Foresters Test Wireless
'Phone: Plan Works Fine

Preliminary tests Of the wireless
telephone by officers of the forest
service, United States department of
agriculture, in the vicinity of Port
land, Greg. lead to the belief that
this invention can be utilized extern
sively in the national forests, espe-
cially in fire-prevention work. While
it is recognized that there are con-
ditions' limiting wireless telephone
transmission, the results so far are
pronounced very satisfactory.
One of the sets used in the tests
was installed on Mount Hood, Ore.
where the problem of providing a sat
isfactory support for the antennae
was a difficult one. since mast was
needed which would be strong enough
to resist the seventy or eighty-mile
gales that sweep the mountains. At
the same time the mast had to be
light enough for the men to be able
to raise and lower it before and
after sleet storms. A fifty-foot bam-
boo pole was finally selected as the
support
In the telephone conversations be-
tween the sets, some of which were
ten miles apart. the voice carried very
clearly and was about as loud as over
wire line. Telegraph signals from
many stations scattered over the
continent were picked up. On Mount
Hood they often were SO loud as to
be audible in any part of the cabin.

Do You Want to Prevent Malaria9
Drain the Land Around Your Farm

Say malaria and you think of mos
duitoes, for malaria can no more eX-
list without mosquitoes than an air
plane can fly without a motor, for
the mosquito s the motive-power-
the carrier of malaria.
If you want malaria, and most OF
us know how peasant it makes one
feel, it is only necessary to have
stagnant water around, for mosqui-
toes need that in which to breed.
Conversely if you do not want it, rid
your locality of stagnant water; in
short, get busy on drainage work.
It used to require a lot of labor to
carry out drainage projects. People
preferred to suffer from malaria
rather than incur the expense and
trouble incident to draining swamps,
ponds, and wet spots generally.
But now there is little excuse for
inaction; little excuse for permitting
malaria conditions to exist.

OUR HOUSEHOLD

tie turkeys get their lice It is a
"measly" job, but every Tuesday for
six times l grease my young turkeys.
Don't try to put two sizes together
until they are month old, the

I give them hard clabber. Let the

If mine did not have warm place,
and if the hen was not ready to

that, too. I give them a half tea
spoonful of nux von1ica in crumbly
dough made of meal and water the
morning before l turn them out that
first time. Then when the hen is
turned out I again feed them nux
vomica I give half teaspoonfui

Hawks are nesting now, so it is
the wise thing to buy a quarters
worth of powdered nux vomica and
begin to feed the young chickens,

For the chickens use one nedp-

rity from malaria South Georgia
had much malaria during the fall
months, according to statistics, but
Ealdosta was entirely free because
the mosquito breeding ponds had
been drained.
"a city official states that the cost
of the blasting bitches which have
sum required to screen adequately
residences of the town not now s.
equipped. City Engineer Carney has
been using ordinary labor in the
work and ditch-blasting requires 50
few hands for even large operations
that the scarcity of help has not aft
fccted progress. The bitches have
been run through swamps where
hand work was impossible and sew
eral hundr.1 yards of main drains
of large size have been opened up In
day by small crew."
The new method so simp1ifies
drainage that it is not necessary to
wait for community movements to
improve drainage. On tie contrary,
any individual farmer blessed with
farm may proceed to drain it by
blasting a ditch and. in, fact, many
farmers all over the country are al
ready doing that very thing for there
is no scarcity OF dynamite, even if
there is no labor. ft'r
It takes but 0nr. man to blast a
ditch. The only real work attached
to it II shining thn Two Inch holes
Even that Is not hard work in

United States county agents all
through tho country are becoming
familiar with this method of ditch

Conserve Skunk During
The Closed Season

The skunk is not hard to trap, is
not clever with his wits, and often
approaches thmeneSS. Because of the
skunk's liking for the ways of civili-

farmer who goes out to eXterminate
the skunk on his land Simply to be
rid of the pest" is making a mis-
take. too. For a skunk on the farm
is real "anti-pest," helping to get
that do damage to the crops.
The trapper should rigidly avoid
all out-of-season killing of skunk
and go out of his way as often as
possible to help conserve the supply.
Remember. that the skunk is your

after year If you are careless about
this matter and trap Unfortunately,
you are just squandering your own
wealth and depriving yourself Of fu-
ture revenue.
You should look upon the fur-bear-
ing animals of your section as your
fur crop and attend to it carefully
during all seasons, just as you do
to your grain or live stock. Get
all your neighbors and trapper
friends to cooperate with you in
the interest Of fur conservation.
Every trapper should, know when
the animals in his. neighborhood be-
gin to breed
Take care to preserve the dens
holes, water houses, etc, of the ami
mails in your section. AS far as you
can, keep their haunts natural and
undisturbed. Never trap females, kits
and immature animals, if you can
help it, either in season or out. Work
together with your trapper friends
in the interest of conservation. Form
some kind of a mutual agreement to
protect the fur-bearers
Most important. convince yourself
that conservation benefits you more
than any other individual. 1t will
help make trapping permanent oc-

In the beginning let me announce

enough to supply the demand. Too
many turkeys cannot be raised

are kept, for the young ones are
tender creatures and the old ones are
spiteful to the little chickens. L
have a turkey house that is clear
away from the rest of the poultry
and the young turkeys are kept
there and never come up to my
house until the fields are bare. They
are fed at the barn after they get
grown.
l have never had any experience
with any sort except Bourbon Reds.
Others are wilder and must be hunt
ed at night. My turkeys roost with
the chickens that use at the barn
and are now laying in a big box
in the corner of the rape patch. A
barn hen will set on the eggs and
