LICE INJURIOUS TO TURKEYS
Common Body Louise of Chickens Is

Four species of lice are commonly
found on turkeys in this country. One
of these, which occurs particularly on
turkeys associated with chickens, is
the common body louise of chickens.
This species is not found in great
numbers OIL turkeys, but it sometimes
becomes sufficiently abundant to cause
considerable irritation ana doubtless

and to the young. The shaft louise of
chickens also has been found on tur-
keys, but probably does not breed on
that host. The other two species
seem to be native to the turkey. prob
ably existing on this fowl in the wild
state. The large turkey louise prob
ably is most abundant. 1t occurs on
the feathers on various parts of the
body, especially on h neck and
breast. The slender turkey louise is
a species of good size, though rather
elongate, resembling in shape the
head louise of chickens. Normally
neither of these species is excessively
abundant, but oil crippled or unthrifty

BIG EGG LOSS PREvENTABLE

In marketing poultry and eggs there
is an enormous %preventable loss In

finally the Swiss Confederation is In Itself n sort
of League of Nations. From the practical view
point the city of Geneva is attractive, not too large,
and centrally located for many of the members of
the league.
In fact, the enthusiasts say that considering
Geneva's past, its long history full of struggles
and suffering through which it won its freedom, 1t
would appear that from all time this city has been
predestined to become the capital of the intangible
kingdom of all free peoples, united to defend, not
only their rights and liberty, but also the rights
and liberty of Others.
The requirements for n location stipulated fifteen
hundred meters along the edge of the lake. en-
bracing large properties; a port for hydroplanes,
facing the Alps and having access by land and
water. Within the walls of the small territorial
district of Geneva, amid the country adorned with
parks and decked with gardens, several estates
were available to the representatives of the differ
ent nations.
The parish of Genthod, about four miles out
from the town, perhaps the more readily fulflls
these conditions. Genthod, one of the Oldest vii
lagos, was a part of the bishop of Geneva's prop
erty. In 1885 it became the property of the re-
public and is Enclosed in the land that the Bernese
took from the duke of Savoy. An unusually beau
tiful spot, looking down upon the lake from time
immemorial, it has been a chosen place for the
Genevans.

The Creux de Genthod belongs to the family de

IF there is one place where up
to-date equipment Pays it is in
- the laundry. For instance, an
electrically operated washing ma
chine, il properly installed in con
nection with regular plumbing, will
practically wash the clothes with
no other attention than filling and
empting the washer. A washing
machine not only washes clothes,
but rinses and blues Tnem. After
the clothes are washed the water
may be drained of aud fresh hot
clean water added. The clothes
may then be rinsed directly in the
washer, using as many changes OF
water as necessary.
In addition to q washer, an iron
ing machine is most practical, espe-
cially in a large family. Some peo-
pie wrongly have the impression
that such machine irons only fiat"
pieces. On the contrary, it will
iron successfully night wear, petit
coats, aprons and many other ar
ticles, even house dresses.
Such a machine consists of q
metal roll covered with a pad of
cotton and fitted with a handle. II
may be heated either by gasoline
or gas, gas being far more efficient
All that is necessary is to guide the
clothing between the heated rolls.
Such machines come in different
sizes, the 40-inch length being most
desirable for family use:
