whitewash Makes The Hen House
Sanitary.

whitewash Makes The Hen House
Sanitary.
Early in the spring, when every
thing else around the farm is being
cleaned and put in shape for the
summer, coat of whitewash will
add greatly to the appearance and
sanitation of the interior of the poul-
try house. 1t Is the cheapest Of all
paints and may be used on the ex-
terror of the building, too, If so de-
sired.
whitewash is made by Stacking
about 10 pounds of quicklime in a
pail with 2 gallons of water, COW
ering the pail with cloth or burlap
and allowing it to slack for one hour.
Water is then added to bring the
whitewash to a consistency which
may be applied readily.
A weatherproof whitewash for ex-
terror surfaces recommended by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture may be made as follows: (1)
Stake bushel of quicklime in IL
gallons of hot water; CD dissolye
2 pounds of common salt and pound
of sulphate of zinc in 2 gallons of
boiling water; pour (2) into ~,
then add gallons of skim milk and
mix thoroughly. Whitewash is
spread lightly, over the surface with
a broad brush.

His Fathers Partner Knows Good
Pigs From Poor Ones.

The firm of ]. Kasper & Sons, farm
ers located in Medford, MINI. The
Junior member of the firm, Valdi-
more Kasper, is Is years old. He
has been a member of one of the pig
clubs organized by the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
State College for two years and knows
good pig when he sees one. His
father, like many wise fathers now
adays. has taken his son into part
nership with him. The old idea OF
father keeping all authority entire
" in his own hands until he dies or
is forced by illness to turn it over
to some one else is slowly becoming
thing of the past. Farm fathers
are awakening to the fact that if they
want a boy to be contented and to
stay on the farm, they can do it by
giving him a share of its responsible
tiles and profits, as well as share
of the work.
Kasper & Sons this winter decid-
ed they needed some new blood in
their pig yard. An auction sale OF
purebred gifts offered an opportunity
to acquire the stock they wanted.
On the day of the sale the senior
member handed Valdimore the COM
pany's check book and sent him as
the firms purchasing agent to the
auction.
When an uncommonly good giI
was brought into the ring the be, U
ran the bids for it up to $3.50. EVENT.,
ually this pig sold for $1,000. Though
he was disappointed in not obtain1
ing the gilt he most wanted, the boy
stayed in the game and outbid hill
competitors for three other gifts thai
looked good to him. At the conclus-
ion of the sale he wrote a check for
$500 and signed the firms name
Its a good days work and all in
days business" said the young
farmer, as he loaded his purchases
and started for home. Pig club
boys acquire self-reliance and mi
tiative through their work in the
clubs.

SPRING FEVER
Following Colds, Grip or Flu,
Thin, Wotery or Poisoned Blood
(BY DR.. VALENTINE MorT.)


At this time of year most people
suffer from what we term spring
fever" because of stagnant con-
dition of the blood, because of the
toxins poisons) stored up within
the body during the long winter.
We eat too much meat, with little
or no green vegetables.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic
people, those with pale cheeks and
lips, who have a poor appetite and
feel that tired, worn or feverish
condition in the spring-time of the
year, should try the refreshing tonic
powers of a good Alternative and
blood purifier. Such tonic as
druggists have sold for fifty years,
is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t is a standard remedy
that can be obtained in tablet or
liquid form. Made without alcohol
from wild roots and barks.

Need of Specialists.

81 can not impress too strongly up
on manufacturers the necessity for
sending out specialists to examine the
trade conditions and keep merchants
in touch with buyers.
South Africa is a country of mag
nificient possibilities. Remember
that from the Equator to the Cape
there are millions of blacks who are
steadily increasing their demands for
boots, shoes, bicycles, sewing ma
chimes, etc.
Another important factor is the
rivalry of Japan. During the war
she seized the opportunity to send to
South Africa quantities of fancy
goods, hardware, etc.
Branches In South Africa.
British manufacturers should lay
to heart the necessity of starting
branches of their establishments in
South Africa. She has vast quanti-
ties of raw materials of every kind.
and in the new Parliament the ques-
ton will be raised of increasing the
protection of native manufacturers.
1T is a case either Of American
or British capital being invested in
the country.
South Africa, too, may help to
solve the motor fuel problem. She
has vast deposits of cheap coal for
the manufacture of benzol; she can
produce quantities of alcohol from
sugar wash and maize.
IF only British manufacturers will
turn out the goods great expansion
of trade could result

