economic needs, and there are many
plans on foot to OBTAIN ut the earliest
possible time at least two million
negroes from the south to do such
work AS indicated above, and also 10
help out on northern farms, to the
point of cultivating even more land
than usual, this being pointed oct as
a means of meeting the high cost Of
living.
Primarily the exodus is caused by
the destruction of the cotton crops by
the Mexican boil weevil and particu-
larly last year by the July floods,
causing in their wake suffering and
near famine not known in the south
even in the days Of the Civil war. But
back Of this all negroes have grown
alarmed at mob violence, injustices in
the course; while many negroes bear
with grief the farm segregation move
ment, Acknowledgement, discrimina-
tory travelling facilities and laws like
that of Florida, prohibiting whites
from teaching negroes.
BETTER OFF IN SOUTH.
II am opposed, however, to con.
tinuation of the wholesale moving
from the south, such as has been the
case within the last six months. This
movement should at once take on a
mild and common sense form, for
the south still offers the best oppor-
tunity to a young race to become per-
manently fixed in the soil which can
easily be bought, and thus become a
taxpaying, indispensable asset to the
whole country; nor is the South able
to dispense with much more Of its
labor element. Indeed, an industrial
calamity in the South would certainly
follow a continuation Of this rush to
the north. b..
1.-THE north is cold both in weather
and in thought, and the great mass of
negroes who have had almost no op-
portunity in training and education is,
barring mob violence and injustice in
the courts, many times better off in
the south, where there is absolutely
no color prejudice. ~ly
''The class OF negroes coming north
ranks second in grade OF labor, as
the best workers in the south have
made good in spite of handicaps, and
have property which they cannot
readily abandon any more than the
whites. p

The, appearance of a frame house
is largely dependent upon the type
iof siding material used and also in the
color and character Of it's treatment,
whether paint or stain. Certain Of
the house types commonly used call
for definite scheme of wall finish,
at least as far as the width of expo
sure of the siding boards or courses is
concerned. An example of this is
found in the Dutch Colonial and other
Colonial types on which structures
the wide exposure, whether siding
boards or shingles are used, has come
to be practically universal.
Combinations of the different widths
Of exposure, the rough and the smooth
clapboards and shingles finished with
a harmonizing color scheme-all parts
not being of the same color of ne
cessity although there is danger in
using more than two colors on the ex-
terror of the house-have a definite
place On structures not having the
style of siding established by prece-
dent. The house shown in the Illus

LICE ON SITTING HENS
Methods for Freeing Fowls and
Nests of All Vermin.
infested Quarters Should Be Treated
Thoroughly Before Fowls Are
Placed on Eggs - Remove
Broken Eggs and Straw.

From the United States Department of
Agricultural
Great care should be taken to keep
nests occupied by sitting hens free
from mites. 1t is hard to work eff
fectively against the mites when many
hens are brooding. Oil in the form
of crude petroleum sprays-the treat
ment recommended by. specialists in
the United States department of agri-
cultural-used freely about the house
at that time, may soil the eggs and
prevent successful Matching. Infested
quarters, therefore, should be treated
thoroughly before hens are set, so as
to start them in nests which are absO-
Iutely clean. Beneath the straw of
the, nest layer of lime and sulphur
will tend to prevent mite breeding,
and the entire nest may be busted oc-
casionally with pyrethrum. Broken
eggs and the straw soiled by them
should be removed promptly, as they
tend to attract mites.
Medicated nest eggs, said to control
poultry lice, are on the market. These
consist largely of naphthalene. While
this material will destroy lice when
applied generally to the fowl it is in
furious to the hens eggs as well as
to the bird. IF used in quantity, or
If the medicated eggs are allowed to
remain for some time beneath a hen,
she may die as a result. Sodium
1uorid powder, busted on the fowl,
or dissolved in water and used as a
dip, is the best remedy for lice. Farm
ers' bulletin 8O1, 'Mites and Lice on
Poultry" by f.. G. Bishop and FL. P.
Wood, gives detailed directions for
administering this treatment.

PROVIDE WATER FOR. CHICKS
Inverted Quart Bottle, Supported With
Wire and Mouth Placed in Pan
Is Satisfactory.


Little chicks as. well as big, should
at all times have access to plenty Of
good fresh water, says one writer.
Where it is placed before them in
pan the old hen. is apt to step on it
and spill all the water. Then, too
the chicks will soon either drink it
out or the sun will make it dry.
The plan that have found salts
factory is not original with me, but I
have used it a good many years with
success. 1t consists in attaching two,
strips of tin Or wire to the coop in
such way as to support aNquart bot
tie upside down with the mouth of
the bottle resting inside the pan and
about a half-inch from the bottom.
Supported in this way the bottle is
easily removed for filling. When filed.
and placed in position the water will
feed down only as fast as the water
in the pan is taken out. This makes
a sort of fountain, and in the summer
time the water will be kept fairly COOL
if the bottle is kept in the shade.

PROPER ADJUSTMENT FOR INCUBATOR

Incubation is the problem confront
ing most people who raise poultry at
present, and perhaps some are contem-
plating changing their system of
Matching. Some have been attracted
by the lure of the incubator and many
perhaps are disguised with last years
results. 1t is generally conceded that
natural incubation produces stronger
chicks than artificial, but the whims of
the hen and attention necessary to her
care make more people turn to artifi-
cial methods, and as result great
numbers of Incubator chickens are
produced each year. In Egypt it is
said that the hen is losing some of
her maternal instincts because of not
being permitted to set. Artificial in
cubation has come to be recognized as
an economic necessity. Many farms
have adopted the combination of hatch
ing with incubators and brooding with
hens, while others abandon entirely
the use of the hens as either hatchers
or brooders.
Follow Directions.
There is great difference between
incubators. Different makes require
different treatment All incubators

SPREAD OF WHITE DIARRHEA
Germs of AiIment Carried in Bodies
of Fowls Throughout Their Lives
Harmless to Man.

