cI.,nino the Poultry Hou.e,-rhose

Cleaning the Poultry House.-Those
that advocate the cleaning of the poul
try house once week set the matter
of cleanliness too low. The poultry
house should be cleaned out once q
day. as much as the barn or the stable.
If it is cleaned every day the work is
insignificant, while if done once a
week it is much more Of a task.
Sometimes the cleaning out is done so
seldom that the boards become damp
and rotten under the roost. The
longer the periods between the clean
ings the less likely is the work to be
done at all regularly. The only way
to insure a regularity in the cleaning
Is to have the work done every day.

NAL. The lowest temperature
reported was 26 degrees on the
morning of the 11th. The
highest reported was 80 de-
grees, at Sioux City on the
18th. The amount Of precipi-
tation was very light, and was
mainly in the form of snow
furries in the northeast dis
trict, the larger part of the
state being practically rainless.
The continued cold and dry
weather has been unfavorable
to the normal termination of
seed and growth of vegetation.
But reports indicate that there
has been sufficient warmth and
moisture to maintain vitality
and promote the slow growth
of small grain, and the fields
give promise of fair crops if
normal weather conditions ere
restored in the near future.
The damage to cereal crops by
freezing has not been as great
as former reports indicated.
The fruit crops in the southern
half of the state have suffered
most heavily.
J. Good progress has been made
in corn planting, and the soil
has been sufficiently dry tc
preserve the seed from damage
by the protracted cold weather
The bulk of the corn acreage is
in fine condition, and planting
is likely to be completed a!
early as usual. The worst eff
, fects of the abnormal weather
are in evidence in the meadow
, and pastures. The hay crop il
J likely to be very light.

Harrison County Man Direct
From the Canal Zone.

Nonpareil, May l3.
sThere is a great organization
down on the isthmus now. 1t
the loggerheads up here in the
states will just let things alone
down there the canal will be
dug all right, and it won't be
long in the doing, either"
This is the declaration made
by %. S. Garrison, formerly
clerk of the district court of
Harrison county, who for the
past two years has been with
the legal department connected
with the Panama canal and has
been a constant resident on the
isthmus. Mr.. Garrison is at
home on an eighty-four day
vacation, which will end during
the second week in July, when
he will again return to the
isthmus. He was in Council
Bluffs renewing acquaintance
and looking after business
interests.
Where to Put Dirt. "Tht
great trouble down there JUS
at present is not to get the dir
and the rock out, but to get il
away and to find a place to pu'
it after it is out. Some OF th'
material has been haulet

with perfect ease. In the soft
dirt the big dipper goes like a
hot knife through butter.
Railroad is Up-to-date
"Most people think the Panama
railroad is little narrow
gauge affair something of a
plaything. AS a matter of
fact, the track is six inches
wider than the standard gauge
of this country. The cars are
mammoth affairs bigger than
anything W. have here and the
engines are the largest that
can be procured. A big lot of
new rolling stock has just been
secured and more is coming.
"People who make short
visits to the isthmus howl be-
cause ship load after ship load
of French machinery is lying
on the ground and no use is
. made of it. AS a matter of
fact those tools and implements
are mere toys, mere playthings.
1t would be an aggravation to
put them in operation. 1t
would be a mere joke to make
, nretensa of doing a lob like
that with machinery like that
the French company had.

to the real residents and
workers of the isthmus who
have lived there long enough
to become thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the work and the siiua-
ton than to read the news
paper and magazine articles
prepared by would-be investi-
gators who come down, spend
two or three days on the
isthmus and then return to the
states with the idea that they
have seen it all and are
thoroughly competent to con-
denim or commend the enter
prise, according to which view
of the matter they have been
paid to uphold. The mass of
misinformation which has been
published about the canal and
the situation there is utterly
