KEEP POULTRY HOiSE CLEAN
Fatal Disease, Commonly Called
"Lungers," Can Be Prevented by
Attention to Quarters.

Many deaths among poultry, par
ticularly among chicks, come from
moldy feed and moldy litter in poul-
try houses. The mold when eaten by
the fowls causes a fatal disease COM
monty called "lungers" The fowl
stands in drowsy manner and
eats but little. The wings, droop,
breathing is quickened, and white
diarrheS Is present. Death is caused
directly by soft, yellow growths that
clog the air passages of the lungs.
There is no positive cure for the
ailment, but since ii is caused by
moldy feed and litters, II can be en-.
tirely prevented by keeping poultry
under sanitary conditions. This is
only one Of the many troubles aris.
ing from unclean conditions. Include
the chickenhouse in the spring clean.

The value OF these geese has dimin-

emains a profitable pursuit, provided
the conditions are suitable.
Only two breeds are bred to any
extent in this country, the Toulouse

largest OF these two varieties; in fact,
IL is the largest breed there is, but
II is rather slow grower. At time
when the Emden, the more rapidly
maturing variety. is fit for killing, tn,
Toulouse is tall and lanky and quite

BUTTERMILK GOOD FOR HENS

not lie so much in its food value as

MEANING OF POULTRY TERMS
PulIet Is Female Under One Yea
old-After Attaining Full Matu-
rity She Is Termed a Hen.

There seems TO be somewhat hazy
notion among amateurs as to the ex-
act meaning of the terms used to
designate young and old stock. A
pullet. strictly speaking, is a female
under one year old. After she has
attained her full maturity she is a
hen, but In the trade we speak OF
fowl as pullet until she has com
pleted her FIRST years laying. There
fore, 1t is correct to speak OF her as
q pullet until she is eighteen months
old, or has begun her FIRST mott, says

A cockerel is a male bird under one

ing purposes, you will get birds that
have been used for breeding. When
ordering pullets you will get females
that are under eighteen r,onths old,

A cockerel should never be used to
breed from before he is year old.
A pullet, IL she begins to lay at six
months, may be bred at nine months
OF age.

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton Win Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically

SO many rumors have been circu
lated regarding war taxation In
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
OF Finance. of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be Civ.
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits OF incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits of ,.,l'ucorporated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-cuarter to the Govern.
ment. Transportation companies,
banks. mining. milling, and other COM
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies, and COM
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollaIs capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged In asri.
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part OF this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro
posed is AN increase OF fifty cents a
barrel In the customs duty on apples,
and cne.half cent gallon in customs
duty or certain kinds OF oils.
II will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such a way that 1t
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree. except, perhaps, through a
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
OF the profits of the big firms and com.
panies with capital of over fifty thou
sand dollars, and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases,
and ten per cent in others, OF clear
profits before they have to pay any
part OF this taxation. II will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the

have been making big profits and are
able to pay It, and to encourage farm.

farmers and stock-raisers from the tax

rumor that the farmer or the farmers

MOST EFFECTIVE DUST BATH
Finely Screened Coal Asnes suffocate

Other Advantages.

Finely screened coal ashes make
the most effective sort of dust bath
for the hens. The fine dust penetrates
the fowls feathers. and, coming in
contact with lice serves to stop the
breathing passages OF these parasites,
causing them to suffocate and die.
Wood ashes are even better for this
purpose, because the particles OF dust
are finer; but here again the lime is
Objectionable, since II tends to take
the gloss of the plumage.
Coal ashes should be used freely on
the floors OF poultry buildings for they
will penetrate CRACKS and crevices, and
will assist in destroying mites and
other vermin. in dissipating noxious
odors and In improving conditions
generally. Still another advantage:
Large quantities OF the cinders will
be eaten by the birds as grit, and will
contribute some of the mineral nutri'
ents. Small bits OF coal will be eaten
also. and will be digested.
Dust removed from a road during
dry weather. which is only an annoy
ance to travellers, will be found benef
cial in the dust boxes. Every poultry
farm should have a supply on hand fol-
winter use; for. unless dirt floors are
used, these artificial means OF supply
