POULTRY FREE FROM VERMIN
Every Man Who Is Endeavoring to
Establish Successful Business
Should Eradicate Insects.

Lice powders are best applied by
putting them into tin can having
perforated top, like a pepper box, but
with larger holes. A newspaper is
spread on the floor to catch the sur
plus powder, the hen is held by the
legs, head downward, so that the
feathers will loosen up and fall away
from the body, and then the powder
is busted thoroughly through the feath-
ers, especially under the tail and
wings and about the neck and head.
BY rubbing the feathers slightly with
the hand the powder will penetrate
and form a coating over the skin,
which is destructive to both lice and
mites. 1t is possible and practicable
to keep a flock of poultry absolutely
free from lice and mites, and this
should be the aim of everyone who Is
endeavoring to establish a successful
poultry industry.

SOIL SERVES AS A STOMACH
Expression available Plant Food" 10
Explained by Expert OF Mis-
souri, College.

Every reader Of farm paper must
have encountered frequently the ex-
preston available plant food" AS
defined by r. r. Hudelson of the Uni
versity of Missouri College Of Agrlcul-
ture, it means the plant food which
will readily dissolve In the soil water
so that the plant can take it up. In
the animal stomach there are certain
digestive fluids that dissolve the food
so that it can be absorbed into the
blood stream. The soil must serve as
a stomach for plants and as the plant
food dissolves in the soil water 1t is
absorbed into the plant juices and
moves up through the plant, where it
can be used. The extra water evapo-
rates from the leaves and moves up,
giving a constant circulation. From
this it can be seen that only dissolved
plant food can be used. Almost all
soil materials can be dissolved to a
slight extent, but often the rate of
dissolving is too slow.

PREVENT DISEASE OF STOCK
Many Places Where Parasites and
Germs Are Harbored---Danger In
Feeding Green Corn.

Proper cleaning OF the farm would
largely eliminate sickness Of stock.
Many persons think their place is
properly cleaned when in reality it
has dozens of places in the lots and
pastures which ard harbors for para
sites and disease germs.
There Is scarcely a vicinity, where
hogs are grown to any extent, that
has not some disease. The same dras-
tic measures that are used with foot
and-mouth disease, CHAMBERS, or any
other fatal stock disease should be
taken to free these vicinities from hog
cholera.
There are only very few herds
that are not infected more or less with
parasites. There Is much danger from
feeding green corn since it has a ma
tural tendency to lower the vitality Of
growing hogs.

of starchy material in some OF tho
stomachs is proof that the mole &C
casionally finds vegetable food, as GER
tain seed grains. softened by con-
tact with the moist SOIL an acceptable
addition to it's worm and insect diet.
Seed coats of corn, wheat, oats. and
peanuts have been identified In a few
stomachs.
Market for Skins.
Moleskins have found ready mar
ket in recent years owing to the grad
ually decreasing number Of wild fur
bearing animals. A new industry
amounting to many thousands Of dol
lars annually might be developed In
this country in the utilization Of mole
skins, the specialist believes. 1t Is not
feasible to attempt to breed moles for
their pelts, but farmers boys or 9th
ers may easily earn small profits by
capturing moles found damaging crops
or seriously interfering with garden
plants, cemeteries or lawns. In
formation regarding addresses Of firms
that will purchase moleskins, the care
of skins, and home tanning will be
furnished by the biological survey on
request.

