Cover the sroken Window.


When a window Is broken In the
poultry house 1t should be covered
without a days delay. by no means
should the aperature be left over
night. II Is but the work Of a few
minutes to tack over the hole thick
piece of muslin or other white cloth.
This will keep out the wind and let
in some light. IL muslin Is not han
dy, paper can be used, and II the
broken window forms so large a part
of the whole through which light
comes. the paper may be oiled and
tho light thus given access. This is,
of course, only n makeshift till some
one can get the glass needed. The
writer knows OF case where the
roup started In a flock because q
broken window was left unattended
to for few days in March. Two of
the fowls on the roost nearest the
broken window contracted the dread
ed disease and gave II to others in
the flock. with resultant great loss TO
the owner. We have heard of poul-
trymen that preferred TO have mus
lin window panes in the place OF
glass, as they claimed that the muslin
window let in enough light for all
purposes. but kept out the glare of
the sun, and also that in summer
time it let in the air both night and
day. Where the winters are mild this
may be used to some extent. but we
doubt IL it is safe way to get ven
tilation In the northern winter.

Warm Drinking Water in Winter.

In much OF tho weather we have
in winter the water freezes very
quickly IL set out at the temperature
at which 1t Is drawn from the well.
To permit the fowls to have all the
water they desire, 1t will be necessary
to warm the water to about 100 de-
grees. 1t will take some time for the
temperature Of this to fall to 80 de-
grees. This given twice a day will
keep them supplied with the liquid
with which to make eggs and flesh.
1t must be remembered that much of
the eggs, as much of the flesh of
fowls, is water and that all food must
be greatly diluted before it can be
used by the system of the fowl. The
lack of sufficient water always results
in a check to the digestive opera.
tions, The coldness of the water also
acts as temporary check. The more
water the fowls drink the better 1t is
for them, and the more pounds of
flesh and more dozens of eggs they
are likely to produce.

1t is Said That Calcium Will Compete

Richard C,uenther American consul

the following account of the discovery
of a new explosive to the state depart
ment:
German papers state that acetylene
gas generated from calcium carbide
by the simple addition of water has
not met expectations, which, however,
were very great. ON account of the
ease with which a gas for lighting
purposes could be obtained, 1t was be-
lieved that it would be used very ex-
tensively but the boom in the accty-
lene industry did not last long. New
uses for the gas have been looked for
is it's use as an explosive.
BY means of an air mixture eXplo-
sive force is obtained which can COM

mite. The explosion takes place in an
air chamber and is caused by an cleo

About Soil lnocuIatic n.

Many highly extravagant claims for

that inoculating the seeds of legumes,
or the soil upon which they are to be
grown, with certain forms of bacteria,
is all that is required to make them
produce enormous crops, besides Won
darfully enriching the soil. These
claims are in nearly all cases very far
beyond the truth, and mary farmers
are induced to spend money for some
thing which will not produce what Is
claimed for it.
It is quite true that leguminous
plants, of which the clovers are famil-

agency of certain forms of bacteria,
which live on their roots, the Sc legumes

Sheen Prosnect..

The great decline in the number of
sheep kept in the United States, as
well as in many other parts of the
world, has much to do with the high
price of beef and sheep regardless of
where the price of cattle and beef
goes to. Good authorities estimate
that in 1870 there was one sheep to
every man, woman and child an this
country, while today there is not half
that number. Allowing this to be
true, with the present strong demand
for mutton, it will take some years
before the country is glutted with
sheep. 1t will pay and pay well to
give every attention to the lambing
flock this spring and to save the last
lamb possible There is no better way
to do this than to have the eve in
good hearty condition before the lamb
comes.

brought about by long continued sys-

NEW Works NEW BANK LAW.

The state of New York has amended
her banking laws by an act making 1t
q misdelneanor for anyone connected
with a bank or trust company to ac-
cept a commission for securing lean
for anyone from the institution with
which he is connected. The act has
been signed by the governor and is
operative.
Z 1t was pointed out by the advocates
Of the new law that hundreds Of men
entirely trustworthy as actual handlers
of money nevertheless would recon-
mend loan on questionable security
in consideration of a liberal commits
sion, a handsome present, or some
personal pieferment for themselves of
members cf their families, and the
example afforded by the failure of a
Buffalo bank which was due to bad
loans secured thru the influence Of
persons connected with the bank who
were paid a liberal commission for
their part in the transactions, was
quoted.
The law seems good one to copy.
The percentage of banks wrecked by
deliberate embezzlement when set
against that of those ruined by care
less and ill-judged loans is compare
lively small. Many bank officials who
would not steal a million outright are
willing to borrow for speculative pur-
pose from their own banks and let the
depositors take their chance Of loss
along with his chance of profit. Too
often as shown out by action of the
New York legislature they are willing
to recommend shaky loans to others
for consideration.
Recent events have shown the wis
dom and necessity of more careful
legislation and supervision of banks.

tirely trustworthy and these will not
only approve but urge revision of

tecting the, depositor.
