POULTRY
CONSUL TING DEPARTMENT
Poultry House Sanitation

POULTRY House sanitation
The poultry flock on the farm
should be money maker in this year
of high prices and the farmer who
does not house all of his vigorous
pullets to the best advantage will
make a mistake. In preparing for
winter the house should be thorough
ly cleaned and disinfected. White
wash gives the interior of the house
a bright clean appearance but it is
disliked by some poultrymen, due to
the fact that it gathers dampness.
The commercial disinfectants are very
efficient. Kerosene oil is excellent for
destroying mites and the roosts
should be thoroughly saturated. II
carbolic acid is added to the oil in a
proportion as low as one to ten it will
be even better, although l have had
excellent success in keeping down
mites this year by simply using kero-
sene. Lice paints used freely over
the equipment Of the house will prove
good investment in many instances.
The largest part of the poultry
house renovating will, however, be
just plain work with the shovel and
broom. If the house contains an
earth floor the old dirt should be re-
moved and replaced with clean gar
den soil. 1t is very nice to have
gravel, but the cost of hauling will
make the use of gravel too expen-

Maintaining Earth Roads

The first and last commandment in
earth road maintenance is to keep the
road we'll drained. To insure good
drainage the bitches should be kept
open, all distractions removed and
a smooth crown maintained. Side
bitches Of ample capacity should be
maintained with sufficient fall to dis
pose of surface water. These bitches
in most places can be contracted and
repaired with good machine. The
road machine or grader may in gen.
eral be used effectively for this work.
The machine should be used when
the soil is damp so that it will pack
and bake into hard crust.
All vegetable matter, such as sods
and weeds, should be kept out of the
road, as they make a spongy surface
which retains moisture. Clods are
also Objectionable for they soon turn
to dust or mud. Bowlders or loose
stones are equally Objectionable if a
smooth surface is to be obtained.
A split-log drag or some similar
device is very useful in maintaining
the surface after suitable bitches and
cross-sections have once been con-
structed. This drag can also be US
ed to advantage on most gravel roads
as well as on earth road. The prin-
ciple involved in dragging is that
clays. and most heavy soils will pud-
die if worked when wet and set very
hard when dry. The little attention
that the earth road needs must be
given promptly, therefore, and at the
proper time if the best results are to
be obtained.
In dragging roads only a small

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON FOR DEC. 70
SECURED EXCLUSIVELY BY THE
BANNER FOR IT'S MANY
READERS
ACCORDING TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SERIES
Text of the Lesson, Rev. ii, ILL
Memory Verse Golden Text,
Rev. ii, 10. Commentary Prepar-
ed by Rev. ID. M. Stearns.

Although three OF the seven epistles
are included In this lesson. we must try
to consider somewhat the whole seven,
for they are the last messages from the
risen and assembled Saviour to His
church on earth. perhaps some sixty
years. as we count time, after He as
cended, and contain His heart mes
sages concerning that which He APP
proves or disapproves. These seven
churches represented all the churches
of that time and now and between
then and now, and as Individual be-
levers we must lay to heart the les
sons, the warnings. admonitions and
announcements for our personal use
in our daily life.
/ have found II helpful, and many
others also, to write down these love
letters in seven parallel, vertical col
umns on large sheet Of paper, plac-
ing opposite to each, horizontally, like
matter I'm each epistle. beginning each
column with the greeting to the church,
then His titles. which are different In
each: at the foot Of each column the
promise to the oyercomer. which Is also
different in each, and then the admoni'
ton, HE that hath an ear let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches" which in the first three
comes before the overcoming promise
and in the last four follows 1t. The
words of comfort and encouragement
and warning and admonition come IL
between these first two and last two
items Let us pray to know Him more
intimately as He reveals Himself e
each church according to their need
He holdeth the messengers to eact
church in His right hand and walks

