DRINKING WATER FOR FOWLS
Sufficient Supply, Frequently Renewed.
Is as Necessary as Proper
Amount of Food.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
If your flock of poultry has not been
doing as well as you think it ought to,
perhaps 1t is because you have not
been providing the chickens with a
supply of fresh, pure drinking water.
Of course, lack of thrift and low egg
yields may be due to a number of other
certain causes, such as poor stock, poor
feed (both quality and quantity, bad
housing conditions, diseases, presence
of lice and mites, and lack Of care.
But for some reason many poultry
raisers who give attention to these
items sometimes neglect the water
supply. A supply Of pure drinking wa
ter frequently renewed is as necessary
for poultry as sufficient amounts of
food.
There are two different types of
drinking vessels for poultry in COM
mon use: Open vessels-pails, pans,
crooks and the like; and drinking foun-
tains so constructed that dust and dirt
cannot get into the water except by
way of very small exposed surface.
These quite opposite types of drink
Ing vessels are about equally popular
with poultry keepers. Open vessels
catch more dirt and dust, but are more
easily cleaned. Closed fountains may
be used much longer without cleaning,
but if allowed to become foul are hard
er to clean thoroughly.
Placing open drinking vessels on a
shelf a foot or more above the floor
prevents the hens from scratching
coarse litter into them, but does not
keep out the dust which floats in the
air and settles in the water.
Thoroughly rinSing open vessels once
a day and scalding drinking fountains
once or twice week will usually keep
them as clean as necessary.

LOW.HEADED TREES FAVORED
Care Should Be Taken In Forming
Head to Have Branches Disposed
of Along Body.

From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Modern orchardists have come to
look upon the low-headed tree as more
desirable than those headed high. A
head which is PA to 3 feet from the
ground is at present considered more
desirable than one which is 9 feet or
more from the ground. The latter
height was formerly frequently used.
In forming the head care should be
taken to have the framework branches
disposed at different heights along the
body Of the tree-say from 3 to q
inches apart, and distributed as evenly
as possible around the body as a CEN
trail axis; that Is, when viewed from
above the picture presented would be
that of a wheel, the hub being the GEN.

rags fastened to pole and soaked in
kerosene will serve for this purpose.
The nests should be burned early in
the morning while the caterpillars are
at rest within, care being taken not to
iniure the larger limbs and branches.
Egg masses of the gypsy moth and Of
other insects, deposited on stone walls
and similar situations, can be de.
StrOyed by burning with suitable blast
or other torches. Cranberry boys are
sometimes burned over in order to de-
stroy certain insects, such as the cram
berry girdler. This is usually done by
specially constructed torches. Leaves
and trash in orchards, which frequent
ly harbor injurious insects, should be
well plowed under to add to the humus
in the soil, or raked up and burned dur
ing the fall, winter or early spring.
1t is a well-known fact that certain
insects are attracted at night to lights,
and in an effort to take advantage Of
this habit insect light traps have been
recommended at various times for the
capture of injurious species. Some Of
the traps developed are very simple
and others are more elaborate patented
contrivances. The small forms con-
sist of an ordinary lantern placed over
basin containing water which Is
covered by thin film of kerosene or
other oil. The insects in fluttering
about the light fall into the oil and
are destroyed.
Careful experiments with light traps
in orchards have demonstrated fully
that these have only slight, If any,
value in orchard-insect control. The
light traps capture some injurious
forms, but at the same time destroy
good many beneficial parasitic and pre-
dacious species. Many orchardists
have been induced to purchase light
traps which were guaranteed to cap
ture the codling moth. This insect,
however, is very little, If at all, at
tracted to light traps, and these are
therefore useless IN its control.

TREATMENT OF KICKING cow
Care and Patience Will Effect Cure If
Right Methods Are Used-Two
Ways of Tying.

