LET POULTRY HELP WIN WAR
Threatened Hunper Period May Be
Warded Off I# Great Measure by
Attention to Chickens.
The hunger period which threatens
the United States and Its allies In the
present war may be warded off, In part
at least, by attention to the lowly
chicken, snys A. C. Smith, head of the
poultry department of the Minnesota
College of Agriculture.
The hen Is the only producing crea
ture that can be profltubly kept on
small areas such as city nnd village
lots, that will transfer table waste Into
a highly edible product. She selecV*
from waste material, bugs, weeds and
grasses a large part of her living for
several months In the year, and dur
ing tills time Is usually a high pro
ducer of very fertile eggs. She re
produces her kind much more often
than any other productive animal.
She can be cared for by women and
children ami often by Invalids and
convalescents.
For these reasons, Mr. Smith urges
that every well-selected hatchable egg
should be set at this season when eggs
are lower In price than at any other
lime of the yeg£
ftther poultry Including dueks, geese,
and squabs should also receive careful
atteatlon In view of the present and
future food situation.

Investigation will show these chicks to

head lice are boring into the little
heads, and gorging about the throatt
of the victims. Treat With salty
grease, melted and rubbed In well,
to prevent using too much. Too much
grease will kill the chicks, especially
If they arc exposed to the hot sun.
Grease the heud, throat, u bit under
each wing, and about the vent.
Give the hen a good treatment for
lice. When a chick gets out of order,
llco multiply much faster on If. Many
cheeping chicks usually Indicate some

DONT CROWD POULTRY HOUSE
Allow From Two to Four Square Feet
of Floor Space for Each Bird
of Small Varieties.
Do not crowd, the poultry house.
From two to five square feet of floor
space per bird should be allowed. Tho
exact ratio should depend upon the
breed nnd the extent of the yarding.
As a rule It will be found advisable
to allow about four square feet for
tho lighter breeds, such as the Leg
horns.
CARRY FINE FOWL PROPERLY
Allow Bird to Rest on Forearm With
Its Head Between tha Carrier's
Arm and Body.
When carrying a fine fowl, hold the
legs with one hand and allow the bird
to rest nn the forearm with Its head
between the carrier's arm and body.
This will prevent Injury to the wings
and tail, while making the bird com

SPLENDID WHITE WYANDOTTE COCKEREL.
OtT C. B. ANDERSON, Colorado Agricul

While you are swatting the old

make him a capon. June Is the best
time for caponizlng the surplus cock
erels. If young birds are beginning
to develop combs and wattles, they
ore ready for the operation. The
heavy breeds should be caponlzed at
about two to two and one-half pounds,
the light breeds one and one-half to

PULLETS BEST LAYERS
Egg Production Depends Largely
on Method of Feeding.
Where Forcing System Is Employed
Hens Are Kept Confined In Small
Yard and Given' Only Egg-
Producing Ration.
The age nt which a hen Is most prof
itable for egg production depends
largely on the method of feeding and
the purpose for which the bird Is kept,
in the opinion of N. L. Harris, super
intendent of the poultry farm at the
Kansns State Agricultural college.
If the object Is heavy egg produc
tion, without expecatlon of using the
bird for n future breeder, the forcing
method Is adopted. By this method
the hens are kept In a small yard or
house, aud are given a ration which Is
higl&ln egg-producing elements. By
this method the reproductive system Is
worked to Its highest capacity. It Is
seldom that a bird will be able to
stand up under such feeding condi
tions for more than one season. This
syßtem of forcing Is followed by large
commercial egg plants, the object be
ing to get the greatest possible Income
from the hens In tho shortest time.
Tho forcing habit has given rise to
the statement that the pellet year Is
the most profitable of the life of the
hen. As the great majority of hens
are kept on the general farms, where
the production of eggs Is merely a side
line, forced feeding Is not practical,
the general plan being to allow the
hens free range, and feeding them so
as to produce only the normal umount
of eggs. Cared for In this way, hens
of the small egg breeds will produce
nearly, but not quite, as many eggs
the second season as the first. Those
breeds which have a tendency to put
on fat readily usually become unprof
itable the second year.
Hens that are to be kept as breed
ers should never be given highly con
centrated feeds. If this should be the
case the hens will not be In n good
physical condition to produce the best
of chicks.
OFFENSIVE FLAVOR TO EGGS
Matter Not Given Much Consideration
by Bhlpper, but It Often Worka
Against Him.
Flavor In eggs Is seldom given any
consideration, but It often works
against them. Onions will flavor eggs
decidedly, and other foods will have
some Influence, so the purer and more
uniform the food provided for the
hens the better the flavor of the egg*.
It Is not n fair deal to ship eggs to
consumers that will be tainted before
they can reach them, and fertile eggs
can be partially spoiled In three days
If the temperature stands tihore 00
degrees. A nonfertlle egg will keep
good for n long time, and the hot
weather has little effect on It for u
week or even two under ordinary con
ditions.

