UNFAILING WAY OF
SPREADING DISEASE
Dirty Water Pan Is Menace to
Poultry FIock-vesseI Should
Be Cleaned Every Day.

How often do. you clean up the wa.
ter pans in your henhouse? You ought
to clean them every day. For dirty
water pan is the surest way of spread
ing disease throughout your flock.
The best way of handling water in
the poultry house is to keep it in a
cheap, fiat washbasin that can .be
easily cleaned and refilled. 1t always
pays to take care of water tanks.
You have to fill them, and the few min.
utes which you devote to each pan in
cleaning is not lost.
Place the open basin on a box some
8 or 10 inches shigh and perhaps is
inches square, and keep a runway for.
it. This keeps it from filling up
with dirt and straw from the floor ana
the hens do not climb into it in drink
ing.
Then put the box and basin in a
sunny corner of the house away from
the roosts and nests, so that no dirt
can fall into it from above.
Clean 1t and refill it with clean,
fresh water every day and yoh VIII
have put the disease germs to flight
indefinitely. ]

The reason farmers have not given
as full consideration to the woodlot
as 1t deserves is that they have not
had complete enough knowledge of the
market possibilities of various wood

and possible yields per acre Of prop

cies and ages, or that they have consid-

From the United States Department Of
Agricultural
A permanent woodlot Is an essential
part of well-equipped farm. In heav-
lily wooded states especially farmers
are likely to overlook this fact and
recklessly cut, misuse, or clear up
their forest areas. 1t does not occur
to them that 1t may be advisable to al
low thrifty, immature timber to ma
ture rather than to remove it at loss;
and that 1t Is often better to practice
intensive agriculture on areas already
cleared than to clear additional areas
which are in growing timber.
The one direct economic reason for
the use of land as woodlot is that on,
some areas timber Is the most profit
able crop that can be grown. This, of
course, is especially true Of poor and
rough land. Where all the land is
adaptable to more valuable crops the
woodlot should occupy only a small
part of the farm area.
Their are a great many indirect con-
siderations, however, which justify the
maintenance of a permanent woodlot
on the farm. The important ones,
number of which are usually active in
any particular case, are: 0) For con-
venience of home use for fuel, posts,
and other farm needs; (2) as wind
break for buildings or crops; (3) as
a shelter for stock; (4) for protection
of land from erosion; (5) to furnish
work for men and teams during spare
time; 10y for purely esthetlc reasons

CHAPTER XII
Bedlam

It was between two and three
o'clock in the afternoon Of the day in
which Mirapolis went placer mad
when word came to the reclamation
service headquarters that the power
was cut off and that there were no
longer men enough at the mixers and
on the forms to keep the work going
If the power should come on again.
Handley, the new fourth assistant,
brought the news, dropping heavily in
to chair and showing his hat to the
back Of his head to mop his scanned
and sun-browned face.
why the devil didn't you fellows
turn out?" he demanded savagely of
Leshington, Arson and Grislow, who
were lounging in the office and very
pointedly waiting for the lightning to
strike. "Gassman and / have done
everything but commit cold-blooded
murder to hold the men on the job.
Where's the boss?"
Nobody knew, and Grislow, at least,
was visibly disturbed at the question.
1t was Arson WHO seemed to have the
latest information about Brouillard.
"He came in about eleven o'clock,
rummaged for a minute or two in that
drawer you've got your foot on, Grizzly
and then went out again. Anybody
seen him since?"
There was a silence to answer the
query, and the. photographer righted
his chair abruptly and closed the
opened drawer he had been utilizing
for foot-rest. He had a long mem
DRY for trifles, and at the mention Of
the drawer a disquieting picture had
flashed itself upon the mental screen.
There were two figures in the picture,
Brouillard and himself, and Brouillard
was tossing the little buckskin sack
of gold nuggets into the drawer, where
1t had lain undisturbed ever since-un-
til now,
Moreover, Grislow's news of Brouil-
lard, If he had seen fit publish it,
was later than Anson's. At one o'clock,

Iananese Cotton Industry.

