PRACTICAL HINTS
FROM POULTRY YARD
vermin Increase in Cold Weather
as Rapidly as During Summer
Give Turkeys Wide Range.
By e. ]. MILLER.)

Don't stop the war on the lice Just
because the weather Is cold. II you
have them down, keep them down.
They will not increase so fast in the
cold weather, and that is the time to
exterminate them.
When you dug the potatoes did you
save the small ones for the hens?
They are very fond of them when
boiled and mixed with a little bran
A mess Of them fed once in a while
makes a variety, and is treat.
Have the runts and defective fowls
been culled? They are only bill Of
expense, and the loss occasioned by
their keep is usually charged to the
flock as a whole, which is unfair. This
should be charged to your own neg
lect. To keep up the vigor and utility
of your flock, the undesirables must
be disposed of, 80 there will be no
danger of their eggs being set in the
spring.
Keep the houses and runs clean. 1t
will save trouble later in keeping the
fowls healthy.
Now that the fowls cannot help
themselves to bugs, and grasses, and
seeds, these, or their equivalent, must
be supplied, especially II the poultry
is confined. They must be carefully
watched and their wants attended to-
The hens must be kept quiet to In
sure good digestion.
Unless you intend to raise poultry
for exhibition purposes, there is no
need Of buying fancy birds at high
prices, to start or improve a flock.
What Is called utility stock is much
better for practical purposes
Air-slaked lime sprinkled on the
floor under the roosts, and on the drop
ping boards, will help to keep the
place healthy and the air pure.
Utility stock is just as pure-bred,
often stronger, and just as good in
every way as the show birds, except
that they are lacking in some point Of
color or marking, which disqualifies
them for the show pen.
Many people say turkeys should be
restricted in their range, but we do
not believe 1t. We have raised many

HOW THE FRENCH
POULTERER KILLS
Neck of Fowl Is Disiocated by
Swift Back Chuck Given
Close to Head of Bird.

The French poulterer kills his fowls
by dislocating the neck with a swift
back chuck given close to the head.
At once the dressing begins so that
it may be completed before the body
cools.
The legs and wings are tucked close
to the body, which is placed breast
downward against a board. A moist
cloth is spread on the back, which
imparts fine-grain appearance to the
flesh.
A weight is applied to secure the
required market flatness, and when
thoroughly cold the birds are removed,
packed carefully and closely in crates
or cases, according to their destina-
ton.

ALLEGED eREEN-eooDs MEN.

Dayton, O.-The Montgomery coun-
ty grand jury returned indictments
against four alleged green goods"
men, Their operations are said to
have been confined to wealthy farm
ers and the heaviest loser is Clarence
Michael, residing near Philipsburg.
The men usually employed an automo-
bile in their travels and their scheme
consisted in having breakdown in
front of the home of their intended
victim. Taken into the house by the
sympathetic owner of the place, the
men usually became confidential. They
claimed they possessed stolen govern
ment plates and could make genuine
money which was offered at half the
real value.

ESTATE FOR DUMB ANIMALS.

Cincinnati, O.-The National Audu-
bon society, with offices in New York
City, and the American Humane asso-
citation, with offices in Albany, N. Y,
will each receive between $4,000 and
$4,000 under the will of Miss Louise
F. Drude, who was found dead in her
home. Three nieces and a nephew,
her only relatives, are not mentioned
in the will. Her wish expressed in the
will that her body be cremated and any
pet animal alive at the time of her
death be put to death had been antici-
pated. At the time she was found
dead her pet dog was beside her body,
almost dead from hunger. The dog
was shot by policeman.

(By Ernest w. Heinz

Columbus, Ohio.-If the expecta.
tions of sanguine authors are realized
the workmen's compulsory compensa,
ton act, which became operative with
the first of the year, has opened
the door upon an era of industrial
peace and uplift in Ohio. Primarily
because of the number affected-more
than three-fourths of her population is
brought under the states protecting
wing, for, depending upon a million
wage-earners, according to estimates,
are three million women and children
who are directly concerned.
OF second consideration, it is con-
tended that benefits to employers,
which measure larger in dollars, will
embrace relief from exorbitant LA
bility insurance premiums, avoidance
Of costly legal battles, banishment of
the ambulance chaser, elimination of
hurtful agitation and increased output
from mills and shops. No doubt has
been raised that the new order will
bring labor and capital closer to-
gether.
Public To Benefit.
In all benefits enjoyed by both Ia
borer and employer, the public must
share in large degree. Greater pros
perity and less disturbance are inn
portant considerations to every citi-
zen. Greater humanitarianism and
less pauperism affect all classes to-
gether, however faint may seem the
relationship.
Even the optional compensation
worked wonders in Ohio. Under its
provisions the state was unable to
give relief in 1920 accidents. Only
one-fifth of the employers in the state
were listed, yet victims of industry
and their dependents received $244,-
815.
Terms Pronounced Liberal.
The new law has been pronounced
the most liberal in this country. In
Ohio the next maximum benefit is $12
per week in case of disability and the
minimum SIS. In other states the
maximum is $40 and the minimum 81.
For temporary disability the maxi
mum total award is $3,750; for

Calf Disorders.

Bowel troubles in calves are some
times caused by milk that Is exces-
sively rich. Milk that is moderate or
low in butter fat Is usually better for
young calves. Indigestion in older
calves is usually due to unclean milk
or feed, unclean vessels, close CON
finement in dark, unsanitary stalls
and irregular or excessive feeding. In
some cases it appears to be due main
ly to sheer weariness and inability to
digest.

Will Aid Ohio Courts.

1t is expected that Ohio courts will
have a good chance to get caught up
with the back work when the new
workmen's compensation law becomes
operative in 1914. The new law will
help matters by automatically cutting
down or reducing the number of per-
sonal injury suits that now are esti-
mated to constitute at least 30 per
cent of all the litigation in Ohio
After the compensation measures get
well under way, the number of per-
sonal injury suits, it is promised now,
will become negligible quantity.