New York-It Is the most natural |
thing In the world that the buoyancy,
optimism and remarkable rise in com
merce which have been brought about |
in. Paris by the men who wear our !
khaki should be reflected in the cos
tumery which the French designers are
Offering to the American buyers.
IT Is not overdone. so we hear. There
were enough American buyers in Paris
during the spring to forewarn the
French designers against making
clothes that incorporate military fea-
lures with which the American wom-
an is oyerfamiliar.
What is a surprise to the French is
an old, old story to us. They KNOW
nothing of the cowboy hat, the clay
colored flannel shirt rolling open in
front, the military jacket buttoned to
the chin and the West Point overcoat,
but we have known these from the be-
ginning. and we have not worn them
because they were part of the soil.
Paris, however, will reflect In her
new costumes just enough of our mill
tary uniforms to make them interest
Ing to us. Her only market today
comprises the two Americas and seq
ment Of England, and 1t is said that she
has combined the Spanish and the
North American effect In her clothes,
with only dash of Russian.
There will be an undoubted Spanish
influence this season. The reason for
this is not political, although Brazil
and Argentine have filled the French
dressmaking houses for decades with
their wealthiest customers. Their
sympathy today is very dear to Paris,
and whatever is dear to Paris comes
out in her clothes.
The Exhibition in Madrid.
The real reason, however, behind
the Spanish influence, is the warm well
come that Madrid gave to an early eN-
hibtion of Paris clothes. Paul Poiret
was there directing and suggesting,
and all the other important dressmak-
ers exhibited in this important neutral
country. Poiret, Worth and Lanvin
have been urging Spanish costumery
for two years, and this exhibition in
Madrid clinched the situation.
In exactly what manner the Spanish
costumery of several centuries will be
reflected in the new French clothes
we're not yet quite sure, but the Inn
mense rufus and elongated cuffs OF
white organdie and muslin which have
appeared on new bodices indicate thai
the portraits of Philip the Fourth ant
his contemporaries have already giveI
inspiration.
A Touch of Chinese.
Whenever we think of the Chimes
silhouette we begin first with the tight
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1917-09-28

ened hips, then go on to the narrow
hem and the slim but loose line above
the waist.
Now, this is the silhouette which
France has launched. A few of the
great designers sent word that the
new idea of the silhouette Is taken
from the Chinese, but others say it
is q return to the far East 1t is,
however, more Chinese than eastern
IN the fact that the hem is straight,
round and narrow.
The ordinary Chinese features in
dress have been seen in America for
year, and this continent is in re-
ceptive mood to receive the Chinese
silhouette. Anyone who does not re-
alize how Picking has influenced New
York should go to the theaters, where
Chinese girls In native costume serve
as ushers and where one act is sure
to be devoted to a Chinese episode.
One of the best-known model
houses has it's entire salon done In
faint blues and grays, and the visitors
are received by small girl in the bril-
liant Chinese costume that one sees on
a piece of lacquer.
If one determines the silhouette fol
the season, all other things come
more easily, and If one will just re

low because of small original holdings
and large export demands. This re-
suited in unusually high prices to pro-
ducers during the fall and winter of
1916. The supply was unexpectedly
heavy and large stocks were stored at
high costs. Then export demands fell
off, the wave of economy affected the
home demand, and the storage stocks
moved slowly. The net result, accord
ing to the department, is that almost
everybody ought to enjoy chicken dim
ners now at decidedly reduced prices.
and without feeling that they are
using up needed meat supplies. In
short, 1t is said to depend on the re-
tailers whether cheaper chickens will
be available.

prepared by the United States Depart
mcnt Of Agriculture)
The case against the garden mole Is
not clear-cut. The damage that it does
by burrowing in the soil and uprooting
plants Is somewhat offset by it's help
full habit of feeding upon insects and
in working the soil. A specialist in the
bureau of biological survey of the
United States department Of agricul
ture, who has made careful study OF
this underground explorer, concludes
that judgment against the mole may
be rendered when 1t actually invades
the lawn or garden-the overt act
but that no gene Al warfare against
an insect-eatin mammal should be en-
couraged. In Farmers Bulletin 583,
1.-THE Common Mole of Eastern United
States" report is made of investi-
cations in the life habits and meth
DDS of destroying this animal when
necessary.
Trapping is the most effective means
for putting an end to mole depreda-
tons. Although this bulletin cOnsid-
ers the common garden mole Of East
ern United States, to a great extent
the instructions for trapping it apply
to all American moles. Three general
types of traps--the harpoon, the scis-
sors-jaw, and the choker-are on the
market, and most of them give good
results. Specific instructions for
handling any particular make should
be obtainable from the manufacturer.

ORDER FRUIT CRATES EARLY
United States Department of Agricul-

Fruit growers are again being urged
by the United States department of
agriculture to place their orders for
fruit packages at the earliest possible
livery when needed. 1t seems that the
supply is likely to be scarce and the
price high. Shipments should be made
early as there is likely to be slow

non-perishable freight.
