AS a rule, the average Belgian
horse will remain in good flesh UNI
der conditions where the ordinary
horse would get thin. Belgians are
easy keepers because they are rath-
er short Of length and leg. 1t will
usually be noticed that a horse of
moderately short leg and body will
keep in better flesh on short rations
than will n of the loosely built,

be tightly constructed on all sides to
prevent any drafts. While more
open and less expensive houses may
be built in warm climates, the house
must be comfortable in cold weather.
The squads produced in winter may be
increased somewhat by heating the
pigeon house, but this does not pay
under average conditions. Sunlight is
essential.
Windows should make up about
one-tenth of the front of the house
and be so arranged that they can be
taken out during the warm weather.
One window in each pen may be re-
placed by muslin curtains for ventila-
ton in cold weather. The windows
should be placed just below the caves
to allow the sun to shine well back
into the house.

CONTROL OF LICE AND MITES
Bulletin on Subject Issued by Experts
of Connecticut Station-Three
Good Remedies.

Bulletin No. Sc of the Storrs agri-
cultural experiment station on the sub
iect, "Some Lice and Mites on the
Hen" by Lamson and Manter, places
emphasis on the following points:
That there is much confusion re-
garding the relative harmful effects Of
the lice and mites owing to the fact
that the lice are more easily seem with
the result that they are often accused
of causing injury actually done by
mites.
That the lice can be easily con-
trolled by the use Of blue ointment
rubbed on the hen.
That carbolenium or one of the coal
tar products will kill or repel the
mites if applied once year by the
right method to the rOosts.
That caraway oil proves the best
control measure for the scaly leg
mite.

In many flocks, without apparent
cause, some of the chicks lose control
of their legs. The afflicted chicks can
not walk, but their appetltes remain
unabated. This condition usually re-
suits from too heavy feeding without
sufficient exercise.
The chicks legs, through the lack
of exercise, have become too weak to
carry the rapidly increasing weight

Heading the show is the Three Higgie Girls, offering a delightful and original feast of music and mirth. Knox Brothers are two clever comedians, who are different and will be big hit with the patrons of this theatre. The next act is Ev- elyn and Dolly, two versatile girls, who present a singing, dancing, roller skating and bicycle act. For a three act combination these would be hard to equal for the money. The Triangle feature is Douglass Fairbanks in his new hilarious comedy, The Habit of Happiness, a five-part production with plenty of life and good clean comedy.
