since you need to borrow for yourself
you may think of the wife and kiddies

to go ahead, form your National Far

three to appraise all your farms. OF
course, a different committee must ap-
praise the three farms of that first
committee of appraisers, but that's
easy. What III an appraisal between
friends? You may think Bill Jones
has nerve to- expect his farm to be
appraised at $4,000 when it is only a
quarter section, and that southeast
quarter of the northeast quarter is
swampy and t1teocreek spoils the west

so Bill won't say a word about the

POULTRY NOTES.
Ready Cash at Hand.
Ito be continued. )

One of the problems that confronts
the farmer, even though he be mod
erately prosperous, is that Of secu1-
ing ready cash. The saiaried man u.s.
ually has more or less cash, though he
may not have much else. AS a means
of providing ready cash at all seasons
Of the year, the poultry yard, the when
properly managed, is, perhaps, the
most dependable. It involves little ex-
pense where the feed is produced on
the farm, and the return from poultry
and eggs is certain. There is today
an almost unlimited market for such
products, and there is no evidence
that the future demands will be less.
The essentials in raising poultry are
abundance of green feed, which can
be supplied the yea rround and using
only good productive stock.
Chicken lice breed principally on
setting hens, but a small amount of
work will save "old Biddy" much of
the annoyance. caused by them, and
she'll do better work.
Dust the setting hens three times,
or once a week, while setting, with in
sect powder, in a tub or box and then
place the hen in the box on her side.
Fill her feathers with the powder.
Grease baby chicks head with lard
or sweet oil or with blue ointment,
mixed with lard or vaseline, n part
of the former to five of the latter.
Good dust baths should be provided
for all setting hens.
Chicken mites breed in filth and lit
ter principally. Clean up all litter,
droppings and filth from around the
nests. Spray thoroughly all cracks,
crevices and roosting perches with a
good. disinfectant. Lime-sulphur is
one of the best sprays to use. Kero-
sene, whitewash or crude carbolic acid
are also recommended.
Paint all nests and roosts thorough

ly with some wood preservative, such
as creolin. These places when paint
ed with this material once a year are
seldom infested with mites.
Treatment For Broody Hens.
Do not torture a hen by the starva.
ton method when she becomes broody
is the advice Of Frank E. Mussehl, as
sistant in poultry husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Feed the hen plenty Of wholesome
food and give her all the cool, fresh
water that she will drink, and within
a few days she will be laying again.
Some persons treat the setting hen
as though she were possessed of evil
spirit. It is the maternal instinct
that causes her to quit laying and re-
main on the nest.
The hen should not be allowed to
remain on the nest a week or more
before starting to "break her up", as
that makes matters worse. The first
night that she is found on the nest
she should be removed to a broody
coop Of some sort. The most salts
factory broody coop is one that is well
ventilated and has a wove wire or
slat bottom. This style of coop will
not allow the hen to sit down and
warm the surface beneath her.
Hunt Up the Strays.
Along in July and August hens
steal their nests in out Of the way
places, and unless they are missed and
looked up may sit until frost comes.
Broodiness is a good rest for hens
that are laying, but solitary brood;-
ness in hot weather, when the eggs
are not highly fertile, and may all
spoil before Matching, is not good for
the hens. A good plan is to keep tai.
of the number of chickens in the flock.
and count them often enough to ward
off loss from prolonged sitting in open
quarters. The one advantage of a
flock of mixed chickens is that one
becomes familiar with the different
birds; in small flocks the owner knows
the hens faces as we'll as those of his
friends, and a tell if the Banty he.,
is away, if the feather-legged Rock
has stolen her nest, and whether or
not the black hen, with the top-knot.
the smooth-leggel Langshan, etc., are
all in for the night.
Hens that have strayed and been
killed, or died in the nest, are a men
ace to the rest of the flock; they be-
come infested with Nuggets, which
may give limberneck to the birds that
pick at their flesh, or evenptomaine
poisoning. The flock that is kept
rounded up, that is watched, and put
in condition for the winter, is going
to pay the owners bills; the owne.
must pay the bills for the flock which
is turned loose without supervision.
A chicken is a small animal, but the
per cent Of loss on chickens may be
as great as on horses or cattle, and
the per cent saved by care has just
the same purchasing power as none
earned.

HOW TO BORROW MONEY THRU
The NEW LAW-CO-OPERA-
TIONe HAS DIFFICULTIES AS
EXPLAINED 70 FARMER NED
BY HIS COUSIN BEN.

Washington, ID. C,sSept. 2, 1916.
Dear Cousin Ned
Your letter telling about the hog
cholera and the black rust is discour-
aging, and I admire your spunk in not
allowing your bad luck to give you
the blues.
/ wish I could confirm your high ex-
pectations about getting quick relief
out of the new Rural Credits Law. I
happen to know how that law works,
for I was a secretary, you know, of g
member Of the American Commission
which went to Europe to study this
question. I made the trip and attend
Led the Investigations. But theer W.
no such double-back-action fabbe1-'
gasted law as this in all Europe.
Don't let them stuff you with big
words about the Landscraft System
and the Raffeisen System. We have
neither; we have the Democratic Com
plicated Comglomeration nothing like
it anywhere else.
Of course we need a Rural Credit;
Law; this is the only civilized country
in the world that has not some such
provision for financing it's farmers.
But I am too well posted on the ;r
~tricacies Of this Hollis Law, passed bv
the Democrats this summer, to be
fooled by it. They can't sell me any
such q gold brick, and / see they
haven't fooled the Republican party,
for in its platform it declares:
I'VE favor an Effective system of
Rural Credits, as opposed to the Inef-
Nctive law proposed by the presen:
Democratic administration"
You know, Ned, I'm something of a
prophet and I have a vision about
this Hollis Rural Credits Law. Ill
tell you my vision now, so you car
file it, and year hence check up your
actual experience with what I tell YOU
now.
You expect to borrow through the
new Rural Credits Law and I'll ex-
plain it all to you in my vision. All
you need to do is this:
Tell your neighbor-farmers all
about your being hard up. Explain
to each one what you will do with the
money you want to borrow and con.
vince him that you are sane and know
how to farm as we'll as he does.
By talking over your need of put.

prevent him from forcing break
with the United States, according to
Indirect reports to the State depart
ment. There is a possibility that they
will succeed, it is said.
The entente agencies, it is under
stood are active particularly be-
cause they believe that it was Ger
man influence which sought to in
flame the Mexican government
against the United States to prevent
this country from gathering the
trade that the Germans formerly
controlled in Mexico, South and
Central America. They pointed out
that Carranza might avoid war by
calling for an international commits
sion as provided for by the treaty Of
1S4S. So far, Mexico has made no
such suggestion. Definite statements
that Carranza is doing all that Is
possible to protect Americans have
been received. Statements said he
had aided Special Agent Dodgers OF
Mexico City in arranging for trains
to carry refugees to Vera Cruz. Some
quarters consider this evidence that
he is not bent on provoking war.

him to leave. Newspaper correspond
