When Chickens Are Best.

Chickens, in any general scheme of
poultry production, of course, must
take first place. They are best adapted
to general conditions, take a wider
range of feeds and convert them, per-
haps, with the greatest margin of
profit. Chickens, better than any 9TH
er class of poultry, utilize table scraps
and the general run of waste from the
kitchen door, all the way from apple
and potato parings to sour milk
Chickens far surpass all other kinds
of poultry in salvaging waste grain
from the stables, from the shed or lot
where the cattle are fed. and from hog
pens. During the winter months, on
farms where any considerable number
of live stock are kept, the hens would
take their living from these sources
with only slight additional feeding
from time to time. Chickens are great
destroyers of insects.

MAKING Food From Waste.

Keep this thought in mind in con-
sidering the growing of more poultry
as war necessity: Poultry is means
of converting into good food materials
that cannot be utilized by man, that
cannot be eaten by any other kinds of
stock, and that without the poultry
would be absolute waste. Very clear
ly it becomes national as well as
an individual duty to keep. enough
poultry to take up all such waste ma
terials. AS long as fowls take the
bulk of their feed from such sources
and require to be fed on grain or other
garnered feeds only as finishing pro-
cess, additional food IL being created.

FIGHT PESTS OF
CHICKEN FL0CKS
Mites Must Be Combated With
Sprays of Insecticides in
Poultry Houses.
CUSTER FOR lice Treatment
Powdered Sulphur 10 Best to Use for
Eradication Of Lice-HiQh Efficien-
cy OF Sodium FIuorid 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 in
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 head 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.
For novices In poultry keeping, and
with small flocks generally, it 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 me feet-head
down-and dust the sulphur freely into
the feathers, using either n small in
sect powder gun, or a can with a 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
at more or less frequent intervals, as
may appear necessary.
BY using commercial sodium fiuorid
in the form of powder, or as dip, all
species of poultry lice may be de-
stroyed at one application. As the
high efficiency of sodium fluorid in de-
stroying lice on poultry Is of recent
discovery the material is not ordinarily
found in all drug stores. With q de-
mand for it, 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, ID. c., for Farmers
Bulletin sol, which gives, with full de-
tails of the use of sodium fluorid, COM
plete information ON the control of
mites and lice.
Mite Is Very Small.
The common chicken mite is a very
small gray insect which, when it has
filled itself with blood, becomes bright
red, hence the name "red mite" by
which It is often called. 1t may be
discovered, If 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 places. They also fire.

.ARY TALL Ell
THE ELEPHANTS.
~ MARI RAHA0 BONNER

''Mr. Jock Elephant was very
smart animal" commenced Daddy.
'He had fine memory as most Of
the Mr.. Elephants have and was real
ly good deal brighter than Mrs.
Jock Elephant.
"They had two fine children, one was
a boy elephant named Ted and the
other girl elephant, only two months
old, named Title.
"Now Mrs. Jock Elephant had been
very cross for a whole month after TIL
lie had been born. She had been so
afraid something would happen to her
beautiful elephant baby that she was
angry with everyone else who spoke
to her and who took her attention
away from her baby.
''Nfr. Jock Elephant remembered that
Mrs. Jock behaved the same way for
a month after Ted had been born. She
was so jealous and so careful Of her
babies; she loved them so much that
no harm must come to them. And for
whole month there was always dan
ger. After that they were stronger
and better able to look after them
selves.
Mrs. Jock Elephants home was in
the zoo and the keeper took excellent
care of her and Of her family. But
still she behaved just as she would
have acted If she had been out in the
jungles where she would have guarded
her baby so carefully. The keeper
knew this and understood how she felt
so he was kinder to her than ever.
But the time was past FOR Mrs.
Jock to be cross, and once more she
was very pleasant. They had a fine
meal one day of water and hay which
they like above everything else and to
show how much they appreciated 1t,
they began doing their tricks for the
keeper.
mot only did the keeper watch
them, but many children who were in
the elephant house and who saw that
the elephants were about to perform,
came over and watched them. Mr..
and Mrs. Jock Elephant had many fine
tricks. Ted had learned number of

Because of the large quantities of
grain, poultry and foodstuffs destroyed
by rats and mice on farms, it will pay

ings, says Farmers Bulletin, House
Rats and Mice" recently issued by
the United States department of .agri-
culture.
Granaries, corncribs and poultry
houses may be made rat-proof by a
liberal use of cement in the founda-
tons and floors; or the floors may be
OF wood resting upon concrete.
Inverted Pans Unsatisfactory.
The common practice of setting
corncribs on posts with inverted pans
at the top often fails to exclude rats,
because the posts are not high enough
to place the lower cracks of the struc-
ture beyoAd reach of the animals. AS
rats are excellent jumpers, the posts
should be tall enough to prevent the
animals from obtaining a foothold at
any place within three feet of the
OuHu n CIlD DutlL Al Ills way,
however, is not very satisfactory.
For rat-proof crib a well-drained
site should be chosen. The outer
walls, laid in cement, should be sunk
about 20 inches into the ground. The
space within the walls should be grout-
ed thoroughly with cement and brok-
en- stone and finished with rich con-
crete for floor. Upon this the struc-
ture may be built. Even the walls
of the crib may be of concrete. Corn
will not mold in contact with them,
provided there is a good ventilation
and the roof Is water-tight.
Wire Netting for Cribs.
However. there are cheaper ways of
excluding rats from either new or old
corncrbs. Rats, mice and sparrows

