Chicks and Lice

The greatest enemy of the chick,
and that which causes more loss than
any one other cause is chilling
the second enemy of Importance be
cause of amount of loss, is lice; both
lice and chilling are the indirect cause
of bowel troubles, because both sap
the vitality and life of the chick, max
to resist the organisms of disease,
which are always ready to attack it.
busting the setting hen helps, but
some lice are quite sure to escape
and can later be found on the head
of the chick; rub little dab of lard
on top of the chicks head, getting it
into the down thoroughly, and you
will get these; repeat the dose in a
week. and if the hen is furnished a
good busting place, the lice are not
likely to give any more trouble; but
whenever you see chick that seems
unhappy, eyes closed. droopy, look for
lice.
The brood coops should be thor

some coal tar preparation, sheep dip,
whitewash, or a mixture OF four parts
coal oil and one part crude carbolic
acid; it pays to be ahead. and that

The first sandwich, 30 called, was
made Of two large slabs of bread with
slice Of ham between, and was de.
voured by the fourth earl of Sand.
wich. who was born 1876 years ago, on
November 3, 1718. This earl, like most
)of the English mobiles of that time,
was devoted to games of chance, and
1t was this prediction that was re-
sponsible for the application Of his
name to the sandwich. When the
stakes ran high the belted earl was
unable to tear himself away from the
gaming table, and 1t was his custom
to order servants to bring him slices
OF bread and ham. Other devotees
Of the goddess of luck followed his ex.
ample, and gave the name of sand
wich" to the combination of bread and
meat. The passion for gambling is nc
longer 30 prevalent as in the earl OF
SANDWICHES day, but the rush and
hurry Of modern life have given the
sandwich wide popularity, who
would get filled quick" at the expense
Of digestion and health. The noble
who invented the sandwich was long
first lord Of the admiralty and held
other high positions in the English
government.

The discovery is said to have been
made that milk kept in red bottles
will remain sweet and pure longer
than when kept in plain glass or 9TH
er colored bottles. Experiments have
been made with the spectrum to de-
termine which of the rays of light af-
feet milk and it has been found that
it is the rays toward the violet end
Of the spectrum that do the mis-.
chief. The red ray is stronger and
more penetrating and probably has
some neutralizing effect upon the lac.
teal microbe. II experiments confirm
the theory that the red bottle pre-
serves the milk better than the bottle
now In use, the red bottle should be
adopted generally. Such change will
create a new set of milk bottle mil
lionaires.

the effect on the freshness of the at

been SO noticeable that the teachers

that no child comes to school unpro

They often, indeed, themselves order
the drills without waiting for the com

drill is perceptible already on indi

have an appreciable effect in time in
lessening adenoids and other throat

At a political meeting in certain
New South Wales gold-mining dis
trict the chair was taken by an ath-

his speech was much interrupted by
hootings and rough chan, and his
chairman was soon in a state of boil

wrath, however, he pacitied the
boys by assuring them that at the
end of the candidates speech they
should be at liberty to put any ques-
ton they chose. Accordingly, at the
end of the harangue he arose and in
quired in stentorian tones and in a
rich Irish brogue: "His inny gintle-
man a question to airsk?" A stout
little Welsh miner, who had been a
conspicuous disturber Of the peace
of the evening, shuffled slowly up the
steps of the platform. But at the
top he was met by the chairman,
who. without the slightest warning
delivered a terrific left-and-righter
and sent the Welshman sprawling on
his back. Now. roared the chair.
