TREATMENT FOR SCALY LEGS
Kerosene OIL and Lard VIII Destroy
MItes--AfflIcted Parts VIII
Soon Heal over.

Scaly leg In poultry is not serious
disease, although in some cases it
seems to reduce the vigor Of the bird
It Injuries the appearance Of flock
and is so easily cured that there is
little gained by allowing the disease
to exist in the flock. 1t is caused by a
mite which burrows under the scales,
and the irritation results in cells which
cause the crusty exudations. These
cells force the scales away from the
leg and give the bird rough appear
ance.
Equal parts Of kerosene oil and lard
rubbed on the legs will destroy the
mites and the afflicted parts will soon
be healed. Oil of caraway, one part,
and vasellne, five parts, is recon-
mended for quick cure and is de-
sirable for use when birds that are to
be sold or exhibited show signs Of the
scales. It is then best to assist the
oil by scrubbing off the dirty scales
with small stiff brush. An old tooth
brush is excellent for this use.

REDUCE ACREAGE OF COTTON
Not Practicable to Economically Main
tain Soil Fertility and Grow but
One Crop Year.

Our agricultural advisers as well
as our farmers seem to have com
pIetely lost sight of the true reason
for diverslfication and live stock pro
duction. To produce the food and feed
supplies of the farm Is an economic
necessity which no one seems to
doubt; but this Is not enough to build
up or maintain sound agricultural
system, because 1t is not enough to
build up and maintain soil fertility.
Until we begin teaching diversih-
cation as necessity for economical
soil building we shall make little
progress toward sound agriculture.
It is not practicable to economically
maintain soil fertility and grow one
crop year on the land and make
the crops cotton and food and feed
crops like corn, oats, wheat, potatoes,
etc. We must reduce the cotton acre
age because of the necessity for
growing legume soil-improving crops,
and because more cotton can be pro-
duced on less land when this is done

to its use because it is cold for the
cows to stand upon. This can be
overcome by placing boards over the
concrete or by using creosoted blocks
where the cows stand.
Cows should be curried before each
milking. Not only does this result in
cleaner milk, but experiments show
that cows properly curried will pro-
duce more milk. The skin is kept in
an open condition, which adds to the
animals comfort. Currying also acts
as a stimulant.
The mixers should be Clearly and
should milk with dry hands. Covered
milk pals must be used because they
present less surface into which dirt
particles can fall. After the milk is
drawn it should be cooled at once and
kept at low temperature until de-
livered.
Good dairymen never allow their
cows to stand out in the cold They
realize that it takes an extra amount
Of feed to keep the cows warm. 1t is
sometimes stated that close housing
impairs the health Of cows. This is
not the case when provision Is made
for proper ventilation Of the barn.

REER WORSE THAN WHISKY.

This is what the Home Life Insur-
ance company of New York has to say
about beer:
"Of all intoxicating drinks, 1t is the
most animalizlng 1t dulls the intel
lectual and moral and feeds the sens
ual and beastly nature. Beyond all
other drinks, 1t qualities for DELHI
crate and unprovoked crime. In this
respect 1t is much worse than distilled
liquors. A whisky drlnker win COM
init murder only under the direct ex-
element of liquor, a beer drinker is
capable Of doing 1t In cold blood.
Long observation has assured US that
large proportion Of murders DELHI
erately planned and executed, without
passion or malice, with no other mo-
tive than the acquisition Of property
or money, often or trifling value, are
perpetrated by beer drinkers"

Sunshine, fresh air, warmth, and
comfort are the main essentials Of a
sanitary dairy barn, asserts J. B.
Fitch, associate professor Of dairy
husbandry In the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college,
'Many farmers have the idea that
expensive barns and equipment are
necessary for the production of clean
milk. This is not the case" says
Professor Fitch. "There are many
cases where thousands of dollars are
invested for equipment and conditions
are ideal, but lack Of proper methods
and of cleanliness results in low quail
fly milk.
Farmers can install some type Of
swinging stanchions, cutters, and a
ventilating and lighting system at a
low cost. Almost any stable can be
remodeled into a good milking barn.
In building a dairy barn, one must
keep In mind the cheapness Of CON
struction and the ease of keeping both
the barn and the cows clean.
Proper construction of stalls and
cutters assists materially in keeping
the cows clean. The stalls should be
so constructed that they can be regu-
lated to the size Of the cows. This
can be accomplished by building the

CONSUMPTION 81 wHlskY.

CONSUMPTION OF WHISKY.
Because the report Of the internal
revenue commissioner shows an In
crease in the revenue from distilled
spirits the liquor interests are using
1t to bolster up their pet argument,
Prohibition does not prohibit"
The reason for this increase is
found, not in the greater consumption
Of whisky by the people of the United
States, but in various changing condi-
tons here and abroad. One of these
is set forth by the secretary Of the
treasury in the following statement:
Notwithstanding the spread Of pro-
hibition, collections on distilled spirits
for the first ten months Of the fiscal
year showed an increase over the cor
responding period of a year ago. This
is due In great measure to the effec.
tive enforcement of the internal rev.
enue tax on distilled spirits. 1t is
estimated that through the campaigns
Of the treasury department against
undergauglng, equalizing and blockad-
Ing in distlllerles, the revenue of the
government has been increased by
probably 100000 annually"
A further explanation is that the
large quantity Of spirits shipped from
this country to Africa to take the
place Of the British product now
barred from shipment because Of the
European war, is counted In the "in-
creased consumption" During the
year ending June 80, 1915, exports
amounted to 100000 gallons; during
the nine months, July, 1915, to March,
1915, 5,850,0O0 gallons were exported.
Then again there has been a steady
decrease in the supply Of imported
liquors due to difficulties Of transpor-
tation. Some Of the foreign distillers
have opened branches in this country,
and the taxes on their output are now
added to the internal revenue of the
United States.
Other reasons might be given, but
these suffice to show how alert the
liquorites are to seize upon any appar-
ent advantage furnished by figures and
how prone the public is to arrive at
hasty conclusions. 1t is not within
the province Of the internal revenue
department to interpret It's report or
to explain where or how the tax-paid
liquor Is actually used.
If the brewers and distillers believe
what they are loudly claiming, that
the internal revenue reports prove
that more liquor is sold under prohibit
ton than under license, we shall find
them this fall lining up with the drys;
we shall find them during the anti
election campaign working and spend
ing their millions to make six more
states and the territory of Alaska dry.
