III, for no apparent reason, there is
lack of thrift among your young
chicks, perhaps the cause is lice, or
worms in the intestines. Examine the
chicks about the head for head lice.
Lice are more likely to be present on
hen-raised chicks. If lice are found
grease the heads of the chicks with
lard which is free from salt. Do not
use lard and sulphur. Apply the lard
with the finger, rubbing the head,
neck, under the wings and around the
vent. The brooding hen should also
be treated. One of the best methods
of DISCRIMINATING lice on the mature
fowls is to rub piece OF blue ONT
ment, the size of pea, into the skin
just beneath the vent, and also under
each wing. Do not daub it on, but
rub it well into the skin, as blue ONT
ment is very poisonous and win kill
the hen if she gets, some of it into her
mouth.
If no lice are found, carefully exam

intestinal parasites, such as tape
worms or round worms. If worms of
any kind are found, the chicks should
be treated and removed to fresh
ground where there are no worms in
the soil. AS long as the chicks remain
on the old runs the danger of contain
ination is always present.
Treatment for Parasites.
To treat for intestinal parasites feed
should be withheld for II hours, and
one of the following remedies given:
Powdered areca nut, 80 to 45 grains
for an adult bird.
Powdered areca nut, Is grains for
immature chicks.
This can be mixed in wet mash
and fed SO that each gets an equal
amount. 1t can be fed to older birds
In capsules which can be forced down
the gullet.
Turpentine, one to three teaspoon
fuls, depending upon the age of the
bird, is also effective. It can be made
less severe by mixing with an equal
amount of cottonseed oil, but If inef-
fective, should be used full strength.

FOWLS RELISH GREEN STUFF
Mangeis, Cabbage and Turnips Are
Excellent for Hens-Potatoes
Good When Boiled.

Nearly all the common vegetables
are relished by fowls and they should
be fed at regular intervals. Mangels
are easy to raise and keep well. Cab
bage is a good food, the hens like it
and it does not flavor the egg. Tur-
nips are an excellent vegetable for
fowls when grown right, stored and
cooked. Rape is an excellent green
food to plant in the runs. Potatoes
are good only when boiled. AS a rule,
they are too expensive to feed to poul-
try. Onions, when they can be had,
are an excellent feed, and like lettuce,
are excellent for chicks. Silage may
be used, provided that only small
quantity is fed at first until the hens
become thoroughly accustomed to it.

INFLUENCE COLOR OF YoLKs
Sprouted Oats Are One Of Best Things
for That Purpose-They Also
Stimulate Egg Laying.

Color in the yolk of eggs is in
fluenced very largely by the green
food eaten, just as a yellow color in
butter is increased when the cows
have lots of grass. This is an item
in market requirements, for, while
some customers pay no attention tor
the color of the yolk, others want it
quite golden or think that something
is wrong. In the fall, when green
feed is scarce and the yolks are nat
urally pale, it may be profitable to
give more green feed to bring the
color back, as well as to help the fowls.
Sprouted oats form one of the best
feeds for this purpose, as well as to
stimulate laying and the general
health of the hen, but most kinds of
green feeds will have the same effect.
One poultryman thought that rape
might be a good green feed, but found
that it made the yolks almost black,
so tried it no more. Kale, though re-
lated to rape. does not act this way.

consideration. A great many designs
may be greatly benefited by building
the house upon terrace. AS rule,
the bungalow does not have place
in this group of designs, but there are
particular cases in which this general
rule will not hold. The experienced
architect may easily give the proper
proportions and correct slopes and
curves to a house to fit it for any posi-
The last determining factor which
controls the appearance of a house
from the standpoint of its position
is its distance from the street. Not
only is there a direct effect with re-
spect to this point, but there is also
an indirect effect of equal weight. The
extent and character of lawn between
the house and the street will deter
mine in what manner sidewalks will
be laid, vines and shrubs planted, and
various lawn decorations placed. A
house near the street does not admit
of an extensive plan for the lawn. In
fact, if an attempt is made to carry
out anything elaborate in the way of
lawn decoration the critical neighbors
are moved to express themselves, not
without some truth, in the remark,
"Overdone." On the other hand, a
deep, gracefully sloping lawn which
has been properly endowed with nat
ural beauty may be made to add a
great deal to the appearance of the
house by the addition of curving side
walks, arbors and little rustic bridges
or other decorations in keeping with
the house design. Bungalow designs
yield especially gratifying results from
this kind of lawn treatment. Origi-
mated where nature made easy the

it is an ideal bungalow home The
exterior arrangement is very attrac-

The exterior has many features that
will recommend it to the peMon who
wants a distinctive home. The porch
construction is particularly striking
There is Iotbing more attractive and
inviting than a low, broad porch roof,
especially if built in the form of an
arch, as in this case. The porch walls
and pillars are built Of stone and brick
distinctive in that a rough surface is
obtained by allowing irregular pieces
to project out from the surface. The

gable type, unusually well decorated
and proportional.