The export of cotton piece goods
from Japan has greatly increased
since the war, according to the British
consul at Osaka. The mills are re-
ported to have made a big profit in the
sale of shirtings and drills. From May,
1915, the. diminution in stocks in
Shanghai created a demand for Japa-
nese goods, which increased steadily
during the year. The mills, however,
adopting the view that prices would go
higher, showed no anxiety to push
sales. This attitude appears to have
been justified by results. It is reported
that at the beginning of 1916 the mills
were in the comfortable position of
having sold their output for six months
ahead, and there is general impress
sion that the position thus gained in
the cotton piece goods markets OF
China and India is one which will be
held.

TELLS ADVENTURE IN RHYME
English Airman Drops Into Poetry in
Describing PeriIous Trip Over
Enemy's Lines.

In place Of the colorless account of
an aerial voyage by one of the many
CHEEKY British pilots, the Times OF
London publishes the following with
the suggestion that cultivation of the
muse may be inspired by ones prox-
unity to higher things.
We quote a specimen of the pilots
poetic expression:
"The day was fine and the air was
still, and everything went well until
the Archibalds began to flash, and
deafen me with noisome crash. hid
my head, I stopped my ears In vain
attempts to calm my fears; whistled
every tune knew, and tried to think
it wasn't true. Then came a pause
we'd passed the zone; in fear ! fin
gered every bone.
"Then 10! a smile o'erspread my
face, for every bone was in it's place.
So things went on va ran our course,
and turned for home no whit the
worse, until three Hunlets on our stern
constrained US, like the worm, to turn.
Then bullets whizzed and bullets few
Gas bullets very often do), while pilots
showed their brilliant nerve with hawk
like swoop and 'orrid swerve.'

NOT MUCH MONEY IN POETRY
Prices Paid to Writers Have Not
Greatly Advanced With It's In
creasing Popularity.

In this day of revival OF poetry there
may be a natural curiosity to know
whether prices for poetry have gene
up in proportion to the apparent pop
ularity. Il am afraid not, remarks
writer in the Buffalo Express. Masters
did not get a cent for the magazine
publication of the Spoon river poems,
but he will get a few hundred dollars
royalty from the book, and since its
success / understand he has been paid
as much as 500 for a single poem by
a New York weekly. The usual price
is 81 a line, or $25 for a very short
poem. And the Spoon River Anthol-
ogy" is the most talked about book in
America today, either poetry or fiction.
The London Times paid Kipling $500
for the "Recessional,' and the same
for other poems at various times.
Walt Mason apparently is making
more money out of poetry than any
other man In America today. He
writes a poem every day in the year
for a newspaper syndicate, and in a
recent interview he says he is paid
So each on a yearly contract, which
Mr.. Howells in the Editors Easy Chair
figures out to be $3,578 or thereabouts
year. Mason says the most he ever
made in one month is 1915.
I It was Moore and Byron who got
the really big prices for poetry, in
the days when the public gave the hon
ors to long, storylike volumes, such as
'.Lalla Rookh," for which Moore re-
ceived 5000 guineas, or about $4,000.
Tennyson was said to have been paid
$4,000 a year by Moxon for his poetic
output, and James Whitcomb Riley
was offered $4,000 year for his. The
New York Ledger paid Longfellow

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEN
INSIST ON PROVISION FOR
THE FUTURE.
WAGE INCREASE is GRANTED
Employees Want Company to Put
Enough Hides in Watts to In
sure Payment for Long
Period in Advance.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS has the most un-
usual labor disturbance in it's history,
as $50 men at the Allen tannery
struck for an insurance on prosperity.
The men are the employees of the two
beam rooms of the plant.
They went out, making a demand
upon the managers for a new scale
providing increased wages for all the
men. This was granted after short
parley and the men returned to work.
The next morning they went out
again, demanding that the company
agree to put hides enough into the
watts to insure the payment of the in
creased wage for long period in adj
vance.
This the company refused to do,
holding that they could not take a
chance on future business that such a
course would demand.
Efforts were made to call out the
entire force of more than 1900 men,
but the other departments refused to
join in the strike.
