GREAT DANGERS TO CHICKS
Chilling and Lice Cause More Loss to
the Poultryman Than Any
Other Two Causes.

(By w. e. vAPLON, Poultryman, Colo
RADIO Agricultural College,)
The greatest enemy Of the chick,
and that which causes more loss than
any other one cause, is chilling; the
second enemy in Importance because
of amount of loss is lice; both lice and
chilling are the indirect cause of bowel
troubles, because both sap the vitality
and life Of the chick, making it impos-
sible for the little fellow to resist the
organisms of disease which are always
ready to attack it.
busting the setting hen helps, but
some lice are quite sure to escape, and
can later be found on the head OF the
chick; rub little dab Of lard on top
Of the chicks head, getting it into the
down thoroughly, and you will get
these; repeat the dose in a week, and
If the hen Is furnished q good busting
place, the lice are not likely to give
any more trouble; but whenever you
see a chick that seems unhappy, eyes
closed, droopy, look for lice.
The brood coops should be thorough
ly sprayed before using with some
coal tar preparation, sheep dip white
wash, or a mixture of four parts coal
oil and one part crude carbolic acid;
It pays to be ahead, and that explains
why SO few Of US are making anything
on our poultry; we neglect these little
things; because Of neglect disease
gets the start of us, we become dis
couraged because Of the losses anc
give up and blame our luck, when al
the bad luck might have been pre-
vented by a little careful preparation
Give the chicks a clean place, al
the heat they can stand, keep then
free from vermin, and you can safel!

Anticipation.

"One summer / CHANGED to be back
in the ridges Of Tennessee" said
United States Senator Blair Lee of
Maryland, as he leaned back in his
chair, "and a couple Of mountaineers
got into an argument. High words
led to blows, and one Of the men was
killed. One of the party volunteered
to ride on ahead to the dead mans
cabin and break the news to the
widow.
"She was seated at table eating
apple-dumplings when the man rode
up. He broke the news as gently as
possible. The woman listened quietly
with a dumpling poised in the air half
way to her mouth. When the man had
finished, she stuffed the dumpling into
her mouth and said:
"'You-all jest wait till finish this
hyer dumplin' an then you-all'll hear
some hollerin'.'"

Lewiston, Sept. 10.-(SpeciaD. -
Cloudy skies, chilly wind, and
threatened rain somewhat marred the
Governors day celebration of the SD
annual exhibit of the Maine State
Agricultural Society. All day long
the weather man tried to repeat his
tricks of Wednesday, when it was
necessary to postpone a greater part
of the program, but the rain held off.
Contrary to the original plan, which
was to include Wednesdays program
with Thursdays, the fair will be car
ried over until Friday Wednesday
races were run off this afternoon, and
todays, with weather permitting, will
be carried out, Friday.

Crowds Go Early

Governors day generally brings out
a large crowd, always the largest of
the fair. but the weather conditions
again handicapped things, nd less
than 10000 people were on the
grounds during the course of the fore
noon and afternoon. The lack of cleo
trio lights did not permit any eve
ming festivities, and for that reason
the crowds went home early.
Along towards noon and before the
Governor arrived the sun tried his
best to fight his way out from be-
hind the clouds, so that the chief
executive of the State might be greet
ed with the same weather and good
cheer that were his at the Central
Maine fair, when 10000 flocked to the
grounds. Old Soils struggles, how
ever, seemed vain and empty, and it
was afternoon before even tree cast
shadow.
Thursday was a great day for
horsemen at the fair. The stables had
a continuous line of visitors all day
admiring the steppers that stood blan-
keted to their eyebrows, waiting for
the opportunity to show what they
could do. Jerry Smith of Caribou has

have shown class in all the events
