best wishes of the entire community
and surrounding country as they were
well known in the county.
Mr.. William Brown, Jr. and family
have moved to this place. He bought
the place from his Uncle John some

she is some better.

And frozen stcppes and tropic skies
Acclaim the Christmas morn.

THE POULTRY DOCTOR SAYS


Doping all the hens in flock be-
cause one dies or is sick is a peculiar
and foolish method of some fanciers.
This generally puts the whole bunch
off their feed and stops laying, and
these conditions confirm the dope
iend's funny opinion that they've all
got 1t, and so he dopes them again. It's
far better to remove the sick fowl.
clean up and disinfect, study the flock
and especially to scrutinize ones meth
ods closely. for it's often what is fed
and how it's fed that brings sickness
among the flock.
"Cholera" is a term often applied TO
poultry disease in summer, but there
is mighty little cholera among the
fowls of this country. These intestinal
troubles, this Indigestion, that some
what resembles cholera, have their
cause mostly in rank. rotten yards.
lack of shade and greens, dirty drink
ing water, hot sleeping quarters, multi
plying lice and mites and feeding too
much heat, fat producing corn in warm
weather.
The plaster droppings of ducks that
soon cover the whole surface of a yard
should be systematically removed dur
ing the development of the "ducklings
or serious results, such as intestinal or
rheumatic troubles, develop or the
stamina of the stock is lowered.
We have seen 100 ducks die in two
days, and an investigation showed it
was not the feed, as supposed, but the
microbial mess through which the
quacks waddled every day and which
fertilized the desert air with its awful
stencil.
Unless very hungry, hens will not of
ten fill up on mash that is too wet, be-
cause they seem to know it is not
wholesome. Same with a mash where
moldy ingredients are used. Both
mean intestinal irritation and scours.
Feeding small chicks and turkey
poults sloppy feeds is cause of much
mortality on farms. The majority of
poultrymen feed nothing wet to chicks.
To be right a mash must not only be
composed of good grain products, but
should be crumbly and of such consist
ency as not to stick to the hands.

I'VE big tuny hen that's a dandy.
She always does her best.
She doesn't sport any fancy frills
Nor Wear a rounded crest.
But when she scratches she crooks heI
toes,
And tho dickens Is to pay.
You'd think she'd scratch the barnyard
And the garden all away.
And when she lays-oh, N.Y. what eggsi
And she lays when eggs are high.
Her eggs are firsts-you bet they're best
And make swell pumpkin pie.
And when she hatches-oh, goodness mel
She sits till the cows come home
But oh. the chicks that she brings out!
They're dandy and then some
And when she's in love she's in love, oh,
my!
She has roosters by the score,
And, like the seaside summer girl,
She's always hunting for more
Oh, no, Sir sluggard, don't go to the ant
For lessons in Industry
The ants not in it with the hen.
Just take that tip from me.
The hen brings in a billion year,
You bet she is a prize
So go to Biddy and learn the trick,
And then do thou likewise.

BUSTING BIDDY.

destructive, breed so fast, have so
many hiding places in the feathers and
resist so many so called insecticides?
The most effective method is to treat
each fowl individually, to apply the
louise powder by hand
Just take your hen by the hooks so
she can't jerk and break leg and
hold her head down over a newspaper,
and her feathers will fall open. Start
with the fluff, the louise incubator get
the powder down to the skim work it
in around the roots of the tail between
body and thighs, on thighs, back, cape
hackle, head, throat, wing quills; work
it down to skin all over the fowl, then
shake your hen gently over paper and
release her quietly lest she fly around
and shake off the powder We find
the louise machine next in effectiveness
and recommend it for big flocks.

hens at once, does quick work and
does not injure fowls. 1t is simply

The Iowa State college at Ames now
holds free poultry clinics, where poul-
! try diseases are diagnosed and in
vestigated. Solomon didn't live in the
age of progressive poultry culture or
he wouldn't have said, There's moth

Lice and cholera germs flourish most
in hot weather, and both by a little
work may be prevented. Running for
remedies and cleaning up when flock
is down with contagious disease Is
certainly a ridiculous and fruitless pro-
ceeding and exhibition of how not to
do it.
The country boys and girls of Mime
sofa are taking a poultry census of the
state for the state agricultural college.
These young people will make a thor
ough job of it. 1t will be the first
complete poultry census taken, and
we advise other states to follow Min
nesota's lead.
In every neighborhood there are al
ways some who point the long finger
when any one tries to farm or dairy
or raise poultry or fruit by advanced
methods. These weeping Jeremiahs
who are always prophesying failure for
progressive people generally arrive at
their conclusions from facts in their
own unsuccessful personal experience.
One hundred and twenty-four stu
dents made a speciality of poultry cul-
ture at the University of Missouri the
past term. Fifty-eight Missouri coun-
ties and six outside states were rep
resented.
A feast today and a famine tomOr-
row will upset the digestion and egg
production of any hen. This method
neither works with hen nor men.
A male bird is often rendered sterile
by the strain attending too much ex-
hibiting. Eggs from your pens wheth
er set i'm incubators or under hens,
should be tested for fertility. This
will often save time that would be
wasted in setting worthless eggs and
also selling eggs that can't hatch

when he discovers every egg doesn't
hatch a winner. He may buy setting

nomenal birds are not the rule. that his

Don't buy much cracked corn at a
time 1t soon molds, and that's deadly.
Grind your own and save money and
mortality.
Don't change methods as soon as you
read what great success some other

be lying to induce buying.
Don't do others. but do your part

KILLING BUGS ON BIDDY.

Killing bugs on Biddy is pestif-
erous proposition, one that many don't
indulge in and one that many others
don't indulge in enough to qualify as
experts.
Some get round the bughouse job
by sprinkling louise powder on the hen
while in the nest, placing bug killer,
moth balls, tobacco, sulphur, slaked
lime, in the nest or greasing the hen
with lard with the idea that she will
grease the chicks.

again in 1879. After an interval of ten
years the last great epidemic occurred,
and it has continued to prevail to a
greater or less extent since the spring
of 1890.
Unfortunately, n attack of the dis
ease does not protect from subsequent
attacks. But no doubt a temporary
immunity results from a recent attack.
Usually a second attack does not occur
during the same season, but there are
many exceptions to this rule. The
same individual may suffer an annual
attack of the disease for a series Of
years.
The susceptibility varies greatly in
different persons, and extended obser-
vations show a considerably greater
prevalence among those who habitual-
ly remain in closed rooms than in
those whose occupation keeps them in
the open air.
Carefully conducted Investigations
made in Germany show that while fac

door occupations suffered to the extent
of from twenty to eighty per cent. of
the total number SO employed, those
whose occupation KEEP, them outdoors

grippe was very prevalent in the city
OF Washington. At a sanitarium To-
Gated twenty miles from the city, there
was not a single case among the pa
tients and attendants, about thirty in
number, who remained at the sanitar-
ium; but several patients who visited
their homes in the city during the
Christmas holidays promptly came
down with an attack of the disease.
This sanitarium is maintained for
the "open.air treatment of consump-

The front of the tent, facing to the
south, is left open night and day. Now
an experience Of three winters has
demonstrated that patients exposed in

a number of the patients who left this
