Only at the chamber of deputies is the beard still seen at Its best. SOME NOVICE ON CHICKENS Miss Juanita Neely Gives Valuable Pointers to Poultrymen Miss Juanita Neely, state poulttry specialist, has lesued the following information through the county home demonstration agent: Those of you who -are doing your best with your chickens this year have a fair chance to make rood this tall and winter. Some reports show that in the states there are about 30,000 pullets less than there were last fall. This points to a better price for eggs.

Now is the time to begin push. ins your pullets along to maturity. They should have complete body development before they begin laying. General purpose breeds (Rhode Island Reds, Rocks, etc.) should begin laying between six and seven months. Light breeds (Leghorns) should begin when about tire months old.

The following mash formulas are recommended for feeding pullets for est production: 100- pounds yellow corn meal 100 pounds heavy ground oats, 100 pounds wheat middlings, 100 pounds wheat bran, 100 pounds meat scraps, 5 pounds salt. 300 pounds yellow corn meal, 200 pounds ship stuff (mill rum), 100 pounds meat scraps, 5 pounds salt. Either of the above formulas will give -good results if properly mixed. After starting on a ration: do not change. Changes unless made very, very carefully, will throw the pullets out of condition and most likely into a heavy molt, thus knocking up egg production.

Those of you who expect to have your flock tested for White Diarrhea get in touch with Dr. W. K. Lewis, State Veterinary Department, Columbia, 8. C.

Plans are being made for this work and ycu should not put it off until winter or spring before making application. Union Extensive ments made to swimming pool here.
