ing. Chickens on free range obtain considerable food, such as worms and bugs. which help to reduce the cost of feeding.
 Poultrymen should exercise every effort to maintain clean and sanitary GOODS and houses Disease most frequently starts in unelean quarters. Each house should be cleaned at least once a week, and clean sand and straw litter should De scattered over the floor. When the chicks are confined to a limited range the ground should be spaded at frequent intervals Aso as to provide fresh ground for them to scratch in. Chicks should be examined occasionally for lice or mites, and II these pests are present immediate steps should be taken against them.
 Recent experiments by the United States Department of Agriculture have shown that a very satisfactory way of ellml- rating lice from poultry is to treat each fowl separately with sodium fluorid. Com mercial sodium fluorid may be purchased at most drug stores at from 90 to 50 cents a pound, and may be applied either by the o-ca1led pinch method or by means of duster made by punching small nail toles in the bottom of a can having a tight-fitting cover or by dipping. IT the pinch method is used, the bird IS held on a table while a pinch of sodium fuorid is applied next to the skin un- der the feathers, as follows One pinch
 under the head, one on the neck two on the back, one. on the breast. one be- low the vent, one on the tail, one on each thigh. and one on the underside of each wing The feathers should be ruffled to allow the powder to get next to the skln. If the bird. is held in a large, shallow pan, the small quantity of powder which falls off will be saved. If the powder is dusted on by means of shaker the amount of sodium fluorid used may be reduced by using 4 parts of road dust or flour to 1 part of the chemical. rms method requires the services of second person to hold and turn the fowl When large numbers of birds are to be 1 treated the sodium fluorid may be used lin the form of a dip, using ounce ol 1 commercial sodium fluorid to each gailor
 of water. The bird should be held by the , wings and plunged into a tub full of the solution, leaving the head out, while the | feathers are ruffled with the hahd U
 allow the solution to penetrate to the skin l The head is then tucked once or twice land the bird allowed to stand minute l to drain and then released Dipping X just as effective as the other methods but should not be used on very weak ol young birds or in cold or damp weather.
 One pound of sodium fluorid will Urea 100 birds. Figuring persons tune at z cents an hour and the drug at 40 cent nound. it has been estimated that i costs about s1o5 to treat 100 fowls b! the pinch method.
 Poultry raisers freouently make tn' mistake of keeping old hens on thel farms and killing the younger hens an' bullets because they are unable to dls tinguish them after the bullets have ma tued. Marking the chicks when they ar' tna will helD to aNOlt this and will enable the poultryman t' determine readily the age and breedlhl
 and to keep any other records desired
 The chicks should be marked before the
 are transferred to the brooder or broo' | coop

Working on the Tick


 The cattle fever tick was subjected In April of this year to the heaviest at tack ever made in any April That IS shown by complete reports to the United States Department of Agriculture.
 In April, 1sl9 there were 5,3Ss,o15 dip- pings of cattle in the canals to prosper ity." This figure compares with S.SSO, 135 in April, 1918. The great increase in April clippings signifies determination to get rid of the parasite as soon as possible, according to offcials of the bureau of ani- nal industry.
 Special stress has been laid this year on the advantage that comes from killing ticks early in the season, before they have had chance to multiply by thousands and millions. A new record was set in March of this year, and when April follows with another record figure every reason is seen for believing that 1919 will be the biggest year ever experienced in driving out the destructive insect enemy of the cattle industry in the south.
 The unprecedented number of clippings in April was made possible by the fact that more dipping vats were available. Those in use this year number\l S0,1o0, compared with 4,379 in April. 1918 Wher- ever dipping vat goes in for effective use the cattle tick goes out.
 The big increases in Texas and Florida are regarded as particularly notable, in- dicating aggressive work in these states with much quarantined territory. The healthy gain in Alabama is credited large ly to the operation of the new statewide compulsory dipping law. Decreases in Mississippi and South Carolina are due to the fact that these states have been released from federal quarantine and are TOW conducting hopping work in To- oally infested areas; in Louisiana, to less infestaton than year ago; in Oklahoma, to the work being centered in counties that have less cattle than the counties that were dipping in April, 1918; and in North Carolina, whe~a the work has re- gently heen reorganiZed.

