FARM DEPARTMENT
Poultry Department.

The chick, like man, enters a world
that is a fight from the time 1t
breathes its first air of the outside
world until IL reposes under the
shade of the old apple tree or sizzles
in the frying pan. The creatures
that walk the earth, those that infest
the air and the mighty insects that
sleep by day and work by night are
its sworn enemies, and happy and
fortunate is that chick that can es-
cape.
Then there are the lurking germs
of roup that no eye or microscope
can discern, and the pesky microbe
that spreads white diarrhoea in its
wake are ever visible and invisible,
escapable and unacceptable. Those
that we have more especially to deal
with are the unacceptable.
OF all the animals, we believe the
rate is the most exacting in its soil.
The best thing is to swat the rat. If
big cities can destroy this destructive
disease-carrying varmint, surely a
farm can rid itself of this pest. They
destroy millions of dollars worth of
feed stuff year, enough to feed
stricken Belgium.
One of the main essentials is to
construct the buildings rat proof.
The coops that house the little chicks
should be so constructed that the rat
cannot find its way into the roosting
quarters. Many off days can be used
around the farm in destroying the
living quarters and the rats that they
find about. The small dog is one of
the most efficient agents in the elm
ination of the rodent. Often times
the cat is as dangerous as the rat
and is so sly in the raids on the
chicks that goodly portion are gone
before the source of destruction is
realized.
Many of the creatures of the wild,
such as the hawk, the oppossum, the
crow, etc., take their share.

Arkansas farms do not have enou-
gh cows and the cows do not give
enough milk, partly because they do
not get enough of the right kind of
feed. A milk COW that is an "easy
keeper" is not profitable. A mill to
produce much -four must have much
wheat and less wheat means less
-four. Just so, less feed for the COW
will mean less milk. Let us have
more cows and then feed them more.
Plant Sudan grass, cowpeas, soy
beans and peanuts and then plan for
a little cotton seed meal. More feed,
more milk.
The Hartford republican., 1916-04-14
Sane Farming.

Why not adopt the above name in
stead of "safe farming?" A farmer
who has even a. small part of Gods
earth that will produce food ought
not to gamble" on the chance of
making money on another crop to
buy feed and food for his stock and
his family. 1t is a species of insanity
that has passed over the whole south
and parts of the west and compare
tive poverty is the result. Let US
raise more stuff for feed and feed
and be sane and more loyal to family
and community.

Worms.

Worms are the creatures that
work internally and cause havoc to
the young. The premises get infect
ed from the older birds. They are
said to be found in earth worms,
which come to the top of the soil
when the ground is moist, but find
their way back when the sun shines.
The best method to combat these
creatures is to keep the chickens up
until after the dew has dried up and
are sure that the worms have gone
back into the earth.
The young stock should not be
raised with the old stock and the
ground on which they are raised
should be continually freshened by
ploughing and growing crops. 1t is
almost impossible to disinfect premis-
es infested with worms.
There are intestinal worms that
line intestines and play havoc with
the birds. Epson salts fed in the
mash occasionally is good remedy.
Many times the legs of the chickens
are filled with scales and present an
unsightly appearance. The scales on
the legs rise and are filled with
chalky white substance. This is
caused by small parasites, not visible
to the naked eye, which burrow und-
er the scales and throw off this
chalky substance. The trouble is
contagious and it is best to eliminate
at once.
Cleanliness of the hen house is one
of the main essentials in the fight
against troubles of this character.
Continual spraying is necessary and
ample sunshine that streams to all
parts of the house are great aids in
the destruction of all forms of par
asites that prey upon the birds.
The birds legs should be soaked
in warm water and thoroughly disin-
fected with few drops of creolin
dropped into the water. The roost
place needs to be kept thoroughly dis
infected. You can follow this by
greasing the legs thoroughly with
carbolated vaseline or crude petro-
leum can be rubbed on them.
Raising chickens happens to be no
haphazard guessed at work. 1t takes
continual watchfulness to make
success of the work.
One of the greatest source of dis
ease is the dark and damp hen house
found on so many farms. Darkness
and dampness breed disease and in
sects. 1t takes mighty little work to
give a floor of sunshine to every part
of the building. 1t requires regularity
in the use of disinfectants and an oc-
casional overlooking of a few of the
birds to keep in touch with their con-
dition.

