Of smother crops. Alfalfa, where 1t

smothering effect. 1t may be relied
upon to reduce greatly or even to Grad

some Of the grassy weeds. In the case
of smother crops, as with pasturing

Moving or cutting.-Cutting off re-

TIMELY WORK WITH POULTRY
Houses Should Be Thoroughly Cleaned

Get Rid of Parasites.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Chicken houses should be thoroughly
cleaned and sprayed. and an effort
made to get rid of all mites and lice,
as these pests affect the fertility Of
the flock, cause hens to leave their
nest, and kill young chicks. Breeding
stock should be carefully selected and
well housed and fed. in order to insure
large Matching and strong chicks.
Ample nests should be provided for
both the setting hens and the layers.
Care should be taken to protect chicks
from rats and from becoming chilled
as a result Of getting wet.
Eggs should be gathered regularly,
whether they are to be used for hatch
ing or are to be sold. The dirty eggs
and the eggs that have been set upon
for one or more days which are sold
to local dealers, result in lower price
to the farmers and are costing them
thousands of dollars month. Sell only
clean fresh eggs and insist that your
neighbOrs do the same.

House Of Lords Dies Hard.

II is now about sixty years since
Thomas Darlington Macaulay wrote
again and again that the house of
lords seemed to be on its last legs. He
used longer and more dignified
phrase, but that is Ats substance when
translated into the vernacular. Ap-
parently his conviction then was as
strong as that of any of those who
now hope for the abolition Of the
lords. To be sure, the circumstances
have changed greatly, but the lords die
so hard that this little historical rem
iniscence is not without its value now
that the same cry IS heard again and
when some think the consummation
near at hand.