Chicken Flock Requires Plenty OF
Fresh Water

Plenty of fresh water should al
ways be accessible to the hens. II
supplied irregularly they are likely
to drink too much at a time. 1t
should not be exposed to the suns
rays in summer nor be allowed to
freeze in winter if this can be avoid
ed.
In very frosty weather it is often
worth while to give the flock slightly
warmed water two or three times a
day rather than permit them to drink
water at the freezing point. A flock
of SO hens in good laying condition
will require four to six quarts Of
water day, say poultry specialists of

Growth of Tobacco Production.

Growth of Tobacco Production.
The first United States census of
agriculture, for 1899, found a crop OF
more than 219, 100000 pounds of to
bacco, but in 1S49 it was under 20O,-
100000 pounds. By 1859, 1t had
more than doubled the crop Of 1S49
and reached $4,000, 900 pounds, fol-
lowed by reduction to 100000
pounds in 1869, in consequence of
the Civil War. After that year, pro-
duction advanced to S6S,00O, 900
pounds in 1899, to 1,056,000, 900
pounds in 1909, and 1,439,000, 900
pounds in 1918, the largest crop ever
raised, as estimated by the Bureau
of Crop Estimates, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The North
gained relatively in tobacco produc-
ton from 1889 to 1879, and rose
from to % per cent of the total,
and thereafter the relative gain was
transferred to the South, where it
reached n per cent of the whole
crop in 1914-191S.

THE TOTALLY DISABLED

(By Stuart N. Lake, in the Red Cross
Magazine)
Most of the guys we knew in France,
Are back in civil life,
Where the only reminder that war is
hell
Is a scrap now and then with the
wife,
But we must battle on and on
And never dare to quit,
For brand new fight is on our hands
And we must do our bit
We're Totally Disabled!
Up from the South the warm wind
comes
With the news of another Spring,
And the guys we knew in the A. E. f.
Are out where the Lirdies sing;
The blood in our veins is just as red
AS it was, three years ago,
And we still can yearn to the thrill Of
sport,
IHOugn II S all IN vain, we Know
We're Totally Disabled!
Most of the guys we soldiered with
Can answer the seasons CALI
They'll be up in the stands or out on
the lot
When the umpire yells "Play ball!";
We can only squirm in our plaster
casts,
Or shift our crutches bit,
And memory must substitute
For the whang. of the three base hit!
We're Totally Disabled!
In the stirring warmth of the sports
mans sun
The whole of the worlds at play,
Asad the gang we knew in the "A. E. F.
Is out in the van, they say
But we must do our playing, now,
On the field of some sporting sheet,
And play a game that is new and
tough,
And never brook defeat
You can't when you're disabled!
Eighty bucks, the government. says,
Is to he our monthly pay
A million a month could never make
up
For the unsated urge to play!
You guys that we knew in the A. E. F.
When the game gets hot, recall
That, mentally, every one of US,
Is in there, lamming the ball!-
Though Totally Disabled! 81

now digging" the board answered
promptly.
Anton, possessed with reports that
Indians had years ago buried treas
ure near here, had some time ago
started search for the gold. AL
ready large hole had been made.
On the day that Anton sought the
confidence of the ouija board it rained
hard. The rain threatened to under
mine the save and friends cautioned
him against it. But the lure of
the gold was made more real by the
uncanny replies of the ouija board.
Without thinking he went immedi-
ately to the cave and began to dig
frantically. In the midst of it the
cave-in came, burying Anton under
meath. He was suffocated before res
cuers could reach him.
Anton left wife and six children.
