flocks that have had clean
roosting quarters this summer and
are fed on the salts and sulphur will
be bothered with sore head in a vio
lent form. Shut the doors and make
the flock roost in the open from now
till cooler nights. Get some sort of
supports outside and put the roosts
on them, first giving the roosts a,
good painting of stock dip, and the
flock will not be so liable to roup.
It often comes from the hot nights
and too sudden cooling when they
come out in the early morning.
It’s hot to do much work now,
but it’s better to be safe than sorry,
and now is the time to subscribe for
the winter eggs, and we must pay
in advance by fixing things so tjpat
they will be delivered when we want
them.
N. B. —The visitors decided that
mites, scaly legs and old age might
be causes for their egg shortage. I
showed them that my laying hens
were not in the same flock with my
youngsters. Don’t feed your pullets
for eggs, that you expect. Ip use next
spring for breeders. Let them grow
and mature gradually.
ing 1923. The increase in the vol
ume of this business may be con
servatively placed at $5,000,00(1. We
are coming back with hogs, though
at a much less rapid rate than is
desirable. There has been a fairly
good increase in the number of dai
ry cows, and the quality also has
been improved. I do notSthink I am
overstating the case when 1 say that
our gains along the lines of animal
industries in 1923 grossed $10,000,-
000, and we should do better than
this in 1924, providing we do not let
the fetish of all-cotton ruin us again.
Those who believe that Georgia is
now well favored as a live stock,
state should acquaint themselves
with,what has happened on the farm
of the Georgia State College of Ag
riculture at Athens. It represents
an old plantation taken over and
converted into a live stock farm for
the definite purpose of seeing what
could be done along the lines of ani
mal industry in Georgia when her
hour of need as a state for the es
tablishment of a new agricultural
policy arose. This farm has been
operated for 17 years. During that
time the gross turnover has amount
ed to something over $200,000. The
returns from the sales of animals
and animal products have totaled
about $175,000 and from cotton, $25,-
000. In only one of these 17 years
has the farm failed to show a profit.
We are busily engaged in teach
ing the young men of Georgia who
come to our institution the funda
mental principles upon which a suc
cessful live stock business may be
predicated. We need to educate a
lot more men along this particular
line than we have come to us up to
the present time. We ask every
citizen who is interested in the «fu
ture growth and progress of the
state to see that more young men
are induced to prepare themselves
for leadership in the field of
live stock farming through special
ization in the courses now being of
fered through the agency of the
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
This is not a selfish propaganda,
but. a plea for building up a class
of farm operators and owners capa
ble of developing one of Georgia's
basic, but much neglected interests
to the extent which the economic
laws of nature demand. We eanndt
over-ride* or set aside these laws, be
cause They are God's laws. The more
nearly we co-ordinate our efforts,
therefore, with the type of farming
procedure which He evidently ex
pected us to pursue, the greater will
be the degree of prosperity finding
permanent residence within the con
fines of this commonwealth.
The live stock business, relatively
speaking, is a new industry in our
state. Its future growth and ex
pansion depend on competent and
sagacious direction and manage
ment. It is the business as well as
the privilege of this institution to
emphasize instruction along these
lines. We ask the farmers, live
stock growers and business men of
Georgia to help us to function as
successfully in this field as the op
portunities and urgent needs of the
occasion demand.

Pear Aunt Julia and Cousins: 1, a
little Missouri girl, with brown hair and
eyes, seventeen years of age, join the happy
band? This is a very level country and ex
tremely beautiful. Yau see for many miles
around -great plains overflowing with gold
en grain or some other crop. Corn, wheat,
rye. watermelons and cotton are our chief
crops. The latter is a newly introduced crop
here. Last year was the firsd. time any was
grown here on a commercial scale. It did
extra well, therefore a vast acreage is in
cotton this year. We are trying it on a
small scale; have 140 acres devoted to cot
ton. You southern boys and girls write and
tell me how you like to work in the cotton
field. 1 don’t think I would like it much
have my first lesson to take. yet. I am s
country girl, as you can readily see, but 1
have a better time than the city girls, as 1
have a car to ride in. Come tip, people; we
will ride out on the broad, open plain and
watch Old Sol as he goes sinking behind the
endless plain. Oh, if I were a poet I would
write about the glowing sunset and the deep
blue dome of Missouri. It is enough to hold
anyone in a continual reverie. I would tell
a little about this country, but my vocabu
lary 'is much too shallow to give this coun
try the deserved justice. If anyone cares to
know more about this unexcelled country
and a little brown-eyed girl who abides
therein, just send me a line. 1 surely will
endeavor to give a prompt response. All
who care to send a photo. Au revoir.

letters, though all the familiar names have
dropped out in the last few years since I’ve
been away to school. I live on a farm, five
miles from Jhe nearest town, and I like to
live in the country. I think nothing is so
beautiful as the works of nature. What do
you cousins do for pastime? I like all out
door games and sports, such as fishing,
swimming, basketball and others. . I’m also
a bookworm and like to read good books and
stories. I see the ’’ldeal” and several Other
subjects are being discussed, but, as I'm
here for only a short visit, I'll not take a
subject this time. If I’m welcomed this
time I'll promise to have a subject when I
call again, for you know it's hard for a
stranger to talk to such a large group of
people as ybii, so I'll describe myself and

