A RueHousE DREAM.

One night as lay on my pillow
had such terrible fright
dreamed l turned into a rooster
And was roosting out in the night.
The wind was freezing my comb off.
My toes were froze fast to the tree.
A skunk down below waited In the deep
snow
To make chicken salad of me.
/ felt lice crawling all DER me.
They crawled. they scratched, and they
bit.
They called me an old boneyard chicken.
Well, indeed, was far from fit!
was thinner than Jobs old turkey.
What / ate had scratched from rot.
A few grains of corn. some musty old
seed.
Was all the whole day had got.
froze there and thought my life over
John Bughouse had made life so drear
l decided to end my existence.
The future held nothing Of cheer.
When along came man with hatchet
And l cried: please cut off my head
I'd rather be dead than be bughouse
I'd sooner be skunk feed instead!'
relate this strange dream for John Bug
hope he'll not miss future bliss.
But If he wouldn't go where the hot nres
glow
He must quit bughouse business in this,

a WORD ro sILLYs ma.

When Billy wants to run barefoot,
Now, mother, don't say, "Nay!
Just pat the kiddie on the back
And say, ''Of course you may"
He may get his pink toes all stubbed
And have a toenail torn.
But he will not get pigeon toed
Nor later wear corn.
When Billy wants to take q swim.
Ma. don't get scared to death.
Don't think he'll sink quick as a wink
And die for want of breath
Make Bill pair of swimmin' pants.
To learn to swim you should.
Why not go take a dip with BiiIf
A bath will do you good.
When Billy wants to go to fish.
Why, mother. go long too.
Why, you're an expert fisherman.
Now own up. Aren't you?
Say, didn't you bait hook for pa,
And didn't you catch him slick?
Now just go long with Billy Boy
And teach him your old trick.
When Billy wants to set hen
OF course you win say, Yes"
Those early frys and winter eggs
Come in good. you confess.
Then Bill may with his FURNISHED brain
For his fine hens so care
That he may. like the rest OF us.

OLD TIME LIME WASH THE

Remember the time you yelled bloody
murder when lime got into your eye
while whitewashing the fence palings
and the chicken coopl
Pity folks don't use lime as they did
in the old days. There would be less
microbes after humans, less bughouse
in the hencoop and fewer nasty smells.
Yes, there are those modern awful,
odoriferous disinfectants that kill a
bad smell with "worser" one.
We like old time lime wash; it's
cheaper, hits the spot, makes the hen
house white and light and makes the
place sweet, fresh and like new.

pour hot water on it. cover while it
slakes and steams, let 1t stand till per-
fectly slaked and becomes like fresh
putty. Then mix with hot water and
strain into the sprayer and let the
sprayer go. and soon all's as white as
snow.
Enough crude carbolic to make 1t
sting and sprayed into every crevice
makes the wash even more effective.
How to make government white
wash? Here's the tip:
Slake half bushel Of lime in hot
water, cover. let steam, then strain,
add a peck Of salt that has been dis
solved, pour in three pounds Of ground
rice boiled to thin paste, add half
pound of Spanish whiting. a pound of
glue that has been dissolved, and add
FIVE gallons of hot water to the mix
ture.
Stir, cover, let stand week and ap-
ply like paint This is the best and
most brilliant lime wash made. 1t may
be colored to suit your fancy. and a
quart of carbolic acid should be added
when applied inside the poultry house