POWDER TO DESTROY VERMIN
v
Maine Experiment Statipn Recom
mends Mixture of Gasoline and
Carbolic Acid.
A good and cheap louse powder
can be made nt home at a cost of but
n few cents per pound. Here Is one
used and recommended by the Maine
experiment station : Take three parts
of gasoline and one part of crude car
bolic ncld, using the 90.95 per cent
carbolic acid. A weaker acid Is Inef
fective, warns, the station experts. If
that canot be obtained at a reasonable
price, creosol gives as good results as
the highest grade carbolic acid, and
may be substituted for It, using one
part creosol to three parts gasoline.
Mix these together and add gradual
ly enough plaster of parls to take up
nil the liquid, stirring constantly. This
will take about four quarts of plaster
of parls to one quart of the liquid,
but the exact amount must be deter
mined by the condition of the pow
der. When enough plaster has been
added, the resulting mixture should be
a dry, plnklsh-brown powder having
a fairly strong carbolic add or creosol
odor, and a less pronounced gasoline
ador. Work the powder Into all the
feathers. After a minute or two, hold
the bird over a paper and loosen and
shake the feathers. The lice that drop
out, dead and dying, will convince you
of the value of the powder as a louse
killer.

sugar In varying measure, averaging,
perhaps, about 20 per cent. Thd
chief damage results from the larva
tunneling lengthwise through the ma
ture cane, not killing It, but injuring
it severely, retarding its growth, and
subjecting It to the fungous disease
known as red rot A measure of
damage follows larval attacks tipon
very young plants, resulting in what
Is known as dead hearts.
The moth borer feeds on a nftmber of
plants other than sugar cane, render
ing usual methods of control extraor
dinarily difficult and, for the most
part, not efficacious. Experiments in
poisoning, attraction to light traps,
' and the like have not proved effective.
Five definite recommendations are
made, however, other than the Intro
duction of parasites.
! How to Fight Pests.
! Scraps of cane left about the fac
tory and derricks after the grinding
season should be destroyed, probably
by burning, and cars in which enne is
shipped should be kept free of such
scraps. Seed cane should be planted
lc the fall and kept as deeply covered
as practicable. Cane for shipment be
yond the Infested area should be se
lected so as to obtain It free from
borers or. If this Is Impracticable, It
should be soaked for at le,ast a» hour
Banish the Borer From the Bugar
Cane Field*.
t
,In bordeaux mixture or a'solutlon of
nicotine sulphate previous to ship
ment. The "trash," "leaves," or
left on the fields after cut
ting should not be burned but should
be lightly covered with earth In the
(fall and plowed out in the spring. The
cutting out of "dead hearts," and
dead plants Is said to be theoretically
i sound practice and, where an abun
dance of cheap labor Is obtainable,
might be recommended.
■ It Is pointed ont that the introduc
tion of parasites has proved effective
In Hawaii, and that experiments in
the United States have given promis
ing results. If the introduction of
beneficial parasites can be undertaken
It should be done on a large scale, and
It would be advisable to station two
men In Cuba to collect the parasites,
and ope In Louisiana to receive and
ultimately to release .them on thq
plantations, *%■
