TAKE CARE OF THE BRooDER
Material Used for Floor Covering
Should Be Changed Every Other
Day-Prevent croyYdinq.

Brush out the breeders every other
day, changing the material used in
floor covering. This may be OF bran,

After the brooder, before the laying
house, what then? The colony house
is the answer. Chicks are generally
ready to leave the brooder at about six
weeks of age-that is, when fully
feathered. They are then able to take
care Of themselves during the day
time, and, except on cold, rainy days,
the question of artificial heat is not
vital.
There are several types of colony
houses, but all should have the follow
ing features: Perfectly dry, freedom
from drafts, well ventilated, easy to
clean and move (this latter should be
done every season., and, lastly, they
should be attractive, but inexpensive.
Don't crowd the chicks in the colony
house. Remember, they will be al
most grown before they are moved
again. Have perches removable, and
do not allow the chicks to roost until
their bones have hardened up consid-
erabIy, or they may have crooked
breast bones. When roosts are given,
have them at least two inches wide.
For small f1ocks suitable colony
houses may be made from large store
boxes by covering the top and three
sides with tar paper, the other side
being made of cellar window wire ex-

Of the harm from this fly. In addi-
ton to spreading infantile paralysis.
Jennings and King of the bureau Of
entomology say it may spread pella-
gra. The diseases of domestic ami
mails spread by it are anthrax, swamp
fever, CHAMBERS. septicemia, surra,
souma, and, maybe, round worm.
In addition, biting flies worry stock
so much that they cannot work eff
iciently. Animals get thin and milk
cows sometimes go of 40 to so per
cent in the amount Of milk produced.
F. G. Bishop Of the United States
bureau Of entomology, tells US that the
stable fly breeds largely in straw. Old
strawstacks in the fields are the worst
offenders. Bishopp's advice is to burn
these stacks or else to spread the
straw, and plow it in deep When a
heavy rain falls on freshly threshed
straw conditions for fly breeding are
at their worst Manure containing
straw is another breeding place Of i'm
portance.
To keep the flies on, Bishop adj
vises a mixture of fish oil Zone gal
lon), oil Of pine tar 1.-TWO ounces), oil
Of pennyroyal 1.-TWO ounces), and kero-
sene (one-half a pint.
The fish-oil mixture, If faithfully ap-
piled, will serve as a repellent against
flies as long as it retains its effective
ness.

EFFECT OF FEED ON FLAVOR
Hens Fed heterogeneous Ration Pro-
duced Eggs of DisagreeabIe
Taste and Small ToIk

Some years ago the Cornell station,
in the effect OF nitTOgenous VS. car
bonaceous food for poultry, reported
observations on the different rations
on the favor Of eggs. One lot OF
fowls was fed a mixture Of wheat,
shorts, cotton-seed meal and skim
milk; another lot cracked corn and
corn dough. The former ration con-
tanned much more nitrogen than the
latter
The hens fed corn laid fewer eggs
than those fed the nitrogenous ration,
but the eggs were larger. The eggs
produced by the heterogeneous ration
were Of a disagreeable flavor and
smell, had small yoIk, and did not
keep well. The flesh of the poultry
fed this ration, however, was darker,
more succulent and tender than that

fed plenty OF moist food he deposits

eat anything as well as everything.
Because sputum is from case or con-
sumption or excretions are from
case Of typhoid is no reason why they
do not appeal to the f1y's palate Being
fond Of filth, as well as Of clean food;
being fond Of dirty places, naturally
they have many germ diseases OF their
own.
There are epidemics affecting flies
as well as epidemics affected by lies.
But what matters it If a few millions
are killed by germs when SO many
millions can quickly breed? Nothing
with the feeding and breeding power
of a fly is at any great disadvantage
from germs 1t is the human being
that expects to produce but few OF
its kind that must fight OF the enc
mics to keep the race alive.
Flies are of no consequence except
as they affect the food. They do not
start any disease. They serve to carry
them from one place to another. One
farmer may get typhoid in his milk
and then spread typhoid to hundred
farmers milk by emptying it into
common vat. From this common vat
500 consumers may obtain their milk.
Thus typhoid may be spread all over
town. But about the only chance for
solid food like bread, meat, and sugar
to spread typhoid is through the help
of flies. A mans water faucet taps the
same pipe as that of another man, a
mans milk bottle is filed from the
same can as another's the only
link between two mems bread is our
enemy, the fly. If the one has COM
municable disease, the fly, forgetting

START IN POULTRY BUSINESS
Select Good Foundation Stock and
Erect Comfortable Buildings
Fowls Need Free Range.

A few things to remember in start
ing, if q living is to be the objective
point in keeping poultry, are: Select
q good location, as to ground con-
ditions, markets, etc. Choose good
foundation stock Build well, though
this need not be expensive; but poorly
constructed buildings are a loss In
the long run, and false economy
Start slowly and work up gradually
Have enough cash on hand to carry
the poultry operation for at least two
years. Don't purchase a place with
too small acreage At least five acres
should be purchased, although many
successful poultry plants are operated
on three. 1t takes more care to keep
the land in condition Free range for
growing stock is essential in the long
run. Rather have too much room than
too little Study carefully the incu-
bator and brooding systems. This is
one of the main items in the bust
ness. Study the poultry situation at
least a year before commencing
Visit the leading poultry operations
that have been In the business for at
least five or six years One can learn
a good deal by visiting the successful
poultry keepers, and win be less liable

Indian Ingenuity.

