Question: What is the cause of
scaly-leg and what will cure it,"
Answer: "Scaly-leg is the result
Of the irritation of a little parasite
which may come from another fowl
or from an infected or unsanitary
house, and is very contagious. There
is no excuse for the existence of
scaly-leg in flock, as it is one of the
easiest troubles to cure. A good
ointment will kill the parasite in a
few days and the scales will come off
as soon as the irritation ceases. Mix
half an ounce of sulphur with about
five tablespoonfuls of vaseline and
rub the shanks thoroughly for several
days, then miss a week or two and
apply once or twice more. This
should entirely cure the trouble. A
little carbolic acid in lard or vaseline
is also good ointment.

Does Food Affect Quality of Eggs ?

docs food affect the quality of
eggs?" asks subscriber.
1t most certainly does. A small
amount of any particular food does
not, as a rule, show either in the
quality or the color of an egg, but
larger quantities show very readily.
Fish, onions or any other food which
has strong taste carries the same
taste to the egg and often makes it
unfit for use. Filthy or decaying
food should never be fed to the lay
ing hens.
Quite a number of foods, too, color
the yolk of the egg. Rape and alfal-
ia when eaten in large quantities,
will produce a very green and some
times nearly black yolk. OF course
this does not effect the flavor of the
egg unpleasantly at all, for both
foods are clean and palatable. Some
interesting experiments were made a
few years ago, when some investi-
gator attempted to force a small
flock in his possession to lay "easter
eggs" by feeding them dyes or diff
ferent colors along with their other
food. He had but little success
changing the color of the shell but it
is reported that the effect on the yolk
was very decided.

Lice.

It Is not an uncommon thing to
hear a man say, II haven't louise in
my flock" and upon examination find
that the fluff and feathers of the
fowl are full of the big six-legged
fellows that sap the life and vitality
Of the flock. They are not easy to
see at a glance, as they have va
riety Of colors and move very quickly
among the feathers. Don't you be
fooled, Mr.. Poultryman! Examine
your birds very closely today.
First of all provide the hens with a
dust bath. They will do much to-
ward keeping themselves free IL this
is provided. The breathing apparatus
OF the louise cannot stand much fine
dust. Then there are a number Of
good dust powders on the market.
Those containing pulverized tobacco
are good. The main point to remem-
Der in busting your fowls is to do

Fighting Over Jobs.


The most harmless thing the sem
ate can do is to fight with the presi-
dent over jobs. OF course the re-
suits may be disappointing to the
fellows who are not confirmed. but
that is of negligible consequence.
The president is following the plan
of his predecessors, Messrs. Roose-
welt and Taft, in making recess APP
pointments, thereby keeping some of
his friends in Office. The senate pro-
poses to investigate this method of
"beating them to it," and commit
tie has been appointed to look into
the matter.

The Olympia Show.

Entries for the Olympia show will
close on Saturday night of this week,
but Secretary Lee, in order to accom-
modate exhibitors, will receive en-
tries as late as Tuesday noon, the
10th. All exhibits should be in the
showroom Tuesday evening in order
that judging may begin promptly
Wednesday morning.
Judge Will Purdy, Of Ferry, Wash
ington, will place the awards, and 1t
goes without saying that they will be
placed right. The score card will be
used and the owner of every speci-
men will be furnished with a card
showing just where each individual
fowl is weak or strong. This should
appeal especially to those who are
showing for the first time.
We would urge that every breeder
show at least few fowls. There are
many reasons why it will be worth
while to do SO. Every exhibitor will
get full value in the information and
inspiration derived. Every exhibitor
will help the poultry industry in this
county. There is a mighty force
gained by cooperation and united
effort. This is your show, take a
pride in 1t and make it worth while.
The association is liberal with it's
trophies and prizes. Will you do
your part?

good job. Catch the fowls by the feet
and, with their heads down so that
the feathers will be ruffled up, care
fully dust in the powder, and be sure
that all parts are reached. Repeat
this two or three timer at intervals
of a few days, so that those that are
missed with one busting may be
caught the next time.

a hearing of their grievances and the
matter will be taken up in Chicago
next month. The petition from the
Western roads differs from that Of
the Eastern in that it does not ask
for a horizontal raise, but increases
based upon traffic conditions and
upon the movement of individual
classes and commodities. This il
alleged to amount to from to per
cent in some cases, to as high as 2S
per cent in other instances. The pc
titions will be vigorously contested
by many of the Western states.
These railroad rate hearings are
important beyond the mere fact that
they are the basis of readjustment
OF rates, as they demonstrate that
there is a proper tribunal for the
settlement of such matters. For
merly it was a case of ''jockeying''
with legislatures and congressman.

Congressman Lewis of Maryland

just after it had been won by James

had spent quarter of century in
fighting for the reform, and shrieked
loudly: "See, did it," The strange
part of all is that he got away with
the claim and a whole lot of mis-
guided people have ever since been
calling him the Father of the Parcel
Post" Now Mr.. Lewis declares that
eminent ownership proposition OF
telegraph and telephone lines the
same as we did with the parcel post
until we win." The whole spirit Of

is being devoted to securing better
results from the regulation of the

Evil Power of Patronage.
Senator Borah wants direct cleo

commenting upon the fact that the

"by and with the advice and consent
of the senate" says that as result
important legislation now is planned
