Minneapolis, Mimi, November 23.-
1917-Mr. w. J. Morehart, Chairman
Mankato, Mimi, Mr.. E. A. Upsen
Lake Crystal, Mimi. Mr.. Herbert G
Hotaling, Mapleton, Mimi. Gentlemen
All concerned in the handling of hard
coal are now facing very serious
condition and as l see it, there is but
one way to avoid suffering in your
community. Beginning with the OPP
orators and miners, stocks OF hard coa
are being distributed at about the same
rate as in 1916. Stocks being allotted
to the wholesalers in this fashion are
in turn being divided among the deal
ers and l feel that a warning at this
time should be given to the dealers
receiving hard coal, to the end thai
they may follow the same plan in dis
posing of such stocks as are shipped
them.
In other words, if the hard coal that
is shipped into the country is dis
tributed little to each customer, the
situation will be relieved, everybody
will be supplied with enough to take
care of this immediate needs, and
there will be no cases of suffering. On
the contrary, if the local dealers at
various points allow some of their
customers to take in their full winters
supply of coal at this time, they will
have nothing to distribute to their
other customers.
In this connection, must ask that
you instruct the dealers in your county
to confine the sale of hard coal to
those who have equipment not suited
to soft coal.
Consumers having furnaces or other
apparatus in which soft coal can be
used must help through the present
emergency by burning that grade un-
til such time as a sufficient supply OF
hard coal is available.
1t will require the hearty co-opera-
ton of everybody to handle the pres
ent situation. Please give the above
instructions full publicity through the
newspapers of your county. Yours
truly, J. F. MCGEE, federal fuel adj
ministrator for Minnesota.

BACK TO THE COUNTY JAIL
Lewis G. Singleton Shows No Dispo-
sition to Support His Wife.

SltiOH 10 Soppo'I ITO WIZ
Lewis G. Singleton whom Judge
Harry Johnson of the municipal
court has been endeavoring to induce
to do his duty in furnishing support
to his wife and child, was again be-
fore the court late Saturday after
noon. On November 6, Singleton was
required to furnish bond in the sum
of 5000 pledging him to pay So a
week for the support of his wife and
child for six months. In default OF
this he was sentenced to Jail until
the bond should be forthcoming, not
to exceed ninety days. Last Saturday
the wife told the Judge she thought
her husband was ready at last to go
to work and do what the court wished.
Singleton, however, appeared so in
different to the proposition of sup
porting his wife and child that the
Judge sent him back. 1t seems that the
man breads work more than the jail.

LET POULTRY HELP WIN WAR
Threatened Hunger Period May BE
Warded Of In Great Measure by
Attention to Chickens.

The hunger period which threatens
the United States and its allies In the
present war may be warded off, In part
at least, by attention to the lowly
chicken, says A. c. Smith, head Of the
poultry department of the Minnesota
College of Agriculture.
The lien is the only producing crea.
ture that can be profitably kept on
small areas such MS city and village
lots, that will transfer table waste into
a highly edible product. She selects
from waste material, bugs, weeds and
grasses a large part Of her living for
several months in the year., and dur
ing this time is usually a high pro.
Queer of very fertile eggs. She re-
produces her kind much more often
than any other productive animal.
She u be cared for by women and
children and often by inyalids and
convalescents.
Fol these reasons, Mr.. Smith urges
that every well-selected hatchable egg
should be set ut this season when eggs
are lower in price than at any other
time of the year.
Other poultry including ducks. geese,
and squads should also receive careful
attention In view of the present and
future food situation.

DISEASES OF TURKEYS
Fowls Are Subject to Same Trou-
bIes as Chickens.
s~Iackhead Is Most Destructive ALL
ment and Is First Indicated by
Sluogishness Of Gait-Plaee
Birds on Fresh Soil.

Turkeys are subject to the same
diseases as chickens, but to u much
Greater extent.
Blackhead, which prevails to n
slight degree in the chicken yard Is
Ia destructive turkey disease. Chick
enpox, canker and roup are treated
as for chickens.
Cape worms are treated by giving
camphor in the water, or busting a
little lime for the poults TO inhale
through a cheesecloth-coyered box.
This causes the birds to sneeze, and
so TO expel the worms.
Blackhead is first indicated by q
s~luggishness of gait. The poult does
mot look Ill, but Is slow in coming In (;
will llnger for an evening or two,
sauntering In Mt the end of the file of
stately birds. From tagging behind,
the affected bird drops out entirely,
and may be found standing with
dropped wings.
A slight yellowish-whlte discharge
about the vent indicates the dis
turbed condition of the liver. The
chances are, when a bird reaches this
condition, that 1t will give opportunity
for a pOst-mortem In another day.
This will show the tive blind pouches
of the intestines-the caeca, or "blind
CUTS" as they are commonly called
filed with a thick whitish discharge,
and covered with ulcers. The liver
will be spotted. covered with circular
yellow ulcers or depressions.
When blackhead is discovered In
a flock, the birds should be placed
on fresh ground, and great care tax
en- to prevent contamination Of the
water through the dropplngs. A dose
OF epson salts-from a scant tea
spoonful each to adult birds, to a tea
spoonful to every six poults-should
be given. Turpentine In mash, or
stirred through scalded wheat is a
good thing. Give a half pint In three
doses to 40 adult birds, on three c
cessive mornings. and follow with a
dose Of epson salts.
Give all the onions the birds will
eat-chopped onion tops. roots and
even onion tea. For Individual treat
ment. take one egg, n t~easpoonful Of
t%urpentine; beat well, and give a tea
spoonful Of the mixture night and
morning to a ponlt three months old.
half as much to a poult the size Of a

~turpentine and egg on a piece Of bread
and force down throat. Destroy the

PREPARE FOWLS FOR MARKET
Just - Important to Fatten Poultry az
u 10 to Fatten Beef Cattle
or Other Animals.

It Is Just as important to fatten
chickens sent to the market as 1t is
10 fatten hogs or beef cattle. In fact,
when the chicken comes from the
range 1t is in the proper condition to
put on economical gains. Students in
the poultry department Of the Uni
versity Of Missouri found in re-
cent tests that chickens will gain
about % per cent In ~ to IA days
feeding. That this gain Is economical
was shown by the fact that the grain
required to put on a pound Of gain
was approximately three and one-half
pounds.

CAUSE OF CHEEPING CHICKS
Either Head Lice or Too Much Grit
Before Feedino-Use Salty Grease
to Kill Pests.

When chicks stand and cheep, either
they have head lice or have had too
much grit before feeding aud are
passing sharp pieces in the excreta.
Investigation will show these chicks to
be bumped up, sleepy.eyed, sometimes
tilted back like unhappy kewpies.
Catch them, and the chances are that
head lice are boring into the little
heads, and gorging about the threats
Of the victims. Treat with salty
grease. melted and rubbed In well,
to prevent using too much. Too much
grease Will kill the chicks, especially
IL they are exposed to the hot sun.
Grease the head, throat, a bit under
each wing, and about the vent.
Give the hen a good treatment for
lice. When a chick gets out Of order,
lice multiply much faster on it. Many
cheeping chicks usually indicate m
