HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

Cholera and blackhead, common
nestle poultry die, but most commonly
chickens and turkeys, has no real
name in poultry annals, though on
making diagnosis of the dead birds
often 1t is called cholera, blackhead
and a few other names, when, after
all, 1t is merely acute Inflammation Of
the intestines caused by feeding con-
stipating food. says one person.
1t Is true that fowls after eating
drastic poisons, will show up with the
same intestinal Inflammation, but 1t
Is more commonly due to feeding Il
too-heavily concentrated ration. 1t Is
the mysterious disease that so often
kills hogs. calves and sheep. In the
first 1t Is, us in poultry, too often at
tributed to cholera, and the owner
goes on feeding in the old way instead
of giving the flock, or the herd, plenty
of pure water at all hours to quickly
pass the concentrated food on to quick
elimination, helped on by regular
doses of EPSON salts.
This neglect is more apparent with
poultry than other stock. Corn Is one
of the feeds most sure to bring on
this condition, If fed in large quanti-
ties to any kind of stock. With poul'
try. as with other stock. and especially

more than the ordinary kind. The
door, made to fit closely and mounted
on brass hinges, can be fastened with

solid, but the top should be covered

placed at desired intervals. A bread
baking pan, II by 10 inches. is placed
on the top and the frame rests In n
17-inch by 1S-inch pan.
All of the woodwork, the shelves,
and the pans should receive two coats
of white paint and one or two coats of
white enamel. This makes an attrac-
tive surface and one that can be cas-
fly kept clean. The screen wire also
may receive the coats of enamel,
which will prevent it from rusting.
A cover Of canton flannel, burlap,
or duck is made to fit the frame. Put
the smooth side out If canton flannel
is used. 1t will require about three
yards of material. This cover is but

Jack Frost has been depended on
by many people in northern states to
furnish them with the larger part of
their ice supply. But last winter Jack
went on strike for many days, and
country districts will experience diff
Guilty in obtaining even a limited
amount of artificial ice. Where ice
Is not obtainable an iceless refrigera-
tor, homemade, will be found useful
to keep meat, fruit and vegetables
cool. 1t will extend the keeping peri
cd for milk and butter and serve also
as a cooler for drinking water.
In homes where large quantities of
milk and butter are to be kept, it
would be well to have one refrigerator
for milk and butter, and another for
other foods, as milk and butter readily
absorb odors from other foods. 1t
costs very little to build the refrigera-
tor and nothing to operate it.

latch side of the door, allowing a
wide hem of the material to overlap
the place where the door closes. The
door can then be opened without un.
buttoning the cover. The bottom of
the cover should extend down into the
lower pan. Four double strips, which
taper to s or 10 inches in width, are
sewed to the upper part of the cover.
These strips form wicks that dip over
into the upper pan.
The dimensions given make refrig-
orator of convenient size for house
hold use and one with efficient evapor-
ating surface, but it is not necessary
to follow strictly these dimensions
If larger capacity is desired, the
height of the refrigerator can be in
creased.
How It Operates.
Operation of the refrigerator shown
in the illustrations is as simple as its
construction. The lowering of tenn
perature inside the refrigerator de-
pends upon the evaporation of water.
To change water from liquid to
vapor, or to bring about evaporation,
place heat is taken from the inside
of the refrigerator, thereby lowering
the temperature of the inside and the
contents.
Keep the upper pan (illed with wa
ter. The water is drawn by capillary
attraction through the wicks and sat
urates the cover. Capillary action
starts more readily If the cover is first
dampened by dipping 1t into water or
throwing water upon it with the hand.
The greater rate OF evaporation the
lower the temperature which can be
secured; therefore the refrigerator
works best when rapid evaporation
takes place. When the refrigerator is
placed in shady place in strong
breeze and the air is warm and dry.
evaporation goes on continuously and
rapidly and the temperature inside
the refrigerator Is reduced. Under
| ideal conditions the temperature has
been known to be reduced to 80 de-
grees +. When the air is damp the re-
frigerator will not work as well, since
| there Is not enough evaporation. More
water will find its way to the lower
pan, but 1t will be drawn up into the
covering by capillary attraction when
the air becomes drler
| Care Of Refrigerator.
The refrigerator should be regularly
cleaned and summed. II the frame
] work, shelves, and pans are white en-
ameled they can more easily be kept
in n sanitary condition. 1t is well to
have two covers, so that a fresh one
can be used each week and the soiied
one washed and summed.

