COMBAT POULTRY YARD FOES
Some Essential Measures Outlined by
Expert Poultrymen for Control OF
Insect Parasites.

Insect parasites are the cause OF
great deal OF annoyance and loss to
poultrymen. Some essential measures
as outlined by George NJ Turpin for
their control are:
Have the poultry houses separated
from all other farm buildings.
Have all the interior fixtures of the
poultry houses, such as roost-poles.
nest boxes. feed hoppers. dropping
boards, etc, removed so that every
part OF the interior can be readily
cleaned and sprayed.
Keep good dust bath to which the
fowls may have access at all times
OF the day. Common road dust with
fine ashes and powdered sulphur or
air-slacked lime added is excellent.
The road dust should be gathered
during dry weather for use during
the winter.
Spray the coops and fixtures with
good whitewash twice each year.
adding two pounds OF salt and one
fourth gallon of crude carbolic acid
to every 80 gallons OF the spraying
mixture.
Setting hens should have access to
good dust bath such as mentioned
above. II lice are found later on the
chicks. rub lard in the feathers Of

FARMING might be defined as the

ment from outside influence. The
adult mind which has been denied
helpful influences may become imper-
vious to them in time, but the hope OF
the race lies in his children.
The childs mind Is fertile gar

flowers and fruit. but which responds
readily to the treatment 1t receives,
and bears fruit or evil weeds accord
ing to what we plant therein and how
1t Is cultivated
One of the most beautiful and hope
full things about the whole scheme OF
creation is. to our mind. the fact that
every normal child is born square
with the world. He inherits neither
his parents bodily or mental diseases.
But from the instant he first cries.
his future depends almost absolutely
upon the care he receives.
Parents OF children have wonderful
opportunity to better themselves and
the entire world by making their own
children better than their parents.
physically and mentally. This is the
only way we have OF repaying to our
parents their sufferings and depriva-
tions in bringing US to manhood and
womanhood
There comes time in every boys
life when the childish amusements no
longer suffice, and he seeks interests
out of doors. This Is the time when
the mother ceases to have an eye on
his every movement and he begins to
associate with other boys OF his own
age. but OF totally different bringing
up, in many. cases.
AS far as possible. your boy should
be kept under observation at this
time. as he is at the crucial stage
Make his home more interesting and
have his playmates there. so that you
can see that he is associating with
helpful children. rather than harmful
ones.
Nothing serves to make home Inter
esting to boys at this age SO much as
pets of their own. 1t is calamity to
have a boy grow up without having
owned dog OF his own.
Rabbits. pigeons and especially ban
tam chickens, are dear to the heart
OF the developing lad. and he is Just
as much entitled to the helpful com
panionship of pets as he Is to school
education. Let him have full respon-
sibility for them, and the results VIII

Expensive and Useless DRILLING.

= Deep-well drilling should not be
attempted without some knowledge
of the natural conditions. The .geol-
ogists and engineers of the Geologi-
cal Survey know of many wells that
have been drilled from 600 to 1900
feet in depth in places where an ex-
pert could have foretold with GER
tainty that no water would result.
Not infrequently people write to
the Survey that they have spent
hundreds or perhaps thousands of
dollars in drilling to great depths
and inquire whether they shall 90
deeper. An examination of the
geologic maps or data at hand has
more than once brought5tthe reply
that the formation being drilled was
not water bearing. AS the Frank
fort (Kentuoky) Journal recently
remarked, There are numerous
enterprising gentlemenewho are glad
to bore as near China as their ina
chinery will reach at SO much per
s. .a
foot. The man who wants a well
bored frequently has the idea that If
he is game enough she will strike
water. If there is probably water
at 100 feet, of course, there must be
more at 1900 feet, he argues. AS a
matter of fact, the lowest limit 81
| the water he is looking for may he
100 feet, as any geologist who has
investigated might tell him. But

primarily a well-borer, SO he often
encourages the 'gameness' Of his
mistaken patron. It formerly was
necessarily matter Of guesswork,
but nowadays it need not be. Free
consultation with the Geological
Survey might save many thousands
of dollars. .