Fowls which have recovered from
bacillary white diarrhea may carry
the germs in their bodies throughout
their whole life. In the case of hens,
some eggs will be infected and some
will not. It is utterly impossible to
ascertain which eggs are free and
which are infected, so no eggs from
an infected hen should ever be used
for Matching. These disease germs
are perfectly harmless to human be-
ings, so that both the meat and eggs
from infected hens is as wholesome
as though the bird had never been
diseased. The case Of a fowl which
has recovered from bacillary white
aiarrhea is comparable to the person
who has what is commonly known as
walking typhoid

fitted out in the most modern manner
with cupboards, shelves and work
shelf. The refrigerator is filled from
the outside, a feature which every
housewife will appreciate. The hall,
from which the stair to the second
floor begins, is centrally located and
can be entered directly from the re-
ception hall, dining room or kitchen.
The second floor is arranged so that
three bedrooms are provided, each
having a commodious closet. The
front and side bedrooms have three
windows and the back bedroom has
two, assuring effective ventilation and
lighting.
In order that the greatest good may
be obtained from the large front porch
Of this house, it would probably be de-
sirabIe to build the, porch with a
screen Enclosure. So fitted, it may cas-
lily be inclosed with storm sash dur
ing the winter months, making the
house easier to heat, especially in case
prevailing winds strike the house on
the porch side. The cost of this in
stallation is considered by most home
owners to be fully repaid in the pleas
ure and enjoyment which it makes
possible.
The size of the house is 26 feet by
38 feet, exclusive Of the porches. 1t
is desirable that a house of this type
be given plenty of room on the lot, il
it is to show up to the best advan-
tage. Because of the balanced char
acter Of the roof, the structureis seen
at it's best when viewed from an angle,
which is, of course, impossible if there
are houses built closely in at the sides.
Assuming that lot having width Of
at least 40 feet is provided, the house
is sure to attract favorable comment
from passers-by
A characteristic quality which is
evident in the house exterior is the
rustic appearance which is mainly de-
pendent upon the wall finish. It is
largely this which lends to the design
it's air of distinction. Rarely is this
element found in q two-story house of
this architectural type. It is the ele-
ment associated with the bungalow
and the cottage. 1t is the element
which makes the house possess the
inherent qualities of the home and
leaves with even a casual observer
the feeling that within there is cozi-
ness and comfort.

detailed list of directions with their
machines and, in justice to them, they
should be closely followed. The fol-
lowing suggestions by H. i. Kempster
of the Missouri College of Agriculture
may assist in securing a better hatch:
See that the thermometer is register
ing correctly. and, also, that it is the
proper distance from the eggs. If the
directions say level with the top Of
the eggs it does not mean two inches
or even one-half inch above, but ex-
actly level. The incubator should be
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected be-
fore every hatch. Ventilation should
be largely restricted the first week,
and then increased to full capacity at
the close The amount of ventilation
varies with the temperature of the
room. Cooling the eggs every day
after the third day strengthens the
germ, but cooling does not mean chill
ing. Eggs should be cooled slowly.
Above all, eggs should never be
turned after the lamp has been cared
for. The oil on the hands will close
up the pores in the shell and suffocate
the chick.
Successful results should not be ex-
pected if the breeding stock has not

On the southeast corner of Tenth
and this street was located the Green
Tree house, run by Dan Tobin. It
was moved i'll 1887 to Eighteenth and
William streets, where it now stands.
On this ground was erected in 1891
by Allen Bros, the wholesale grocers,
the present six-story freproof build
ing. On the northwest corner of
Tenth street is the Burlington head
quarters. Up to 1885 it was occu-
pied by McCord, Brady & Co. as their
wholesale grocery house. The build
ing on the northeast corner of the
block was built by Max Meyer in 1881
and for a number of years was used
Ny him as jewelry store. 1t was the
most prominent corner in Omaha for
years. On the southwest corner of
Tenth street is two-story brick built
in 1886 by A. J. Poppleton. For years
it has been occupied by a wholesale
liquor house, first by Stubendorf 4
Nestor, afterwards by Andy Frick, the
present occupant. The upstairs part
was occupied by the Young Mems
Christian association from 1887 to
1890. On this lot A. ]. Poppleton
built his law office in 1858. | have

Wonders of Nature IN Geyser and Mountain

The Great geyser is the king Of ali
Icelandic sights when it is to be seen.
Even when it refuses to show itself
you can feel its presence, just as you
can feel the presence of tiger in a
jungle. The Great geyser has an
evil personality; it sulks and hides,
and the only indications of its furious
temper is the working of the water
in the pool where it makes its home.
The pool is banked by lava cinders,
gray as dead leaves; it lies in a great
plain that is as desolate as the lava
mountains that surround it.
We determined, by the sacrifice OF
fifty pounds of soap that cost krone
a pound, to make the geyser play,
and exactly what happened is this: We
flung the soap into the geyser bore
and saw it sink from sight. Five