The Insect Pests,

Insects are more dangerous than
the enemies we have mentioned and
the certainty of success in their des-
truction is greater. They are des-
troyed by powders, liquids, grease
and fumes.
Some insects have lungs in the
side of their bodies. These breath
ing spaces can be filled with dust and
suffocate the lice. The old hen is
following the dictates of nature when
she wallows in the dust to rid her
body of lice. There are many lice
powders recommended for dusting
the hens to rid them of lice, especial
ly before they begin to set. There
are other methods that are more
effective that cannot be used previous
to the sitting time as the eggs might
be injured.
Rolla c. Lawry gives the following
formula for the making of lice pow
der, which can be used to combat the
lice. He recommends the use of
three quarts of gasoline to one quart
OF crude carbolic acid and sufficient
plaster of paris to absorb the liquid.
The mixture is spread upon a paper
and allowed to evaporate and after
wards put through a sieve in order
to screen out the particles too large
for use in dusting.
This powder is applied with can.
Make holes in the top of the can. The
louse is vicious creature; he bites,
sucking the blood of his victim, and
makes life miserable crawling from
one part of the birds body to the
other, for he is a constant traveller.
Their feet have claws that irritate
and certainly they make no fowl hap
pier or better fitted for egg produc-
.tion. Birds infested with lice have
a poor opportunity, and when little
chick time comes they infest them
and are not long in putting them out
of business. The lice can be seen
with the eye on top of the heads of
the little chick, and they use up the
vitality rapidly. 1t is easier to elimi-
nate them from the chick than from
the hen. A few drops of kerosene in
lard that is placed on top of the head |
will kill the creatures.
Lice have their incubator just |
under the vent of the hen in the soft |
downy feathers. There they deposit |
their eggs in great numbers.
There they deposit their eggs in great
numbers. They can be seen clinging
to the feathers in clusters. Here is
the point to get in the work of de-
struction. Something that will pois-
on the egg stops the increase. There
10 a mixture that can be made at
home that will do the work; it is
made as follows:
Mercury, Is parts; lard, so parts;
suet, 20 parts, and create of mercury
two parts. We have used this rene
dy with excellent results, and il the i
application is made several times
during the year the hens can be kept
almost entirely free of lice. In this
way you destroy the source. The
powder merely destroys the lice, and
II is difficult to get all of them with
powder. Keep the eggs destroyed
and you solve the problem.
In preparing the mixture the suet
is rendered and the lard melted. Be-
fore II hardens, but after cooling
some, the mercury and elate of mer-
curry is poured in and stirred until
The mixture becomes blue. :.

Training Children.

From the Columbus State Journal.
All the means provided for taking
care of imbeciles. criminals. detectives
and unfortunates generally are crowded
and there Is a demand for more room
and increased maintenance. The peo-
pie have this load on their shoulders
and they will have to bear ii. They
will have to do it through greater
taxation or through economies in
other directions. There is plenty of
room for it, but our unlettered democ-
racy seems opposed to economy. Like
the aristocracy. it rolls in wealth.
But there Is another way-a radical
down where these defects and mis-
fortunes originate. 1t begins with
the parents and with the training of
chfldren-it begins with courtship and
education. These sorrows. blights and
misfortunes that call upon us for help
today are largely the fruits of our own
neglect. Why have we pushed SO
vigorously for the education of the
sDirit-for building up the will. the
intuition and the better impulse ?
Simply to tighten this load of mis-
fortune that labor and enterprise have
to bear.
AS long as we pursue our present
methods OF education we are going to
crowd our infirmaries, our asylums and
our prisons. Developing the mate
