LICE ON PIGS.

Coal oil is sure death TO every
louse II touches. but II does not al
ways kill the eggs and must be used
with caution TO prevent blistcrinG
the skin Of the hog. When a large
drove is treated the work can be
done very quickly by using spray
pump. having an attachment for mix
ing the oil and water. and the pump
should be so that It will have five
parts OF water 10 one part OF oil.
When such n mixture IS thrown
over the hogs in a fine spray. only
a little OF the oil Is used TO cover
the whole animal. and II the spraying
is done in the evening nearly all the
oil will have eyaporated before
morning. and there will be no blis-
tering OF the skin when the hogs are
exposed to the sun on the following
day. So little oil is used IN the
spraying that few Of the eggs will be
killed. and the work should be repeat
ed az the end OF the second week. II
the work Is thoroughly done. three
sprayings will be sufficient.
Lice never infest clean hogs when

has clean drove cannot be too care

should be allowed on the premises.
and any which are purchased should
be examined very carefully before

Do not oyercrowd the brooder. but
limit 1t to a little less than its actual
capacity. A brooder to accommodate
100 chicks should be large enough to
easily hold 200 or more. AS sure as
you overcrowd them you will have dis
ease and very soon the flock will be
reduced. Keep the floor clean and
change the chaff every two or three
days in the beginning. and every day
as the chicks grow older.

Sunf]ower seeds are excellent for
poultry. They should be fed during
moulting season, and when getting
stock ready for exhibition, as it gives
gloss to the feathers. They are easily
raised. Farmers can plant them in
fence corners or in places that will
not interfere with their other crops.
If planted in the chicken runs they
will furnish shade for the chicks.
Try few seed this year.

At Redstone, where the great coke plant Of
the company is. the club has gymnasium and
a theatre, and supports a dramatic association.
AS severe a problem as any is the mining camp
boy. He likes to be thought grown up and
tough" To be allo we'd to hold sponge at
prizefght. to carry beer to the scene of the con-
test and to swear like real miner are his high
est ambitions. Accordingly, boys clubs have
been organized in many of the camps, and some
of the worst boys have been elected officers.
The idea of responsibility seems to be a great
factor in their reform. DR.. Corwn tells of
camp worker who had just organized a boys
club when she learned that there was to be a
finish fight in q saloon one night
Knowing that all the boys would be there,
if nothing was done to prevent it." said the su-

was so prevalent that at times the mines had
to shut down. Here the company decided to
erect clubhouse with bar.
The CoaIbasin Club is a one story frame
structure of four rooms, with wide veranda.
The barroom is Immediately in the rear of the
porch. It is absolutely plain, without mirrors or
other decorations Liquor advertisements
which might suggest drink are barred, and
even the bottles are kept out Of sight. There is
a billiard room a card room and a reading
room. The rules Of the club, printed in English,
German and Italian, are prominently displayed
one Of the first clauses is of unusual interest:
The club will sell to its members, visitors
introduced by members, wines beer and liquors,
but in order TO promote their temperate use, and
believing that each member and visitor has the
intelligence and ability to buy what he wants
and when he wants it without suggestion or aid
from any one, treating viii be allowed.
This rule is rigidly enforced, and the effect
may best be told in the words Of Dr.. Corwin,
who said Thus far the experiment has been
most successful and encouraging Only two or
three cases of drunkenness have occurred in
Coalbasin since the opening Of the club. and In

the sociological department as well as the head
OF the company's medical staff. believes that
the Keynote OF the company's success along
these lines is that nothing has been forced upon
the people. lntimation was given TO the miners
at one of the isolated camps that the company
was ready TO build a clubhouse whenever the
men wished to supply the furniture. The offer
was accepted and the clubhouse erected. II
was not long before other camps heard of the
innovation They, too, asked for clubhouses, and
every year sees one or more added to the list
There are camps in Colorado where all Of the
land is owned by the company and saloons
can't get a footing. Yet liquor found its way
there, going to private houses, ostensibly for
family use, but in reality to be sold to the men,

some source other than the club. Under present
conditions to get drunk is bad FORM and men
are ashamed to drink more than two or three
times in one evening. Ordinarily the miner
takes drink on coming into the club and plays
a game or two of cards or pool followed by a
second drink. Then he goes home having re-
