FARM
POULTRY
HOUSE FOR GROWING FOWLS
Structure Should BE Of Open Front
to Insure Fresh Air and Dryness
Through Ventilation.

The house accommodations for the
growing birds are very important
The house should, of course, be of the
open front type to insure fresh air
and dryness through good ventilation.
1t is very desirable to have the house
large enough and high enough for a
man to enter. This will guarantee
plenty of afr space and make it much
more convenient in cleaning or catch
ing the birds. 1t is also highly de-
sirable that the house be portable SO
that it may be moved about. In this
way the young fowls can be isolated
from the older stock, which is a desir-
able plan. The birds can then be
moved out on pasture, stubble field
or orchard, and thus have the ad-
vantage of clean ground where they
will not be so liable to contract dis
ease which might be among the old
flock or on the ground occupied by it..
Then, too, the young stock is inter-
fered with considerably at feeding
time and do not have fair chance if
larger fowls are about.
If colony laying houses are used on
the farm, these same houses, If por-
table, can be used for the growing
chickens. Or, good growing colony
house could be built 6xS feet in size
with an ordinary shed roof and open
front. This house could be used later
as a laying house to accommodate
about twenty hens.

TURNING EGGS IN INCUBATOR
Dozen or More Rolled over at Single
Operation by Means of Device
Just Recently Invented.

One of the many little tasks which
must be looked after with more or
less regularity in the Matching of
chickens in the incubator, is the turn
ing over of the eggs and upon this
depends to a great measure the sue
cess of the Matching. The eggs must
be turned over regularly, carefully and
with great consideration for the feel
ings of the chick which may or may
not be inside. If the operation is in
sufficiently done it is Just as disas-
trous as when it is overdone. 1t must
be done just right. If the operator is
in undue haste the chances are that a
whole batch Of prospective chicks will
show their resentment of the harsh
treatment by dying in the shell.
A recent invention provides for the
performance of this operation in the

The nymphs foated along beside the
shells, and the fish swan like mad
creatures through the water, the
fairies clinging to the shells and ev-
cry minute expecting to be thrown
out.
Suddenly they saw right in their
path big chariot drawn by dolphins,
| and all around it were mermaids blow
ing water from shell horns, and the
moonlight falling upon the stream
made them look like silver. The
nymphs drew back for they knew it
was Father Neptune, and they knew
also that they had left the river and
were in the ocean, where they had no
right to be. They were so intent upon
Furnishing the fairies that they had
sailed into the ocean without knowing
it.
What are you doing here without
my permission?" asked Neptune. The
nymphs hung their heads.
"And who are these little crea-
tures?" he asked.
Please, sir, we are the fairies" said
one. And then she told him how they
were sailing on the river and the
nymphs caught them.
"And we are so frightened said
another, "and our wings and pretty
dresses are wet and our queen will be
angry"
"she may take away our wands,"
said another, and they all began to
cry.
"Oh, do not cry" said Neptune, put
ting his hands over his ears, "do stop,
and / will try to help you. Why, see
here" he said, why do you not use
your wands?"
I'VE thought we couldn't on the wa
ter" said one fairy.
"Of course you can" said Neptune;
touch the shells and see what hap
pens"
Presto, there was an island with a
fairy standing on it.
''Now reach out with your wands
and bring the islands together in a
large one. There you are On dry land"
said Neptune; now run about and dry
your wings and clothes" Neptune
next called the nymphs around him
and told them he would forgive them
for coming to the ocean without per-
mission if they would forgive the
fairies and take them safely home
The nymphs gladly agreed to this,
and soon they had large shells for the
fairies to sit in. 81 shall leave this
island" said Neptune. 1--WE will call
it fairy island, and when you see this
you will remember you are beyond
your rivers limit. And you and the
fairies must be good friends also"
They all promised to be on friendly
terms after this, and the fairies, whose
wings and dresses were dry and
looked dainty again, took their seats
In the shells. The nymphs drew them
along and by the time they reached
the woods where the fairies were to
get out they were good friends. And
now, on q moonlight night, you might
see at certain hour the fairies enjoy
ing sail with the nymphs beside
them.

CITY VERSUS COUNTRY BOYS
Prizes Of City Life Hold No Allure
ments for Metropolitan Lad
Not Worth Striving For.

Speaking of the curious fact that
city boys seem to have greater phys
ical stamina than country boys, there
is also the Civil war tradition that it
was the city boys who stood priva-
tions, long marches and other physical
strains better than the country boys.
What makes the country boy out
strip his city competitor must be his
ambition to win the prizes of city
life which dangle so alluringly before
his eyes, whereas to the familiar vi
sion Of the city boy they appear as
mere matters of course, hardly worth
having and certainly not worth ex-
ceeding strife and self-sacrifce.

wAGIN6 WAR ON JAckRABBI1s
Successful Campaign Against the Pests
At the Bliss Ranches in Humboldt
County

