CHILD CUSTODY
HEARING Is On
MINISTER or GOSPEL FIGHT.
ING TO RETAIN POSSES
SION OF HouFF CHILD.

Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. "a hear
ing is being held in this city in the
matter OF the Pitman Houff child GUS
tody case. The story of the develop
ments leading up to the action in the
court is an interesting one. William
Pitman and his wife separated at
Starkweather, N. D., and the husband
left for Virginia, leaving his small
daughter, Edna, in the custody Of
Rev. Pitman of that place. That oc-
Cured in 1909.
About a month ago the husband
and wife had become reconciliated
and Mrs. Houff went to get the child.
Rev. Pitman refused to surrender
Edna" and the mother resorted to
the law to gain possession OF her
child. The point in the case over
which a bitter fight is being waged
Is that the father and mother are not
capable of taking care of the girl.
The mother claims that Pitman has
no legal right to her daughter, as no
legal adoption had been made.

DEMAND FOR FAT CHICKENS
Annual Report Of Prof. Graham Of On
tarIo Agricultural College Gives
Interesting Figures.

The following is part Of the last
annual report of Prof Graham OF the
Ontario agricultural college;
There is an increasing demand for
well-fatted chickens; in fact, the de-
mand exceeds the supply and dealers
find themselves forced to fatten the
thin live chickens offered In the mar
kets In order to get the supply of fat
ted chickens required by the trade.
Dealers inform me they cal pay high
rentals for buildings and have sour
milk or buttermilk shipped in by ex-
rress, and yet have nice margin Of
profit. Surely our growers could do
this cheaper.
During the past year is depart
ment has had over 60 different indi-
viduals fatten chickens. and nearly ev-
eryone has been successful. The av-
e-age bird gained about one pound in
two weeks feeding. Each bird on the
average consumed four pounds Of
grain and six pounds of milk. for the
pound Of gain made. Poor gains were
made from Leghorns. Hamburgs and
such cockerels. These birds made fair
broilers, but unsatisfactory roasters.
fEo ration used consist of one-third
each OF Underground oats. buckwheat
and corn. This was mixed to the con-
sistency of pancake batter with sour
milk or outtermilk. The birds are fed
lightly during the first few days or I'M
til their appetites become keen, after
which the ration is gradual increas.

other animals Of the bovine species,
and II the tick can be kept from get
ting on their hosts, they will starve to
death. This being true. methods Of
eradication have been devised which
have proved very effective when put
into practical operation.
One may pick the ticks from the
animals before they have obtained
their growth. This prevents new
crop from developing. This method
is only practicable where there are
few animals on the farm. Another
method where a limited number Of cat
tie are treated is to sponge or brush
them with crude petroleum. cottonseed
oil, or equal parts of kerosene and
lard. Where the pastures are badly
infested this treatment should be
pursued every ten or twelve days. care
being taken to smear the tail and
legs thoroughly. When large num-
Der of cattle are maintained, spraying
in chute is the best method of de-
stroying the ticks. Any ordinary
spray pump may be used. On large
plantations a dipping vat should be
constructed. II built Of concrete it VIII
last indefinitely and 1t may be built
by ordinary farm labor. Probably the
most complete and satisfactory meth
cd of destroying ticks is by rotation
Of pastures or feed lots. Ticks may be
destroyed In four and a half months
by dividing part Of the farm, say
into four lots. Field A should be a
permanent pasture: field B is cult
waited In farm crops and sown in ce-
reals In the winter; field G should be
used for soiling crops, and field d Is
! Bermuda pasture or velvet beans.
Those desiring to secure details OF
this plan can do so by applying to the
Georgia College of Agriculture for bull
letin lat. II the cattle are removed
from permanent pasture A on June 15
and kept off until November /, 1t will
be free Of ticks, and in the meantime
they should be maintained on fields G
and D. The simplicity, efficiency and
practicability Of this plan, which may
be so easily adopted on the greater
part Of our farms, renders 1t one of
the most desirable methods of destroy
ing ticks, and It does not involve much
expense It is worth while making the
effort needed to free our lands perma-
nently from this menace to our live
stock industry.