In his preface to Antarctic Days"
Sir Ernest Shackleton tells an anus
ing little story of northern Canada
A government geologist, with inf
mite labor, had collected some very in
teresting geological specimens in a
region far beyond civilization. Most
of the collecting was done on the bar
rem ground ESQ miles northeast of the
Great Bear lake. The scientific man
and the porters of the party carried
the rocks on their backs to the Great
Bear lake, padded 300 miles across
the lake, and alternately padded and
portrayed 1900 miles up the Macken-
zie, Slave and Athabasca rivers.
The last portage was half a mile
long at the Grand Rapids OF the Atha-
basca, and it was done by Indian en-
ployes of the Hudson's Bay company.
The Indians were ingenious men, and
they still tell with pride how they
saved much labor by emptying all the
heavy bags and boxes at the lower end

Male in Most Cases Is Larger Than
FemaIe-NeVer Look for Curied
Feather in Tails.
Bv n. a BARTTETTN

CBy n. A BARTLETT)
It is not an easy thing to tell the
sex in geese.
When they are six or seven months
old one can usually tell by observa-
ton the geese from the gander.
The male in most cases grows
larger than the female.
The female has a deeper body, slim
mer neck and smaller head.
The call of the gander is long, loud
and shrill, while that Of the goose
is merely an answer to it.
1t is a good plan to divide the flock
part on one side of the fence and part
on the other when trying to dis
tinguish the sex when you can dis
tinguish most of the ganders by their
calls.
Never look for a curled feather in
their tails or other outside marks for
there are none.
The male is holder and vicious and
If cornered in some small place will
show fight to protect his mate.

fly breeding The second best is to
keep things so clean as to prevent fly
feeding. The third best thing is to
defend oneself against the flies that
have come. Sometimes it will be pos
sible to screen them away. This works
well enough with dwellings. The few
house can be swatted, or caught with
paper, or killed with poison.
Where the doors are opening con-
stantly, screens are sometimes OF lit
tie service and sometimes none at
all. Under these circumstances, what
is to be done?
Usually 1t will be possible to protect
the food supply with cases, screens, or
mosquito bar. Anything kept in the
tcebox will be protected. Flies sud-
denly entering an atmosphere of go
will escape if they can. If not, they
slow up. At about 4S they lose their
ability to fly. At 81, five degrees be-
low freezing, most Of them die.
The best method OF Kidding a dairy
barn. milk house, or store of flies will
depend on the number present and on
other considerations. When flies are
abundant the use of fly traps is the
most effective method.
Sticky fly paper has some advan-
tages and some disadvantages. A few
saucers containing a mixture Of one
pint Of water, one tablespoonful of
formaldehyde Commonly known as
formalin), and one tablespoonful of
sugar will be eff1cacious, If not much
water is exposed in the room.
The proposers recommend that
pieces Of bread saturated with this so
luton be placed in plates and these
exposed in places inaccessible to chill
dren and domestic animals.
When the place is not being used 1t
should be darkened. whereupon fly pa
per, fly traps. or fly poison, placed
near an undarkened window, will be
doubly effective.
The Connecticut experiment station
has made some tests to determine how
thickly populated with germs are flies
from different places. To begin with

addition to being SO shy as to be
harmless, he is not thickIy populated

which should ordinarily be left )uncoV-
cred, but there should be a curtain TO
drop over it in bad weather. The bal
ance Of the side should be hinged so it
can be thrown open during the day,

The "A'' shaped colony house is
not so easily cleaned as some OF the
others.
Most colony houses average about
6 by feet in size, with shed roof and
a large wire covered window with cur
tain in front. This type should be
built on skids, so that they can be
easily dragged to new ground with the
aid Of a horse. and, If tightly built,
houses Of this sort can be used for lay
ers and also breeders in the winter by
the addition of nests, hoppers, ETC.
A word about placing the house.
Choose well drained ground that is
covered with a heavy, sweet sod. An
old orchard is almost ideal, as the
trees furnish shade during the hot
summer days. Clean away any brush
piles or thickets which might harbor
Yermin, and if the same ground must
be used year after year lime it, pillow
it down each fall and SOW with some
suitable crop which will afford green
pasture for the growing birds.

POOR PRACTISE OF FARMERS HOW TO TELL SEX IN GEESE
Department Of Agriculture InvestIga-
tors Recommend Incubator Eggs
Be Used at Home.

The mixing OF incubator eggs with
the fresh spring eggs leads the egg
packers, who get their principal cold
storage supply in the spring, to cut
the price they pay the farmer, depart
ment Of agriculture investigators find.
The spring eggs designed for keeping
for winter consumption must be abso-
luteIy good. Moreover, the egg pack

but hold them three at a time in the
hand and cIink them to discover any
crack and then judge their freshness
by their fresh powdery look on the
shell. The mixture Of infertile incu-
bator eggs with fresh eggs interferes
seriously with this clinking and forces
the packer to candle the eggs. He
then deducts-this added expense from
the price he offers to the producer.
Eggs which have once been subjected
to the heat of the incubator cannot be
stored, even though frozen.
The farmer who sells incubator eggs
to the dealer, therefore, is very liable
to injure his own market for fresh
eggs. When dealers find a percentage
Of Iow-grade incubator or other eggs
in their fresh spring egg supply they
lower the price for all eggs so that
they will be certain that they have
covered themselves against losses from
this cause. The departments special
lists advise farmers to use any infer
tile eggs they may take from their in
cubators for home consumption and to
send only fresh eggs to market

In fighting flies, 1t is most important

fly feeding places. Flies require such
an enormous volume OF food that we
can accomplish something by keeping
things free from fly food. Most i'm
portant is care Of the garbage-no
