The past week has been n o
great activity Of the farm bureau

arrangements whereby the sheer

one boy to Chicago who was nm

showed a great interest in the work
and we hope to give some more Of
this work later together with a
demonstration in the culling of
flocks for laying hens and those at
fected with tuberculosis.
This is the time Of year when the
poultry of most people are worst al
fected with lice and mites and we
are giving here some Of the most ef-
fective remedies that may be made
at home and at a practical cost. For
lice use gasoline, three parts, n
part crude carbolic acid or sheep
dip, mix liquids thoroughly and add
enough cement or plaster of Paris to
make a crumbly mass, spread out
and let the gasoline and sheep dip
eyaporate and it will be ready for
use. This is the ordinary patent
lice powder you buy on the market
at a high price. For an ointment
for lice use, n part blue ointment
to two parts vasellne, mix thorough
ly and apply at the base OF wings,
about the head and around the vent.
This may safely be used On the small
chicks as well as the older ones.
For white diarrhoea and cholera
use one five grain tablet of sodium
sulphuo carbolate to one gallon Of
water. Keep before fowls at all
time for drinking water.
Don't forget that this is the time
to apply your second spray if not a.
ready done; use the lime sulphur

five quarts and lead arsenate paste
two pounds to fifty gallons OF water
This also is the time Of year when
the striped melon or squash bug
gives so much trouble SO treat your
vines; for this use the lead arsenate
paste one pound in five gallons OF
water. Spray on the underslde or
leaves as we'll as top. You may use
this on your cucumbers and pump
kin vines also.
We wish to again call your atten-
ton to the wool growers sale day

of buyers here that day and the

CANDLES FOR THE RICH

Thomas A. Edison once predicted
that the time would come when only
the rich could afford to burn candles.
In 1915 the average American family
spent $22 a year for sperm oil and
candles, and they got 25 candlepower
lights for their money. Then came
kerosene, and this form of lighting
was only two-thirds as expensive as
candles. Gas light in the average
home, prior to 1885, cost about $34 a
year, but of course the illumination
was greatly increased as compared to
that furnished by candles and OIL The
average family is again back to the
S22 a year basis for lighting, but in
stead of Pickering candles they have
something like 1880 candlepower-
hours. When the Lord said, "Let there
be light" it must have been in con-
temptation of the present times. But
reckoned in the scale of the "cost of
living" electricity has done marvellous
things.

GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE IN.
SURANCE

In June, 1918, seventy marines fell
in battle in an attack somewhere on
the Marine. Fifty-seven of them car
ried the maximum of $4,000 insur-
ance; one wa sinsured for $4,000, and
twelve for $4,000. The government
obligation was $5OO,OOO; but it was
not case of an obligation deferred
for years until an act of congress
would recognize the claim, as with the
old pension system.
Up to the end of 1918 the United
States government had paid out to the
veterans of the Revolution, the war of
1912, Indian wars, the Mexican war,
the Civil war and the war with Spain,
the vast sum of $5,215, 528,780. In the
light of these figures it will perhaps
