LITTER NEEDED BY POULTRY
One of Most Essential Requirements
Of Chicks, as 1t Promotes Growth
and Development.
CBy c. C. sHERLocK)

Outside of feed, grit and water, lit.
ter is the most important thing about
the poultry house 1t induces exercise
which is essential to the growth and
development of the chicks The
poultryman should always be careful
as to the material he supplies for the
litter. Be sure it is clean and dry
never use musty or moldy litter. 1t
will be disastrous. Many hens have
been killed in musty litter
The litter should be of a material
easily digested, for it is a well-known
fact that the fowls consume large
per cent. of their litter. Dry leaves
make a good litter, but cannot be di-
gested. Straw is excellent for the
older fowls, but it is not advisable for
the baby chicks.
Cut clover or cut alfalfa make the
best litter one could provide for the
chicks. 1t is easily digestible, inexpen
sive, and is easily procured Sand

| the little chicks are apt to eat toe
much of 1t, as they do not have very
| good idea as to what they should eat
A mixture of cut clover and sane
sprinkled on the floors of the brood
ers is hard to beat.
Never allow the litter to become
damp. Dampness is the creates
enemy OF chicks. Remove it every day
and oftener II the weather is very
| damp.

In the older apartments and houses,
where there are only the middle lights
in the room, the only way OF solving
this difficulty is by the use Of table
lamps These should be selected in
view of their usefulness, as well as
their decorative merit Good looking
and practical lamps are made for both
electricity and gas, as well as for oil.

real value OF a good oil lamp for read

Cooper's hawk may be taken as a
type OF the group of hawks whose
habits are responsible for the con-
demnation of birds of prey as a whole.
This group includes three species:
Coopers hawk, the sharpskinned
hawk and the goshawk. They are oft
en- spoken of blue darters, a name
which expresses a characteristic diff

by far the most destructive species we
have to contend with. not because 1t

FIRST FRUITS OF TARIFF LAW.


Advices which have reached the
national capital indicate that the free
lumber provision Of the Underwood
Wilson tariff bill is playing
havoc In the Pacific northwest For
example, Representatives Johnson and
LaFollette of Washington are advised
that the single mills of that state,
unable to compete with free shingles
from Canada, have moved or are pre-
pairing to move bodily across the Can
adam line The Washington repre-
sentatives sincerely hope that Secre-
tary of Commerce Redfield will turn
loose the investigators of his bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce on
these single mills in order to ascer-
tain whether Or not their failure is
real or simulated.
They declare that the investigators

THE FLuELEss GAS HEATER.

THE FlUELESS GAS HEATER.
AT this time of the year, when many
feel that it is not cold enough to use
the general heating system of the
house but is too cold to be entirely
without heat, the use of portable gas or
officiating apparatus is great con-
venience. Cleanliness and compare
tive low cost of operation make this
type OF heating deservedly popular. I'm
fortunately, many OF these heaters are
used without flue-pipe to carry off
the products of combustion The use
of such heaters is to be deprecated
This is especially true of those devices
of low efficiency that make it practical
iy imperative that the doors and win
dows be kept closed If the object
sought--that of raising the tempera-
-tuTe of the rooms to be obtained
These heaters put premium on insult

mended for use in the children's play
room. It is advertised as the ideal
heat for the nursery" and in heavy
type the claim is made that 1t "will not
vitiate the air" Such advertisements
are dangerous, says the Journal of the
American Medical Association. There
may be times when one is willing to
sacrifice health for comfort for a
short time; when an increase of tenn
perature in the room is sought even at
the expense of vitiated air. When this
is done with full knowledge of pos
sible dangers. it may not be too severe
ly criticised. But to lead people to be-
lieye that any room can be heated
beautifully for any length OF time by
means of flueless gas or oil-heaters is
dangerous doctrine. An efficient gas
or oil-heater with a flue attachment is
an admirable piece of household ap-
paratus; a flueless heater except for
the most temporary uses. and then

If American mills had been able to

Washington, according to Messrs.

logical thing for them to do.
A s1,000.000 trust company closed
its doors in washington a short time

the new tariff law. This concern was

the crash came. and the innocent in
