Our old friend. Newton Banner
of Sugar Grove, was in town a short
while - Tuesday forenoon. He was in
his usual hilarious mood and dispensed
a number of good iokes, one
of which, at the expense of the Democi-atK
party, is ton good to keep, so
here it is. He told of a lite-long liepublican
who changed his political
faith; in fact, he was thoroughly converted
to the principles of Democracy.
The change was so astonishing
to him, and he felt so happy that
he took a vacation in order that he
might more fully enjoy his change
-of heart. He wandered off to one of
his barns, sat down in the sun, and
felt so supremely good that he fell
asleep. Alter a good, long nap he
awoke, and in his dreams, he said,
he was stealing his own tobacco and
hiding it behind his kitchen as a result
of his political change. This is
only one of Newt's latest jokes.

Sanitation Necessary
For Healthy Chicks
Success or failure with citv i>v^*

io n is applied
"Theiv are swipe new ideas in
iK?i?Itry sanitation at this time," says
H; C.' CI auger. poultry disease specialist
at State College- "Methods
considered sati&ayUiry frv o 01 ten
yctrrs ago cannot be relied upon now
for parallel with the increase in
poultry production has come an hi

have his brooder house and eo/.u;>r.ient
as clean and as free from vermin
as it is possible for him to g"?
it."
The two methods of disinfecting
brooder and poultry houses are Hie
use of chemicals ami the newei usi,of
heat. Chemicals, says Mr. Fuugei
include all of the common liquid disinfectants.
These are good but practically
none of them kiil the eggs of

For that reason, Mr. Uauger recommends
the. use of heat. A common
blow torch five pun will do the
work. If a pouKrynian does not wish
to invest in one for himself, he may
pet his neighbors to go in with him
to make the mu Chase. The flame,
for this torch produces a heat of
from 1S00 to 2000 degrees and will j
kill all living organisms with which-j
