HINTS FOR
POULTRY GROWERS

The first step to eradicate the pests
which live I'm cracks and erevices In
poultry houses is to thoroughly clean
+be house, writes r. T.. SchOwengerdk
Of the Colorado Agricultural college.
All litter; nest material and droppings
should be removed Then spray or
paint thoroughly the entire surface OF
the house and literally deod all cracks
and inside Of nests with s per cent
solution of cresoI. Use plenty q
spray and do the work thoroughly.
Finally it should be remembered that
one application Of either of these tre4t-
nsents ia not sufficient. Where there
are lice and mites there are also eggs
q 'nits'' Of these same pests. A sec
end treatment should be given about
eoe week after the first. BY this time
the ''nits'' will be hatehed and the
treatment will affect them while it did
not kill the "nits'' at the first app2ea-
ton 49,.
These suggestions followed out will
relieve the hen of the greater number
OF parasites and will enable her to
make the best possible use Of her feed
and time. It - not profitable to feed
. hen when lice or mites are sapptne

Origin Of Word "Yank,"
Applied to Americans in
the War Against Germany

The nickname "Yank," as applied to
the American expeditionary force SOL
diery, has something Of charm in the
tradition of the word, says a writer
in Stars and Stripes. Persons inter-
ested in the history of words may have
noted with interest a footnote In
Cooper's 1.-THE Deerslayer."
It Is singular there should be any
question concerning the origin Of the
well-known sobriQuet of "Yankee."
Nearly all the old writer's who speak
of the Indians first known to the COL
onists make them pronounce the word
"English" as "Yengeese." Even at this
day it is a provincialism of New Eng
land to say ''English" instead of ling
lish," and there is a close conformity
of sound between English" and "Yen-
geese" more especially If the latter
word, as was probably the case, be
pronounced short.
The transition from ''Yengeese," thus
pronounced, to "Yankees'' is quite
easy. If the former is pronounced
'Yangis" it is almost identical with
yankees" and Indian words have sell
dom been spelled as they are pro-
nounced. The liquids of the
Indians would easily convert EN- into
'Yen,"

Farmers Borrow Large Sum
From Government Farm Loan
Banks Since Organization

Farmers have borrowed >$139, 378, 900
from the twelve federal farm loan
banks since their organization In
March. 1917. In reporting this the
farm loan board announced that capt.

scribed mainly by the government, has
increased from 100000 to SIS. 975,-
600 through additional subscriptions
by farm loan associations, and that
bonds amounting to $14O.122,00 have
been issued.
The farmers are making their pay
ments promptly. The report shows
only $4,000 in loans was overdue, and
delinQuencies occurred almost entirely
In sections where there had been crop
failures.
Three banks, Wichita, Spokane and
Houston, have an actual surplus, and
the Spokane and st. Paul banks will
begin shortly to repay the government

Tornadoes occur in the Mississippi,

ton of this area is more apt to suffer
than another, the experts assert. This
valley opens to the warm waters OF
the gulf on the south and is ciosed In
on the west by the high WALL Of the
Rocky mountains. Warm, moisture"
laden winds from the guh move north

and encounter the cold north ana

opposing currents meet there Is some
times formed one of those rapidly re-

Recent Investigations BY DR.. klemm

to be due to formation Of soaplike com

of trying to enforce regulation:
upon people at peace is evident to all
Another recommendation is revision
of tariff schedules to afford protection
to farm products equal to the protec
ton of manufactured products. In the
last general revision of the tariff the
interests of the farmer were sacrificed
by removing protection on farm pro
ducts. There is no justice in such dis
elimination. Collective bargaining by
the farmer is just as necessary as col
lective bargaining by labor and the
great food producing forces of the coun
try should enjoy equality with other
productive bodies.
Safeguarding the purchasers of ami
NAL foods, commercial fertilizers and
all farm seeds is necessary. The pure
food law protects to some extent the
purchasers of human foods and con.
diments but it should be extended to
protect all materials used in food pro.
duction
Just laws to encourage production
next season would go far towards
stable production, one of the most es.