The present honey crop Of the Unit

pounds. That the country produces
even this much is unknown to most
people, 1t is stated, for while honey
was the chief form of sugar used in

them for the keeper taught them lots
IF things in his elephant school and
Ted was going up to a higher class
every day.
1.-THE elephant school is the school
the keeper started in which he taught
the elephants to do tricks, for 1t would
be of little use to the elephants if they
were taught to do sums and to write
and read. No one can quite think of
an elephant sitting up with q pair of
glasses before his eyes and trying to
hold a book before him with the aid
of his trunk.
Besides very few books would in
terest the elephants if they could read
except books on hay, and there aren't
many written on that subject.
$50 the elephants learn to do tricks,
and the keeper calls his time for show
ing them how to do the tricks his les
son time. You know that in a circus
they have a school for the different
kinds of animals and they have les
sons every morning. If they didn't do
their. lessons well they wouldn't be able
to give such fine performances.
'Mr and Mrs. Jock were looking
forward to the summer when they
would take real baths instead of the
oil ones the keeper had given them
through the winter to keep their skin
from cracking
zone of Jocks best tricks was the
way he could catch pennies which were
thrown to him. He put them in lit
tie bank in his cage and every time he
did this he rang a bell which the keep
err gave him. And when he is given
peanuts he is very wise, for he takes
as many as he can get and holds them
in his trunk IL he hasn't time TO eat
them all.
"He had his toe nails cut the other
day, for when an elephant is in the
jungle he keeps his nails in good con-
dition by going over rough ground.
They find plenty of oil In the marshes
for their skin, and they harden their
feet by rough stones, which the keeper
tries to take the place of with sand
paper.
"When they drink they use their
mouths, which of course is what all
sensible folks and animals do-in fact
! believe everyone drinks that way
But then. you see, elephants have long
trunks and we often wonder Just how
they can manage.
''They throw their trunks over their
heads when they drink. OF course
they get their food TO their mouths by
the help of their trunks.

ON EVERY FARM-1O0 HENS.

There should be 100 hens on
every farm in the United States,
declares recent publication
from the Office OF the secretary
of agriculture, circular 107. And
we should obtain 100 eggs from
every hen. With approximately
6OO,O00,OOO hens and 60,0OO,OOO,-
600 eggs per year, according to
the calculations of the writer's,
who then add that that number
Of eggs constitutes a military re-
source not to be ignored.
One hundred hens on every
farm is not a particularly big
contract. There is hardly farm
In the United States but could
support that number of hens
practically on its waste mate
rails and without materially add
ed cost. One hundred hens to a
farm is considerably less than
the average number Of hens to a
farm in many of the better poul-
try producing sections of the
country. 1t is an average that
could easily be maintained in the
sections of the country where
the average per farm is now
lower.
One hundred eggs from every
hen, while far below what could
be obtained with proper encour-
agement of fowls, Is consider
ably more than the average egg
production the country over.
Suggestions for attaining this
average are given in the publica-
ticn mentioned.

1t is possible for the American bee

that the honey crop will be ten times

The path for this development lies
through the education Of beekeepers

Southern Alberta in Uproar
Because of Influx of Set

L%ethbridge, Alta, Oct. 11.-South-
ern Alberta is in ar uproar over an
influx Of great numbers Of German
Mennonites, mostly from South Da-
kota who are accused Of fleeing to
Canada from the United States to es-
cape military service. The largest
settlement has been made six miles
south of the town of Raymond and
twenty-five miles south of Lethbridge,
In the neighborhood of the Mormon
settlers who are among the strongest
objectors to the new arrivals. The
Mormons, it is said, have lent their
full support to he var and military
service.
Returned Veterans associations and
the Daughters of the Empire are
making loud protests to the dominion
government. Several ministers Of the
government have asserted the new
settlers canno escape military serv-
ice. The provincial government Of
fcials are claiming hat the Mennon-
ties cannot have German schools and
must conform to the provincial laws.
Nevertheless, it has been learned by
the veterans hat the dominion gov
eminent is puzzled over the situation
due to the wording Of the old act
under which Mennonites in Canada
We're originally given exemption from
military service.
1t appears that the original Men
nonites were brought to Canada I'M

eminent, and in the act guaranteeing