Community Transformed

II f .
 How Cooperation transformed com munity is told by the Camp Creek Fro gressive Farmers club of Wayne county, West Virginia. About 30 of the 10 farmers in the neighborhood are members of the agricultural club which was organized to better conditions.
 .'Where there was formerly strife and dissension in our neighborhood there IS now harmony" says the club. Before the club was organized 20 bushels Of corn to the acre was the average yeild, but now 50 to 75 bushels are grown. Where we formerly raised six bushels Of wheat to the acre we now raise 16; where we formerly used bushes of fertilizer we now use tons; and where we formerly owned low grade of live stock we now own a much better grade.
 These are some of the results of coop eration where the whole community has W orked together.

Club Boys Everywhere

From an Exchange. There were club boys on the hillside, There were club boys on the plain. And the country found them ready At the call for meat and grain. Let none forget their service As the club boys pass alone, For. although the war is over, They are singing still this song. The chorus comes like a cataract: Keep the home COW milking,
 And the club corn silking;
 Tell the idle boys and girls
 To work for home.
 There's club pig growing,
 While the grain we're sowing
 Boost the club work night and day
 Till we Tive at home.~

Good Year For Honeybees

Honey bees had a favorite winter in 191S- 19 and began this year with promising auspices The winter losses of colonies were 94 per cent, with which may be compared 1S.7 per cent in 1917-1S and H. as the average for the preceding three years.
 In the spring of this year the number O., working colonies was almost per cent above the number of 1917, and their condition is the best of the last four years. Honey plants, also, have high condition.

The potato industry is seriously men aced by a malady new to this country the potato wart disease. Unless it can be eradicated before it spreads to com mercial plantings, specialists of the De- partment of Agriculture say it will cost potato growers millions annually. It is easily recognized and when discovered it should be promptly reported to federal or state agricultural officials
 Like many other plant diseases and insect pests, the potato wart disease was imported from Europe. It is without doutt the most serious potato disease yet discovele ed in the United States. Un- less promptly suppressed it may prove disastrous to the entire American po- tato industry, which involves nearly half A billion collars annually.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Two bright spots reduce the menace of this disease-except in its early stages, it Ifs easily recognized; and it spreads slowly
 However, it cannot be detected until the potatoes are dug, as it does not seri- ously affect the growth or vigor of the vines.
 It usually appears in the eyes of the tubers Spreading from this point of in lection, it may gradually enve1op the whole potato, and render it a spongy varty mass It is characterized by the prominent wart-lilIe outgrowths on the tubers.
 The warts at first are whitish or light brown. Eventually they turn to darker

prefer to have their trees set out
under the direction of a forest seTv-
ice expert Trees may be obtained
for from rs cents to 81 where the
property owners do their own plant
ing.
Property owners need not enter
into a contract with the city to water
their trees during the summer and
early fall. This arrangement was in
tended mainly for the owners of I'M
improved real estate who might de-
sire to enhance the appearance of
their lots but would be unable to do
so if watering facilities were not
made available.
Applications for watering service
should be made to the Chamber of
Commerce direct, not to the tree
planting commission. Also, all re-
quests for information pertaining to
tree planting matters should be made
to the secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce.
The solicitors to whom certificates
have been issued are already at work,
and it is hoped that orders will be
booked for at least 1000 trees.

How Colds Are Contracted.

Colds are due to bacterial germs
that are usually present in the air
passages of the throat and nose of
healthy persons. Under ordinary con-
ditions they do no harm but when you
get chilled, very tired or eat too
much so as to weaken your resistance
they are quick to take advantage of
it and almost before you know it
you have a cold. Get a bottle of
Chamberain's Cough Remedy and
take it according to the plain printed
directions and you will soon be rid
of it, but when you neglect it look out.
Some of the most serious diseases re-
suit from neglected colds.

LAND MARK GONE

The Fleming Gazette says: Friday
morning the old town pump and the
concrete work about it, in front Of
the Masonic building, preliminary to
beginning work on the concrete water
table along Main Cross street. The old
we'll, which is one of the land marks
of the city, will no longer be used, as
the flow of water from It in recent
years has been light and of no value,
probably due to other wells which
have been put down in the vicinity and
which have likely had the effect Of
draining 1t. The spring which sup
piled the we'll was a fine one in tho
early days of Flemingsburg. The town
was located near It because of Its fine
supply Of water. On the corner near
It where the Masonic building now
stands was the first hotel in Flemings-
burg, log building which got its sup
ply Of water from the spring. Sever
al years ago trace of refined oil to
be found In the water which came
from the well, causing considerable
oil excitement here and leading some
Of our people to believe we had a vast
oil field in our midst. The oil flow
never amounted to anything however,
and 1t was accounted for by some by
leaky oil tank In the cellar of an
adjoining store. Others never could
explain from whence the oil came