Care and patience will cure the
clicking COW if the proper methods
are employed. One method is to pass
a rope or strap with a loop in one
end of it around the body Of the cow
and draw it tight. The COW will usu-
ally jump at first, but when she finds
she cannot get out Of the rope she
will stand still. If this method causes
the COW to give bloody milk, place the
rope or strap behind the udder, and
draw it tight as before.
Another method is to hobble the
cow by passing the rope around each
leg behind the udder, and tying just
above the hooks. This method is a
dangerous one, however, for the per-
son tying the rope. After these meth
DDS have been repeated a few times
the COW will stand quietly to be MIXED.

The male should be gallant, ever
ready to share his meals with the
hens; but he must not be too gener-
Gus and thus deprive himself, or he
will be underfed, become nervous, and
not prove to be a good breeder. The
glutton male is equally bad. He be-
comes overfat while the hens do not
get their share, and the consequence
is poor fertility. The nature of every

One of the principal articles of
fresh meat to be seen in the butcher
shops consisted of black crows
They were selling at rs cents apiece,
There was something ludicrous in
the thought of the Germans being
compelled to "eat crow" but there
were little to laugh at in eating ii

To obtain oil, prizes were offered
to the schoolchildren to collect fruit
seeds, from which it could be ex-
tracted, and veritable mountains OF
the seeds were thus obtained.
The staple item of the diet os the
poorer classes in Germany had al
ways been the potato and the scare
ity of that article resulted in much
suffering. When in the early months
of 1917, potatoes were absolutely
unobtainable, hysterical rumors be-
came current among the hunger
CGdZeQ WOTheTS. 1t was r6pOIISu
for instance, that one Of the German
U-boats had captured a German ship
bound from Stettin on the Baltic to
England and that its cargo consisted
entirely of potatoes-the Inference
being that the German agrarians
were such traitors that they were
allowing their fellow w-countrymen to
starve for the sake of the profit
they could make from dealing with
the enemy. This report spread
broadcast and became so menacing
the government had to contradict
it through the newspapers.
The last meal 1 had in Berlin was
on January 81, 1918, when l dined
at the Hotel Adlon. 1t consisted of
one sardine. three thin slices of cold
smoked salmon, soup which was
hardly more than hot salt water,
two small boiled potatoes and a
substitute for cornstarch pudding.
No butter and no sauces of any
kind were served. Black bread 1
this elaborate table d'hote meal

My journey to Copenhagen via the

the rolling stock was in a terribly

Above all, act calmly. Have your
daughter come directly in front of
you; get her undivided attention.
Then, very slowly and in a confiden-
ial way, suggest that, from now on,
she is not to talk back" when told
to do anything. Tell her you simply
will not permit it.
When you have told her what you
expect of her in a quiet but impress
sive way, begin at once to show your
friendliness. The natural thing for
most parents when a child offends,
| is to keep the atmosphere cold, to
appear independent and distant, but
this is unwise from the standpoint of
results.
! 1t would be folly of course to COM
| promise in any way during the con-
| tidential talk. Let the talk be SER
ious business from start to finish,
! giving the idea that you know pre-
| cisely what you want and expect in
| the way of behavior. But hasten to
show that your spirit is friendly. Do
| something or say something that
| signifies yoNr friendly attitude.
| You may be advised to ignore the
saucy child on the theory that, If he
| gains nothing in the way of atten-
| ton, he will discontinue it. You may
] also De lOlu 10 lcI the CIllu play
alone a while as a natural punish
ment for her not being friendly when
with others. OF course, the latter
method might be used as a last re-
sort in case the saucy attitude was
! displayed with other children. But
neither of these methods is advised
for general use. The best method is
| to tell the child the proper way to
act and to retain the closest friend
ship with her.
You as a parent must, in dealing
with all habits in which temper is
involved observe two points closely
! First your child must be in good
health-he must be properly fed and
! his bowels in good order. Second,
| he must not be allowed to see ex-
amples of the wrong attitude shown
by adults Especially his parents) or
by other children, any more than
you can help.
Give your children all the freedom
the need in the field of permissible
| things. but stand up uncomprisingly
for the highest ideals in child dis
cipline. Only thus will you be doing
the best for your child.
