The scouts, which represented nearly

by hundreds Of people. Besides the

erected. Altogether the scouts at

Why Go to School?
A short time ago boy said to me,
Il wish the folws would't make me
go to school any more. I'd like to
quit and get job. I don't see what

all about grammar and to study all
those dates in history, that are SO hard
to remember"
''well," said, Maybe there's some

boys naturally SO stupid that they

and they might just as well quit first
as last. Now, if you think you be-

POULTRY HOUSE CLEANING.
The Ideal Time to Get Ready for the
Winter Season-White Washing Will
Help.

During the next few weeks good
poultrymen will give their poultry
buildings a thorough cleaning, getting
rid of all surplus stock that may not
be carried over the winter, and pre-
pairing the pens for the pullets which
should be in winter quarters by Octo-
Der /. \ thorough cleaning is most
essential because at this season of
the year poultry diseases are most
neumerous and most difficult to COM
bat. If the birds go into the winter
in absolutely clean houses, thoroughly
disinfected they stand a very good
chance to go through the season with
out serious diseases. All poultry house
appliances and everything removable In
the building should be taken out doors,
exposed to the sunshine, thoroughly
washed and disinfected.
Where there are concrete and board
floors the litter should be removed, the
| floor swept and washed with a good
disinfectant. Perches and dropping
boards should receive similar treat
ment receiving a good spray OF three
parts kerosene, and one part OF crude
carbolic acid. In houses with dirt
floors. several inches Of the dirt should
be removed with the. litter and new
gravel added. o..
Tt is a very good plan to whitewash
poultry houses at this time of the
year. because whitewash destroys Hce
and is particularly valuable. because
it lightens the building perceptfoly. "A
tablespoonful of crude carbolic acid
should be added to the whitewash &c
increase its effectiveness as a destroy
er poultry vermin. The most promin-
emit whitewash solution is known a
/ the government whitewash which II
made by shaking half bushel Of lime
