TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Indian Runner Ducks.

The Indian Runner ducks are very
easily and quickly raised, being nearly
full size at eight or ten weeks Of age.
If Matched early and well cared for
they will lay in tile fall and make
good layers until five or six years Of
age and will lay as well as any chick
en- hen, and there is much less labor
in caring for them. They are not sub
ject to disease and do not have lice
or mites, which is quite an item in
poultry raising. .
Indian Runner ducks are to the duck
family what the Leghorns are among
the chickens. The large pure white
eggs are characteristic Of the breed as
the white eggs are Of the Leghorns.
Green eggs are certain proof Of i'm
purity. Hollis Fawn and white strain
are everlasting layers of!swfite eggs
anu are great money makers. They
are great layers and small eaters.
which is a very desirable trait. They
can be Matched as late as September
and get their growth and be ready to
lay before cold weather. When they
are properly fed and cared for they
will begin to lay at the age Of four
months and will lay continuously.
Their eggs are fine for culinary pur-
poses and will sell for 8 to 5 cents
more per dozen than hens eggs.-Farm

Poultry Notes.

There are many pet theories on how
to make the hen lay proftably, but
here is the secret in a few words:
Feed her well, house her comfortably
and keep her free from lice.
The large producing hen is the re.
suit of unceasing care and effort upon
the part Of her owner.
You can't expect profits from the
hens unless you feed them right and
give good care generally.
The hen that is confined in a damp
house or must stand on a damp floor
will never lay proftably.
The chickens need plenty Of sharp
grit or gravel. It's what keeps their
teeth in commission.

KEEPING POULTRY
LICE IN CHECK
Dust Baths Should Be Provided
and Houses Sprayed

Lice may be found on the bodies of
fowls at oil seasons Of the year. They
multiply very rapidly in warm wealth
er, and it is then that the greatest
harm is wrought.
There
. ure several insect enemies OF
poultry-uce, mites and aeas. It is
the red hen mite which is worse than
all the others combined. This minute
creature increases ut a remarkable
rate when measures are not taken to
keep It In check, and hens will not
lay nor chickens grow when their life
blood is being sucked by this pest.
Dust is fatal to almost all insects,
especially the soft bodied ones. The
fowls should therefore be provided
with q dust bath at all times. az this
is the method nature has given them
Of keeping at bay their insect enc
mics. Dry and finely pulverized earth

Ordinary melted lard is good In de-
stroying lice on the bodies Of fowls
and chicks, but should not be used too

When setting hens 1t is never nd
visable to apply any grease to their
bodies, but they may be busted with
some good insect powder. while the
nests nay be busted with powdered

been placed under arrest pending fur
ther investigation.
According to information gathered
by the police, the controller on Halls
car, south bound on Jefferson street,
blew out when it was a short distance
north of the Swan street crossing.
Hall decided to turn his. car to use
the controller at the other end. To
do so he switched into Swan street,
with the intention of running east to
a crossover switch just beyond the
viaduct. The switch into Swan street
brought him upon the downtown
track so that in making for the cross
over switch he was compelled to run
counter to the incoming cars.
