industry, and further increases in the
number of fowls kept will only in
tensify the Importance of this sub
iect.
Poultry houses must be built with
view of providing plenty of fresh air
and sunshine for the birds and the
houses must be kept absolutely clean.
While houses have been mentioned
first, the ground around the buildings
is perhaps more often to blame for
troubles, both with the chicks and
with adult fowls.
Failure to realize this, and that soil
originally in good condition for poultry
raising may, by misuse and neglect,
get into such a condition that profita-
bic poultry keeping on it is impossible,
is responsible for many of the failures
we have with poultry. While this con-
dition becomes apparent more quickly
and is more often found among flocks
kept on limited quarters, such as a
town lot, it is not by any means I'M
known among farm focks.
Many people who make a success on
the start with few fowls very quick.
ly get into trouble for which the
ground is responsible WREN they in
crease their flock and do not take pre-
cautions to prevent the ground from
being tainted from the droppings.
Poultry benefits by crop rotation just
as much as any other farm crop if it
is made feature in the rotation. The
best way to keep the ground in good
condition for poultry is to grow crops
on it as we'll as poultry. If the land
has already become unfit for raising
poultry on, it will be best to give up
this line of business for a time. The

Too great emphasis cannot be laid
upon the precaution of carefully
spraying with spray mixture. All
machines should be provided with
facilities for spraying. including a
gauze strainer over the large opening
to the tank.
Gauze strainers. which can be re-
placed when desired should be fast
ened over all suction pipes leading
to the pump. In machines where
the pump is mounted outside the tank
gauze strainer should be placed
over the pipe, feeding the pump.
The mixture should never feed to

passing through a strainer, This is
especially true of a machine which
has check valves. as paris green and
other grit will lodge under the seat
of the valves, consequently releasing
the pressure.

RAISING GUINEA PIGS EASY
Excellent Opportunity Offered to Boy
on Farm to Make His Own
Spending Money.
(By ALICE MAY DoUGLAs.)

Guinea pigs are easy to raise and
taken all in all, are the most desir-
able pets that there are. Even baby
can play with them without fear of be-
ing scratched:
Boys on the farm can earn quite
little by raising these pets and selling
them in the village or city at the rate
of % cents each
The guinea pigs should be kept away
from cats, who will hunt them as they
do rats. Some say, however, that
when kitten is brought up from the
very first with guinea pigs, she will
live peacefully with them.
One farmer boy raised a bushel of
potatoes of of piece of ground,
which he traded in the city for pair
of guinea pigs from which he raised
quite litter.

Expecting Too Much.

Some girls expect so much from
their friends that they are all the time
being disappointed. They themselves
lose their tempers often, but they e1-
pect their friends always to be sweet
and polite. Sometimes their faces are
overcast, and their brows wrinkled
into frown. but they expect their
friends to go about smiling. It is
mistake to expect so much more of
your friends than you expect of your
self, for that is one way Of losing
friends.