New York, July 9.-President Will
son returned to the United States, and
in his first speech delivered on Ameri-
can soil since the peace treaty was
signed declared that the peace con-
cluded at Paris was IA just peace
which, If it can be preserved will
safeguard the world from unnecessary
blcodshed." The only reference the
L. >sident made to his political oppo-
nents was when in referring to the
negotiations at Paris he said: Il am
afraid some people do not understand
that vision. They do not see it. They
have looked too much upon the
ground They have thought too much
of the interests that were near them,
and they have not listened to the
voices of their neighbors. have never
had moments doubt as to where
the heart and purpose of this people
lay"
The President landed at the Hobo
ken army pier. The army transport
George Washington, on which he
sailed from Brest, was escorted up the
bay by the battleship Pennsylvania
and more than a score of destroyers
and smaller naval craft. On the New
Jersey shore, the state which first
| hOnored Mr.. Wilson with a political
office, were massed 10000 school chill
dren, who welcomed the chief execu-
tive of the nation to the strains of the
national anthem.
Through the lines of the children,
| all dressed in white, the President
passed to the ferry which carried MIN
to the Manhattan side of the river.
When he arrived in New York he was
greeted by the official reception COM
mittee, headed by Governor Smith and
Mayor Hylan. From the ferry termi-
nal to Carnegie Hall, distance Of
about three miles, the presidential
party passed through streets lined
with cheering thousands of men, wom-
en- and children who thronged the
sidewalks and filled every available
window and rooftop.
From the upper windows of the
business skyscrapers great showers of
confetti rained upon the President and
Mrs. Wilson, literally millions of
scraps Of paper floating through the
air.
The head of the procession was
formed by several companies of SOL
diers and marines, followed by some
hundreds of sailors. Immediately pre-
ceding the presidential car was an au-
tomobile filled with secret service
men, and the car itself was guarded
In the car with President Wilson
were Mrs. Wilson. Governor Smith

mained standing, raising his hat con-
stantly in response to the wave of
cheering which rolled along the route
of march. At one point on Twenty
third street, opposite large factory
building, the windows of which were
filled with girl workers, the President
seized an American flag and waved it
vigorously in Acknowledgement of the
girls cheering.
A couple of hundred automobiles,
carrying cabinet members, n congress

of the state and civil government, be-
sides diplomatic representatives of the

GROWERS
 TRADING ON THE
 WORLDS MISERY
This Is Kansas Governors View of Effort to Limit Acreage to Maintain
 Price
By Associated Pres,

Topeka, Kan, March A.-The5 cotton growers of the south, in their Efforts to limit the acreage of cotton t maintain high prices are trading upon the mis- cry of the world Gov. Henry J. Allen charged today in letter refusing an invitation from the South Carolina Cot ton association to attend a conference at which reports of the campaign to reduce cotton acreage will be received.
 The letter was addressed to J. s. Wan namaker, Columbia, s. C.. chairman of the association
 Easing his conclusions upon govern ment crop reports, Governor Allen esti- as much money with cotton at 5 cents q pound as Kansas farmers are making from their wheat.
 Kansas farmers are doing everything in their power to increase the wheat yield so that every one may have bread, but it seems that the cotton growers are trying at the same time to prevent the same people from having clothes" he declared.
 That any group of men, while the world is still grapplng with the tremen- dous problems arising from shortage of staple commodities, should begin a de- liberate organization to retard produc- ton, is unspeakable,' he continued
 Tt would be just as baleful for the farmers of Kansas, the corn farmers of Iowa, the hog raisers of Illinois, or the live stock producers of Texas to. delb- erately combine to create a shortage in foodstuffs that sthe famine of the world would pay them toll as for the cottor interests of the south to combine for that purpose.
 For these reasons and because I ut terly lack sympathy with the purpose ol the meeting, I will not be able to accept the invitation,'' he concluded.

MACHINES AT ROCKAWAY uv Aseoctsted press

New York, March 24.-Three or the seanlanes with which the navy do- partment plans to attempt its trans atlantic flight are now at the naval ar station at Rockaway Beach, from where the flight will start They. are 1snoun ;s the N-C-1 type of machine. The fourth plane is under construc- tion at the manufacturing plant at the Curtiss Airplane and Motor corporation sin Garden City.
 Minor changes are now being nlaue fn all machines at Rockaway beacn hut it ie expected trial flights will be made within a week or 10 days and the aetl,aI transatlantic flight started soon after May | At least two of the three machines at Rockaway already nave been flown.
 Lieut.. John T. Towers is in com mand of the preparations being made at Rockaway Beach. Each of the three seaplanes there is equipped with three Iiberty motors, having 1000 to 120o combined horse power. Experiments Nare now being made in the arrange ment of the motors, but it is beHevea that the final choice will provlde TOT two tractor or pulling" propellers ana one ..pushing' propeller. There will De four Liberty motors in the fourth plane. now under construction, and these will be arranged in the so-caiied "tandem type" that is two tractor ana two "pusher' motors.
 The speed of the first three sea- planes has been estimated by tEs builders at 100 miles an hour and 1t x said that at least one of the planes has made approximately that speed m trial flights.
 The original gasoline consumption proyided for a sustained flight ot ie hours. but changes in the design or the huh interior have allowed for lE : creased storage space substantially ia- creasing the gasoline capacity.
 Other changes in the original design contemplate lowering the pilots sta ton nearer the pontoon. So as to facil'- tate and render less dangerous the changing of pilots in flight. The ma. chimes have a wing spread of ap- proximately 126 feet. s inches. and tue wings are 12 feet wide.
 Ii Is believed that each plane Will carry a minimum crew of six men. two of whom will be pilots and the others Z mechanics and observers. Quarters fer the crew. when not engaged in the ac- tual operation of the machine or ,ts repair in flight. have been provided in the hull.
 It is expected that the machine will f1y at a high altitude to take advan. tare of the westerly winds. and tle crew will be equipped with heating and respiratory appartus to allow them to withstand the cold and rari- fled atmosphere.
