dane by introducing new blood occa-
sionally or by having the breeding
stock each year reared under farm
conditions. Most all city or town peO-
pie have n few farmer friends that
would be glad to raise some of their
pure-bred poultry on halves.
For n good arrangement Of a town
poultry plant see the accompanying
figure. A shows the movable colony

the next year be used to grow the
chicks and the garden put where
chicks were the year before. Il shows
laying house, IA by 40, divided in two
pens, each large enough to accommo-
date about 20 laying hens. 1t will be
noticed that to each of these pens is
attached two yards, G. This makes II
possible to use one yard for a garden
one year and the next year the other.
This system of yarding keeps the
ground sweet ut all times, and makes
1t possible to grow wonderful garden
crops without buying any commercial
fertilizer. ID shows the movable colo
ny houses for the growing stock. One
Of these houses may be used as cock
erel house. These yards should be cul-
tivated when not in use or planted to
some crops once n year to prevent
their becoming contaminated.
A plant of this size properly taken
care Of can be made to bring in q
profit over all expenses except labor,
of from $500 to $500. After several
years improved breeding, gradually
working into the breeding of high-bred
stock, either for egg production or for
the show, there is no telling to what
extent such a plant may be worked
Remember, TO make a success on such
plant it is highly important to keeI
the stock healthy, strong and vigOr

BOASTFUL IGNORANCE
BY DR.. SAMUEL G. DIXON

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The boastfulness of Ignorance is or

The boastfulness of ignorance is or

when 1t jeopardlzes the health of other
people, it is perhaps worth while to
take up the cudgels.
There is d class of individuals who
pooh-pooh all warnings regarding mat
tiers of hygiene, and usually end their
assertions by informing you that their
grandfathers never paid any attention
to "such nonsense" and what's more
they never have, and here they are
alive and well to show for 1t. Sta

fortunately, some give an ear to such
foolish boosting and run headlong
into danger.
The transmission of disease by
germs is most frequently attacked by
the ignorant. Those people who ac-

that the world revolves upon its axis
as a part of the solar system, and
thousands of other things which they
are incompetent to work out for them

typhoid fever, diphther!a, yellow fever,
tuberculosis, anthrax, malaria and
pneumonia are caused by germs has
been proven, just as definitely as the

POULTRY
'FN1S
COLD STORAGE is EFFICIENT
Recommended by Expert Of Kansas
Agricultural College az Best Way
of Keeping Eggs.

Cold storage is the Lest way to pre-
serve eggs, in the opinion of f. 70.
Mussehl, instructor in poultry hus-
bandry in the Kansas State Agrlcul-
tural college.
"kiany preparations are used for
preserving eggs" says Mr.. Mussehl,
"but none are as efficient as cold stor-
age. Some persons use sodium sill
cate, commonly known as water glass,
while others use lard or one of the
many commercial preparations to pre-
serve eggs.
"These methods of storing eggs pre-
vent decomposition by bacterial action,
but do not stop engine action. The
engines are always present in the egg
and are active at ordinary tempera-
lures. With good fresh eggs kept at
the proper storage temperature 81
or 80 degrees acknowledgements &C.
ton as well as bacterial action is pre-
vented. Three months Is long time
to keep eggs at room temperature yet
this is what the poultry department
has DONE"
! In order to prove the superiority OF
infertlle eggs over fertile ones in keep
ing quality, Mr.. Mussehl kept a dozen
eggs in his Office for three months
When examined at the end of the
period they showed no signs of decom
position other than slight thinning
of the white and yolk, and a faint
odor. These changes were due to the
action of engines within the egg.

ERADICATION OF RED MITES
All Nieht Pests Fill Their Bodies With
Blood From Fowls and Then
Hide in Daytime

The red mite is the worst enemy
the poultryman has to contend with,
and the very hardest one to fight.
This pest is very small and normally
is grayish in color, but, more often,
it presents a deep red color, be-
cause of the blood with which it is
filled.
Unless very numerous, the mites are
seldom found on the hens. The pests
work on the hens at night, filling their
bodies with blood, and hide beneath
the perches, and in cracks and crew
ices near the roosting quarters during
the day.
Whitewash is not very effective in
fighting the red mite. A better spray
ing material is coal oil emulsion. This
is made by dissolving half a bar Of
laundry soap in hot water and adding
half a gallon of coal oil. This mixture
can be diluted with five gallons Of
water. The emulsion is best applied
with spray-pump, for the reason
that the pump will put the fluid in
cracks and crevices that could not be
reached with brush. ~
The job of spraying must be very
thoroughly done. Some of the mites
will likely escape the first spraying,
and for this reason it is advisable to
repeat the spraying in few days, and
again in q week, to destroy the mites
that hatch from eggs.

WHY DO BOYS LEAVE THE FARM?
BY JAMES J. WHITE

crime. There never was time when
the individual did not stand for lot
more out in the country or small town
than in the big city.
Why then do the boys leave the
farm? There are several reasons:
1. This is an age of unrest. We do
not stop to think that our present
prosperity and happiness depend upon
what our fathers and our grandfathers
have done. Changes are looked upon
as improvements.
2. Some young men have a special
leaning toward other business.
3. They become dissatisfied with
their present surroundings. They see
the difficulties of the business in which
they are engaged, but do not apprecla-
ate the difficulties of those with which
they are not acquainted.
Here are several reasons why boys
should not leave the farm:
l. Farming is the most Independent
life. Farmers are their own masters.
2. No business in which you get so
large return for the Investment.
3. No business In which you find so
many leisure hours.
4. No business in which success is
so assured.
5. No business in which there is a
better chance to go.
Not long ago the Farmers Breeze
published an article on this subject
The writer says:

a beautiful sight and substantially
profitable. They will turn much waste

and such flock alone will make it
possible to have fresh eggs any and at
all times. Fresh eggs are in reality
very hard to get, and unless you have
a small flock of hens you perhaps not
very often get the real fresh eggs.
The greatest difficulties in cOnnec-

the prevention of contamination of the
land and the keeping up of the vigOr
of the stock. The former can only be
prevented by proper rotation and
planting to crops. The latter may be

Poultry Keeping On

It certainly is true that poultry rails

better. Many salaried men realize that
some day they will be too old to hold
down their job. They will see some
younger man taking their place. 1t is
then that many of these think Of going
into the poultry business on a small
scale, just large enough to make a
