HINTS FOR the
POULTRY GROWER
Collecting the Bugs at = Nest.

The unsightly scaly legs and feet
n many farm hens are another point
of attack for the poultryman who Is
looking for higher egg production from
hif flock. The scales are caused by
very small mites which dig under the
skin on the hens shanks and toes and
push up the skin by the deposit Of
scurf which they leave underneath.
The scales finally become loose. fall
Of. and are succeeded by more scales.
The disease makes the fowls legs un-
comfortable and even sore, thus keep
Ing the hen from scratching and get
ting the exercise necessary TO good
health. When the hens health suffer-.
egg production Is lowered. Hens ar
eected by the disease rarely lay many
eggs and they spend much time stand-
Ing Idle. with their sore legs kept
carefully still. They are likely to
lose weight and may even die.
Dipping the legs Of the fowl In .
mixture Of equal parts Of kerosene
and linseed oil is the simplest and
most effective method of curing the
disease. says J. G. HalpIn Of the ioui-
try department. Wisconsin Coiieg. 81
Agriculture. The application should
oe repeated two or three times In
very severe cases. Early treatment
,f the disease will keep II from spread
ing through the flock.

Are se Numerous q scoop 10 Used for

The sensation Of taste. while Of
common and constant experience, is
highly complicated In Its nature. What
is commonly called taste Is not q
simple sensation at all. but rather 4
complex. In addition to the actual
functloning Of the apparatus properly
pertaining to the sense OF taste. the
tongue receives Impressions Of vari.
Gus other sorts, all Of which go TO
make up this complex. As finally re-
corded In the consciousness, the taste
OF any substance has to do with ita
heat or coolness, perhaps with q mild
amount Of pain. certainly with as
tringency or acridity-which are in
themselves further complexes Of ther-
mic and tnctiie sensations-and above
all with smell. The reader will prob
ably agree that Ice cream and coffee
are entirely different from their true
selves when served at Inappropriate
temperatures: and II II matter Of

"The Pan American Aeronautlcs
Convention and exhibition to be held

May will bring to the attention Of the
American people the wonderful pro-
gress of aviation. The work of air
craft during the war establishes its
practicability for commercial uses and
insures the creation In this country Of
complete aerial service, connecting
all cities and towns for the transpOr-
tation Of persons, mail and merchan-
disc.
Before the close of 1920 l conf
IDENTIFY predict this service will be In
full operation, with extensions to nll
countries on this hemisphere. In the
United States trunk lines will be es-
tablished across the country which will
place every city and town within six
hours from some twenty-four distrlb-
uting points. Once created and in op-
Grafton our extensive coast line could
be put under complete protection from
any possible invasion. Thousands Of
college trained aviators In and out Of
the service are now waiting to join In
the operation Of an aerial service.
