The BLOOD SUCKER HEAD LICE.

Our scientific big guns call the head
louise Goniodes eynsfordu; poultrymen
call him the bloodsucker, and well
they may, for this crawler gets the life
blood of millions of chicks and reduces
the vitality Of many tiocks.
The head louise and the gapeworm
perhaps divide honors evenly as chick
and turkey poult destroyers.
SO it isn't question of 'look leetle
out" but you must fight these head
lice all the year round on young and
old stock if you would raise the maxi
mum to full maturity and get the best
returns from flocks.
Head lice are hard to kill.
Very few louise powders knock them.
and few louise killer manufacturers
confess it and make a special head
louise ointment to hit this bug.
Pure Persian insect powder will do
the trick. and you'll find all the head
lice and body lice in the bottom of
the basket if you spread it on thin
cloth that covers the chicks in that
basket on the kitchen hearth.
Grease is a great bloodsucker knock
er.
Grandmother used pure lard. She
rubbed little on the head. neck and
throat and a trife under each wing.

Portland people are discovering
Oregon. During the past week an
excursion was run into the TiHamook
country that was an eye-opener to
the 100 participants. Only a small
part of the crowd had ever been to
Tillamook before and they came
back to Portland singing the praises
of that favored section. As Portland
people become better acquainted
with the rest of the state and learn
that everything they have comes
from this outside territory, it will be
better for all concerned.

FEATHERS AND EaesAElLs.

FEATHERS AND EG6SiiELLS.
Many a fertile egg Is spoiled by bad
handling-a knock iuptures the EN-.
bryo, extremes of heat or cold, damp
ness, bad air, filth. these all affect the
life germ. Eggs shipped by express are
often queered by baggage smashers.
so many set too many eggs under a
hen. Few hens can cover more than
fifteen, and then only safely in warm
weather. From ten to thirteen is about
the number given to hens by experts
The colder the weather the fewer the
eggs.
Many will complain this season be-
cause turkey eggs do not hatch or
poults are weak. 1t is simply the old
story of overfat breeders who have
been fed excess carbohydrates (corn)
all winter instead Of rightly balanced
ration.
When the old hen begins to lay and
whip her chicks it's time to wean
them. Trying TO force an old hen to
hover chicks nearly always ends in the
death Of some of them. and we have
known a cluck to skin the backs of the
whole batch.
Fowls. during breeding season espe-
cially. should have green food. Expert
ments not only show that green food
not only promotes greater egg produc-
ton. but eggs stronger in fertility. As
green foods fresh clover or alfalfa are
best. Sprouted oats. beets and cabbage
are also good
II is a puzzle for some turkey raisers
to know what to do with their turkey
poults when there is n long wet spell.
Many just let the poults run to death
in the rain and then blame their bad
luck" on the awful wet spring" It's
easy to solve the problem by having a
dry open front shed covered with fine
mesh. and the poults scratching in fne
litter in such a place are in comfort
and grow though it rain cats and dogs.
Secretary Wilson must have got

INTEND TO DRIVE
TURKS into ASIA
Balkan Nations Insist on DiVid-
ing Conquered Territory.

Belgrade, Servia, Nov. 10.-"The
league of the Balkan nations is ut
terly opposed to making Albania an
autonomous state as desired by Ger
many, Austrla-Hungary and Italy,
said Premier Pachitch of Servia in
the course of an interview here.
The premier laid emphasis on the
fact that the allied Balkan states
were working in harmony on all
questions. He declared that they de-
manded the complete disappearance of
the sovereignty Of the sultan from
European Turkey and the division Of
the territory among the victorious ma
tions belonging to the Balkan league.
The partition of the Turkish terri
tory, he said, had already been ar
ranged along broad lines by the allies,
the only questions left open for dis
cussion being those relating to the
destiny of Constantlnople, Salonik1
and the Dardanelles. Hin. #.. ...
The fate of Constantinople and the
Dardanelles. said the premier, would
be left to the decision of the European
powers. AS for Saloniki, however, the
Balkan allies had not reached an
agreement as to who was to have it.

SerVia's Invasion Of Albania
Cause Of the Trouble.

London, Nov 1O.-All Europe faces
the avowedly imminent danger of a
great war which may change the en-
tire map of the continent
Flushed with victory and absolutely
ignoring the threat of Austria-Hun-
gary that she will not tolerate the
Servian occupation of Albania or of
port on the Adriatic sea, the armies
Of King Peter continue their bloody
advance through the country, which
they practically have been ordered to
remain out Of. They also are making
their way rapidly toward the Adriatlc
coast with the object in view, it is
considered, of seizing one or more of
the ports.
The powers forming the triple al
tiance-Germany, stria-Hungary and
Italy-and those comprising the triple
entente-France, Great Britain and
Russia, are divided as to the policy
to be pursued when peace between
Turkey and the Balkan allies finally
shall have been brought about.
Meanwhile a million soldiers are
scattered across the territory of Eu-
ropean Turkey engaged in one of the
most deadly wars Of modern days.
Austria Has Supporters.
In the attitude assumed by AUSTRIA
Hungary with reference to the future
Of Servia in Albania it is known that
the Austrian government has the sup
port of Germany and Italy.
The attitude Of the powers of the
triple entente, however, is not yet al
together clear. Russian popular feel
ing, however, will force the govern
ment to take the part of the Slavic
states and when Russia does so she
can count on the support Of her ally,
France, and Of her friend, Great Brit
ain.
This is not because they particular
ly care whether Seryia gets all she
wants or not, but because if they want
Russia's help when they are in trouble
they must support her in her day Of
trial.
King Ferdinand Of Bulgaria, it is
said, viii probably lead the allied
army into CCnstartinOple in person.
He may be accompanied by other
Balkan rulers and these will be ac-
companied by strong Bulgarian, Ser
Wan, Greek and Montenegrin CON
| tingents.
