For this reason, the poultryman shouid
carry on the work in the henhouse
quietly and evenly.
To destroy mites and keep the flock
free Of their depredations, insecticloe
snrays and sanitary building are
necessary.
Ducks of most Of the meat breeds,
properly fed and managed. frequently
weigh from five to six pounds at ten
weeks of age.
IF It Is worth keeping poultry at all
II is worth making good Job or II
and nothing except good JOB Will
make profit.
After the grass gets tough chicks
can catch more bugs and worms and
will grow better on loose soil. The
cornfield furnishes ideal conditions.
Be careful that the chicks, poults
ducklings and goslings do not nave
any food and cannot get anything te
eat on the range which is moldy OF
musty. for such stuff causes cankel
and digestive troubles.
The Leghorns today are much bet
fer breed than they were years ago
The tendency has been to breed larger
birds and still retain all their charac
teristics as producers Of large mum
Der of eggs. With larger bodies alst
has come the production of larger
eggs. which is an added merit to the
| breed.

When Might Made Right.

A clergyman while passing through
one of the by-streets Of Edinburgh
came upon rOugh-lOoking and gigan-
tic coal man, who was 'persuading"
his horse to move along more expedi-
tiously. The horse had taken a stub
born fit, and the coal man was very
excited, and COUGHING his sentiments
In language which was simply appall-
ing, says London Tit-Blts.
The clergyman was little man, but
RASH for he rebuked the coal man In a
manner that left absolutely nothing to
be desired.
Il cannot understand" he said In
winding up his expostulation, what
you mean by using such narrowing ex-
pressions."
This rebuke was lost upon the coal
man.
MY wee man. he replied, at the
same time Patting the clergyman on
the shoulder with very dirty hand.
neither could l understand it-when
was your size"
Needless to say, there was no re-
joinder, and the clergyman iVsse1 on.

AYERS he didn't and the maid he did.
1t would be benefit to the tlmid bach
elor who. like moth, hoverS about
the fascinating widow, trying TO make
up his mind whether il is wlseSt and
best to WOO and wed or take unto him
self that old timely advice: Beware
of widows" The enterprising widow
in such a case would have to await his
decision, no matter how impatient she
might be to grasp time and the man
by the forelOCk.
OF course, advertising a betrothal
has its advantages. Then, again,
there's another side of the question
which bears weight against 1t. If a
modest girl has become betrOthed to
q tickle lover and he deserted her, how
distressed she would feel to explain
how 1t came about to her gloating five
hundred friends. Again, many such
girls may actually become betrothed
half dozen times before they decide
they have come across the right man.
There are any amount of kin people
who would have the laugh on them
for catching so many heauX. yet not
getting one of them to the altar.
There ar" timid men as we'll as
timid women. Many a man would not
propose marriage If he was under the
necessity of having his intention to

have his associates find this out. If
he has old loves in the back
ground, what an opportunity for them

Mosquito Can Be Destroyed
Only BY Eliminating Its

Of George A. Dean, Professor of en-
tomology In the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
BY doing away win breeding
places, such as tin cans broken crock

water, by the drainage of bodies Of
water likely to contain immature
mosquitoes, by application of oil to
bodies Of water that cannot be
drained. or the introduction Of fish In
pools that cannot either be drained
or oiled, millions of mosquitoes may
be destroyed according to Professor
Dean.
Water is necessary for the life Of
the mosquito. The eggs which are
laid on the surface of the water by
the adult mosquito, hatch in from "a
hours to several days, depending on
the temperature. The larvae issue
from the lower end of the egg and
wriggle about in the water.

Germ of Red Cross Idea.

The germ of the Red Cross idea
seems to date back into the sixteenth
century, when a gay young Neapolitan
soldier saw the error Of his ways, be-
came a priest, and devoting himself to
relieving the plague-stricken, organized
the "Fathers Of the Good Death, "
whose members were pledged to the
same service and who wore on their
breasts red cross in memory OF the
sufferings of Christ. This was Camll-
Ius de Lellis, who fell victim to the
disease he combated, and who, canon
lied by Benedict XIV, in 1746, became
st. Camillus in the Catholic calendar
Of saints.

