CHANCE FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.

The Washington Boys and Girls
Agricultural and Industrial Contest
will be held in Spokane, October 28-
80. This is a movement to secure a
larger interest in the vocational train
ing of the youth of this state and
especially to create greater interest
among the young people themselves
in farm life. The legislature has made
an appropriation of S15, 900 to bear
the expenses of organizing and carry
ing out this work. Back of the move
ment is the State Grange, the Farm
ers' Union, State Bankers AssOcia-
ton, State Federation of Labor, The
Washington State College and the
United States Department of Farm
Management. 1t goes without saying
that anything which tends to the
practical training of the younger
generation means better citizens in
the future, and therefore these. con-
tests, of which the one to be held in
Spokane is the first, should result in
much good to the community.

The house proper and the scratch

tinuous building. At the gable the
house ends and the shed begins, and
in this way the shed is as large as
the house. The roof is so made that
the gable is at the side, and not at
the end, making a very high roof.
At t. house side, or rather end, of
the building the caves are some six
feet from the ground. On the shed
end, however, the caves are only four
feet from the ground. In the middle
of the building is a door through
which the operator enters. The house
is open on the end where the caves
are the lesser distance from the
ground.

in trade which adds more profit to
the dealers side.
"The producers are the slaves, the

are an unorganized mob. The dealers

course every chicken ranch is sup
posed to be decently clean at all times,
but, with the advent of warm weather
thorough spraying of the houses
becomes necessary. A quart of
crude carbolic acid mixed into five
gallons of kerosene makes very good
spray. Distillate is recommended by
some for spraying but for myself, l
prefer the kerosene. If the mites are
found to have got a start in the chick

The nests may be made vermin proof
for six months at least by painting

wonderful vermin paint but it is not
so we'll adapted for spraying as certain
other preparations. A good orchard
bucket spray with six or eight foot
iron nozzle is prime necessity on a
chicken ranch. The dinkey little tin
hand sprayers are of no use to any
