Cleaning the Poultry House.

During the summer months it is 4
serious matter to allow the droppings
to accumulate, as they serve as harbor-
ing places for the lice when dry. The
proper mode is to carefully sweep the
poultry house every morning with q
broom, and then to scatter dry dirt on
the floor and under the roosts. The
dry dirt makes the sweeping an EASY
matter If the work is done daily, but
II postponed for two or three DAYS
some of the droppings will stick to the
hoor. 1t is but q few minutes work If
plenty of dirt is used. After sweeping
the floor, put the droppings into q
barrel or throw them on the land.
There will be sufficient dirt with them
to preserve them. If the floor, after
being swept, is we'll busted with air
Stacked lime once a week. and dirt
scattered on the lime. it will serve to
assist in preventing lice; but the lime
will injure the dropping some, though
it matters not, provided the dro,pinps
are at once spread ON the lands. When
the droppings accumulate the result is

house which are disagreeable to the

Henry Singer, well-known ana

Farming Is Not Chance Work.

IT is safe to assume that present con
ditions will be reversed, or at least
greatly changed in the future, and pos
sibly in the near future. Farming mt

dustry. The future holds out but lit
tie Of good prospect for the man who
depends on chance. Only few years
ago the west went wild over horse rails
ing. and now there is surplus of
horses, but we believe with improving
prospects, for the depression has been
SO great and continued so long, that
the change Is liable to come soon, and
when 1t does come then many that
should be ready for it will then have
something else, SO the saying with
them will be true-"that what they
have to Ell is always low priced and
In poor dcmand.r In the future. as in
the past, those who are ready to sup
ply what the market demands win be
in condition to reap reward for Ia
Dor, while those who trust to chance
will have to sell in competition with
those who are supplying an over-sup-
Piled market. The farmer needs to
look to the future and prepare to sup
ply what the markets will demand in
the future, for it is impossible to speed
lily change and supply those things
that are in demand. Those who can
foresee and be prepared to supply those
things that will be sold at profit will
do well, while those who trust to
chance may fail.-Northwest Farmer.

i. All subscribers who do not

2. If subscribers order the dis

publisher may continue to send it
until all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers refuse or neglect

4. Subscriber moving to other

Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held re-
sponsible.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
Office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
of intended fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time they do not wish to

have postal card sent notifying the