tail has some particular value. A par
I ticular feature of the front rooms of
the house is the lighting. To fit in
with the attractive appearance of the

FOWLS FOR EGG PRODUCTION
Fowls That Do Not Lay by Time of
Freezing Weather Usually Wait
Until Spring.
by c. 8. ANDERSON. Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins.)

by C. s. ANDERSON, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins.)
Are your pullets laying? Pullets
that do not begin to lay by the time
freezing weather sets in will usually
loss for several months. The average
poultryman cannot afford this loss if
he is raising poultry for egg produc-
ton.
Pullets of the Mediterranean breeds
Matched not later than May /, and
that have been reasonably well cared
for during the growing period will be
laying before early winter.
1t sometimes happens that force
of circumstances neceSsitates late
Matching, and it is these pullets that
must be pushed to get them ready
to lay in the fall.
Feed a ration of high protein con-
tent, including such feed as beef scrap,
bran, middlings and oil meal. If
skim milk or buttermilk is available, it
will be of value. Give the birds free
range whenever it is possible. If they
must be confined supplement their ra-
ton with some green feed, such as
sprouted oats, green alfalfa, beets,
cabbage, etc. Birds fed such feeds as
above, kept free from disease, lice
and mites, and given plenty of ex-
ercise will develop amazingly.
There is still some time before Sc
we're winter weather. Try forcing your
late puIlets and see the effect it will
have on the winter egg basket.

Most people who build home like
to have some feature in it's appearance
which distinguishes it from the ordi-
nary run of houses in the neighborhood.
OF course, the convenience of the room
arrangement must not be sacrificed,
but it is perfectly natural for per-
son to desire a home which will attract
the attention of the passerby.
The size and position of the lot up
on which the house is built will have
an effect upon the attractiveness of
the abode. For instance, the average
bungalow, If built upon a narrow lot,
will appear so crowded that attention
will be diverted from the attractiveness
of its design. Some types of construc-
ton will stand crowding without los
ing their effectiveness, but not so with
the bungalow.
The elevation Of the house with re-
spect to that of the sidewalk and
street is also a factor of important

The best method of giving turpentine
is by forcing it through small fiex-
ible catheter that has been oiled and
is passed through the throat into the
crop.
Good results have been reported also
with the use of tobacco dust, using five

the fall. This furnished green food in
the late fall and early spring and was
not charged against their feed bill.
In years time the fowls consumed
1858 pounds of grain and 962 pounds
of mash. The total cost of the feed
was $6627. In estimating this cost
the following prices per 100 pounds
were used: Wheat, $1.66; corn, $1.Wf
bran, $1.20; cornmeal, $1.75; shorts,
$40; and beef scraps, $3.25. These
prices are higher than the feed would
bring if sold by the farmer, but at
that the flock returned good profit.
They produced total of 8,057 eggs
at food cost of 10h cents dozen.
At the prevailing prices the eggs sold
for S15717, thus giving total profit
of $1,000.
AT an average price of 23.4 cents
dozen the hens returned profit of
dollar and half apiece above the cost
of feed. Even at an average price OF
20 cents dozen the hens doubled the
value of the feed.
They were fed as a scratch food a
mixture of two parts cracked corn and
one part wheat. The mash consisted
of equal parts of bran, shorts, corn
meal and beef scrap. Grit, oyster shell
and water were kept before the BIRDS
all the time.

bright and cheerful interior. This is

bright and cheerful interior. This IL
accomplished in good style in this de-
sign. A broad window opens to the
porch from the living room, and there
are also two smaller windows placed
on each side of the fireplace. Three
windows occupy most of the outside
wall space in the dining room.
The kitchen is small and compact and
arranged to reduce useless labor to a
minimum. 1t is made as bright and
well lighted as the rest of the house,
which is feature that will be appre-
ciated by all housewives. Three large
windows accomplish this purpose in
good style. The little serving pantry
between the dining room and the
kitchen forms valuable annex to the
kitchen and helps in reducing the
work in this part of the house. The
back porch will be appreciated in the
summer time, when it can be used as
part Of the kitchen
Two bedrooms are regularly pro-
vtded for and the thirt can be used
as den unless it Is wanted for the
accommodation of guests. Two, gen
orally, are all that are needed, but
this plan can be arranged So that the
den can be used, or the double sliding
doors can be left open and the den
really becomes part of the living
room. This room, the living room and
the dining room should be finished
in somewhat the same style, since the
wide openings between these rooms
make the arrangement seem like one
room, and an effect will be obtained
which is not harmonious if the rooms
are not finished in the same general
way. The dining room and the living
room really make one large room, as
the only thing separating them is
colonnade with bookcases in the lower
part of it on each side of the opening.
Living room and dining room equip
ment includes large fireplace and
buffet.
The back hall is q convenience that
is most necessary in a house of this
size. 1t insures privacy in all the
rooms and yet any part of the house
can be readily reached from any 9TH
er part. The dining room, kitchen,
basement, bathroom and the two bed
rooms all have doors opening into
this hail.
