Just look over these items care
fully and then look around your
home and see if a lot of these bar
gains wouldn't fit in very nicely in
some of your plans. Almost every
department has something or an
other that is specially reduced for
Clearaway to make room for the
many other things that are always
coming in to crowd odds and
ends out.
We have no room for these left

are looking for. Green tickets inthe

here. Shop in mornings if possible.

SUITABLE HOUSE FOR FOWLS
Most Essential That Hens BE Protect.
ed From lnciement Weather.
and Their Enemies.

One Of the most essential things In
poultry keeping, Is to have suitable
house which will protect the fowls
from inclement weather and from
their natural enemies. II Is well un-
derstood that no two farms will pre-
sent exactly the same conditions; for
instance, one farmer will desire to
keep one hundred hens while another
may want many more or less. Then
again, some farms will present one
kind of soil. whereas on other farms
the character of the soil and drainage
are entirely different. Some farmers
will desire house which presents an
attractive appearance, whereas on
other farms poultry houses will be SO
located that they are not conspicuous,
and hence the matter of appearance Is
of little concern.
1t must he remembered that from
the standpoint of the hen. appearance
makes very little difference, but the
house must be so built and so ar
ranged that It Will be a comfortable
place for the hens to live; otherwise
they will not thrive and production
will not be satisfactory. On many
farms the hens are not provided with
house constructed especially for
them but are housed In an old building
originally made for some other pur-
pose.

There Is only one safe method Of
disposal of the dead, and that is by
burning. An ordinary wood fire does
well, but an old carbide can or other
such things made over slightly, makes
the job easier, more complete and less
repulsive, writes Dale II. Van Horn In
Farm and Home. Having procured the
carbon can, make hole in the
bottom little smaller than the
hole in the top, and then on one side
near the top make a door as shown.
Before starting operations, dig n
small hole and set the can inverted
over 1t. FIJI with cobs or wood and
soak with cold oil. Then drop the
dead fowl in the top and ignite. When
all has burned, nothing will be left
but the ashes, which have fallen into

That was the end of Captain Mas
terman's activities so far as the gov-
ernment was concerned. In final in
terview the secretary of the navy had
said to him:

terman. But it isn't the discoveries

world to believe In them. 1 believe in
the sea serpent, myself, because I've
seen three of them; but 1 wouldn't

another subsidy.
The secretary's confession duly ap-
peared In a newspaper article, and the
cartoonist Illustrated it with a draw
ing showing him as sea serpent with
three heads. In the course of his ex.
PLANTATION, Masterman consigned the
entire staff Of the navy department to

Twelve hours elapsed, then very heavy
rains occurred and spread the germs
of the disease. Another mule and four
hogs succumbed on the same farm.
Within ~ hours three hogs, two cows
and one horse died on the McTige farm
adjoining and lying lower, and two
mules at pasture one mile south on the
Carter farm died. Buzzards as cur.
riers OF the disease germs, were re-
sponsible for the deaths of the mules
In the latter case. Two days after
the first mule died Pool lost two cows
and three more hogs. Within n week
McTige lost 80 hogs, four cattle and
one horse. In the same period Pool
lost another mule and several more
hogs. His brother, on an adjoining
farm, lost one horse and two cows.
Carney, dairyman on another farm
adjoining Pool lost COW that had
been grazing In a nearby pasture. and
another one of Carter's mules became
sick but it recovered.

vaccine. Only two deaths of cattle

more hogs died. Some dlsinfection

Feed Horses With Care.
Cheap feeds, such as straw and

roughagc, should be fed to horses with
care. Horses cannot handle II large
bulk of feed as do cows or sheep. II
Is therefore desirable to combine with

sufficient legume hay, grain. or other
nutritious feed to meet the individual
requirements of the horse. A small
portion of some laxative feed. such ms

be included in n ration containing u

straw. A 1,000-pound Idle horse SHOULD
do well on a ration of nine pounds

five pounds ear corn. or ration Of
eight pounds oat straw, eight pounds
alfalfa. and three of cane molasses
These amounts should be increased fo
heavier horses according to weight.
