that it will drive out also the human

In a brochure issued by the Depart
ment the scientists explain in detail just
how the gas may be generated and how
it is to be applied. Warning is given
however, against careless handling of
the compound, which is a mixture of
sulphuric acid and cyanide OF potas-
sum, for a few whiffs of the powerful
fumes would probably end the handlers

The mixture is cheap, easy to handle
and is extremely deadly, say the scien-

One day, looking from one orchard

Turmut reached that tree in record

Getting no answer, and not being
in a hurry, he sat down and waited.

he had read it, as follows:

Criminals Finger Prints.

DR.. Heintl recommends a very good
method for taking the finger prints of
criminals, this not relating to finger
print records in an anthropometric bu-
reau, but where the record is to be
taken on the spot where crime oc-
surred. such as ON a wall or any OBJ
ject which cannot be moved and where
the print is impossible to photograph
on account of lighting or other reason.
He makes use Of a very fine color
powder so as to dust it over the prints,
which are of more or less greasy
nature, and in this way the powder ad-
heres to the finger print and takes all
its gradations. Then a specially pre-
pared paper is pressed upon the print
and the powder adheres to it so as
to give a good copy of the original
Such paper is prepared with mixture

There are just two extremes to be
avoided when providing ventilation for
stock or poultry in close quarters
during the winter months. The first
and most common is insufficient air,
the other is too much.
We must not get the idea that it is
necessary to close every opening in
a building in order to keep the stock
warm and in good health. Provide
an aperture by which the fresh air
may enter each building, and one that
will allow the foul air to pass out as
it is breathed and poison-laden then
regulate the size of the openings as
the weather changes.
In ordinary weather, the size of ven
tilating holes will need to be practi
cally the same, but in case of a storm,
extremely severe cold or windy wealth
er. there will be need of much less
ventilation, lest the beneficial effect
of fresh air be more than counterbal-
anced by the chilling influence of the
passage of air. which is either too
strong or too cold.

HINTS IN CARE OF
POULTRY AND PIGEONS
Feeding Problem Is Greatly Sim
pIified if Hens of Same Size
Are Kept Together.

Never feed oats to pigeons, young or
old.
Orange boxes make good nests for
pigeons.
If you want big squads, breed from
big hens.
The homer is considered the best
bird for squad profit.
Study the wants Of each customer,
and plan to meet them.
Pigeons must have clean bathing
water at least three times a week.
When pigeons are day old they
are called peppers and when three
weeks old "squealers.'
A tablespoonful of baking-soda
placed in the water two or three times
a week will prevent bowel trouble.
Few men understand the possibl-
ities of two dozen hens when work
ed up TO the limit of their capacity.
If your breeder produces small,
mushy squads be sure there is some
thing wrong. Clean out the lot and
start anew.
Keep a close watch for the most
thrifty and earliest maturing pullets
and mark them for your next years
breeding pens.
Give the turkey hen feed of grain
at night If fed heavily in the morn
ing. she will not range so far with
the youngsters as if she starts out to

The feeding problem is greatly sim
plitied if females of about the same
age are kept together. What is an
ideal ration for old hens may be en-
tirely wrong for pullets. Separate
them so as to obtain approximate re-
suits while feeding.

THERE ARE T H R E E
GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
overhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on a new
one-it will pay you well
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re-
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes of cars within 48
hours from receipt of or
der. Have concentrated
this branch of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. (center
of population of the U. S.
Here we have a $1,750,000
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase
prices 20% january 1st,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS-Never
before in the history of this
industry has a new con-
Germ, having bought the
plants and assets of a bank
rupt one, taken upon itself
the obligation of furnishing
replacement parts for the
cars it never made.

considered it good business,
even if not a moral or
legal obligation.
WE FOUND $4,000 owners
out in the cold, as it were
pleading for parts. Their
cars laid up and useless in
most cases.
WE'VE INVESTED about
one and three-quarters mil
lions ($1,750,000) dollars in
plant and stock of parts,
for over $50 different mod
els, made by the concerns
that comprised the United
States Motor Company
whose assets we purchased

WE TOOK THE NAME
MAXWELL solely for the
protection of 10000 persons
who had bought cars under
that name.
HAD WE CHOSEN AN
OTHER NAME those Co.,
900 cars would have had
almost no value in the sec
ond-hand market. AS it is,
they have a definite value.
And by the replacement of
the worn parts your car
will be good for long time
to come.

whether he handles the
