Cheerful Open Crate Is
Most inefficient Device
Used in Heating a House.

The winter days call attention to the
proper use of the CRATE fire by those
who will try to help the country save
coal. When the need of using fuel
economically Is as strong as 1t is now,
writes Van H. Manning director Of the
bureau of mines, department Of the in
terror, we can say. twisting our words
bit. that the proper way to use the
CRATE is to use it not at all. If we look
at the open crate as merely heating
device. and know how small a proper
ton of the total heat in the fuel enters
the room to be warmed, we must re-
gard the open CRATE as probably the
most inefficient of all the inefficient de-
vices used in heating Il house. The
cheer and cOmpaniOnship of an open
crate fire must not be charged against
the heating bill, but to some other ac-
count
Efficiency is always a ratio or frac-
ton. and is what you get out compared
with what you put in. Into the CRATE
one puts fuel that has the ability to
produce large amount Of heat, but
the useful heat obtained from this fuel
is relatively small. Most Of the heat
In the fuel goes racing up the chimney.
In company with a large amount Of air
from the room. this air being replaced
by cold air drawn in through cracks
and crannies in the windvard side Of
the house. AS a device for drawing in
cold air crate is excellent. but it fur
needed. Mush less fuel, properly
burned in stove, would warm the
house better.

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. II such place is not
available, a box large enough (about
two feet sQuare) for the hens to get
into it should be provided in the house
and quantity Of dust such as Ordi-
nary road dust or fine dirt placed in
it TO allow the hens place 10 dust
themselves. A dust bath aids the
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, 1t is bet
ter to keep the hens as free as posi-
BILE from this pest, and II 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 fluOrid, a 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 Mt 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 small quantity of
blue ointment, a piece about as large
as a pea on the skin one inch below
the vent. If mercurial ointment is
used instead of blue ointment, 1t
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 year usually prove sufficient.
Mites are more troublesome and
more harmful than 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 IL allowed to become
plentiful-as they certainly will II not
destrOyed-will seriously affect her
health, and consequently her ability
to lay eggs. They may be eradicated
by q few thorough applications Of ker-
osene or some Of the coal-tar products
which are sold for this purpose, or
crude petroleum. to the interior Of the
poultry house. The commercial coal
tar products are more expensive but
retain their killing power longer. and
they may be cheapened by reducing
with an equal part of kerosene. Crude
petroleum will spray better If thinned
with one part of kerosene to four
parts of the crude oil. Both the crude
petroleum and the coal-tar products
often contain foreign particles, SO
should be strained before attempting
to spray. One must be sure that the
spray reaches all of the cracks and
crevices, giving especial attention to
the roOsts. dropping boards and nests

the Spanish-American war By that
time he had been promoted to the
