WAY OF SPREADING DISEASE
Water Pans In Henhouses Should Be
Cleaned Every Day-Flat Wash
~Sp. Basin Easily Cleaned.


How oftefi do you clean up the wa,
ter pans in your henhouses? You
ought to clean them every day. For
dirty water pan is the surest way
of spreading disease throughout your
flock.
The best way of handling water in
the poultry house is to keep it in a
cheap, fiat wash basin that can be
easily cleaned and refilled. It doesn't
pay to bother with patent water tanks.
You will have to fill them Just as
often as the basins, and they are hard
er to clean up.
Place the open basin on a box some
eight or ten inches high and perhaps
eighteen inches square, and make a
runway for this. This keeps II from
filling up with dirt and straw from the
floor, and the hens do not climb into
1t in drinking
Then put the box and basin in
sunny corner of the house away from
the roosts and nests. so that no dirt
can fall into ii from above.
Clean it and refill with clean, fresh
water every day and you will have
put the disease germs to flight indefi.

If the country storekeeper rehandles

however. even lightly cracked eggs
are of great importance. The inves-

the cracked eggs are rotten by Novem-
Der, generally because OF a growth of
mold. Sometimes the moldy crack
resting against the filler infects 1t
and the egg in the next cell becomes
moldy. Each leaking egg causes about
two eggs besides itself to rot. On the
other hand, good early spring eggs
with sound. clean shells show less

Therefore, the nine cracked eggs

About ten cracked eggs out of the

This loss of 2S1a cents a case, which

figures when the vast number of cases
of eggs that are stored is taken into
consideration. In As cold-storage

aerodome the machines left for the
aerodome at the front. After forty
minutes in unvarying steadiness of
speed above the pattern work of the
English hedges he turned at a given
point for the channel crossing. Usual
ly the crossing is made at height of
10000 feet. This allows of more lee
way to descend to the nearest shore
or to a steamer in the channel in case
of engine trouble. ...
"Our object is not to take any un-
necessary risks,'' said the pilot, "but
to get the plane to the front where it
is needed and will have risks in plen-
ty over the battlefield
On account of the thick weather he
took the channel this trip at height
of 1000 feet. AS the white lace
work of surf beat against the chalk
just under foot the correspondent
looked at his watch. Beneath were
all the patrol ships that guard the
channel, which were lost as the ma
chine ran into cloud.
Neither the shore nor the surface
of the water was to be seen. Then
the pilot stopped the engine and the
machine slid for a thousand feet, un-
til the sea floor dotted with the white
fecks of wave crests appeared, and
ahead as the engine took up it's re-
frain again was the white edging of
the surf at the foot of the chalk cliffs
of France.
AS the machine crossed that tape
the correspondent looked again at his
watch and saw that the time elapsed
was seventeen minutes. The flight
had not been made over the narrow
part of the channel. The fastest
steamer would have required an hour
and quarter and travelling that way
the passage would have been rough,
as heavy sea was running.
Now over the broad spaces of the
hedgeless land of France with the
fields so many patchwork squares
stretching between soft green clumps
of woods and on toward the section
of the front and the battle line. Then
finally over a cathedral tower and
down on the green floor of the aero
dome where there were a score of
other new planes fresh from Eng
land. When storms have prevented
migration for a period, fifty have
come in from England in one day.
"Good night" said the pilot after
he had reported his arrival to the
aerodome office and before getting
into an automobile. II am off to
catch the steamer and bring back an
other bus tomorrow.

CROSSING ENGLISH CHANNEL.
Aeroplane Goes From France to Eng
land i'm Seventeen Minutes.

Never were such numbers of planes
employed and never did they play
such an important part as in the bat
tie Of the Somme. The wastage OF
British planes at the front has been
supplied by new planes flown across
the channel from England, where,
after coming from the factory, they
are tested out at a home aerodome.
The record time in crossing the chan
mel at the narrowest point, where the
distance is twenty-five miles, is eight
minutes.
When the Associated Press CORE
spondent, who was in London for a
days leave from the front, asked a
certain general at the war office for
permission to fly back instead of 60
ing by steamer, train and automobile
the answer was "Perfectly easy.
And to prove it he called upon the
commander of the flying corps and in
five minutes all was arranged over
the telephone.
"What about my baggage?" asked
the correspondent.
ooh, take it along and strap it on, y
replied the general. "A plane that
carries $50 pounds of bombs will not
be bothered with dress suit case.
A dozen machines, one after an
other, were due to go to France that
day Is soon as the wire said storm
on the other side of the channel had
passed. The correspondent slipped
into a wadded jacket for protection
against the wind, which would also
act as a. life buoy if he happened to
fall into the channel, and took his
place, a position usually occupied by
the observer, who also mans a ma
chine gun.
'"She's a good and steady bus,
said the pilot. ''They flew her down
from the factory three days ago and
she's turned up and ready for her
part in the big show on the other
side. You must not expect any fancy
stunts or thrills. My business is to
fly her to France and deliver her in
good condition ready for work."
She was Immaculate in her fresh
varnish and reassuring in her
staunchness. This pilot has made
thirty such crossings and was proud
of the fact that he had never come
down at any of the way stations. Be-
fore the war he had been ranching
in South Africa and was one of the
thousands of men who knew nothing
about flying, but have become expert
aviators.

Democratic Meetings Well

From every quarter Of the state

Mitchell; democratic candidate for
congress. Tom Swindlehurst,
candidate for secretary of state
and j. 7. Carroll, candidate for
supreme court clerk, have been
speaking, comes the reports of the
largest political meetings ever
held in the history of the state of
Montana. The interest and en-
thusiasm are pronounced.
On the other hand the meetings
held by Frank j. Edwards and
Charles N. Pray, republican can
didate for governor and senator
respectively, have not turned out
well either in point of attendance
or interest. This is fact the re-
publican state committee is in
clined to admit.
Governor Stewart is making a
great campaign and is being given
from business men all
over the state, irrespective Of po-
litical affiliation. The same is true
as to the congressional ticket and
the entire state ticket.
Political observers say they have
never known in the history of the
state as pronounced a demand for
campaign buttons. More than
$4,000 Wilson buttons have al
ready been distributed and several
thousand Stewart buttons, with
the demand as strong as ever.
