The world is all in a wobble
And the turkey has failed togobble
On account of the great depression
He can’t find words for expression.
He has failed to sell his cotton
So in Denmark something is rotten
And the letter said please remit,
Which almost made him take a til.
The son has contracted speeditis
And the daughter has appendicitis
The horse and cow are lame,
And the way they hop’tis a shame
The gander has a broken thigh
And the chickens are roosting high
Tite cat has caught the sneezes
Aud the pig has the wheezes.
In adversity his friends failed to call
But he didn’t set and bawl
He will arise like a might Titan
And may take pleasure the world

Doing nothing is no stunt,
So a job they set out to hunt.
To Chicopee village they went,
Like an arrow from the quiver

Down there the places are full
For work—rnuuy are waiting as

They became frightene 1 at the
cars,
And tore down the warping bars.
Then they decided lo return to
White,
Where tlie hawk and buzzard are
to fight;
On the highway, to walk they
choose
And the dust covered their cow¬
hide shoes.
When they reached the county site
Their appetite was about right.
Of Claude Alien, the cook, they
thought,
So his home they sought.

Should the Hens lie Sold.
Right now now ^ew jew of the
flocks are producing eggs.and
are high. Some farmers, or their
wives, are getting somewhat
gusted waiting ror the old hens to
lay, and are selling rather heavily
Outlook Is Brighter For Poultry
With the prices of corn and
wheat lower than it has been for
several years and the price of eggs
on the increase, the outlook For the
poultry industry appears brighter,
in the opinion of Dr. M. A. Jul!
poultry specialist, of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Another point in favor of the
poultry-man is that heavy cuilingof
the fartn fiocks during the. past
spring has reduced the number of
laying hens by about 20.000,000.
Ordinarily these hens would not
have been culled out until fail.
Still another factor which makes
the future look brighter for the
poultry tfiis winter is the fact that
fewer chicks were hatched last
spring than usual. Dr. Juii be¬
lieves the immediate future of the
poultry industry to be fairly good,
particularly for those who produce
eggs and high quality for ifn.rket,
for hatcheryman who produce high
quality chicks, and for farmers and
for farmers and commercial poul
trytnen who give tueii flocks the
best management and who prac¬
tice efficient culling.
Free Culling Demonstration.
Many people owning poultry
have not yet learned to cull.Ck duty
Agent Cooper Morcock will Jhoki
a culling demonstration for raTa'Sji
who will invite 10 of his neighbors
to be present so they can learn at
tiie same time.
Pullets are sometimes l.ard to
select until after they have come
into production. For the benefit:
of those who are unable to attend
the demonstration at Mrs. Ayres,
a few of ttie points to be consider¬
ed in selecting pullets for layers are
given here. Begin at the head.
The most desirable birds will have
(1) flat broad skull over the eye,
head depth equal to its length ;(2)
bright full promiment flashy eye
well up toward the skull; (3) deep
full breast giving large heart capac
tty; (4) good size of bone for
strong frame; (5) good depth from
rear of back to end of keel bone
for abdominal capacity ; long keel
bone to support the intestines; (6)
long broad back , the width carried
to end of b ick.
If you feel you must sell some oi
your chickens, select them careful
ly. Get rid of most of the roosters
and the cockerels first. Then pro¬
vide the flock with plenty ot mash,
a scratch mixture of half corn and
half wheat. The corn does not
have to be ground or cracked, and
see that the birds have plenty of
green stuff, oollards or cabbage
leaves are flue, or plant some rape,
rape, turnips or grain for them.

Hello! Mr, Editor. As vve have
been absent from your columns for
several issues will write again We
enjoy the weekly visits of Tne
Courier and compliment the
respondents in their made of giv
ing the news.
While in Cleveland Saturday we
shook hands with Mr. Augustus
Palmer for the first time. Mr.Pal¬
mer sold us he was a prospective
candidate for County Treasurer.
Some fellow said he is a candi¬
date for Coroner. That fellow
mants to see the dead men, a> they
are the ones that count in coroner’s
mark. The live men make the
other officers pay.
We had a pleasant conversation
in Cleveland Saturday with Mr.
jasper Allen. Mr. Allen talks
religion and practices the same at
home and abroad too many church
members talk awfully good at times
and then when in a crowd they tell
vulgar tales and the sinner can’t
tell^whether that person is a
Christian or not.
A number of the farmers ol
Shoal Creek district was in Clveve
land Saturday receiving their fruit
trees from Mr. J. C. Edwards, the
nurserman from Morganton, Ga.
1 'he (last Grand jury honored
Mr. Ben McGee with reappoint¬
ment on tiie Finance Committee.
Mr. McGee is an honest man and
so far as his part is coticerued will
make a truthful report of the
county’s financial condition.
Next year is election year, and
the people will decide whether it
is best for a new set of officers to
take charge of county matters or
let the old “bunch” still hold down
the fat officers can fool a part of
the people all the fimr, but they
can’t fool all of the people all of
the time.
We met Mr. Luther Turner in
Cleveland Saturday. Mr. Ttirnei
married Miss Dora Davis ft of Sliaai
Creek, and was our naighbor

ported the many good things that
Mrs. Allen had to eat and a large
crowd at the shucking.
