FOWLS WITHOUT LICE.
Don't Give vermin a Foothoid, and
Your Task viii BE Easy.

Last summer the editor of the
Farmers Review visited the Maine
experiment station. That station has
done great deal in the way of poul-
try investigation. Conditions there
are of the very best, with the result
that the enterprise Is successful. One
of the surprising things found there
Is that there are no lice. Conse-
quently no lice killers have to be
used; the chicks do not have to be
creased after they are out of the
shell; the birds do not have to be fed
enough food to supply both them.
selves and the lice, and the perches
do not have to be painted with anti.
lice paint. All this expense and all
this labor are saved
1t is wonder that consid ering the
great losses we experience from lice
we do not take more precautions to
entirely rid the poultry houses of
them. A few years ago the Farmers
Review sent out inquiries to many
poultry raisers as to the cause of their
greatest losses. Most of the replies
said that the greatest losses were
due to lice. It may be that to lice
are due far greater losses than we
have suspected.
We know very little about how con-
tagious diseases are carried from fowl
to fowl. 1t may be that the lice do
more of this work than any other me.
dunn. 1t may be that a louise draws
infected blood from one fowl and
from 1t infects the next fowl on
which he happens to be.
There is an impression abroad that
there Is little poultry disease where
there are no lice and no dirt. 1t is a
good thing to assume this at any
rate. 1t may be an error, but If 1t Is
the error Is on the part of virtue
Prof. Charles Wood, in charge
OF the Maine station, was asked by
the writer how he could keep his
fowls free from lice. He replied that
1t was an easy thing to do. He start.
ed with perfectly clean pens and
yards. He used incubators that had
never been used before, and he put
into those incubators eggs that had
no lice on them. The chicks Matched
had no lice, and no fowls are pur.
chased and brought onto the farm.
There has to be a beginning for the
lice infestation, and the problem Is
to prevent the beginning. This is
not difficult thing to do.
II 1t can be done at an experiment
station where there are 900 laying
hens and thousands OF chicks, it GER
tainly can be done on any farm.

Dark Poultry Houses.

There are still many dark poultry
houses to be met with in the country.
Some of them are so dark that 1t is
a wonder that tAe hens can get along
without becoming diseased It is also
a wonder how the floor of such a
house can dry out at all 1t is not a
difficult matter to knock hole in the
side of poultry house and put In
window. This should be done now
while the weather is good, says the
Farmers Review. The additional light
will prove great boon to the fowls
which will thrive better because of
the light in their dwelling house. In
the summer time this matter of light
Ia not of 50 much importance as 1t is
in the winter In the summer the
fowls have the run of the farm and
spend but little time in the poultry
house, but in the winter they have
to spend a very large amount of time
there, especially If the location Is in
states where snow remains on the
ground during a considerable part OF
the winter.

TO STOP TRAIN ACCIDENTS.
Railroad Workmen Of Experience Talk
1t Over.


In the switchmen's shanty in the
railroad yards the other night they
were talking of railroad accidents
and what caused them, says the Kan
sas City Star
i saw in the paper the other day
that the railroads were blaming the
accidents upon incompetent EN-.
ployes," said an old switchman who
had worked, in his time, at all kinds
of railroad work. Let me tell you
the reason of so many accidents.
The law used to require the railroads
to have six men to take care of every
six miles of track. Now three section
men care for nine miles. That gives
the men too much to do and they
can't keep the road in repair and
watch 1t as they ought to. The law
ought to force every railroad to have
Waterman on every bridge, night
and day, and when 1t was rainy and
bad the section men ought to go over
the track three times a day"
That's all right" said the foreman
Of the crew. IT'S a good thing and
because the great majority of them
come from a defect in the track or in
a bridge. But would make the rail-
roads, in addition to that, have a track
walker who would go over the bad
places in the track after train
passed. Many accidents are caused
by train loosening bolt or crack
ing rail or weakening the track
some way, and the next train that
comes along goes in the ditch"
Boys, let me tell you" said the en-
gineer, who was sitting upon bench
filling his pipe. THE railroad COM
panies can never prevent accidents
until they give their employees time
to sleep and rest. You've all seen an
engineer who's been on his engine
from "a to 48 hours be sent out on a
run again with only four or five hours
sleep. A man in that condition can't
keep awake. Then, again, an engine
ought always to be inspected after it
comes in off run. Yet it isn't done.
And they make one car inspector do
four mems work. Lots of cars are
on the road that ought to be in the
shops"
A switchman, who was formerly a
conductor of a freight train, said:
ITO save money the roads send out
60 to 20 loaded cars with big mogul
engine instead Of 40 cars. The conse-
quence is the track spreads and the
next train weakens it little more
and the third goes into the ditch"

lower shelf is made extending
only part way across the box. AS
shown in the cut when the egg A,
comes down through the hole In the
bottom of the nest proper, it strikes
on this padding, slides off from the
second shelf and drops into a lower
compartment and gradually rolls until
1t reaches the position of the last egg.
Here 1t is handy for the hand-hole
when the gatherer comes for the con-
tents of the nest. This device is said
to work very satisfactorily and pre-
vents the hen from eating her egg
simply because 1t disappears from her
sight at once.

Old English Railway Station.

The only railway station in England
that can boast of being really old is
that at Bourne, Lincolnshire, which is
an ancient Elizabethan mansion, for.
merly in the possession of the Digby
family. When the Great Northern C
Midland railways came through this
district memorial was sent from the
inhabitants of Bourne asking that, in
stead of pulling the old landmark
down. 1t might be converted into q
railway station, for which purpose 1t
now serves. Part of the house is
used as residence by the station
master.

NOTES ON SHEEP.

Ground feed will not be lost on the
lambs now.
Fatten the lambs we'll before send
ing to market.
Ventilation should be provided. but
direct drafts avoided.
Medium sized sheep usually have
the best and heaviest fieeces.
The remaining part of the crop can
be pulled before frost and stored for
winter feed.
To give best results, not over so
members of mutton sheep should be
penned together.
All fiocks should be graded accord
ing to age, size and condition as far
as is practicable.
Rough hillsides. If they are covered
with rich grasses, make the very best
pasture land for sheep.
Turnips may be made use of as a
fall feed. Turn the flock into the field
and let them cup the turnips.
One good sheep will usually bring
in more profit than two poor ones.
Usually the poor ones are kept at a
loss.
The best fleece will ever be the
mark of the best sheep, provided, of
course, that it has a good thrifty
form.
The most unfavorable conditions
under which sheep can be grown is to
constantly subject them to feeding on
low. marshy pastures.