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
If You Would Be Happily Wedded,
Don’t Pick a Girl for Iler Looks
or Her Childish Prattle—Don't
Marry a Reformer —Above All,
Select a Girl With a Sense
of Humor
IN picking out a wife: Don’t marry
a girl just because she has a
| pretty face, because that js the
onle matrimonial bet on which you
at§ bound to lose out eventually.
Time, ill health, children, the gen
eral wear and tear of life rob a wom
an of her beauty so that she who
was a living pic
ture at twenty
is often a chro
mo at thirty and
a scarecrow at
forty.
You can get
awfully tired of
looking at any
one set of fea
tures, no matter
how classical
their outline is,
nor how well
tiltey are assem
bled, if they are
nothing but a
lovely mask, nor
K JiF
rx- J
will you long thrill at the. touch of
golden tresses with a natural wave
in them if they cover a dome of solid
bone. Moreover, a beauty is almost
self-centered in vain anti-accustomed
adulation, and i she expects her
husband to be always on his knees
burning Incense before her, instead,
of being willing to do a little busi
ness with the punk sticks herself.
Don’t majry ’a girl who chicjien
pecks her family unless you want to
be chicken-pecked yourself.
If Maud tells father and mother
where to get off, and her little sisters
and brothers stand in awe of her, be
sure that the man she marries will
wipe his feet on the doormat when
he crimes home at night and give up
smoking because she does not like
the odor of tobacco. Any girl who
can boss her own family can ter
rorize a mere husband with one hand
tied behind her.
Don’t marry a girl who is a
natural-born reformer. Before you
are married to her, and when x you
have only occasional doses of it, it
may seem very swpet and senti
mental to you to have a dear little
saint trying to lead you up to the
higher life, but after marriage it
doesn't make for harmony in the
home to have a critic on the hearth.
No wife is more pestilential, or
gets more on her husband’s nerves,
than the one who was born thinking
that everything that she doesn’t
want to do is wrong, and that it is
her sacred duty to interfere in all
lies husband’s habits and pleasures.
Don't marry a poor girl who
dresses beyond her means.
The girl who is willing to let her
mother work her fingers to the bone
sewing for her, and run her old
father in debt to provide her with
finery, will have no mercy on her
husband's pocketbook, and will keep
his nose to the grindstone as long
as he lives. /
Don’t marry a simple li title ingenue
who rolls her eyes at you, and asks
you artless questions about things
that any child should know.
There is something peculiarly at
tractive to meh in female morons as
long as they are eighteen and have
peaches-and-cream complexions. But
the trouble is that they don’t stay
eighteen and lose their complexions,
and then they are just plain fools.
Whenever a man speaks of the
woman to whom he is married as his
“child wife” he presents a tragedy
of boredom that would draw tears of
sympathy from a stone.
Don’t marry a helpless little cling
ing vine. It may make you feel
about* seven feet, high, and big and
strong and chesty as Jim Jeffries, for
some dependent little creature to
flop around your neck as limply as
a wet dishrag and ask you what to

do and what to think, but it is only
at times that a man enjoys nourish
ing a parasite. He doesn’t want it
tor a steady thing.
He wants a wife who will know
when to do the clinging vine act and
when to have as much backbone as
a telephone post. He wants a wife
who will defer to him, but who will
go along' and run her end of the
matrimonial partnership without
burdening him with the details.
Don't marry a girl who thinks she
is artistic and who wears sloppy,
floppy clothes, and whose hair looks
as if it had been combed with a
vacuum cleaner.
That kind of girl will never sweep
under the beds nor gather up the
soiled towels in the bathroom, nor
keep a house where there is any*
comfort and order. Beware of the
girl who tells you that her soul is
above the sordid material things of
everyday living, as you would the
leprosy.
Don't marry a girl who is tem
peramental.
The girl who is always flaring up
and getting angry about nothing
may be fun to quarrel with before
you are married, but it is far from
amusing to have to walk on eggs
after you are married to keep from
soiling a wife whose temper is set
on a hair trigger and liable to ex
plode at the slightest jostle. Every
man's ideal of home is a place of
peace and rest, not a battleground
where he has always to keep on his
fighting clothes.
Avoid also the tender, sensitive lit
tle creature who bursts into tears
on every occasion, and whose deli
cate sensibilities are always being
wounded.
There are few wives more afflict
ing than those who keep their feel
ings spread all over the place, nor is
there any domestic atmosphere more
depressing than that of the house
hold which has at its head a woman'
who always keeps her ears turned on
at the tap.
Don’t marry any woman who af
fects to despise domesticity.
A woman may have every charm
and virtue in the world, but if she
does not know how to get the most
out of a dollar, how to set a good
table and manage a house and make
her family comfortable, she is a
failure as a wife, and her husband
will rise up and curse the day he
married her.
Don’t marry a woman without a
sense of humor. There are so many
things in married over which a
woman must either laugh or cry, and
your happiness and well-being de
pend upon-your wife having a funny
bone.
If she can see that her husband is
the greatest of all human jokes, she
will smile at your fussy little ways
and let you enjoy them in peace in
stead of trying to reform them, and

Jeanette Rankin
To Grow Pecans on
Clarke County Farm
ATHENS, Ga., July 30.—Another
national celebrity soon will take up
residence in Athens and Clarke coun
ty when Miss Jeanette Rankin,"first
woman member of the United States
congress, comes here to make her
home. Miss Rankin, it is stated, has
purchased a sixty-acre farm hear
Athens on the Monroe road and will
raise pecans. She expects to move
to this county at an early date and
is making arrangements now to
erect a new home on her property.
Miss Rankin was elected, to con
gress in 1918 as representative-at
large from the state of Montana.
Running as an independent Republic
an and in a state which contains
three men for every two women, she
defeated a well-known Democratic
editor on the same day that the state
supported the Democratic candidate
for president, elected a Democratic
governor and chose a Democrat for
' her colleague in congress.
| Miss Rankin attained national
I prominence in the vote on war' in
I 1917 in the house when she cast
her ballot against this country en
tering the conflict.
she will smile at your peccadilloes
and forgive them, instead of lam
basting you for them.
Follow these don’ts, sons, and
when you marry you will get the
right girl, and be happy ever after.