Winnemucca Star: F. j. Button,
manager of the Bliss ranches, is in
town to spend Thanksgiving with his
family. He states that he has start
ed war of determination on the
jackrabbits that infest their ranches
and is making big success of the
undertaking. Since starting the
campaign some weeks ago Mr.. But
ton says that at the Bullhead and
North Fork ranches in the northeast
ern part of the county they have ex-
terminated about 800 rabbits. The
animals infest the alfalfa haystack
yards and it is at these places that
the largest number of the pests have
been killed. The work of extermi-
nation is being done with the aid of
a Government man and their princi-
pa! plan is to trap them. A wire
netting is stretched around stack
yard, leaving places where the rab-
bits can enter. This entrance is so
constructed that the rabbits can go
in, but cannot get out. After their
capture the little animals are killed
with pitchforks or clubs.
Mr.. Button said that besides the
traps, poison is being used with good
effect and that many of the pests are
being killed in this way.
In speaking of the rabbit situation,
Mr.. Button says that the ranches are
overrun with them and that large
quantities of alfalfa hay is consumed
each year by these rodents.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Believes Prices VIII Drop

Believes Prices WI Drop
Goldfield Tribune: Let no one
dream that the present high prices
are going to be continuous. 1t is
only a question of time when the
drop will come. The wise man is the
man who so lives and conducts his
affairs that he will be prepared to
drop with them. He is foolish man
who goes on thinking that prices are
going to keep on going up. They
are going to do nothing of the kind.
Some of the increases are so riidcu-
lous that the wonder is that they can
last over night. Marking up prices
has become sort of mania and it is
probably true that there are no rea-
sons at all for many of the advances.

LET US Be THANKFUL FOR PEACE

Tonopah Times: Our boys of II
and 1S years of age. are. for the most
part. going about their school and
play. Some of them, less fortunate,
must work to support themselves and
others, but most of these labor in
safety and comfort. That is peace.
How different it all is in Europe.
Germany is preparing to send her IT.
year-old boys to the front. In France
the Youngsters have also been called
from their books to face the trenches
somewhere along theslorthern front.
Great Britain also is calling a younger
class, admitting youths of eighteen
to do her fighting. Russia, with
more men available, may shield her
youth little longer.
And they will fight well. these
youngsters who were boys at their
play when the fighting began before
Liege. Two years and the needs of
their nations have made them men or
better, for youth is the natural ad-
venturer. Our own Civil war saw
many boys even younger than those
listed here in the ranks. and the
world remembers how well they
played their part. Eoys make DASH
ing soldiers, ready to follow or lead
in any forlorn hope. eager to contest
for every advantage. They may lack
something. but little, of the endur-
ance of older men, but this they off
set in quicker powers of recuperation
and more ready adaptability to all
conditions.
But, while boys may decide the
war in Europe, how pitiful and de-
plorable it is that the flower of ma
tons manhood must pour out its
blood in contest it had no part in
making, and which even now it does
not understand. Except for the err
rors of their elders. those boys would
meet, if at all, only in friendly con-
tests of good sportsmanship; but now.
at an impressionable age. they have
instilled in the fibre of being all the
lusts and hatreds of war, and war
shall claim many of their lives, leave
many of them crippled and broken
in health at time when life should
be at it's best. That is war, and if a
nation has nothing but peace it should
still be grateful for that.

Ely Merchants Form Association


For several months past Ely
merchants have been contemplating
the formation of credit association
and have finally perfected a perma-
nent organization under the name of
the Nevada Credit association.
The purpose of the association is
to protect its members from loss
through the extension of credit to
persons who neglect or refuse to pay
bills. 1t is thought that it will ma
terially reduce the cost of living by
being in a position to protect the
community from many abuses which
cannot be remedied without such an
organization.

ALCOHOL FOR AUTOMOBILES
Ford Says It Can Be Produced
Chesply from Inexhaustible
Supply Of Raw Materials

Though Henry Ford may be vision
ary in some matters, when it comes
to gas engines and gas-engine fuel
his opinions are received with uni
versal respect. His latest pronunci-
amento, which happens to deal with
commercial alcohol. may prove to be
of vast economic importance.
As result of neutrality-suspicious.
performed in his laboratory. Mr..
Ford announces as a demonstrable
fact something that has heretofore
been thought of merely as a theoreti-
cal possibility-that alcohol may
be profitably used as a substitute for
gasoline. He finds that it will not
only do the work of gasoline in auto
mobiles and other internal combus-
ton engines. but that it can be pro-
duced easily and cheaply, and that
the raw materials are inexhaustible.
We can make gas-engine fuel out of
the stuff we are throwing away, es-
pecially from canneries and sugar
factories and farms. He finds that
cornstocks are excellent material,
and an acre of the stalks will make
100 gallons or more Of alcohol.
Beets, potatoes, carrots, turnips,
sugar cane, ETC., are rich in alcohol.
He sees great possibilities in the in
PRODUCTION of a certain large. juicy
German potato, which is not good to
eat but which produces a surprising
amount of alcohol.
Experts say that alcohol has less
power per gallon than gasoline. But
that disadvantage is probably bal
anced by its being safer to handle
and less offensive in odor. and if it
can be developed as substitute any
where near equal in value to gaso-
line, it will be an incalcuable boon.
For the worlds supply of petroleum.
and therefore of gasoline, is plainly
limited. The maximum output seems
to have been reached. and a rapid
decline is feared. There must be a
substitute. if civilization is not to
lose the use of the gas-engine, the
most useful and efficient engine yet
produced by man.
Incidentally. Mr.. Ford announce
ment has an important bearing on
the liquor traffic. Speaking to the
brewers of his State, Immediately
after it had voted to join the dry"
column. he assured them that they
could adapt their breweries. with
very slight changes, to the manufac-
ture Of commercial alcohol. If that
proves to be true. and if the alcohol
can really be produced at prices that
make it popular substitute for gas
oline, there will be nc, need of scrap
