WHITEWASH FOR HEN-HOUSES
Formula Given by Poultry Manager of
Central Experiment Station at
Ottawa, Canada.

A. G. Gilbert, poultry manager Of the
Central Experiment Station at Ottawa
Canada, says a durable and lasting
whitewash may be made as follows:
Put into a water-tight, clean barrel
half a bushel of unslaked lime. Shake
the lime to a depth Of five inches.
Stir briskly until slaked. Add two
pounds Of sulphate Of zinc and two
pounds of salt dissolved in hot wa
ter.
These ingredients will prevent the
wash from cracking or peeling off. 1t
is better to apply the whitewash
while hot. II to be used for inside of
poultry-house, colony houses or coops
add half an ounce of carbolic acid.
To color the whitewash, add yellow
ochre, venetian red or any other de-
sired color.

Worn-0ut Flags Destroyed by the Government

"ORN-OUT national flags used by

an example for the whole country by

When a flag used at an army post or

is made for a new one and the old one
is burned. The same disposition Is
made of flags from public buildings.
Whether or not custodians of build

official plan of destroying flags is not

Manufactured tobacco extracts with

concentrated tobacco extract fumes

EXCELLENT FOR HORSE FEED
pennsylvania Station Finds slIaae
Good Ration, Economic in Char
acter and Wholesome.

Silage is an excellent ration for
horses, economic in character and
wholesome in use. The Pennsylvania
station gives the results of horse feed
IN" test where silage was compared
with hay and other forage.
Inc horse fed silage as a portion
OF their ration consumed less grain,
MADE their gains at a lesser cost per
pound, We're sleeker and better fin
ished than those fed on rations not
containing silage."
In this test they noted that silage
could be fed in amounts varying from
nve to twenty pounds per day. They
recommended silage free from mold
and made from corn fairly we'll ma
tured. They also advised against
feeding horses large quantities of
silage, especially after coming in from
heavy work when they are in a heated
condition.
The Michigan Experiment Station
has been feeding horses for many
years on silage and favors it's use,
especially for horses not at heavy
work In a test made some years ago
with seven teams of work horses, one
horse Of each team was fed hay and
grain, while the other received small
amounts of hay and grain with about
hften pounds Of corn silage. These
teams were doing moderate work.
The experiment lasted twelve weeks
and the following results were noted:
The silage-fed horses showed an av-
erage gain Of five pounds per head.
Besides the increase in body weight
the driver noted that the silage fed
horses worked fully as we'll and did
not appear to be any softer than those
o receiving silage. The silage-fed
horses showed a better finish and
sleeker coats.

George Eliot, and the house of Count
D'Orsay. A garden marks the spot
where Sir Thomas More lived for so
many years. Farther down the street
is the house where William Turner
died. This house is marked by a very
beautiful tablet designed by the emil
nent English artist, Walter Crane.
In upper Cheyne row stands the
house of Leigh Hunt, and near it is
the spot where Katharine Parr is said
to have lived.

Land for Barley.

Barley should have richer land than
usually is given to oats. It does not
have a very strong root growth and
needssa good supply Of fertility. 1t is
seeded in the spring, as pats are, and
yields vary, as do those Of all grains.
1t is harvested with a binder just as
wheat, but when wanted for mailing
there is more danger of discoloration
on account of the time that the barley
must stand in shock. The feeding
