socalled ''louse-killer," and before we
| knew 1t our turkeys and chickens were
literally alive with lice. Whether 1t
has lost its strength or was bogus we
are not prepared to say. but every
time 1t was applied the little fowls
became so sick that some of them
came near dying.
1t had a worse effect upon the tur-
keys and chickens than 1t did upon
the lice. Then we began to use lard.
rs we used to do years ago. before
''louse-killers' came into general use.
Up to this time we had lost Is tur-
keys and twice that number OF chick
ems. all because the "louse-killer"
failed to kill lice. No more turkeys or
chicks died. but thousands OF lice did.
Great care must be exercised lest a
little too much is applied. Just little
is enough. and 1t must be put on where
1t will reach the lice.
Take little on the end OF the fin-
ger and apply wherever the lice are
found. Olive oil may be used instead
OF lard. Lice cannot live long in
either. and both are harmless to the
little fowls unless too much is used.
The grease should not touch the
bare spot under the wings II It can be
avoided. and the head should not be
CREASED unless one is certain that
either lice or nits are present.
A young turkey needs sunshine.
Some people make a practice OF shut
ting their turkeys up in close. dark
coops for the first week or two after
they are hatched.
These are the people whose turkeys
die without any cause"

This will fill up the last gap in a

Forsyth in direct communication eth

desirable as great deal Of business

report but knows that this construction
work is along the lines as adopted by
the Hughes company when they pur-
chased a few weeks ago the Rosebud

VICTORIA FARE CUT
To TWO BITS
STEAMSHIP LINES AGAIN
BEGIN SLASHING RATES AND
WARFARE MAY LAST AS SUM-
MER.

/ Seattle, May 1.-The steamship
companies engaged in rate war on
the Victoria route this morning turn
ed loose the big guns and slashed
the fare between Seattle and Victoria
on the big boats to 25 cents each
way. the figure at which it stood last
summer Any belief on the part of
the public that the rate war is near
settlement was effectually dispelled
this morning when the International
Navigation company fired volley
into the Canadian Pacific camp by
cutting the rate to Victoria from 81
one way and Sits the round trip to
% cents one way and so cents for the
round trip.
The American company had been
operating the Whatcom at the 25-
cent rate during the winter and for
a few days the Chippewa, larger
and better vessel, piled to Victoria at
the low fare Last Tuesday, however,
the company started skirmishing
along the picket line and raised the
rate on the Chippewa to 81.
This move was met with a prompt
response by the Canadian company,
which had been operating the Prin-
cess Victoria and Princess Royal
through the winter at So one way,
which Immediately cut the fare on
the Princess Charlotte, their new
boat, and the Royal to 81 to meet the
new rate of the American company.
The International Navigation COM
pany this morning lowered the rate
to % cents on the Chippewa, and
within an hour of the time this was
announced the Canadian company
stated that hereafter the fare Oh the
Charlotte and Royal would be %
cents to Victoria.
There is much speculation along
the water front as to how long the
war will last The exposition this
summer will make more steamboat
business than the present fleet can
handle even at higher prices, and the
wise ones say the scrapping COM
panies are simply throwing away
money to operate their boats at such
an unreasonable figure Meanwhile
the public is having it's inning and
making the most of the opportunity
to ride on the fine ships at the mod
est fare now being charged.
