CHEAP MIXTURE FOR VERMIN
Formula Given by Pennsylvania State
coIIege-Should Be Kept on
Hand tho Year Round.

While there are many ready-pre-
pared lice mixtures on the market,
none are more effective than mix
ture recommended by Pennsylvania
State college. 1t may be made at
home and is cheap.
The formula is: Two and one-half
pounds OF plaster or paris, three-Quar-
.ers of pint Of gasoline, one-fourth
of pint of crude carbolic acid. When
the ingredients are mixed, one will
have an effective lice powder that
costs less than five cents pound. The
mixture should be worked through a
fine sieve, to break up Jumps and to
get in such form that it will sift read
lily.
When it is first mixed it will be too
wet to sift, but the gasoline will soon
evaporate. The active principle in
driving away the lice is the carbolic
acid. To use the homemade prepara-
tion, which should be kept on hand
the year around, one Sits it over the
birds the same as any other lice pow
der.

PULLETs FOR WINTER LAYERS
Advisable to Select Those That Have
Grown Rapidly-Hen In Action
Needs Lots of Room.

In selecting pullets for this winters
layers, it is advisable to choose those
birds that have grown rapidly and
we'll and those that show quality, as
indicated by soft, pliable skin over
the brease bone and abdominal cavity.
In addition to these two considera-
tions quality is further indicated by
the texture of the head parts. The
comb and wattles should not only be
we'll developed but should have nice,
smooth, velvetv texture. A fourth con-
sideration in selecting the prospective
layer is that Of capacity. A hen in &C
tion needs lots of room, that is to say,
room for the digestive and reproduc-
tive organs. Such capacity is indicat-
ed by good width between the pelvic
bones and also good width between
these and the rear end Of the keel.

sYTEM FOR FEEDING FOWLS
Grain, Green Food, Grubs, Grit and
Shell Are Necessary In Chicken
Diet-Dry Mash Best.

For the hen that is manufacturing
an egg every day, or one in two days,
it is impossible to get the required
nourishment fast enough unless it is
taken into the body already ground.
The best system of feeding, then, as
recognized the country over, is to give
one or more Of the varieties Of whole
grain as a means Of exercise; that
is, fed in a deep litter so the fowls
will have to work for it. Then use a
variety of ground foods to supply the
nourishment, heat and energy Of the
bird.
The four "gs" give us cue as to
what is necessary in the chicken diet
grain, green food, grubs, grit and
shell. Whole grain gives the best re-
suits when two or more forms are
mixed and fed twice daily in deep
litter. Three parts wheat, three parts
cracked corn and one part oats, or
equal parts wheat and cracked corn or
kafr, makes good combination. One
pint to ten fowls is about the right
amount, with the heaviest feed at
night.
Ground food may be fed in either a
dry or wet form, but for breeders and
layers, dry mash is best, while for fat
tening poultry it is better to use wet
mash. The dry form may be supplied
in self-feeding hoppers. A good mix
ture would be:
Seven pounds mill run, seven pounds
cornmeal, three pounds beef scrap,
two pounds alfalfa leaves, onehalf
pound charcoal.

Ration for Chicks.

A simple grain mixture in corn,
wheat, and oats, little more corn as
the weather gets colder and less dur
ing the summer days. A little buck
wheat and sunfower seed added to
this mixture during fall and winter
months is beneficial. Green foods,
such as alfalfa, cabbage, sprouted
oats or mangels should be fed free
ly. Fresh green cut bone or beef
scraps and charcoal should also be
supplied at all seasons OF the year.

FEED CHARCOAL EVERY WEEK
Always Advisable to Feed as Early In
Morning as convenient--shake
Up the Litter.

Once week, or oftener, it may be
we'll to add to the hens ration sup
ply of granulated charcoal In the
winter it is always advisable to feed
as early in the morning as conven-
lent, and give the evening meal about
an hour before dark.
Shake up the litter with a fork, 30
that the grain will work down into it,
which will compel the fowls to hunt
for their rations.

habits, are good foragers, and on an

Breed for Winter EGGS.

The choice of breed for the pro.

largely by the peculiar requirements

to be sold, and also by the demand for

an important side line.

GETTING READY
FOR BIG FIGHT
ON PROHIBITION

Washington, Dec. 2S-House leaders are
preparing for a vigorous fight over the
prohibition issue in Congress.
Chairman Webb of the House judiciary
committee, who is an earnest advocate
of prohibition and whose committee has
jurisdiction over the question. already
has informally conferred with Chairman
Henry of the rules committee regarding
the prospective attitude of the commit
tee toward any effort to report rule
that would permit bringing up consti-
tutional amendment for nationwide pro-
hibiton on the floor of the House. The
rules committee will be organized early
in January and the question of rule
will then be raised.
Members of the Anti-Saloon Society
have been active in their campaign for
congressional legislation and their efforts
have been reflected i'll numerous commu-
nications to members Of both houses.
The announced purpose of some OF the
leaders in the campaign is to seek to put
onto an appropriation bill a rider pro-
vidns for prohibition in the District of
Columbia, and, in the event they should
be successful in that move, to bring up
the constitutional prohibition amendment
which Senator Sheppard and former Con-
gresham Hobson have fought for.
