DIPPING CHICKENS FOR LICE

for the sake of making a rhyme for

ems is likely to become more general
than dipping cattle, because the
chicken louise is a more widely distrib-

f1uOride to the gallon of water, which
should be at temperature of 30 to IS
degrees. The dipping should be done
on a clear, warm day-never on a
cold day. The old way of getting rid
of chicken lice was by busting with
dry sodium fluoride. 1t was effective,
but in the case of large f1Ocks it was
slow and wasteful, a great deal of the
busting material being inevitably lost.

TO RAISE HEALTHY CHICKENS
Lack of Vigor in Newly Matched

To be successful in raising chickens
it is necessary to have healthy and
vigorous breeding stock, for the lack
OF vigor in the newly Matched chicks
Is often traceabIe to weak parents
Only the most vigorous and the best
grown birds should be put in the
breeding yards. Each bird should be
full Of life and energy and free from
any serious defOrmity. Yearling hens
are usually better than pullets for
breeders, for the reason that the hens
are more mature and do not lay so
many eggs during the early winter,
and consequently do not reduce their
vitality so much before the breeding
season. Vigorous hens to years
old can often be advantageously
retained in the breeding yard. The

tilated it is preferable to expose the
horses to digestive troubles on the
pastures rather than to attempt to
carry them in the barns.
The feet of the work animals
should be examined frequently during
the summer, in order that accumula-
tons of dirt may be removed A few
moments devoted to scraping out the
hoofS each morning and evening will
add to the comfort of the beasts, as
often such foreign materials as nails
or stones lodge in the wall or sole Of
the foot or are collected in the clefts
of the frog or between the bars and
the frog If the hoofs are excessive
ly dry or brittle, they should be
softened with some good oil or hoof
ointment, and if they are ragged or
tend to split, they should be rasped
on the edges and trimmed until
smooth.
1t is advisable to clip horses when
the weather warns up in the spring
and heavy work begins. When clip
ped, they work much better, and they
do not become chilled after work from
having thoroughly soaked the heavy

Horses that are clipped as soon as
heavy spring work begins should be

The curtain-front or partial open

type for most sections. The colony
plan of housing poultry may be
adopted to advantage on many farms.
This system does away with the dan
ger of tainted soil.
The roosts should be built on the
same level, feet from the floor, with
a dropping board about 6 inches be
low them. Good roosts may be made
Of by inch material with the upper

The nests may be placed on the

bles in good condition. Place a board
or piece OF tin over the hay at the
apex of the cone and weight it down
to keep it in place. If the earth over
the entire surface of the mound is
firmed down with the back of the
shovel and a shallow trench dug
around the base of the mound with an
outlet so that the water will drain
away, the vegetables may be kept
practically dry for any length of time.
AS the weather becomes colder, it will
be necessary to put on more earth, in
creasing the thickness of the earth
covering to six or eight inches. In
very cold weather it is advisable to
put on an additional covering of straw,
fodder, manure, or other litter.
Earth Mound Is 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 disagreeabIe. 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 a long pit, either on their
sides or with the heads down, then
cover lightly with straw and a 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 q bed of whatever
size may be necessary. Around the
bed erect frame of rails, boards, or
poles, or by driving down a row Of
stakes so that an Enclosure about two
feet in height is formed. Bank the
outside of this frame with dirt and
place poles across the top, covering
them with straw, hay, corn fodder, or
pine boughs- Make provision for cut
ting off the cabbage heads from one
end of the pit as needed. When the
heads are cut, leave the roots In po-
sitiOn, and in the spring these roots
will sprout and supply an abundance
of green's.
Pit for Celery.
A similar pit may be made for Gel
cry, though the dirt should be exca-
waited to a depth Of about Il inches.
However, celery may be kept until ex-
IRENE cold weather In the position
where it grew by banking enough
earth about the plants to hold the
stems in compact bunch. Just be-
fore freezing occurs bank the earth
up to the very tops Of the plants, al
most covering them. AS the weather
becomes colder, cover the ridge with
straw, corn fodder, or pine boughs
held in place by stakes or boards
Pumpkins and squashes may be kept