The Monitor Comes Back.

British monitors are playing an I'M
portant part in the Italian advance to-
ward Tripst. The monitors have again
proved themselves in this war. They
appear - he the only type of craft
that can carry big guns into shallow
water and lombard coast Notifications
successfully. Submarines cannot fol-
low them into these shadows, and they
have so little freeboard that they pre-
sent a difficult mark for the enemy to
hit
Monitors took up the set work at the
Dardanelles after the battleships had
been lost or had been driven by subma-
rines to seek protected ports. Monl-
tors shell the Belgian coast when at
tacks are made on the German bases
there. Now they are Smelling the Aus
trian coast ahead of the Italians. And
so far there has been no report Of a
single monitor lost.

An Ounce of
Prevention
++4s-t++++.+.++4+++++++++++++'
By DR.. SAMUEL G. DIXON
Commissioner OF Health OF Penney'-
vania.

Before the causes of disease were
known or the practical application OF
natures ways of producing immunity
to disease, we had to suffer an attack
of sickness and then trust to drugs
and nursing for cure.
This was difficult task and the
death rate was sometimes enormous,
both in times of peace as well as OF
war.
Then the day of prevention came
Gradually the laws of nature unfolded
until today we know methods of pre-
venting diseases and antidoting the
poisOns generated by germs in the
body.
1t was even as late as the Spanish
American war that we lost more sol
dIers from preventable diseases than
we did from bullets. This was dis
graceful thing, as sanltarlanS coulu
have prevented the high death rate.
From what we can learn through the
newspapers and other sources, france
today is short of dlsinfectants in her
trenches We do not see any great
public excitement over this condition,
or any concerted action of our good
citizens to give their mites to pur-
chase and transport diSinfectants for
the French trenches so as to prevent
disease.
Therapeutics or drug treatment
seems to continue to have a hold on
the lay mind, and possibly, to some
extent, on the medical mind.
Both the people at home in every
day life and the soldiers in our army
are much to blame for the sickness
that exists. The medical professions
advice is not taken when these per
sons are well, but the moment they
get good and sick they call: "Oh, doc
tor. do relieve me from this awful
main" or "Oh, doctor. save my life!
Perhaps this call comes too late. A
few words Of prevention from the doc
tor to the patient, and those few words
obeyed, might have prevented the sick
ness and saved suffering and sorrow.
DO not let us lose sight, individually
or collectively, of preventing diseases
both at home and in our military
camps, let them be where they may.

Remember, milk is meat when 1t
comes to feeding chicks or hens.
The best eggs for Matching come
from fiocks that have free range.
Watch for head lice on the ducks.

1t is a good plan to force egg pro-

The production of ducks especially

The Mark of Honor.

He marches down the street
With a proud and martial eye,
And the people turn about
To watch him pass them by;
And his head is held erect,
In his spirits high command.
For a badge upon his arm,
He wears the khaki band.
He steps out free and firm
With a swinging to his tread.
And an eagerness to serve,
From the courage In him bred
BY the men who went before,
Who it's freedom won the land;
Now he's treading in their steps
For he wears the khaki band.
He's the soldier of the flag,
Ready for its sake to go
Where the call of duty sounds.
Fit to meet and fight the foe:
We are proud. as forth he comes
From the homes all DER the land,
With high courage in his heart,
On his arm the khaki band.

Milk Is a Cheap Tissue
Builder, Say Food Experts.

A quart of milk is equal in food val
ue to eight eggs. a pound of steak, or
half a pound of cheese. This Is the
statement of the committee on utlliza-
ton and economy, Kansas council of
defense.
Milk, 1t is pointed out, is q cheap
tissue builder, because the protein that
1t contains is of q kind particularly
valuable for building tissue.
Ordinarily milk is the cheapest and
most valuable source Of lime and phOs-
phorous. Milk Is deficient In iron, but
the iron that 1t contains is particularly
we'll utilized by the body.
