It is absolutely necessary to conduct
the details OF the business in such a
way as to discourage little insects that
are disposed to make themselves trou-
blesome.
The general construction of the
building above the concrete founda.
ton is of wood. built in the usual way,
except that great care is taken to have
the inside woodwork as smooth as pos
sible, so 1t may be easily treated with
disinfectants to destroy all forms OF
life that are not profitable.
The roof OF the building is of the
usual gable-end pattern. with rainy
weather pitch. In making the roof the
rafters are first covered with roofing
boards, then with building paper and
shingles. The underside of the collar
beams and the lower part of the rafters
are ceiled with tongue and groove cell
ing, carefully fitted at the purlin
joints and at the plates to prevent
openings that might form a lodgment
for lice or mites.
The whole interior is thoroughly
well painted with three coats of thin
white lead paint. carefully rubbed into
the grain of the wood, which makes
the inside of the house light and clean.

though the house may be crowded.

likely to neglect well-bred fowls in a

rVy LOSSES SURELY PREVENTED
Girls Camps.

The American girl, while she does
not aspire to large muscles, or the
athletic records Of boys, is coming
forward in these days to demand as
her right physical training that will
send her out into life with an endow-
ment of health sufficient to meet its
demands.
DR.. d. A. Sargent, director Of the
Harvard gymnasium, tells us that
some twenty or thirty years ago he
had occasion to make a physical ex.
animation OF professional athletes.
Nearly every one of these men," he
says, who had become especially dis
tinguished, attributed his ability to
his mothers fine physique" With
out comment upon this unanswerable
argument for the health education of
women, he adds another: Although
women constitute one-half of the hu.
man race and are largely responsible
for its upbuilding. they have right
to a health education for their own
sakes."
The camp has opened the way for
others to follow.-Outing.

TREE is FOE OF MOSQUITO
Professor Plants Eucalyptus, Which
He Believes VIII Help to Rid
State of Two Pests.

Mosquitoes had better give Pennsyl-
vania a wide berth in the future. IL
Prof Henry G.. Walters eucalyptus
trees begin 10 flourish. Recently the
professor planted 500 seeds OF this
tree, which is native of Australia. at
his plant research institute at Lang
horne, Bucks county. He says they
keep away mosquitoes and miasma.
Professor Walters is not certain
that he can induce the .ree to stand
the Pennsylvania climate, but he's
going to try. Unless they are treated
chemically, they succumb usually to a
temperature below 81 degrees. When
they grow properly, they attain a
height of 375 to 4S0 feet.
They have other values in addition
to being mosquito exterminators. The
oil has a fragrant perfume. From the
eucalyptus rostrata, or red gum, Pro
fessor Walters says delicious bever-
age is obtained by sleeping the bios
SONS in water.
The tree species planted at Lang
horne are the amygdalina, or pepper
mint gum; the rostrata, or red gum,
and the globulus. or Tasmanian blue
gum.

necessary. thin cotton may be used
over the wire. Inside there Is large
scratching shed 10 feet square. In the
back part of this room the roosts are
supported by hanging wires suspended
from the roof, so that the whole floor
space may be covered with straw and
used for scratching purposes.
The roosts and nest boxes are all
made easily removable, to be carried
outdoors at housekeeping time, so
that all the walls and the ceiling may
be sprayed with whitewash or crude

The nest boxes, roosts and all other
chicken-house furniture are treated to
the same kind Of a bath, after taking
them outside, and they are left to dry
in the sun for several hours before be-
ing put back into place in the house.
This is done frequently in warm
weather and occasionally during the
winter. The climate or length Of the
warm season has good deal to do
with the proper disinfection Of the
poultry house to keep 1t in proper
condition.
The Matching room is provided with
extra large nests, to make room for a
layer of sod in the bottom and plenty
of straw to make the nests comforta-
Bile. Sod holds moisture, SO the eggs
will hatch better. There are 28 OF
these nest boxes. They rest on the

leaving the center part of the room for
the attendant to move about and visit
each Matching box every day.
1t is a comfortable sight to see the
biddies attending to business as close
neighbors In these different little
boxes. Rather close attention is re-
quired, however. by the poultry woman
during the incubation season, because
occasionally one of the hens wanders
from home. and that is what makes
trouble.
These nest boxes during the fall and
early winter are used for the laying
hens up to the time when incubation
should begin. After the brooding sea-
son in early spring the same room
comes In handy to shelter an extra
brood or two of chickens when the
other room--the regular brooder room
lis overcrowded.
From the Matching room the hens
with their little broods are transferred
to the brooder room in front. There
they are furnished with separate
brooder coops, where they can nurse
their little families until they are old
enough and strong enough to go into
one of the colony houses.
All the furniture in the Matching
room and brooder room is made re-
movable, for easy cleaning, the same
as the movables in the large room.
This is a very important provision In

the tragedy of the Lusitania, keeps a
modest place in the history of Ireland.
1t was here that Don Juan's feet land
ed 5000 men to join hands with
O'Neill, out of which landing grew the

BIG INCREASE OF
FARM PRODUCTS
Province Of Alberta Shows In.
crease of Over 20 Millions.

Figures just compiled by the public
ity branch of the provincial depart
ment show that last year, notwith-
standing that quite third of the prov
ince was affected by the drought to
a very serious extent, the total value
of agricultural products actually pro-
duced In the province showed an in
crease of over twenty million dollars
over that of the previous year. AL
though southern Alberta had bad
year agriculturally. the province as a
whole experienced period of great
Prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming. which is becoming more gem
eral with each succeeding year.
The value of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
the value of the spring wheat crop,
without taking into consideration the
value of the butter milk, cheese. poul-
try, vegetables, and other by-products
of the farm.
Oats was the banner grain crop,
1,147,3S2 acres being seeded, and pro-
ducing 34,397,117 bushels. or 30.15 to
the acre. Sold at an average of soc
per bushel. these yielded revenue of
$17,19S,558. Comparatively little win
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-
ing little short of one million bush
els, but the spring wheat crop
amounted to 15.102,0S3 bushels, the
yield per acre being 1926. At an aver
age of $1.35 per bushel. the value Of
the spring wheat crop was therefore
$20,3S7.S12. The total production Of
barley was 7.s47.640 bushels. which, at
55c per bushel. yielded revenue Of
s4.316,202.
Other productions were as follows:
Flax, 207.115 bushels. $310.672.00; rye.
261,S43 bushels. 1896, 1899 90: speltz. A.

bushels, 100000; turnips three mil
lion bushels, $4,000 carrots. 100000
bushels, $4,000; mangolds, $4,000

fish, $4,000; game and furs, $780,
900; horticultural products, $150,000;
poultry and products. $3.50. 900.
The total of the agricultural prod
ucts is given as s7s,516.S91, as COM
pared with $5s,09S.0s4 in 1918.
The statistics also show that the
value of the live stock In the province
at the end Of the year was $110,044,-
$50, this being an increase of s7.762,-
s45 over the previous year. There
were 609,125 horses. 750.7S9 swine,

Keeping purebred poultry requires

Poultry associations are responsible
for the wholesale breeding of valu-
able fowls, because the shows they

every section Of the country.
