BEST LITTER FOR
POULTRY HOUSE

Litter for the poultry house floor is
not only necessary in plentiful Quanti-
ties. but 1t should also be If satisfac-
tory quality. The two main points are
to have material that will not break
up into chaff or powder too quickly,
and which will not be inclined to abb
sorb moisture. Litter that breaks up
quickly makes the house overly dusty
and often causes disease of the nose
or throat or sore eyes by fine particles
being thrown into the hens eyes when
scratching. Litter that absorbs mois-
ture quickly is especially bad in the
winter mouths, when sunshine is
scarce and has little drying power.
Damp or filthy litter often makes a
good breeding place for disease germs.
Litter should always be material that
is digestible If eaten by the hens, for
certain amount is invariably con-
Sumed.
Wheat or rye straw is one of the best
materials for the litter, as 1t is tough
and lasts well, although at the same
time light enough in weight that the
hens can easily kick it around. These
straws also have the desirable quality
of being slow to absorb moisture. Dat
straw does not make quite such good

SchlettStadt.

Erasmus In 1914 praised the hospi-
taIfty Of the town which today is one
of the many of Alsace returned to the
French fold. Schlettstadt viewed from
the Strasbough side has still her medic
val appearance. Her belfries are OF
sandstone the color of a rose; her sill
houette is marked by the gable ends of
her ancient defenses. Besieged ten
times, she has but once fallen before
the enemy. One of her streets still
bears the name Rue du Babil in re-
membrance of the famous Latin school
of Erasmus day and the chatter of its
scholars. In the light of the setting
sun a writer In the Journal des Debats
describes Schlettstadt as a basket of
flowers set In the meadows with a
background In the distance found by
the vosges. On one Of the eliminating
heights are the walls of the Konigs-
burg.

The Bible, Agent
of Civilization
AS Powerful as Ever in
Uplift Of Humanity.

More and more it is realized that
the Bible is the only book in the world
which can be applied to all classes.
all conditions and all times. Written
and compiled thousands of years ago,
when the world was In its infancy
and when humanity was cropping its
way out of the darkness into the light,
Its wonderful images. it's inspiring
stories and its uplifting spirituality
make it as valuable an agent of civili-
cation and as powerful factor In the
uplift of humanity as ever it was. In
fact, the Bible is found to be the best
known guide for social progress, for
political construction and for indus
trial peace. Its usefulness does not
stop there. It is now employed to teach
the lessons of patriotism and to in
culcate the spirit Of Americanism.-

Common Sporting Powder
Used in Machine Shops

Common black sporting powder is a
source of momentary energy in some
railway machine shops and is used for
such purposes as loosening nuts and
bolts, breaking up scrap iron and steel,
forcing rusted locomotive piston and
breaking metal cooled in a furnace. It
IS employed in steel guns 5 to II
inches long and of proportionate d.
ameter. The powder is held by a
plunger without wad and it Is fired
with the mouth of the gun about an
inch from the work. An ounce charge
is the average required for an ordi-
nary locomotive nut or bolt.

To Heat House to rs Deg.
Instead of 70 Deg. Means
II Per Cent Fuel Increase

Every possible measure should be
taken to save all the coal that is pos
sible throughout the winter-and
every winter, as far rs that goes,
says Prof. A. G. Willard of the depart
ment Of heating and ventilation of the
University of Illinois. "It is never too
late to save coal and every user of this
fuel should observe the following sug-
gestions which are given as a result
of long investigations conducted at the
university on how to get the most heat
from the least amount of coal:
Heating surfaces should be kept
clean and free from SCOT and ash &C.
foundations and the entire ash pit
should be cleaned daily.
"Grates should be true and not
warped, should move easily and should
have no broken places for coal TO drop
through. Unburned or partly burned
coal should not appear in the ashes at
any time.
'"The fuel pot should be kept full
with fire surface at the level Of fire
door; let ashes accumulate on (not
under) the CRATES in mild weather:
CRATES should not be shaken too long
nor violently, and clinkers should be
removed with as little disturbance OF
the fire as possible. Do not shake or
disturb a very low fire until you have
added and ignired little fresh fuel.
Anticipate the heating demand by
firing promptly when the outside tenn
perature begins to drop, or the wind
increases. Do not allow a fire to burn
too thin nor to develop holes in the
fire bed.
''If the heater is small for its work,
do not use coal containing a large
amount of fine material.

form temperature and should not be
allowed to cool down more thap 10

Paraffin Good Cleanser
Aid to Housekeeper

Paraff1n Is very useful, and does
wonders for the housekeeper, though
some people look upon 1t as a greasy
liquid unfit for cleansing purposes. A
soft cloth moistened with 1T and used
on the furniture In regular dustings
will brighten the wood. Many laun-
dresses put little into the water in
which soiled clothes are soaked. and
little added to the starch will keep
the irons from sticking. Paraf1n is
also good for cleaning enameled bed
