PREVENTION OF GRAIN FIRES
Work Inaugurated by Department OF
Agriculture as War Measure
Will Be Continued.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The work inaugurated by the United
States department Of agriculture In
the prevention of grain dust explosions
and fires in mills and elevators as
war measure will not cease because the
war is over. The United States grain
CORPORATION takes over the existing or
ganizatlon as Of June 30. and the ex-
perts Of the bureau Of chemistry VINO
have developed the work will be loaned
to the grain corporation by the depart
ment of agriculture. 1t Is work that
has resulted in the practical elimina-
ton of big fires from grain dust expio-
sion, which were of frequent occuf-
renee before the department began It's
campaign Of education and supervis-
ion. The director of the United States
grain corporation, in letter to the
department, said that he regards its
continuance as "a necessity Tor the
prevention of fire loss In the country
rarticularly for the large stocks OF
grain carried in storage by the gram
CORPORATION at its own risk-the wheat
mainly, for which the government has
guaranteed an initial basic price TO the
farmer of 1925 bushel. The direc-
tor asked that some arrangement be
made by which his organization could
bear the expense Of carrying on the
work. - The department. approved OF
the plan and the work is now under
way.

PROVIDE WATER FOR HORSES
Driver Usually Has Two or More
Refreshing Drinks During Day
but Team ls Neglected.

Walter Moore, a well-known writer,
says: ut is common thing for farm
ers to work their horses in the hay
field from morning to night. watering
them only at noon. This is done even
on days of excessive heat. The driver
usually has two or more refreshing
drinks in the middle Of the morning,
and again in the afternoon; but the
horses, who are equally as thirsty, go
without. This want Of water is not
only distressing. but 1t causes the
horses to drink to excess at noon and
again at night, which often results In
collie, and always tends to produce a
distended stomach, or what farmers
call hay belly Farmers who would
treat their horses humanely should
take water into the field for them In
hot weather"

TREATMENT FOR DISEASES
COMMON AMONG CHICKENS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
All diseased birds should be isO'
lated.
Colds and Roup.-Disinfect the
drinking water as follows: To each
gallon Of water add one tablespoonful
Of sodium sulphite or as much potas-
SUM permanganate as will remain on
the surface of dime.
Chicken Pox.-Put a touch Of iodine
on each sore and apply carbolated vas
cline.
Gapes.-Fresh ground and vigorous
cultivation will often remedy this trou-
BILE, which is caused by small cape
worms that live in the soil and attach
themselves to the inside Of the throat.
Diarrhea. In Hens.-Low-grade wheat
flour or middlings is good for this trou-
BILE. A teaspoonful Of castor oil con-
tanning FIVE drops of oil of .turpentine
to each fowl Is also good.
BumbIefoot.-When the feet are bad
" swollen small cut should be made
with clean, sharp knife and the pus
removed. Wash the wound out with
equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and
water, grease with vaseline, and band
age.
LImberneck.-A teaspoonful Of cas-
tor oil given to the fowl will some
times effect a cure. 4,
scaly Legs.-Apply vaseline contain
ing 2 per cent of creolin to the affect
ed parts and after "a hours soak In
warm, soapy water. Repeat treatment
until cured. ~

