deserve to be treated as social out
casts without civic consciences, by all
who know that for a town to be sue
cessful, it must have the loyal sup

night the day, that if some folks buy

POINTERS FOR THE
BACKYARD POULTRYMAN

Keep the hens confined to your owl
land.
Don't keep rooster. Hens lay JUS
as well without the male bird.
Don't overstock your land.
Purchase well-matured pullets ra.
Their than hens.
Don't expect great success in hatch.
ing and raising chicks unless you have
had some experience, and have grass
plat separate from the yard for the
hens.
Build cheap house or shelter.
Make the house dry and free from
drafts, but allow for ventilation.
Fowls stand cold better than damp
ness. You cen build a god henhease
with two piano boxes, the backs tax

Small windows, screened for summer,
and provided with glass or cloth for
winter, should be provided. It is wise
also, to have these boxes raised off the
ground few inches to prevent rats
making their homes under the house.
This kind of house should do for 20
hens.
Keep house and yard clean.
Provide roosts and dropping boards.
Save the manure. 1t is worth mon
ey if treated properly.
Provide a nest for each four or five
hens.
Grow some green crop in the yard.
Spade up the yard frequently.
Feed table scraps and kitchen waste.
Feed grains once or twice a day.
Feed dry mash.
Keep hens free from lice and the
house free from mites.
Kill and eat the poorest hens in the
fall when they begin to mott and stop
laying.
Preserve the surplus eggs produced
during the summer for use during the
fall and winter when eggs are scarce
and high in price.
The size of the flock which can be
kept most efficiently will depend upon
the space available and upon the a.
mount of table scraps and other waste
available for feed. It is a mistake to
overstock your land. Better results
will be obtained from few hens in
a small yard than from a large num-

SILOS REQUIRE ATTENTION

Silos, to give the best service, need
attention every year, says the United
States Department of Agriculture
Stave silos need the hoops frightened
occasionally, and the guy wires should
be looked over and made taut. The
roof should not be allowed to become
leaky and any defective places in the
sides should be repaired. It is advis-
able also to look well to the founda-
ton.
Before the silo is filled for the first
time it should be painted on the in
side with raw coal tar thinned with

REPAIR DAMAGE DONE
BY MICE AND RABBITS
TO FRUIT TREES

Mice and rabbits often do serious
damage by girdling the bark of young
fruit trees during the fall and winter.
Where the tree is entirely girdled
practically the only remedy is bridge
grating, and this can be done to adj
vantage only in the spring when the
sap flows. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture advises the cut
edges of the bark and the exposed
wood can be prevented from drying
out and dying by packing with earth,
if near the ground; by wrapping with
paper or burlap, or by painting with
coal-tar creosote paint. This material
should never be used near grating
time, as it viii kill the cut edges of
the CRAFTS. 1t should be used previ-
ously, so that it can weather and be-
come stale.
When the buds burst and the bark
slips easily or may be peeled in the
spring, the bridge gratis may be in
serted. Healthy shoots from last
years growth should be used for the
purpose. Make the scions a little
longer than the injured places, with
long slanting cut at each end. Fit
them closely against the side of the
tree, under the bark, and spring them
into position. Ii scions are long, fast
en- the ends to the tree with half-inch
brads.
Cover the edges of the wound "a
round the graft with grating wax
and tie with strips of cloth. Smear
the entire region, covering all the in
jured parts with the following mix
ture: Clay and fresh cow dung, equal
parts, softened with water to make a
paste. Bank with sods and earth. If
the injury goes too high for this,
wrap with old carpet, burlap or cloth,
and bank as high as possible with
earth. The air must be kept away
from the wound

BABY'S MILK SHOULD BE
PASTEURIZED FOR SAFETY

While many people, especially those
who have been brought up in the
country and kept cows, state that they
prefer the taste of raw milk to that
which has been pasteurized, there is
no doubt that pasteurized milk is SAT
er for babies, specialists in the United
States Department of Agriculture be-
lleve. Baby will like it as well as any
substitute for mothers milk and will
be much less liable to stomach upsets
and intestinal disorders, caused by
bacteria.
Slight warmth is very favorable
to the growth of bacteria, which null
tiply incredibly fast if milk is not
cooled as soon as possible after it is
drawn. Pastearization, or holding the
milk at temperature of Ids degrees
f. for 80 minutes is the best method
known for destroying a large percent
age of the bacteria without undesir-
ably changing the chemical constitu-
ents.
How to Pasteurize Mix at Home
A baby's milk is most convenient
ly pasteurized once a day in the mrs
ing bottles into which has been meas
ured the quantity needed for each
feeding. There is then no likelihood
of contamination by pouring if into
other bottles. A wire or tin basket
that holds the bottles upright makes
1t possible TO handle them all at one
time without scalding the fingers. The
tops OF the bottles are plugged with
clean cotton, and a thermometer in.
serted IN one of them. The bottles in
the wire basket are lifted into pail
and surrounded with water nearly to
the level of the milk.
When the thermometer registers
145 degrees F. in the milk. the bot
ties are removed and cold water added
to the pail until the temperature is
also 145 F. The bottles are put back.
covered with bath towel or other
heavy cloth, and allowed to stand for
at least 80 minutes. Rapid cooling is
done by running cold water into the
pail, and finally the bottles are set in
the refrigerator until needed.
Orange juice given babies when fed
on pasteurized milk will make up for
any loss which heating caused in the
scurvy-preventing power of the vita
mines of the milk.

