FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Would Have Rural Mail Carriers AS
sist in Fire Protection.

The United States Forestry depart
ment is taking up with State Forest
Commissioner Mace the matter OF
making every rural free delivery car
rier to a certain extent a fire warden.
The proposal is that the rural free
delivery carriers shall be required to
notify postmasters and others whom
they may meet on their route Of any
forest fires that may be in progress in
order that the regular wardens may
have an additional source of informa-
ton
Commissioner Mace believes the idea
To be Il good one, although in Maine
the rural carriers routes for the most
part do not extend into the forestry
district. The requiring of such action
upon the part of carriers would, how
ever. greatly assist in disseminating
news of fires in timberlands in organ
lied plantations and towns and would
tend - greatly reduce the fire loss in
timberlands in organized territory.

The Deep Litter Myth

sixteen inches, the one foot, even the
eight inches of straw was nonexistent.
/ can only say now that [ hope | may
be forgiven the deception.
Not long ago I visited pretty fine
chicken ranch; nice place, nice
buildings, nice BIRDS and "a foot of
straw on the pen floors and Lord
what mess it was. The poor fellow
was playing the game according to
Hoyle. All the authorities called for
a foot of litter and he didn't propose
to renige. But as the man doesn't
live who can shovel out foot of the
confounded stuff as fast as it gets wet
and messy and undesirable and as no
chicken raiser's bank account would
stand the cost, even if he could find
time to do the work, the straw stayed
until it was wet and foul and positive
ly dangerous; a menace to the health
of his fowls.
So let us try to undo some Of the
harm done by the first poultry An
anias who fed his hens their grain in
a foot of straw; and advise Constant
Reader and the rest of that loyal
band to use just enough litter to serve
as door mat for the hens in wet
weather, removing it as soon as it be-
comes fairly damp in wet weather or
becomes at all foul when the weather
is dry. 1t will be found considerable
of job to remove even few inches
of moist and foul litter from a fair
sized pen. If the fowls are to be fed
in the litter it must be fairly clean
and that means frequent removal.
Allowing five square feet of floor space
to each hen, the litter should be re-
moved every ten days or, at most,
every fortnight during the winter and
almost as frequently in the summer.
