A TOAST TO MY MOTHER
Thanksgiving Day


Her eyes are just ike springtime,
Where lovelight doth abide;
Her cheeks resemble roses,
The glorious summers pride.
Her laugh is like the rustic
OF autumn leaves that fall.
She is crowned with snowy winter
We love her, one and all;
And like unto the river
That flows into the sea-
There is a never lending
OF her dear love for me.
Spring blended into summer,
Autumn to winter cold,
Ny tender, loving mother
Has heart Of purest gold.

FLEAS INJURIOUS TO FOWL S
Sticktight Variety Found in Many
Southern States Is of Importance s
Few Other Types.

From the United States Department of
Agricultural
Southern poultry raisers haze an
additionar poultry pest to combat
aside from lice and mites. Ills the
sticktight flea, or Southern chicken
flea, which in many parts of the South
and Southwestern states is of great i'm
portance. 1t has been reported as in
furious to poultry as far north as Kan
sas. This form of flea attacks num-
Der of different hosts including poultry,
dogs, cats, and some wild animals. I'm
main, during the greater part of their
lives, attached to the host animal, it
has been stated. In the case of poul-
try infestatiOn tleas arc most common
on the heads of the hosts, where they
are to be seen in groups or patches.
This habit Of ATTACKING in clusters
seems to be"wcll marked, and an In
Tested fowl often may. be recognized
at q considerable distance by the dark
flea covered areas about tho eyes, comb
ccssively abundant they may be found
in similar patches on the neck and va
rious parts of the body The injury
is most marked in young chickens,
which when fairly heavily infested
often die quickly. Older fowls are
more resistant, but have been known
to Succumb to very heavy infcstations;

SKINNED MILK FOR CALVES
Since Most of Fat Has Been Removed
in Cream Carbohydrates Needed
to Make 1t Balanced.

SKINNED milk is a little richer in
protein than whole milk, but lower IN
carbohydrates. Since4.most' of the. fat
has been removed in the cream the
SKINNED milk will need carbohydrates
to make it Il balanced ration for calves.
A good plan is to replace portion
Of the WHOLE milk with skinned milk,
gradually increase the skinned milk
with some form Of carbohydrates till
oil Of the whole milk is replaced by
skinned milk, Fine ground meal is
pne, Of the best carbohydrate supple
ments to be fed with skinned milk.
Some feeders cook the meal, stir it
in the skinned milk and feed it to the
calf. After the calf is two weeks old
it will eat fine ground meal and If fed
small quantities will assimilate it.
Linsced meal is also used.
; Care: should be taken in feeding
calves. They should be taught to
drink from the pail as soon as pos
sible. Nothing but clean vessels should
be used and the milk should be clean
and warm.

and certainly the feas materially re-
growth Of fowls, and diminish their
size.
The eggs are deposited by the adult
flea while it is attached to the host.
'ihey fail to the ground under the
roost in chicken houses or under sheds
frCquonted by the poultry and there
continue to develop. When dogs and
cats are infested, the immature stages
develop largely in the material used
by them for beds. They require, COM
Uarativeiy dry materia; in which to
breed, but large amount Of air moist
ule is favorable to them. Adults Of
ills species CONTINUE szsss1sso4iasesssf
infested trash for four or FIVE months
after all hosts have been removed ::
hence it is easy to understand why
chicken houses may still have many
flcas in them after being unused for
considerable periods.
A few other species of fleas are oc-
casionalIy found in poultry houses.
Some of these may be normally bird
infcstinG species, While others are at
home in the houses of domestic poul-
try. JnfeStations by these fleas have
heen reported from several places i'll
the Northern atares, particularly in the
Northwest. The presence hf the fieas
is usually first detected by persons en-
tering chicken houses and being at
tackled by them. These fieaS do not
remain attached to the host cOntinu-
ously as does the sticktight flea.
AS a preliminary step it is well to
see that the poultry are kept away
from ether animals as far IS possible.
Especial care shnuld be exercised to
keep dogs and cats from lying about
the chicken yards or places frequent
ed by the poultry. All animals, and
the poultry as well, should be exclud-
ed from beneath houses and barns, as
such places are favorable for flea de
velopment and difficult to treat if they
become infested. These precautions
should be followed by thorough
r,naning out OF the chicken house and
OutbuiidingS frcqucnted by the poultry.
All Of the material slAHld he hauled
Il good distance from the buildings and
scattered. The places where the fleas
are thought to be breeding should
th"n be sprinkled with crude Oil.
= 1t is rather difficult to destroy the
Stfcktight flea on fowls without injur-
in" the host. IT is desirable, however,
sn the case Of heavy infestatiOns to de-
StrOV as many of the flpaS as possible.
/ This can be accomplished by carefully
applying carbOlated vaSeline TO the
clusters of f1caS on the fowls, or greaS-
ing them with kerosene and lard-One
part kerosene to two parts lard. In
al cases care should be taken that
the applications of grease are CON
fined to the seat of infestatiGn: 1t is
impOrtant that dogs and cats be freed
from Sticktight feas. This may be
accomplished by washing them in q
saponi!ird o0aI-tar ereosote nrepara=
ton, or Ivy greasing the most heavily
infested parts with Kerosene and lard,
Rats sometimes haIhOr these flpas Ia
considerable numbers. therefore their
destruction will aid in the control work

troublesome chicken pest
The thorough clcansins Of DOultry
houses and runs and the application "f

Closing Exercises In All urhues.
The Mastodon township schools
have closed for the year. Commenc-

kinds were held In the different grades
The first OF the attractions was the
play "The Land OF Nod" which was
Sgiyen by the pupils OF the Porter
school on Tuesday evening. IL was a
short program OF about forty-flve min

and well attended.
The next event OF great interest
was the field day sports. The weather
was fine Wednesday afternoon when
the sports took place on the Porter
school grounds. The spirit in evil
fdence was fine and, while the athletic
events were not as generally entered
into by pupils as might be expected,
Yet the promise is good for an in
creased interest in the event as the
years pass.
The markings in the athletic con-
tests was along the Y. NJ. c. A. eff
