D,,SSiiNFECTANTS
FOR THE POULTRY

Good disinfectants destroy the germs
Of contagious diseases, the external
parasites, such as lice and mites, and
in some cases the eggs of parasitic
worms. The eggs of some kinds OF
worms are so resistant that disinfect-
ants other than heat have little effect
upon them. The disinfectants should
be thoroughly applied to the interior
of the houses, worked into the crev-
ices spread over the ceiling and the
floor, the roosts, dropping boards and
nest boxes. At the same time the
feeding and drinking troughs should
be disinfected by pouring boiling wa
ter into them and afterward drying
them In the sun. Disinfectants are
most easily applied to the walls and
ceilings with spray pump or by using
a brush AS it is difficult to keep them
from coming in contact with the face
and hands, the more harmless Of the
mixtures should generally be used.
Ordinarily limewash made from fresh
ly slaked lime is excellent, and its
properties are well known to all. In
the case OF an actual outbreak of viru-
lent disease it is well to add to the
limewash six ounces of crude carbolic
acid to each gallon, to increase it's ac-
tivity as disinfectant.

Finest Dogskin Clothes Come
From Manchuria and Mongolia

Dogskins are made up into rugs for
sleeping mats and clothing. The hair
is long and thick and Of all colors,
from rich black through all shades
and combinations Of brown, yellow
and gray to pure white. The last are
the finest. There are thousands Of dog
farms dotted over southwestern Man
churia and eastern Mongolia, where
from twenty to some hundreds Of dogs
are raised annually as a source Of
wealth; for example, a bride will have
as her dowry number Of dogs in pro-
portion to her fathers means. No
where else In the world are found
such splendid dogskins-for size,
length Of hair and QuaHty-as the ex-
treme cold develops there. A full
sized robe is by 68 inches, taken
from eight dogs. The dogs are cruelty
strangled when eight months old, in
midwinter, the coats being then at
their best. The export In 1915 was
$4,000 pieces.

Uses Blocks Of Ice in
Making Hollow Concrete

According to the Bruckenbau, the
completely inclosed. which has hither-
to only been possible within certain
limits, is made easier by the new pat
ent system of Stefan Rohm Of Munich
who proposes to inclose block Of Ice
of the required shape in concrete. OF
course, small openings or channels
would be left, by means Of which the
thaw water could escape. In this way
it is possible to produce not only small
concrete bodies with hollow center but
large ones as well. The process can
be applied to artificial stone.

No Horses, Only Tractors
Are Used to Work 2ccc, co
tvfes II indian Farm Land

Wheat will be harvested next fall
from one Of the worlds largest farms
comprising about 100000 acres Of In
dian lands in Montana and Wyoming.
On this huge farm not horse will
be used. Instead, large tractors capable
Of turning over large quantities OF
prairie sod were purchased. In all 81
of these machines are now the prop
erty of the corporation, and the plow-
ing record for last summer was more
than one acre minute for the work
ing time. On one day 1880 acres were
turned and broken.
OF this big tract, about $4,000 acres
Of irrigated land have been plowed
and seeded, and the remainder it is an
nounced will be cultivated during the
coming summer.
The land Is located on the Crow,
Blackfeet and Fort Peck reservations
In Montana and the Wing river reser-
walton in Wyoming. To make this
land productive corporation with $2,.
100000 capital was organized last
spring. when Thomas D. Campbell, a
North Dakota farmer, conceived the
idea Of cultivating the thousands Of
acres Of the Indian lands in Montana
and Wyoming.
Campbell lacked capital, but OBJ
tained the approval and assistance OF
the secretary Of the interior, Franklin
K. Lane, and ]. P. Morgan and other
leading New York bankers. The cor
poration was then formed with several
Of these bankers as members Of the
board Of directors and Campbell was

Will Shoot ProjectiIes
Entirely Off the Earth

In a detailed scientific discussion
Of the German long-range gun which
bombarded Paris last SPRING Maj. 4.
Naturalization, writing in the Jour-
nal of the Royal Artillery, takes a
peep into the future, observes the Sci
entific American, and considers the
possibility Of a gun capable of shoot
ing projectiles entirely off the earth
into space, la Jules Verne. The
requisite velocity Of such gun is not,
he says, SO very much higher than
what has already been achieved; viz.
a muzzle velocity Of mile per second.
When we are able to increase this to
five miles per second, the projectile,
If fired at a suitable angle, will travel
around the earth, as a grazing satel-
lite, completing its orbit between IL
and 18 times daily. With a velocity
of about seven miles second, it will
move Off into space, never to return.

SENATOR REEDS DIATRIBE.

The Caucasian has received by
mail a copy of Senator Reeds
speech, so-called, appearing in th'
Congrf, ,;sional Record. 1t is OF the
Raar tenor, which is remarkable
chiefly Tor the malignity directed a
President Wilson. If this assault!
60 words OR the executive Of th'
nation were eXlsressed by some rad
eal Republican fog political FEC
there could be offered some plea OF
extenuation for such action, but
when enunciated with studious de-
liberation from a Democrat, 81
lisses. such conduct is not only rep
rehensible, but is outrageous.
8his attitude of Senator Reed Is
NOT surprising, but is in keeping
with his opposition to everything
with which President Wilson has
been and is connected in the per-
formance of his official functions
as the head of this nation.
Nor has the president in his per-
sonal capacity escaped the venom
GUS criticism of this Democrat
whose distemper, on the order of a
Sull. iS reused to fury when con-
sronted by anything which is Will
son.
In his diatribe, reviewing the
proposed League Of Nations, Sena-
cor Reed has asserted that the
United States would be outvOted
by monarchies and despotism of Eu-
rope-Which evoked, as reported,
the enthusiastic applause by Sen
ators poindexter, Borah, Lodge and
other Republicans who apparently
are the colleagues of the gentle
man from Missouri, especially when
he is engaged in relieving himself
of his political spleen.
AS contrast to these unjusti-
fable attacks on the president OF
the United States, there may be
cited his approval by the British
as well as the French and Italian
press. 1t is conceded that there
has been some active discussion OF
the proposed League of Nations,
but the conclusions reached, have
been reported as being satisfactory
No principle, no ideal cherished
by the United States is to be yielded
OF all the men who are or have
been connected officially with the
government, whose opinion or de-
claration which one would have the
greatest weight with the people of
the United States, Taft, or Reed or
Borah, or Poindexter or Cabot or
other Republicans who are affected
with the presidential itch?
This answer, without hesitation
would be Taft And when a man.
and such a man being Taft, is in
full accord with President Wilson's
peace league policies, Senator Reed
may be sized as pigmy, whose
chief stock in his political yocabu-
larry is detraction, enmity prompted
by spleen. No great things can be
expected from such man.
