Make Pin furniture

Nov we are going to tell you
N how to make some novel FUR
~ niture for your doll house.
Get a few black-headed pins and a
spool of colored twist. Then you
can find some scraps of velvet or
satin or other cloth, also a tiny
pasteboard box or a cork stopper.
Perhaps with a diagram in front OF
you you won't need to be told how
to go to work. But in case you
should be puzzled, here are the di-
rections:
Have good box or thin, round
piece of cork for the seat. Cork is
best, because the pins go III 1t so
much better. You can easily cut a
slice from round cork stopper.
Cover with the velvet or cloth.
Then stick in the pins for the back
and twist the thread around them;
lastly, stick four pins for the legs.
After you have made a chair you
will find that you can easily make
almost any other article Of furnf-
ture in the same way.

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 a
war measure will not cease because the
war is over. The United States grain
corporation takes over the existing or
ganization as of June 30. and the ex-
perts of the bureau of chemistry who
have developed the work will be loaned
to the grain corporation by the depart
ment of agriculture. II Is work that
has resulted In the practical elimina-
ton of big fires from grain dust explo-
sion, which were Of frequent occur
renee before the department began its
campaign of education and supervis-
ion. The director of the United States
grain corporation, In a letter to the
department, said that he regards Its
continuance as "a necessity for the
prevention of fire loss in the country"
particularly for the large stocks Of
grain carried In storage by the grain
corporation at its own risk-the wheat,
mainly, for which the government has
guaranteed an initial basic price to the
farmer of $2.26 bushel. The dlrec-
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.

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-
stun permanganate as will remain on
the surface Of dime.
Chicken Pox.--Put 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.
Bumblefoot.-When the feet are bad
ly 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.
scaly Legs.-Apply vaseline contain

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.
Disinfeet Buildings Thoroughly.
1t is also essential, just before the
pullets are quartered In their new
location, to clean out and dislnfect
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-
ciently 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
tion that the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, at the govern
ment experiment farm, Beltsville, Nd,
kept a number of hens for a period Of
over three years on 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 30 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

damp litter causes colds. roup, and
other diseases.

Pullet love of home and content
ment with simple surroundings, no
matter how humble, make II 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 PuiIets to Winter Quarters.
Timellness-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. 1t is just as essential that
the egg-produclng squads be properly
quartered for the winter season as
early 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, II 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 1t 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 a mild climate I'm addition to
comfortable quarters need only about
one and one-half to three square feet
of floor space apiece. 1t Is important
