ernor and the secretary of the state

fishing of practical trades for prison

a big mouth This is the advice OF
Prof. w E. Morris of the La Crosse
County School of Agriculture, given
to farmers in attendance at the an

a big mouth indicates an ability to dis
pose of a large amount of rOughage,
which forms a large part of the food
of the dairy cow.

BEDBUGS IN CHICKEN HOUSE
From Building and Whitewash
Spray Thoroughly Applied.

Many poultry houses are infested
with bed bugs and 1t is not an easy
matter to dislodge them.
Some people say that turning the
sheep into the poultry houses will in
duce the bugs to attack the sheep
where they will be lost in the wool.
but this Is a poor remedy.
Remove all the roosts and nests
from the house and spray with boiling
hot whitewash to which has been
added q pint Of turpentine to q pail
full.
Another good remedy is to burn the
interior of the house with taroline
mixture which can be bought at any
drug store. Another effective remedy

about four ounces of gum camphor.
II more IL needed double the quantity.
Apply with q brush.
The nests should be burned out over
q blazing fire and the roosts should
also be held over the fire and all
should be thoroughly whitewashed and
painted before putting them back.

writes Fred o. SibIey In the Farm and
Home.
The front, which Ia to face toward
the south, has a good-sized window,
and at each corner are two openings,
12x16 inches, for the hens to pass. In
the end opposite the door there Is q
wooden shutter about two feet square
for air and ventilation, and this, as
well as the window, should have
strong, fine meshed wire nailed on the
outside.
The roosts are located In the rear,
up under the roof. with a platform
below to catch the droppings, 3k feet
wide, extending the whole length of
the house. Beneath this Is another
platform, three feet wide, for tie
nests. For hens on the range such a
house Is just the thing, and needs no
floor If the location is we'll drained
and dry. It will shelter from so to so
fowls comfortably. The interior ought
to be kept we'll whitewashed, and II
the house is set IN the shade Of large
tree it will be all the more pleasant
for the hens to go into on hot day.
The cost of building this kind Of
summer cottage" will be from $12
to SIS. 1t pays to use good lumber,
and two or three good coats of paint
should be applied.

Democratic Platform Deception.


Union Republican,
The Democratic platform states
that in the highest protected indus
tries, such as cotton, wool, steel and
iron, the wages of the laborers are
lowest" This statement is in the
line with a statement made by Con-
gresham Edward w. Townsend,
Democrat, of the Seventh Congress
sional District of New Jersey. When
he was campaigning for his election
he denied Hon. Wayne Parker's state
ment that the protective tariff was
the means of good wages to the work.
Ing men and women. Mr.. Town
sends statement was that it was not
true, and gave as proof that locomo-
tive engineers, bricklayers, masons,
plumbers and carpenters, who have
no protection, get better wages than
the trades that are protected.
You will notice the trades Mr..
townsend mentioned have no COM
petition from abroad. They are ma
turally protected. They cannot ship
houses from foreign countries here,
but the wool, cotton, the steel and
iron industries have to compete with
the low-paid laborers of Europe. The
locomotive engineers have no compe-
utlon. This Democratic tariff plank
Is formed to try to fool the people.
VIII the people be fooled?

induces them to exercise. In the mid
