fined.
The difficulty Of keeping the feed
clean and dry during continued eI-
posure Is nearly overcome by using
troughs with Slated sides and broad.
detachable roofs. Build the troughs
from six 10 ten feet long, with the
sides FIVE inches high. The lath slats
are two inches apart, and the troughs
are sixteen inches high from floor to
roof The roofs project about two
inches at the sides and efectually
keep out the rain except when high
winds prevail. The roof Is very easily
removed by lifting one end and slid
ing II lengthwise. The trough can then
be filled and the roof drawn back
without lifting IT. This arrangement
saves the feed, keeping II in good con-
dition and avoiding waste. The trough
should be placed in a sheltered place
out OF reach OF the wind.

REMEDY FOR A BUNDLE FOOT
Trouble often Caused by High Roosts
or Frozen Ground-simpIe Treat
ment is Recommended.

Bumble foot is caused by bruise.
This may come from frozen ground,
or from flying down from a height
to a hard-surfaced floor. Often roosts
are entirely too high, and the force
with which the bird strikes the ground
Injuries the foot.
Whenever a bird is seen to be limp
ing, examine the bottom OF the foot.
II there is pus. make a cross on the
sole OF the foot, disinfect with any
household disinfectant, and apply a
soothing ointment. Bandage well,
and put the bird in coop on soft
litter.

Reason for Few Eoos.

Ono reason why eggs are not laid In

Sugar Prices and Canning.

1t is estimated that half the housewives
in the country have made up their mind
To can no fruit this season on account Of
the high price Of sugar. This decision has
been reached in a haphazard way. without
much logic or sense behind it, and it is
up to the retail trade to do a little mis-
sionaly work III favor Of home canning.
Most women use a maximum OF qua.-
ter to third Of a pound OF sugar in cacl
quart jar ot canned mutt. Now sugar j.
about three cents a pound above normal
ard, assuming that third Of pound is
,ts,ed in each quart jar, the additional cost
for canning brought about by the higl
price Of sugar *, at most, only one Gems
per quart jar
Few women analyze these figures They
merely say, III pounds OF sugar tor a dol
lar: can't afford to PIT up fruit ut
such prizes" and they let It 60 at that
Why not put in a canning window or
counter display? Prepare a card, showing
exactly what the advanced price Of sugar
| really means, and back il up with a dis
play Of flnit Jars and fruit for canning.

Uncle Sam Intends to Build Light.
house on Navassa Island, "No
Mans Land"

Because the Panama canal. when 1t
comes into it's own with the close OF
the European war, will refashfon the
trade routes of the world and lead an
endless procession of vessels through
waters hitherto unfrequented, the Uni
ted States government is preparing to
go afield and establish lighthouse on
Navassa island, small rocky islet of
the West Indies east of Haiti
The light will be unique, says the
Washington Star, in that it will be the
only one maintained by the United
States alone on land not a part of it's
national domain. The government is
not wholly without claim to the half
mile of rock that constitutes the
island. however, for a generation ago
guano deposits were exploited by an
American company, which found it a
mo mans land"
At that time the courts of the Uni
ted States assumed Jurisdiction when
murder was committed on the iso-
lated patch of rock, and brought the
murderer to book at Baltimore When
the need of a lighthouse on the island
was felt, therefore, it was not deemed
necessary to negotiate with any other
country, although several countries
have at times claimed ownership.
Congress appropriated S125,000 for
the erection Of the Navassa light and
the federal lighthouse bureau will
soon call for bids. The light will have
beam Of $4,000 candle power that
can be seen for q nautical miles.
There is one other lighthouse that
is in q way comparable to Navassa
This Is the light on Cape Spartel, the

I tar, which has been maintained since

I Britain, the United States, Morocco
