Making business better

TVERY business man who reads this knows
Il that the one thing he wants for his business
is to make it better; it ought to be quite easy
for you to understand how we feel about want
ing to make our business better.
As =ve look at it, "better" business doesn't
necessarily mean larger sales, tho that's the
common idea. We believe that sales do increase
when business gets better, but the sales are
result, not merely measure of the better"
We have things to sell that men wear we want
to sell them, of course; we bought em to sell.
But we'd a lot rather have you come IN because
you want to buy these things, than to persuade
you to come and buy because we want to sell
them.
We feel pretty sure that if we are careful enough
about having the right qualities in our merchan-
disc, and putting prices on it that insure you
good value for YOUR money, and then tell you
the truth about what we have, we'll find that
sales increase.
That's why we have so much to say about
Hart SChaffner & Marx clothes
That's merchandise that represents our idea of
the best we can do for YOU The rest OF our mer-
chandise is as nearly like that as we know how
to get it.

PROPER PEAR TREE PRUNING
As In Case Of Apple Low Head Is
Most DesirabIe-Retain Three
or Four Branches. a

(F'rom the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
Since pears are grown both as
standards and dwarfs in commercial
orchards, a consideration Of the prun-
ing of both classes is necessary. A
low-headed pear tree is quite as de-
sirable as low-headed apple tree.
In forming the head Of the pear, how
ever. more branches may be left than
in the case of the apple. While three
Is given as the ideal number for the
apple, as many as four or five may be
retained by well-grown pear tree.
These should be distributed about the
body so as to give practically an equal
space between them, and, II possible,
they should stand ut different heights
upon the main stem. The number Of
branches to be left upon any partic-
ular tree must, however, be deter
mined by the condition of the root.

FIGHT PESTS OF
CHICKEN FLOCKS
Mites Must Be Combated With
Sprays Of Insecticides in
Poultry Houses.
BUSTER FOR lice TREATMENT
Powdered Sulphur Is Best to Use for
Eradication Of Lice-High Efficien.
cy of Sodium Fluorid of Re-
cent Discovery.

Fowls are infested by two kinds Of
body parasites-lice and mites. Lice
live continuously upon the birds. The
common mite feeds upon them on the
roosts at night, and after feeding Sc
cretes itself in the cracks and crevices
about the roosts.
There are many different kinds OF
poultry lice. Those most common on
fowls are the body louise, yellowish I'm
color and about one-tenth of an inch
In length, which remains on the skin
of the fowl; the shaft louise. somewhat
smaller and very pale In color, which
Is usually seen on the shafts of the
feathers; and the lead louse-a large
gray species which Is most frequently
observed on the heads of young
chickens.
Lice are not usually very abundant
on healthy fowls which are kept under
sanitary conditions and provided with
dust baths. They multiply rapidly
upon birds of low vitality and slug
gish temperament, and are quickly dis
tributed through flocks upon promises
where attention to cleanliness is in
different. n
For novices in poultry keeping, and
With small focks generally, 1t is advis-
able to make sure that the flock is free
from lice by giving the birds individual
treatment which will secure that re-
suit. The most universally procurable
article for this purpose Is powdered
sulphur. The method of applying this
is to hold the bird by the feet-head
down-and dust the sulphur freely into
the feathers, using either a small in
sect powder gun, or a can with per-
forated cover. Pyrethrum may be used
In the same way. Neither of these
remedies will thoroughly and perma-
nently rid poultry Of lice. When they
are used treatment must be repeated
Mt more or less frequent intervals, as
may appear necessary.
By using commercial sodium fluorid
in the form Of powder, or as a dip, all
species of poultry lice may be de-
stroyed at one application. AS the
high efficiency of sodium fiuorid in de-
stroying lice on poultry is Of recent
discovery the material is not ordinarily
found In all drug stores. With de-
mand for 1t, however. local druggists
will secure supplies. Poultry keepers
who desire to thoroughly eradicate lice
from their flocks should write the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. Washington, d. O., for Farmers
Bulletin 801, which gives, with full de-
tails of the use Of sodium fluorid, COM
plete information on the control Of
mites and lice.
Mite IL Very Small.
The common chicken mite is very
small gray insect which. when It has
filed itself with blood. becomes bright
red. hence the name "red mite" by
which It is often called. 1t may be
discovered, II present, by looking on
the under sides Of the roosts and nest
supports, and In the wall crevices near
them. Where the mites are very album
dant they may be found in large
masses In such placea They also fro

cause of congested transportation,
caused many poultry keepers to cur
tail production or reduce stocks on
hand. AS was inevitable under the
circumstances, the sections of the East
where poultry keeping was most high
iy specialized were most affected.
Shortage Of feed In drought-stricken
areas in the West and Southwest also
led to reduction Of poultry stocks on
general farms In those areas.
Elsewhere flocks appear to have
been maintained at about normal num-
bers. and in some places slightly in
creased. Reports of heavy selling in
sections where feed Is sufficient have
In many cases failed to take into ac-
count the disposition Of the stock sold.
1t has usually been assumed that all
stock sold went to slaughter. Some
reports, however, state that many hens
and pullets sold by poultry keepers
who were short of feed or Of capital
passed to others who were in posi-
ton to hold them. The volume of re-
ceipts Of eggs at certain markets
seems to bear out this statement.

HARM FROM RODENTS
IS COUNTRYWIDE

, Food-destroying rodents are
common throughout the United
States. In states west Of the
Mississippi river prairie dogs,
ground squirrels, pocket gophers.
rabbits, cotton rats and field
mice have taken a continually
increasing toll from the crops
of wheat, oats, corn. barley and
other cereals, alfalfa, potatoes,
beans, fruit, melons and almonds
and from pasture ranges. States
east Of this boundary have suf-
fered heavily from the depreda-
tons of rabbits, woodchucks and
meadow pine and white-footed
mice in gardens. field and truck
crops, orchards and vineyards.
The estimate Of $50, 0OO, 900 loss
to crops annually in the United
States Is based upon information
regarding conditions reported by
field representatives of the bio
logical survey, United States de-
partment of agriculture, county
agricultural agents, other COM
petent officials, and farmers. It :
does not include losses inflicted
by house mice and rats.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
There should be 100 hens on every
farm in the United States. We should
obtain 100 eggs from every hen. With
approximately 100000 farms, that
would mean 600,000O00 hens and co.
000,000O00 eggs per year. That mum
Der of eggs constitutes military re-
source not to be ignored.
One hundred hens on every farm Is
not particularly big contract. There
Is hardly q farm in the United States
but could support that number of hens
practically on its waste materials and
without materially added cost. One
hundred hens to farm is considerably
less than the o"erage number of hens
to a farm in many Of the better poul-
reproducing sections of the country.
tits an average that could as easily be
maintained in the sections( Of the
country where the average per farm is
now lower than 100 hens. One hun
dred eggs from every hen, while far
below what could be obtained with
proper encouragement of fowls. Is
considerably more than the average
egg production the country over.
These two items are the basis Of the
war emergency poultry program for
1913. The carrying out of that pro-
gram is an important part of the war
against barbaric domination.
Two causes combine to bring the ne
cessity for a special effort to secure
the raising of more poultry this year.
One Is that the war needs of the nation
make larger average stocks of produc-
tive poultry important. The other Is
that the number of fowls on farms has,
from multiplicity Of causes, been re-
duced during the past year.
A succession of sharp advances In
prices of poultry feeds in 1917 and
uncertainties in supplies of feeds, be-
