WIRES BACK TO
PRIVATE OWNERS
RURLEsoN ISSUES ORDER RE-
LEASING TELEPHONE AND TEL
EGRAPH LINES

Washington. - Government control
of telegraph and telephone properties
has ended Orders for their return to
private owners were issued by Post
master General Burieson, as required
under resolution adopted by Con-
eress and signed by President VIII
son.
Mr.. Burleson, in a statement, said
sound public opinion ultimately would
determine how this trust has been
met" and that he was content to
abide by the result Besides this r2-
ply to criticisms OF his management
of the wire companies, the postmas-
ter general also took a parting shot dt
the Postal Telegraph Company, most
of the officers of which were removed
several months ago because of what
he termed interference with govern
ment management.
The postmaster general said that
with one notable exception the rea-
son for which is thoroughly under
stood by those who have kept inform
ed" every wire company had given
him loyal cooperation.
Under the resolution of Congress az
recting the return of the companies
government fixed intrastate telephone
rates are to remain in force for &
period of four months, unless sooner
changed by state commissions, but no
provision was made as to telegraph
rates.
Clarence III. MacRey, president OF
the Postal company, in urging Con-
gross to provide for speedy return or
the properties, said his company
could reduce rates 20 per cent ant,
still earn a profit
This statement was recalled in con-
nection with the return of the prop
critics and a rate war between the
telegraph companies is a possibility.
Telegraph rates were increased ap-
proximately 20 per cent last March, to
meet increased salaries TO operators
and other employees and rising costs
of materials.

Satisfactory Way Is to Treat

prepared by the United States Depart

Recent experiments by the United
States department Of agriculture have
shown that very satisfactory way
of eliminating lice from poultry is
to treat each fowl separately with So
dunn fluorid. Commercial sodium
fluorid may be purchased at most drug
stores at from 30 to go cents pound
and may be applied either by the So
called pinch" method or by means Of
a buster made by punching small nail
holes in the bottom of can having a
tlght-fittlng cover or by dipping. II
the pinch method is used, the bird is
held on table while pinch of So
dunn tluorid is applied next TO the
skin under the feathers, as follows |:
One pinch under the head, one on the
neck, two on the back, one on the
breast, one below 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 skin. II the
bird is held in large, shallow pan,
the small quantity of powder which
falls off will be saved. If the powder
is busted on by means of a shaker
the amount of sodium fiuiorid used may
be reduced bysusing four parts OF road
dust or -four to one part Of the chelni.

ices of second person to hold and

entire digestive tract without smear

The first essential is to give the

sticking it through the roof of the

After the feathers have been removed

should be cooled rapidly. When cool,

Precautions in Butchering.
Precautions to observe in butcher
ing the chicken consist in removing
the wings after cutting off the tips ut
the first joint. removing the feet, cut
ting at the knee joint; removing the
legs at the hip or saddle joints and
cutting through the connecting joints
to separate the thigh from the leg.

The practicability of shipping eggs
by parcel post is demonstrated by the
fact that more parcels of eggs than
any other one product pass through
the mails. In order to test various
methods of packing and handling eggs
the Office of Markets and Rural organ

FkTTENIHG ON SELF-FEEDERS

F'aftpn hogs on self-feeders as far
as possible Hogs fed in this way save
labor, save feed in proportion to the
gain in weight made, and are ready
for market sooner than those which
are hand fed. Less feed is actually
required TO fatten when hogs are self
fed The SYSTEM is therefore econom-
tca2 fn every respect.

pound OF grain for every three to three
and q half pounds of milk produced.
When the milk tests about 31a per
cent, the COW should receive one pound
Of grain for four to four and half
pounds of milk.
3. Dry cows should receive feed
enough to insure their being in good,
thrifty milk-producing condition when
they freshen. Poor cows drop weak,
puny calves and will not produce prop
erly, as they have to use a part Of the
feed to build up the body.
4. Cows of beefy nature should
not be fed enough to make them ex-
cessively fat when dry, as the dairy
man does not receive returns from
such feed, and excessive freshness
tends to sterility. On the other hand
there is little danger Of -overfeeding
highly-specialized dairy cows which
are not dry for more than one month
70 six weeks, as during this period any
desh put on and not essential to bod
fly vigor win be turned into milk when
they freshen.
