Insurance Revenue Increases.

Raleigh.-The report and recon-
mendations of Commissioner of Insur.
ance James r. Young to Governor
Beckett to be transmitted to the leg.
isIature was filed with the governor.
The report shows a steady increase
in the revenue of the department, the
increase averaging about $4,000 per
annum. The receipts this fiscal year
will be about $365,O0O.
The commissioner reports the build
ing inspection laws, fire marshal reg
ulations, fire escape statutes and 9th
er regulations for public safety work
ing we'll. He recommends that an
allowance be made for vigorous pros
ecutions of violators of the statute as
to investment and promotion com
panies as a protection to the people
of the state.
The commissioner recommends a
number of minor changes in the
states standard fire insurance policy
which he says will become the stand
ard policy for most if not all the
states of the union. He would have
the law as to changes in capital stock
and charities subject to approval by
the Insurance Department made to
apply to foreign companies where the
home state does not maintain like
regulation. There is recommendation
that whole family" insurance be al
lowed for fraternal insurance. He
recommends the enactment of a
workman's compensation law proper
ly safeguarded.
AS to building ard loan associas
tions, he recommends a more clear
statutory expression as to their an
nual licensing, with nominal fees
charged to be used in the expenses OF
the examinations. He would have an
additional deputy clerk to examine the
building and loan associations.
He reports the insurance value CT
state property to be about $7,OOO,OOO,
and that the allowance made for
nremiums on this insurance permits
on1v about 80 per cent insurance on
this property. There should be an IN
crease of $4,000 or $4,000. During
the mast year the state paid out Tor
insurance on state property $4,000
and received from the companies Tor
fire losses $4,000.

and near him, in the disguise of Bur-

HINTS ON POULTRY RAISING
Improper Housing and Food Causes
Laying to Fall on.

The Extension Service of the University
of Vermont and the Committee on Food
Production and Conservation Of the State
Public Safety committee offer the follow
ing poultry suggestions:
LAYERS.
Why do hens drop Off in midsummer?
Because they live in over-heated houses
at night and in sunbaked, bare yards dur
ing the day; because they are annoyed by
lice and mites: and because they are fed
too heavily Of heat-forming feeds, such
as corn, buckwheat, oil meals. etc. Over
heating can be overcome In a large meas
ure by providing open fronts to the coops,
with extra ventilation at the rear Of the
houses; and by supplying either natural
or artificial shade in the yards. Insect
pests can be eliminated by the free use of
a spray lone part crude carbolic acid to
three parts of kerosene) about the house,
by busting the hens with Persian insect
powder, or by the use individually of blue
ointment (unguentum hydrargrum). The
quarters should be cleaned weekly and
disinfected every three or four weeks.
Whitewash the houses occasionally and
plough the bare yards often. Incorrect
feeding pratices can be corrected. The
fowls should be given large pastures, fed
sprouted oats and slightly moist (cold)
mashes at noon. Even at the present high
prices, wheat which is one of the best
feeds for poultry can be fed profltably.
| DO not sell the entire flock. even though
grain prices are high Pick the "chafi
| from the wheat" Dispose Of the Gull
hens, the weak individuals and those not
intended for breeding purposes when In
| good flesh.
GROWING CHICKS.
The pullets should be kept growing
throughout the hot weather and the sur.
plus cockerels should be promptly market.
ed. Cockerels not large enough to sell ir
late July may be held over for sale as
fall roasters.
Cleanliness In and about the coops Is
vital need. Coops for the chicks, as vel
as for the hens. should be cleaned and dis
infected regularly. A good bi-weekly
spray keeps down lice and mites, Il
chicks are reared In small yards. tn,
ground should be turned OCCASIONALLY. Tn,
grass should never be eaten entirel,
down.
Chicks especially appreciate the protec
ton of some thick, well-ventilated shade
such as provided by cornfeld. by pines
spruces or fruit trees.
A plentiful supply Of fresh, cool waite
at all times is highly desirable Lat
chicks, especially those Matched in June
require extra care and feed. A dali
moist mash feed helps to bring Their
along.
Chicks of different ages should not b
allowed to run together. as the small one
never do well. Cockeres should Away
be kept separate from the pullets.
