KEEP POULTRY
FREE FROM LICE

Lousy hens are-not likely to prove
good sitters. Lousy chicks lose vital
ity and die. "A lousy flock is unthrlfty.
With poultry and eggs selling at high
prices, the poultryman can well anord
to apply the simple remedies which
will keep his birds free from lice and
mites.
The University of Missouri college
of agriculture has used sodium fuor-
Idle effectively and recommends a larg-
er use of 1t by poultrymen. This
chemical is exceedingly poisonous to
all species of chicken lice. 1t kills
both adults and young, including the
young which emerge from the eggs
present at the time of treatment. One
application of sodium fl0uride to all
fowls on the farm will completely de-
stroy all lice present.
Sodium fluOride may be applied as
a dust or as a dip. One pound Of the
chemical Will be enough to dust about
one hundred hens by the pinch meth
cd. This method, developed by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, is as follows: Hold the fowl by
the legs or wings with one hand while
with the other hand small pinch of
the chemical is placed among the
feathers next to the skin. Apply one
pinch on the head, one on the neck,
two on the back, one on the breast,
one below the vent, one on the tail,
one on either thigh, and one scattered
on the underside Of each wing when
spread. Hold the chicken over large
shallow pan while busting, to recover
the material that might ordinarily be
lost.

BowIegged Fellows Are Not
Likely to Face Poverty
Bad Luck for Turn-In Toes

There is an old saying that a handy
legged boy will never lack warm
stockings, meaning that he will never
be in want of money, so that folk
whose friends are apt to be rude about
their manner of walking may find con-
ISOLATION therein, says writer In Lon
don Answers.
On the other hand. persons who
walk in fashion which quickly wears
down their heels are likely one day to
be in need Of cash, while knock-kneed
folk, though they have the ability to
get wealth, have not the power to at
tract love-so 1t is said:
A long stride and swinging walk
are gOod-they imply that there may
be ups and downs, but good fortune
will never get far away, and will
come out on top eventually.
Bad luck follows in the train of
those who habitually turn in their
toes, however, and an ancient adage
has it that the man who always walks
on the tips Of his toes Is likely to end
his days in prison.

Britisher Reads Stars
and Sees New World War
to Begin in June 1926

There will be another world war be-
ginning in June, 1926, according to a
writer in the British Journal of AS
trology. This prophet, who signs HIM
self "Sepharial," asks for serious
hearing, inasmuch MS he claims to
have published a year In advance In
each case the exact date of the war
Of 1914 and Of the cessation of hos
tilities.
"The first phase of the next wal"
he writes, twill begin with Turkey.
whose perfldy will lead to its final
overthrow in 1922. This time Prus-
sian intrigue will dominate the posi-
ton in the near East, affecting Greece,
Turkey and Russia. But, according
TO my calculations, the great crisis
will not be reached until June, 1926.
I'm. this great war, which may be
regarded as Prussia's counter to the
war of 1914-1S, the malevolent forces
take their rise In Vienna and Berlin,
ascend to Petrograd, penetrate through
s the whole of Russia and descend via
the BLACK sea and Turkey in Asia, on
TO Syria and Palestine"
Another allied victory is predicted
By Sepharial.

In hens egg only one-flfth of the

about two-thirds, is water. according
to authority.

as yellow ones, for they contain q

next In order are ducks, guinea fowls,
hens, turkeys, and plovers' eggs.
Eggs contain q large quantity Of
sulphur, which is purifying to the
blood and good for the complexion.
TO get the best egg you must feed
your fowl on grain. And to cook It In
the most digestible way you must not
boil the water. Heat the water to

attracted much attention in the Texas
league. The same scout looked at this
catcher.
It finally came time for a showdown.
Mr.. Navin could get both catchers for
reasonable prices, but in the meantime
he agreed with the travelling represen-
tative that the kid catcher in Illinois
was probably too slightly built and he
took the one with the Texas club, who
was a big man and also looked like a
valuable prospect.
The one he picked was Jack Onslow,
a fair catcher but a little shy on big
league requirements. The one he
passed up because he was a runt was
Ray Schalk.
The rest Is an old story. Schalk has
