Within a few minutes Tom Lee
looked somewhat more respectable in
a holncspun suit, worn but whole and
yellowe0 prototype of the great
straw hat the farmer wore. He was
given d. good meal In the kitchen, fur

Reuben commended him approvingly.

"Ah, there's Nellie, my daughter. Been
visiting since yesterday. Put up the
rig, will yuu?"
Ten Lee braced himself and stood
like statue at the hitching block
as a young lady drove into the yard,
and, wnving her hand gayly to her
father. rounded the house and came
to the barn. She alighted graceful as
some ovnIph, then stood rooted, star

at Tom Lee.
"You?' she gasped. and her face be-

Tom simply bowed. He had folded
his arms and stood like a man await

Old Reuben was coming towards
her now and the brief colloquy was
suspended.
Tom Lee did not seek to meet Nellie
Waite again. He went about his work
eteadily. II old Reuben Waite had
been watchful, however, he would

main on the old runs the danger OF
contamination is always present.
To treat for intestinal parasites
feed should be withheld for IL hours,
and one of the following remedies
given:
Powdered areca nut, 30 to As grains
for an adult bird; powdered areca nut,
Is grains for immature chicks.
This can be mixed in a wet mash
and fed so that each gets an equal
amount. 1t can be fed to older birds
in capsules which can be forced down
the gullet.
Turpentine, sone to three teaspoon
fuls, depending upon the age of the
bird, is also effective. 1t can be made
less severe by mixing with an equal
amount of cottonseed oil, but If inef-
fective, should be used full strength.
The best method of giving turpentine
is by forcing it through a small f1ex-
ible catheter that has been oiled and
is passed through the throat into the
crop.
Good results have been reported also
with the use of tobacco dust, using
five to ten grains to bird. This can
also be fed in wet mash.
The droppings containing the worms
should be burned or buried deep to
prevent the chicks from picking them
up.

TASK OF SHEDDING FEATHERS
Heavy Drain on Constitution of Fowl
Can Be Aided by Feeding High
Iy Protein Foods.

The shedding of feathers is heavy
drain on the constitution of the fowl
because it is necessary to manufacture
new coat. The making of new
feathers can be greatly aided by feed
ing highly protein or meat foods. The
ordinary grains like wheat, corn and
oats do not contain enough protein.
Meat scraps from the house or COM
mercial beef scraps are necessary if
best results are to be obtained. If
fowl is thoroughly chilled and thereby
weakened by late melting during cold
weather, she will find it difficult to
recuperate until late winter or early
spring. BY giving her extra care she
can be started laying much earlier in
the winter.

If, for no apparent reason, there is
lack of thrift among your young
chicks, perhaps the cause is lice, or
worms in the intestines. Examine the
chicks about the head for head lice
Lice are more likely to be present on
hen-raised chicks. If lice are found
grease the heads of the chicks with
lard which is free from salt. Do not
use lard and sulphur. Apply the lard
with the finger, rubbing the head,
neck, under the wings, and around the
vent. The brooding hen should also
be treated. One of the best methods
of exterminating lice on the mature
fowls is to rub a piece of blue ONT
ment, the size Of a pea, into the skin
just beneath the vent, and also under
each wing. Do not daub it on, but
rub it well into the skin, as blue ONT
ment Is very poisonous and will kill
the hen If she gets some of it into her
mouth.
If no lice are found, carefully ex-
anime the intestines of a dead chick
for intestinal parasites, such as tape
worms or round worms. If worms of
any kind are found, the chicks should
be treated and removed to fresh
ground where there are no worms In
the soil. AS long as the chicks re-

Dust anything to do with the Dust

Yes, 1T has everything to do with
them. For all the Dust in the world
belongs to the Family of the Dust
Brothers-just as every little Toad
or Frog belongs to the Toad or Frog

thought was very nice. Some Of them
had chosen to hide behind Pictures.
and under Chairs, and on the Glass
Mirrors. The ones who hid on the
Glass Mirrors thought they would
have lots of fun because Folks could
not see themselves so plainly-and
then they would see the Newcomers
to the Mirrors. Not, of course. that
1T was the first time any of them had
ever made Mirrors their Home-but
they hadn't been back since the last
busting day.
THE best Friend of the Dust Broth
ers when they are wide awake is old
Mr.. Sun. Then they can all be seen
by the Lady of the House and what
fun it is for them to be scolded at and
to dash off againf-only to come back
whenever they feel like it.
when they have moved to a new
Home and are tired and sleepy the
dark Clouds are their Friends, and
Mr.. Rain; for then it is so dark they
can't be seen and they have a good
old Sleep.
"But yesterday when the Dust
Brothers were having such a frolic
1t was beautiful Day. Mr.. Sun had
just decided it was getting up time
and he had dressed slowly and with
great care so he would look very fine
and stylish.
AS he was ready to peep in the
Windows to see what was going on
he saw lot of little Gnomes perched
all around talking to the Dust Broth
ers.
"'Why is it, asked Peter Gnome,
that you are so anxious to live where
you know yOu'n be sent away again?
Why don't you choose some Home

Specializing on Programs
By J. E. KIRK, Manager Pathe Exchange. Omaha.

These publications were printing
continued stories. The reading public
subscribed by the year, or bought the
magazine every week or month at the
newsstand in order to follow the
story. .(
This idea was carried out In motion
pictures and proved an immediate sue
cess, Today the serial story as told
on the screen is more popular than
ever. The program is completed BY
adding a picked comedy and a reel
showitI, current events and news in
which everyone is interested, and we
have one of the best entertainments
possible to secure. ..a5 :
Then the producers began to buy
the rights on certain we'll known
books, such as Les Miserabies and
Quo Vadis. These were released as
multiple reel productions and met in
slant favor with the public. Now the
theater manager-can survey his COM
nunity and give the people Just what
they ask for. This is not as easy as
it sounds, but his profits are in pro-
portion to his ability to pick a pro-
gram that will please his average au-
diencc.
Good features, laughabie comedies,
beautiful scenics and interesting serial
stories are made In abundance, but the
poor ones are still more abundant.
Then let us take our hats off to the
theater manager, who Is able by hard
work and diplomacy to secure a pro-
gram. seven times a week which is
pleasing to his audience. -