to have all the roosts In the winter
house on the same level. Otherwise
the birds will crowd to the highest
positions to the extent that the weak
er, ones may be seriously injured. as
the stronger birds are sure to gain
possession of the desirable perches.
Disinfect Buildings Thoroughly.
1t is also essential, just before the
pullets are quartered in their new
location, to clean out and disinfect
the buildings thoroughly and to pro-
vide plenty of clean. dry litter. The
house should be scrutinized carefully
as to need for repairs. Be sure that
the sides, ends and roof are weather
proof, and the building Is open suffi-
GENTLY in front that it will not sweat
from inadequate ventilation.
AS rule, the same ration that
makes growth also produces plenty Of
eggs, so that 1t Is not necessary to
make much change in the pullet
dietary at the approach of cold
weather. 1t is worthy of special men,
ton that the United States depart
ment of agriculture, at the govern
ment experiment farm, Beltsville, Nd,
kept number of hens for period of
over three years on a ration which
contained no wheat, or wheat prod
ucts and got good production. The
federal specialists have maintained
the production in their flocks by the
proper and scientific use Of corn and
oats in the ration, feeding two parts
of cracked corn to one part of oats
night and morning, while they used
three parts of cornmeal and one part
of beef scraps as the scratch mixture
kept before the hens at all times.
Last year 80 hens fed in this manner
made an average yield Of IA eggs,
while the same individual hens yielded
over 200 eggs during the II months
When the fall rains are on In full,
every poultryman should be sure to
protect the exposed end Of his poultry
house so that the rain cannot beat In
and wet the bedding and litter, as
damp litter causes colds. roup, and
other diseases.

WHEN HONEY BEE WILL STING
Persons Dressed In Black Garments
Should Exercise Caution In
Handling Insects.

Dark colors seem to be more often
sive to bees than light, and the per-
son dressed in, dark garments should
show more caution when handling
these useful insects. Offensive odors
are also Objectionable TO them, and the

discretion in making himself familiar

Pullet love of home and content
ment with simple surroundings no
matter how humble. make 1t advisable
to transfer the prospective layers from
the range to the winter quarters early
enough In the fall that they will be
thoroughly accustomed to their new
quarters before they begin to lay.
Many practical poultrymen neglect
this precaution and maintain their
birds under range conditions almost
up to the beginning of cold weather
with the consequence that egg laying
Is retarded and often jeopardized.
Accustom PuIlets to Winter Quarters.
Timeliness-and timeliness means
to do today the jobs Of today-is
highly essential in the fall moving of
the flock. The owner of exhibition
fowls would never neglect to feed and
condition his birds for the exhibition
circuit. II is just as essential that
the reproducing squads be properly
Quartered for the winter season as
carly as possible consistent with the
most progressive poultry management.
This means to accustOm the pullets to
their cold-weather home before they
begin to lay. =
When pullets are moved to the win
ter quarters at the right time they
soon become reconciled to their new
surroundings and begin to lay with
out any interruption. On the other
hand, if they are kept out on the
range until they attain maturity,
when they finally are moved to the
cold-weather houses their laying abil-
ity is so seriously checked that the
birds do not produce any eggs for sew
eral weeks and in some instances do
not lay again for some months.
Where the mature hens are to be
confined closely all winter it Is essen
tial to provide three to four square
feet of flour space for each bird, while
fowls having free access to range all
winter in q mild climate in addition to
comfortable quarters need only about
one and one-half to three square feet
of floor space apiece. 1t Is important

the covering of the pit need not be as

Another good method of storing cab
bage is illustrated in figure 1. The
plants are pulled, roots and all, and
set side by side with the roots down in
a shallow trench, the length of which
corresponds to the width of the bed.
The bed may be any width up to 8 or
10 feet and as long as necessary to
hold the number of cabbages to be
stored. Cover the roots with earth.
Around the bed erect a frame Of rails.

stakes into the ground so that an in

moving portions of the stored product
from one end Of the pit. This type of
storage Is inexpensive and gives good

Earth Mound 10 Best.
For cabbages and turnips the earth
mound Is better storage place than
the cellar. Both turnips and cabbages
give off odors that, If stored In the
cellar, will permeate the house and
become very disagreeable. The meth
cd Of storing cabbages may vary some
what from the regular pit or mound.
A very satisfactory method is to pull
the plants, roots and all, and place
them In long pit, either on their
sides or with the heads down, then
cover lightly with straw and layer
of earth. A few heads may be re-
moved from time to time without dis
turbing the remainder of the pit. An
other good method Is to pull the heads,
roots and all, and set them side by
side, with the roots down, In shallow
trenches, making a bed Of whatever
