BACK YARD
POULTRY KEEPING

If the best results are to be expect
ed from the flock, the hens must not
be allowed to become overrun with
lice or the house with mites. Usually
there will be q place In the yard
where the hens can dust themselves In
The dry dirt. If such Il place is not
available, box large enough (about
two feet square) for the hens to get
into 1t should be provided In the house
and quantity of dust such as ordi-
nary road dust or fine dirt placed In

hens in keeping lice In check and
therefore adds to their comfort. Usu-
ally the lice are not present on the
birds in sufficient number to prove par
ticularly harmful. However, it is bet
ter to keep the hens as free as posi-
BILE from this pest, and If they are
not able to keep them in check by
busting themselves. other measures
can be undertaken.
To rid the hens of lice, each one can
be treated by placing small pinches of
sodium fiuOrid, q material which can
be obtained at most large drug stores,
among the feathers next to the skin
one pinch on the head, one on the
neck, two on the back, one on the
breast one below the vent, one at the
base of the tail, one on either thigh.
and one scattered on the underside Of
each wing when spread. Another
method is to use Il small quantity of
blue ointment. a piece about as large
as pea on the skin one inch below
| the vent. If mercurial ointment is
used instead of blue ointment, it
should be diluted with an equal guam
tity of vaseline. Any of these meth
dds will be found very effective in rid
ding the hens of lice and should be
employed whenever the lice become
| troublesome. Two or three applica-
tons n year usually prove sufficient.
Mites are more troublesome and
more harmful tan lice. They do not
live upon the birds like the lice, but
| during the day hide in the cracks and
crevices of the rOOsts and walls of the
house, and at night they come out and
! get upon the fowls. They suck the
hens blood. and If allowed TO become

/ tar products are more expensive but
retain their killing power longer and
they may be cheapened by reducing

petroleum and the coai-tar products
often contain foreign particles. so

Club Men Talk Calmly.
But the booming Of heavy guns in
and around the city generally reaches
most ears. A crowd Of men sat In a
smoking room Mt one club, with n glass
roof above, and talked of one thing and
another during the raid. Seeking shef-
ter in subway would appear as i'm
possible to them as going down Broad
way barefooted. Only very small
proportion of London can be acc0mmo-
dated in the subways. The crowdlng
OF public buildings during raids has
been discouraged, because II Is realized
that very few Of them can withstand
the heavy bombs. Residents now are
officially advised to stay at home dur.

At last they grow tired Of dancing.
A friendly hand Of bridge is suggested
as an alternative. Only small stakes
are allowed at the start. But as hand
follows hand and drink follows drink
they increase in value. Between IL p.
m. and a. m. the host and hostess
may make anything from $1,000 to
$1,000 out Of the gamble-a gamble for
them, but no gamble for the unlucky
army subaltern or the impecuniOus coll

Once they have rid themselves Of all
their available loose cash they are

The game is played In the most re-

ficulty Of bringing these criminals to
book.
Quite recently an American woman
wrote to the editor Of London news
paper giving him particulars OF one OF
these respectable entertainments. Inc
address of the house was mentioned In
the letter; also the time at which the
game was commenced and the name OF
the proprietress Of the place.
This woman, said the American, had
made 100000 during the war. Many
American officers had been decoyed to
the place. One lost $500, another
81. 800 and Canadian $500 just before
leaving for the battle front. Women
decoys were allowed to put their los
ings ION the slate" up to $1,000 and
take winnings in cash.

London.-The thick London fog
often referred to In America, is one Of
the British capitals chief projections
from mir raids by the Huns. If It Is
foggy or misty night the searchllghts
OF Zeppelins cannot reach their long
fingers OF light TO the earth and pick
out the English coast or find their way
to London. Airplanes, likewise are
bafiled. So a thick fog gives sense
Of security and one buys ticket to
theater with far more cheerfulness
than on n moonlight night when the
air Ia clear.
The weather has attained a new
sphere as topic OF conversation. One
Londoner may greet another with !:
swell, It looks like good night for
raid" II the evening is fair. More
than n hundred bombings have taught
the Londoner to expect n raid on such
nights. He considers 1t lucky II none
occurs.
"Blinds must be drawn at $50 p.
m. today" runs a line In the daily
papers. As summer approaches the
hour Il made later, to correspond with
dusk. And the blinds nre drawn. Ho-
tel maids are instructed to attend to
this promptly. Hotels also have pla-
cards warning guests that police will
hold them responsible II light shows
from their window.
Buses Operate as Usual.
All London does not take to cover
when an mir raid is on. During NJ
cent raid. when bombs were being
dropped and bits OF shrapnel fell full
sumely. the auto buses, with their
woman conductors, operated as usual.
And there were passengers. British.
ers do not regard the air raids with
fear. People In the street get under
cover. II II Is handy, so ms not TO be
hit by failing shrapnel. But they do
not dash mndly 10 shelter or push or
jam their way Into safety In the
underground railway stations. The
subway trains are operated as usual.
Only the foreign element, largely en-.
ployed In munitlon factories, has be.
come frightened. Many Of these hav,
moved into safety zones.
