POULTRY
.FACIS
FUMIeATloN OF MUCH VALUE
Not Only Destroys Lice and Mites in
Poultry House, But Also Kills
Lurking Disease Germs.

Every fall, If not oftener, the poul.
try building should be thoroughly
fumigated. not alone to destroy lice
and mites, but to kill disease germs
which may Turk in the cracks between
boards and I'm the dust that collects on
the timbers. The easiest method is
to use the sulphur candles made for
the purpose and sold by dealers in
poultry supplies. If these cannot be
obtained easily, flowers of sulphur
which may be obtained at any drug
store and which is the finely powdered
form, may be burned on live Goals or
with paper.
II Goals are used a pan half full Of
sand and dirt may be set on the floor
of the house, a shOvelful of live Goals
put in it and half pint of flowers Of
sulphur placed on the Goals. II II is
not convenient to use this method, a
layer of lightly crumpled paper may
be placed on the sand in the pan, some
flowers of sulphur sprinkled on, then
more sulphur until four or FIVE layers
are made, with sulphur on top. This
may be lighted at the bottom and if
it burns well, will ill the house full of
the fumes. The contents of one pan
will fumigate = house ten &c fifteen
feet wide and twelve to fifteen feet
long. For long building several pans
must be used at the same time
All windows and doors should be
kept closed while the sulphur is buru-
ing so that the fumes will be confined
and will penetrate every part of the
house. The house should be kept
closed for an hour and then may be
opened and aired. In another hour it
will be fit for the fowls to use again.

OYSTER SHELL is NECESSARY
Matter OF Economy to Keep Plentiful
Supply Of Sharp Grit Before Fowls
az All Times.

Many feed oyster shells and believe
that this is all that is required in the
line of grit oyster shell is necessary
for the welfare of the hens, supplying
lime that goes into the formation OF
egg shell and bone, but it will not al
together answer as a substitute for
grit, for the reason that ii is too soft.
Experiments have proven conciu-
siyely that it is q matter of economy
to keep a plentiful supply of good
sharp grit before the fowls all the
time.
When fowls are not supplied with
grit much of the food eaten passes
through their bodies in an undigested
state. Besides, the lack Of grit throws
an undue strain upon the digestive
system, resulting in liver and bowel
trouble.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
HAVE CLOSE CALL
IN BAD RUNAWAY

Eagle, Dec. "a runaway, which
might have proved to be much more
serious than it was, was caused here
Friday morning when the horse, driven
by the three children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Beckley became frightened at an auto
mobile, and ran into the fence, throw
ing all of the occupants out.
The boys We're just about to turn in
to the Eagle school, where they are
attending, when an unknown automo-
bile came suddenly UP behind them.
The horse. which has always been
considered very gentle, became fright
ened, turned into the school yard, and
galloped toward the rear. Two of the
boys were thrown out as he ran, but
the driver held on to the lines until
the frightened animal ran into the
fence. This threw the last of the boys
out under the horses heels.
Boys from the school hurried to the
spot. No one was seriously hurt: but
all were badly frightened. and the
driver slig atty bruised about the face.
Those who witnessed the accident
consider it most remarkable that the
boys escaped with so few bruises.
The buggy and harness, which were
badly damaged. were taken to the
blacksmith to be repaired during the
day. Two of the older boys, Ruhel
Hayden and Marvin Gardner, drove
the horse home for the boys, as the
principal thought it unwise to again
trust them with it's management.

BALANCE LEFT IN
THE ASYLUM FUND
Board of Blackfoot Institu-
ton Has Saved Money
Out of the Appropriation
Made by Legislature.

Approximately $4,000 of the tax
payers money has been saved by the
board of directors of the Blackfoot in
sane asylum, the biennial report Of
that institution filed with the COVER
nor shows. The present board of d.
rectors will be able to turn that
amount back to the state treasury. 1t
will also have the satisfaction of
cleaning up $4,000 worth of deficien-
cies inherited from former administra-
lions. The board is composed OF
George II. Fisher, of Bancroft; l.. e.
Dillingham;, of Mackay and S. L. Reece,
of Blackfoot.
The board recommends an appro-
priation of $4,000 be made by the
next legislature for the purpose of
building a superintendent's admins
tration building and residence and for
remodeling the old quarters suitable
for wards. The board holds it would
be criminal to avoid this responsible
ity. An appropriation of $4,000 for
the maintenance of the asylum is rec
1mmended.
The report of DOR Poynter med
cal superintendent of the asylum,
shows that at the beginning of the
year. July 1, 1914, there were 295 pa

CHURCH BAZAAR AND
SUPPER A SUCCESS

Eagle, Dec. 9.-Despite the evil fore
bodings of inclement weather. the
annual chicken supper and bazaar,
given by the Ladies' Aid of the Bap-
fist church, proved even a greater
success than was anticipated. All day
the dark, threatening sky and the
occasional flying of snow gave little
encouragement to those who had un-
dertaken its promotion.
When the time for supper arrived,
however, the large dining room of the
I. o. o. r. hall was filled with those
who answered natures summons to
obey that deep-seated longing which
lies within ones stomach-a longing
which chicken never fails to satisfy.
For two hours people came and went,
and many were forced to wait their
turn.
After supper the following short pro-
gram was given:
Piano solo-Mrs Goodwin.
Selection-Male Quartet
Reading-Miss Pierce.
Vocal solo-Miss Goodall.
The evening was concluded by a
little auction sale at which all the re-
naming unsold articles were disposed
of. Many beautiful things were
brought by the ladies to be sold. The
venture Is considered by all a notable
success,

During the year 144 patients were ad-
mitted. 1o1 males and 43 females. A
total of 20 patients were discharged.
The institution is in a cofgested con-
dition because of lack of room.
DEFICIENCY WARRANTS.
Speaking of deficiency warrants and
the saving the institution made the
board of directors says in Its re-
port:
I'VE believe that deficiency warrants
have been the rule throughout many
departments of state government, not
withstanding the fact that we have a
law prohibiting this condition. We
had to pay from our appropriation In
the neighhorhood of $4,000 worth of
claims that were contracted by a pre-
ceding dictatorship, which proves the
law easily gotten around, and which
also emphasizes the fact that defi-
ciencies are the rule.
Therefore to administer affairs and
keep within the appropriation is the
