\ POULTRY POINTERS

Lice will affect fowls at this time Of
year when you have the impression It's
too cold. Use common coal oil on roost
and get rid Of them.
If the mother hen has scaly legs, the
chicks are mighty sure to contract the
disease. Use coal oil and grease on
their shanks freely.
A bronze tom when full matured
should weigh SO pounds, and If you get
that size, you have a large bird, al
though many exceed that weight.
If you want your poultry house to be
snug and warm, cover the walls early
with tarred paper on the inside. 1t will
last much longer on the inside.
See that your dropping boards are
all in their places, perfectly level, new
er slanting, and see that the young
fowls begin to take to roosts early.
Don't provide artificial heat for your
fowls If the weather should get bitter
cold, but have your house naturally
warm and sufficiently filled with fowls
to keep the room warm.
Earth floors are the best for poultry
If they can be kept dry; but If not,
then plank is the best, as cement or
brick cause disease of the foot, as 1t is
unyielding to the scratching Of the
fowls.
Always gather the eggs at noon and
at night when the weather Is cold,
otherwise you Will have heavy losses,
especially If you are catering to private
customers for the output Of your eggs.

WANTS PRISONERS
TG CUT WOOD
Administrator Hardy Tells the
Commissioners Means of
Increasing Fuel.

County Fuel Administrator Hardy
appeared before the board Of county
commissioners in session Monday
and urged that county prisoners be
used in chopping wood secured from
wooded sections Of the county for
sale TO city consumers at a mini
mum price. Mr.. Hardy suggested
that much timber that owners in
tend TO remove anyway in order TO
cultivate the land, could be purchas-
ed at reasonable prices and would
go far in relieving the present local
coal shortage situation. The COM
m.ssiOners looked upon the plan
favOrably and will probably take
definite action on the matter at an
early date Mr.. Hardy also urges
farmers who have timber on their
lands to cut IL into stove-wood and
place upon the market, as the price
they could get for such fuel would
amply repay them and at the same
time render a great service TO many
people Of the city. 1t is an Oppor-
tunity for the farmer, he said, that
should not be overlooked this win
ter.

MELLETT'S OFFER is
LIKELY TO BE ACCEPTED

Mayor Fred w. Keller stated
Monday that the common council
will probably concur with him in
favoring the proposition for the dis
posal of garbage as submitted by
Mayor J. II. Mellett of Anderson,
Ind, at a meeting not later than
Friday night. Mayor Keller says
that Mellett's plan is to take the
entire garbage production of South
Bend and pay the city more than
enough TO finance the collection Of
1t, which is costing the city approx
mately $4,000 annually.
The offer of f. A. Burrows of Chi
cago to build a plant near the city
and feed the garbage to hogs, enabl-
ing the city TO cooperate on a profit
sharing basis, does not at this time
appeal 10 South Bend. according to
the mayor. Inasmuch as Burrows
would have South Bend pay for the
collection and hauling of the gar
bage to the piggery, Mayor Keller
thinks that the city would incur
more expense than is now met an
nually by the taxpayers.
