DOLLAR SILVER IS
PROBABILITY NOW

Attributing the drop in the price Of
silver from $10S19 last week to Sat
urday's quotation of 965s cents to an
embargo on both gold and silver now
planned by the government, Frank
Manson, general manager of the West
ern Ore Purchasing Company, ex-
pressed the belief that silver will soar
upward again and will remain indef-
nitely at the dollar mark or better.
Just prior to the first sharp drop
in the price of silver" said Mr.. Man-
son, 1T became known among specu-
lators that the government proposed
an embargo on silver as well as gold.
The spectators began backing out
at this, and silver dropped. l am OF
the belief that this is the main reason
for the drop in the white metal.
while this will have a temporary
effect on the price of silver, it will
not interfere with the real demand
Conditions now will have the specu-
lation feature largely eliminated. and
the market will adjust itself to the
law of supply and demand.
"It is my belief that silver will climb
to the dollar mark or better, as the
real demand continues as strong as
ever. | have reason to believe that
the government figures on ratio OF
twenty to one, which is equivalent &C
dollar silver. ."-[Reno Gazette.

Bedbugs in the Poultry House.

The common bedbug sometimes in
tests the poultry house. 1t is not known
whether they bother the fowls or SIM
ply live on the filth about the house.
From observation / do not believe they
attack the birds. Nevertheless. they are
exceedingly undesirable and must be
eradicated. It is well known that they
carry disease. Creolin and formalde-
hyde sprays have never proved effective
against this pest. Formaldehyde gas is
only partly effective. since 1t never
seems to completely exterminate them.
The very best thing to fight this pest
is sulphur gas, made by burning flow
ers Of sulphur in pans. For every thou
sand cubic feet of air space three
pounds of sulphur should be used. Place
the sulphur in a pan and pour a little
wood alcohol or gasoline over it and
then light it. Only enough fluid to start
the fire is necessary. The sulphur makes
a very dense smoke. The operation
should be repeated at least once within
a few weeks.
The above methods are intended for
use where the pests have gotten the up
per hand. Under ordinary conditions
this would not be necessary. AS q pre-
ventive measure it is well to clean all
houses at least once a month. supplying
new nesting and floor material. At this
time the roosting quarters and nests
should be sprayed with a strong disin-
fectant. Two or three times year the
cracks about the roosts and nests
should be painted with a coal-tar solu-
ton. Then. once a year, in the fall. be-
fore the birds are shut up for the win
ter, the quarters should be fumigated