al, We have bit Of pity for you. be.
cause often you act thoughtlessly in
buying from catalogs. You think you
are going to save penny or two and
you are misled by the garbled state
ments of the clever catalog writer's
You don't know, do you, what a debt
of sorrow you are piling up not only
for your town, but for yourself, be-
cause just as sure as you live you are
going to find that the mail-order
houses are putting it over on you;
that they are not giving you value;
and that your home town merchants
can match the mail-order competition
every time if you will but give them
chance. We never knew an able, up
to-the-minute hometown merchant
anywhere that couldn't show any mail
order house in the world cards and
spades in successful merchandising.
He can do so, because he puts his
heart and his soul into his business:
because he has the personal welfare
of his customers uppermost in mind
and because he is loyal to the home
town and will not therefore, take adj
vantage of his customers in any way.
Don't be a community Stacker. IF
you buy merchandise away from the
home town, stop before it is too late.
Stop before your town has gone to
seed and your merchants have gone
out of business. Stop before the mail
order vultures rob you as they even
tually will. Erase the stigma of be-
ing Stacker from your name. Be-
gin this very day to be a LOYAL

CHRISTMAS
FIRE RISKS

Peace on earth, good will to men. :"
Will your Christmas be a day of
joy and happiness, or day of mourn
ing Will fire or death in your house,
shop, store or church mar the pleasure
of this and future Yuletides.
1t is up to you.
Fathers have died playing Santa
Claus, because candles ignited the in
f1ammable suit or whiskers, children
have met death in the same way.
Christmas tree fires which burned
or damaged homes, churches and
stores and their precious contents
have been too common, and some
times in large stores, churches and
halls, panics have increased the sac
rifice of lives.
All this can be prevented.
Let us Danish all paper, cotton or
other combustible trimmings and dec
orations, and use instead metallic tin
sci, asbestos fiber and powdered mi
ca. Paper and cloth, treated to rem
der them slow burning can now be
purchased.
| A cluster of small, colored electric
lights is safer and more effective to
light the Christmas tree than candles,
which children are bound to relighs,
| if not watched, often TO their sorrow.
Setting the tree on firm standard
will prevent its tipping over.
/ Waste paper and other packing ma
terials, coming with presents and de-
corations should be removed immedi-
ately, as also should the tire before
the needles become dry. Christmas
tree fires in January are inexcusable.
Those in charge of large stores,
churches, halls and other meeting
places have an added responsibility
Fire in such places is liable to result
in panic and holocaust.
No combustible decorations should
be used in such places. All electrical
displays and window lighting should

clan. Neither goods nor decorations
should be placed near gas jets, stoves
stovepipes, or chimneys, nor any in
|ffammable decorations attached to any
| electric wires, globes or fixtures, and
the entire premises should be kept
clear of eombustible waste materials
1t is important that all exits. aisles
fire-escapes and passageways be clear
and unobstructed.
Think of the safety of your family
your neighbor's and of the fire laddies
who would also enjoy "Merry

FRESH AIR SCHOOL
IS NEEDED HERE

The need of a fresh air school in
Wisconsin Rapids was strongly en-
phasized by the recent clinic held here
by the Wisconsin nti-Tuberculosis
Association. Ten children, malnour-
ished and underweight, and four of
them in e-tuberculous condition
were advised to have fresh air treat
ment. Proper rest, fresh air and nou-
rishing foods, it was stated, would
probably restore them to health, and
the fresh air school would be the
ideal place for them.
OF the 1873 patients examined, Ia
were found to have tuberculosis, and
FIVE of these were advised to enter
sanatoria, as this was recommended
as the treatment offering the best
chances of cure, and is the surest
method of protecting the family from
the danger Of infection.
Among those found tuberculous
we're a brother and sister n the same
family, both of whom were recon-
mended to take sanatorium treatment.
Other findings of the clinic were: de-
fective teeth, 46; bad tonsils, 81;
heart trouble, 10; adenoids, Z; en-
larged glands, Al; bronchitis, 10;
goitres, Sd; underweight, 16; malnu-
triton, H. Only 20 were found to be
in a perfect physical condition and
Ill were referred to local physicians
for treatment.
People throughout the county were
enthusiastic over the work of the elm
ic and many asked how they could
show their gratitude for this service
A number wished to pay for it. Briefly
these people were told:
That the Wisconsin Anti Tuberculo-
sis Association does not accept fees
from patients for examinations or adj
vice.
That the Association depends almost
entirely upon the annual sale of
Christmas Seals for funds with which
| to carry on its work.
That the number of clinics to be held
and the number of patients to be ex-
amnied next year depends on the
number of seals sold this year.
That if patients or members of their
family feel grateful to the Associa-
ton for examinations and help given
! the way to show this appreciation is
by buying as many Christmas seals
as they can afford.
High praise for the splendid spirit
