So they tried to flank us. Two de-

been shooting at US for two days.
They were the aggressors through

The militia fired steady stream Of
lead at US. Bullets spattered against
the rocks. They whizzed by in the
air. They kicked up the dust by our

And all the time the machine guns

DAMPNESS IN POULTRY HOUSE
Modern Building Usually Depends
Upon Ventilation to Prevent 1t From
Becoming Uncomfortable.


CBy A. c. SMITH, Minnesota Experiment
Station)
A prolonged period of unusually
damp weather is always a trying ex.
perience for poultrymen.
The modern poultry house usually
depends upon ventilation to prevent it
from becoming uncomfortable from ex-
cessive humidity, which is an exceed
ingly difficult thing to do during
prolonged period of damp weather
Litter is usually of such material that
it absorbs water. readily and at such
times as mentioned above becomes in
tolerably damp. Because of the fowls
close and constant contact, damp lit
ter causes more colds and cases Of
roup than extremely low temperatures,
and is on that account most damaging
to the health of the fowls, which can
endure dirty litter almost to the point
Of filthiness with less harmful effect.
Remove the damp litter at once,
even though it has just been put in.
No litter at all would be better than
the damp litter. Occasionally one
must expect to find the weather
against him. Even poultrymen can
not expect to find it all sunshine. Make
the best of it and supply new and dry
litter at a trifling cost, rather than
sustain big losses in fowls or egg pro-
duction, probably both.

CAREFUL FEEDING PAYS BEST
Cows at Minnesota University Farm
Give Much Larger Yield Than
Those Throughout State.

(By T. L. HACKER, University Farm,
ST. Paul. MIMI
From a careful investigation we find
that our common COWS are capable of
producing a much larger yield than is
secured from The average common
COW in the state. During the past
decade we have always had at the
Minnesota university farm, in the
dairy herd, a number Of common
COWS; that is, cows with no dairy
heredity. The average yield from
these common cows, for % yearly
records. is 5000 pounds OF milk, and
222 pounds of butter; which last,
valued at 81 cents Per pound, is equal
in round numbers to $50 for butter
alone. The average receipt per COM
mon COW in the state is $3.50; which
shows that the average COW is yielding
$14 less per annum than she might
easily yield if given the same care and
feed as are given the cows at univer-
eity farm.

settlement work. Kerr and his lieutenants
decide to buy Kerr's paper and ask the
EDITOR to meet them at Gilbert's office.

and Is accepted while waiting TO be called
into the conference. Wright refuses to
sell his paper and declares he will fight to

a bitter attack on Kerr. Gloria calls
Wright a coward and refuses to listen to
any explanation from him. Broken-heart-
ed, Gloria decides t. plunge more deeply
into settlement work. She calls on a sick

told him she was still determined to
go her own way alone.
"Good-by," she said.

THAT, and nothing more"
The man looked at her in a dazed
manner. Now that the time of part
ing had come she had far more self
possession than he. He CROPPED about
in his mind for something to say. but
words were inadequate There is no
telling how his feelings might have
betrayed him had there not come a
knock at the door to interrupt their
parting.
At the sound Gloria exclaimed with
a start who's that?"
Wright walked to the door. saw who
asked for entrance, and opened 1t
wide for Patty to enter.

surprise this news was to her.
What does this mean?" he asked.
"You know as much as l. I've told

than that, Fve-well, I've preferred

The thorough screening of all win.
dcws and doors of stables has been
found successful and desirable. When
barns are screened care should be
taken to brush the flies from the ami
mails when they are about to enter, by
means OF nets over the doorway, or
with sacks. Little can be done to
protect range stock from the flies. On
hog farms freshly plowed trench Of
fers considerable protection to swine.
The sides of the trenches may be
smeared with petroleum which is
repellant.
Destruction of Immature Stages and
Prevention of Breeding.
Since straw stacks have been found
to be the principal breeding places
of the stable fly in the grain belt, the
proper care of the straw is by far
the most important step in control
The straw should be stacked more
carefully than is ordinarily done when
1t is desired to keep it for protection
and food for live stock. This may be
accomplished by making the sides of
the stack nearly vertical and rounding
it up on top, in order the better tc
shed the rain
So far as is possible, all straw which
is not required for winter food for
stock should be disposed of immediate
ly by burning or by scattering it over
the land soon after thrashing, aac
subsequently blowing it under, or
By burning the stack The blowing
under of the straw is the most advis-
able method of procedure, as by this
practise large amounts of humus are
added to the soil. Dat straw is most
generally used for feeding purposes,
and it is this straw which forms the
principal breeding grounds for flies.
1t is, therefore, important that all the
oat straw needed for seed purposes or
bedding be baled and stored under
cover, and that the remainder be
promptly burned or scattered. ALI
straw stacks not consumed by stock
during the winter should be promptly
disposed of in the early spring, as
these stacks furnish flies continuously
during the spring and GUNNER.

Representative William c. Adam

was scrawled on a plain sheet of pa

Then he handed 1t back with the re-
mark:
