TOO MUCH CLOTH CURTAIN.
Fear of Colds Leads Poultrymen to
Close in Bacteria-Laden Air.

Many poultrymen are reporting
slight colds among their hens this
fall and as far as the poultry adviser
has been able to follow up these re-
ports 80 per cent of all colds at this
season are caused by the 10 frequent
use of cloth curtains which results in
moisture forming within the poultry
building and the development of
germ-laden air which has no oppor-
tunity to escape.
a few slight colds in the flock that
is kept in a house well ventilated are
not likely to infect the remainder of
the birds. but as soon as the curtains
and windows are closed entirely the
warmth and moisture resulting from
these conditions rapidly increase the
disease germs which are bound to in
feet a large part of the remainder of
the flock. There has been no weather
so far this year sufficiently cold to
require the closing down of all cloth
curtains in poultry houses. Although
the cloth curtains do admit OF some
change of air it is so slight that it's
effect is not of much value.
Although some houses have so much
open front that il may seem wise to
close practically all the curtains there
should remain in every pen a sufficient
amount of opening to keep the air in
the house fresh and dry. Only ex-
IRENE cold winds from the south and
southeast should require the closing
of all curtains. Under these condi-
tions more air will pass through the
curtains so the fact that they are
closed will not seriously effect the at
mosphere inside if they are not kept
closed too long. When the tempera-
ture goes down to zero where houses
are narrow and the birds on the roostS
are close to the front it will be nee
essary to close down the cloth curtains
but the average poultryman is not LA
BILE to err on the side of light and
fresh air.

THE SLEEPS TEETH AND ITS
AGE

A lamb has eight small first teeth
on the lower jaw. When the animal
reaches the age of about one year the
middle pair are replaced by two per-
manent teeth; at the age of about two
the teeth on either side of these per-
manent teeth are also replaced with
permanent pair; at the age of three the
next tooth on either side gives way to
a permanent tooth; and at about the
age of four the last or back teeth are
replaced in like manner. Briefly then.
sheep with one pair Of permanent
teeth is a yearling; sheep with two
pairs is a two-year- old; with three
pairs, a three-year- and with four
pairs, a four-year old After a sheep
is four years old one cannot tell the
age of the animal by its teeth.

These results show that labor in
come in this area depends in part on
the milk producing capacity of cows.
This seems reasonable as forty-two
out of the sixty-nfne farms in this
area get so per cent of their receipts
from cows. This would indicate that
a determined effort on the part of the
community should be made for the
improvements of the quality of live
stock. Such an improvement would
undoubtedly lead to higher labor in
comes and better living in the COM
munity.
In the same area we find that
while the farms having few cows
make the lower labor income the
farms specializing in dairying make
considerably less than those having
one or more money crops. 1t seems
that in this area better cows and
more money crops should become the
community's agricultural program.

Grafton is repeated until the string is
full. The string of ears can then be
hung away to dry. When immature
corn is strung up in this way it must
be closely watched or the ears will
fall out. The shrinkage of the kernels
allows the string to slip between them
and this, together with the shrinkage
of the cob, causes a material reduction
in the circumference of the ear. This
leaves considerable loose space and
the ear will fall out. II the ears are

CITY WILL SET
GOOD EXAMPLE
Resolution Drafted To Make Side
walks For All City Own
ed Property

The board of supervisors at its last
meeting passed a resolution ordering all
property owners within the fire limits
n the district of Honolulu to place &C.
nent sidewalks for the full width of
he sidewalk area in front of their pro-
Derty;; should this Improvement have not
previously been attended to.
Notices to this effect are now being
sent out. o..
In order to show, good faith in the
natter a resolution will be introduced
1t tonight's meeting of the board of
supervisors, appropriating money for
he construction of cement sidewalks
within the fire limits area, for all pro
1erty belonging to the city.
This means that the city will pave
River street from Kukui street to the
waterfront, and also the old fishmarket
n Alakea street, just mauka of the
whaTves.
The only other piece of government
property within the fire limits is the
Nahuka site, which needs a sidewalk
IN the side from King street to Mer
liant street in Bishop street. The city
will not do this work as the property
will be sold in the course of the next
month or so by the federal authorities,
md it will be up to the purchaser to
make the improvement
The city has about completed the side
walk around the Central Grammar School
in Emma street, and a sidewalk around
tala Park will probably be put down in
he near future.
At tonight's meeting of the board
l resolution will be introduced appro-
0riating money for the purchase of a
tnOx tractor, and also a twenty ton
steam road roller.
The tractor will be used for hauling
'Ock for the road department.
For the past two months the city has
been renting two rollers from Joseph A.
Gilman and the Lord, Young Engineer
ing Company.
Another twenty ton roller is badly
needed by the city. Two of the city Is
big rollers are being used on the coral
road being constructed from Wailee to
Waimea and were sent out from Homo
lulu for that purpose, leaving only ten
ton rollers for use ON city work proper.
