Eighty kind should not be considered
for moment, for such one is almost
worse than none at all. Visit the
house at twilight, lift the hens that
are on the nest showing an inclination
to sit by the feathers of the back.
One that flies from the nest and
squawks is not the kind you want. 1t
is possible, though, that she may tame
down little in two or three days, so
give her another trial.
The hen that, after being lifted a
little above the nest, is quick to re-
sumo her place and scolds you little
for disturbing her, even perhaps picks
you in resentment, is the one you want
for the real business of sitting. Re-
move her to the box prepared for her
and shut her in until next morning,
when she should be allowed to come
off or be taken off for food and drink.
She will probably return to the nest
herself, and in case she does not, put
her back and try her for another "a
hours. If on the third trial she does
not return to her nest of her own ac-
cord, discard her and try another.

HOW TO COMBAT DISEASE
Teaching of Sanitary Ideas Among
Indians Is a Problem for Gov
eminent Agents.

DR.. John N. Alley, superintendent OF
the United States sanitarium for Indi-
ans at Fort Lapwai, Idaho, says he is
convinced, after study of the causes
of death among the NeZ Perces Indians
for the last ten years, that 80 per cent
of all the deaths are due directly or
indirectly to tuberculosis. In the nun
dred years that have elapsed since the
historic expedition of Lewis and
Clarke to the Northwest, the Nez
Perces tribe has diminished from 81
600 to 1900 The present tuberculosis
death rate is about 40 per thousand liv-
ing or two and one-half times the rate
in the United States as whole. Doc
tor Alley traces the cause of the de-
cimation to the change in the mode of
living of the Indians from the open air
life of the plains to the sedentary, set
tied life of the reservation. The lat
ter has brought with 1t the danger OF
house infection which was automatic
ally eliminated in the earlier days.
Ventilation" says Doctor Alley, is
completely foreign to an Indians ma
ture. 1t is with great difficulty that
you can get them to pay any heed to
this important part of sanitation. l
have known twenty or thirty to gather
in small room where an advanced
case of tuberculosis has been housed
for months, and to close all the doors
and windows, even plugging up the
keyholes."
In recent report Of the office OF In
dian affairs, Commissioner Sells points
out that there are approximately $4,000
Indians in the United States suffering
from tuberculosis, and that the avail
able government facilities for their
care will not exceed 300 beds.

LITTLE CHICK is
BEST INSECTICIDE
Youngsters Devour Many lniuri-
GUS InSects-Cheaper to Feed
Birds Than to Raise Bugs.
By HELEN WATTS-M'vEY.)


One of the best insecticides is the
little chick-not the size with strong
legs and claws.
Coop the old hen close to the garden
fence and let the chicks have the run
of the garden.
Make friends with the birds. 1t is
cheaper to feed birds than to raise
bugs and worms.
Syringe the carnations occasionally
with coal oil emulsion, following this
with a dash of cold water upon all
sides of the plant, to rid it of green
lice
A brass garden syringe is good in
vestment if you use it properly and
often enough to make it pay. 1t won't
use itself.
To keep the ants off the peony buds
dust well with powdered tobacco and
place tobacco stems over the soil about
the roots
Ants in the garden may be trapped
by placing fresh meat bones or bacon
rinds where they collect: when COW
cred with ants dip into boiling water,
dry and repeat.
LAYERS of lime or wood ashes around
beds of plants will keep the slugs
and snails out of the bed. Where they
are bad hand pick at night by the light
of lantern.
Dalmatian insect powder is fine
remedy for black flies and green lice
on plants. Give light application
after a shower or when the plant is
wet with dew once week on all sides.
For bark-lice on either ornamental
shrubs or trees and on fruit trees,
make a rather strong solution of sal
soda and apply with brush Ga white
wash brush will do). Use the solution
plentifully all over the bark.
A layer of lime applied to the sur
face when the ground is dry and the
weather clear will sometimes drive
ants from their villages.
A watering Of hot cayenne pepper
tea. as hot as the hand will bear, will
rid plants of ants and many other
nests il applied to their roots.
The best insecticide is the healthy,
thrifty growing of the plant.

Era of Submarines.

The day is approaching when sea-
going submarines of high surface
speed will accompany the main fleet
on the high seas. Large vessels of
this type, of Fl knots speed, have been
designed for the United States navy.
Great Britain is building, in the Maui
titus, the largest submarine in exist
ence, which is intended to be as sea-
worthy while on the surface as the
latest type of destroyer. It's surface
speed will be not less than 81 knots,
and it will have submerged speed Of
from Is to 16 knots; it will carry six
torpedo tubes, and the surface dis
placement will be about one thousand
five hundred tons.