amount of earth is moved, just
enough to fill the ruts and depressions
with a thin layer Of plastic clay or
earth which packs very hard SO that
the next rain, instead of finding ruts
and depressions in which to collect,
runs off, leaving the surface but lit
tie affected.
Using the Drag
The drag should be light and
should be drawn over the road at an
angle of about as degrees. The driv-
er should ride on the drag and should
not drive faster than a walk. One or
two round trips, the first straddling
the wheel tracks, is usually sufficient
to fill the ruts and smooth surface.
If necessary, the road should be drag
ged after every bad spell of weather,
when the soil is in proper condition
to puddle well and still not adhere
to the drag. If the road is very bad
it may be dragged when very wet and
again when it begins to dry out. A
few trips over the road will give the
operator an idea as to the best time
to drag. Drag at all seasons but do
not drag dry road.
The side slope or crown of an
earth road should be about one inch
to the foot. If the crown becomes
too high it may be reduced by drag
ging toward the ditch instead of from
it. If the drag cuts too much, the
hitch should be shortened and the
driver should change his position on
the drag. If it is necessary to pro-
tect the face of the drag with a strip
of iron, it should be placed flush with
the edge of the drag and not project
ing. A cutting edge should be avoid
ed as the main object of the drag is
to remove but a small amount of the
damp soil which is smeared over the
surface of the road.

Oleomargarine Frauds
If it were not for the fact that
there is so much profit selling oleo-
margarine for butter the manufac-
turers would not find so many ways
of violating the law. The secretary
of the treasury reports that the frau
dulent sale of colored oleomargarine
by five manufacturers has defrauded
the government out Of more than
$40 100000 in six years. Under the
law, manufacturers pay one-fourth of
cent a pound for uncolored oleo-
margarine and 10 cents a pound for
that colored yellow like butter. These
men had bought the stamps for the
uncolored goods.
1t is now proposed by the National
Dairy Union that congress should
pass law forbidding the coloring of
oleomargarine above standard OF
20 per cent white, except that anyone
may color it as they like for their own
family use.
"The bill introduced provides that
the name of oleomargarine shall be
changed to margarine; that it shall
be sold in half, one or five-pound
packages properly marked, wrapped
and branded; that books shall be kept
in such form as is prescribed and
open to inspection; that a strip stamp
should be wrapped around each wrap
per instead of the coupon stamp now
used; for a fiat tax of one cent per
pound on all margarine; for special
taxes or manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers; that the sale of mar
garine shall be subject to the laws Of
the state and shall not be exempt
thereform by reason of being intro
duced in the original packages or 9TH
erwise, and for heavy penalties for
violations Of the law.

sive in many localities. A cement
floor should be thoroughly cleaned by
removing the litter and giving it
good scrubbing. About two inches
of garden soil covered with foot Of
fresh straw for litter will place the
floor in good condition for the pullets.
Wooden floors should also be scrub
bed and patched where necessary. The
walls and ceiling will soon become
covered with dust and cobwebs and a
thorough sweeping and busting is in
order.
Before placing the pullets in their
winter quarters every bird should re-
ceive the blue ointment treatment for
lice as this will prove satisfactory
louise insurance until spring and it
will save busting with louise powders
during the cold winter months, but
on the other hand, the hen has less OPP
portunity for busting herself and lice
will thrive even in the coolest months,
especially on the hen that is slightly
lacking in vigor. Use a smear of
blue ointment beneath the vent and
another under each wing and the pull
let will be properly protected. As
far as mites are concerned, If the
roosts are free from the pests the
Will L<1kG CdIt VI tuciilStlNcS.
In preparing for winter q sufficient
be stored in barrels to insure good
supply of busting material until
spring. Place the earth in large
shallow box where the sun may strike
it as much as possible and the dirt
baths will help to keep up the vital
ity of the hens during the long win
ter months. 1t seems that life can
hardly be worth living for hen in
the winter unless she is given a lot
of attention on the part of her owner.
The attention costs money but as we
have previously mentioned there is no
reason that first-class pullets should
have to neglect their board bill, con-
sidering the present price of eggs.
After the interior of the poultry
house has been given a thorough
cleaning the equipment should be
given attention. Nests should be re-
moved and placed in the sun, then dis
infected and filled with clean straw,
especially in the corners so that the
pullets will learn to like the nests
from the day their first egg is laid
Feed hoppers will need a thorough
cleaning and the drinking utensils
should receive the best scalding that
they have had all season. When
this work has been completed the
poultry house will be ready for the
pullets. 1t should be remembered
that one of the greatest causes of
poultry failures is a lack of santa
ton in the houses, especially during
the winter when the birds are confin-
ed. Sanitation is rather a big sound
word but it simply means digging
dirt and keeping it out.
