GIVE CHICKENS FREE RANGE
Growing Fowls Are Enabled to Obtain
Quantities of Bugs, Worms,
Green Feed, Etc.

When the garden crops have reached
maturity or are far enough developed
to suffer little damage from chickens
the flock should be given free range.
There are times in late summer and
early fall when the benefit received
by the poultry will exceed the slight
injury some garden products may in
cur.
Free range enables growing chick
ems to obtain quantities of green. feed,
bugs, worms and other things. The
chickens therefore require less grain
and are less liable to sickness or dis
ease. Exercise and ability to range
for even a few hours a day is bene-
fetal to a flock that has been kept
in confinement during spring and early
summer.

Good Advice to Editors-and
Others.

Editor Pitt of the Religious Herald
gives his brethren of the editorial
fraternity some very good advice in
a recent issue of his estimable jour
nal. Editors, like their fellows of the
dust, some times suffer from that aw-
full malady known as "criterionism."
This peculiar ailment affects a man
thus-wise: 1t enlarges that certain
brain cell which renders the subject
possessed of a magnifed idea that
he is set for setting his brethren right
in their Orthodoxy" DR.. Pitt says:
"The editor of a religious weekly
has a post of high responsibility, but
he will make a serious mistake if he
thinks of himself. as charged with the

An Advance.

Agriculture has made a great adj
vance today in the fact that we no
longer buy western goods for our
farms. Southern farming today was
never in all it's history possibly more
independent, sc far as a mere living
is concerned, taan it is the present
time. 1t is quite true that the farm
that has to buy it's supplies today is
far less worthy of credit than at any
time in the past. So far as l know it
is an exceedir gly rare farm today
that is not an independent unit in this
matter of living.

A Word for De la Howe.

The. problem is one that has not
received the attention it should from
the thoughtful and Christian people

the seriousness of the situation and
to feel the imperative demand for &C

imagination and make ones self en-

To go through the fortunes of soul
when you realize that you must con-

CONTROL OF LICE AND MITES
Dust Bath Will Aid Materially, but
Should Not Be Depended
Upon Entirely.

While 1t is we'll to provide a good
dust bath for chickens, it cannot be
depended upon for louise and mite
control, say specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture. II
Is far better to eradicate the pests
completely. The main difficulty about
depending upon dust baths Is chat
some fowls seldom dust themselves
and those which dust freely never
completely free themselves of ice. The

There have been many advocates OF
the theory that chicken lice can be
killed by painting the roosts and drop
ping boards or the whole interior of
the poultry house with various oil mix
lures, the idea being that the vapors
or gases arising from these points
penetrate the feathers of the roosting
fowls and kill the lice. This method
has been given a very extensive trial
by specialists of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, and not one
of the 40 different preparations tested
was found to be of any value. These

To Stabilize Agriculture.
An Individual Thing.

To stabilize the farm, or in other
terms, to make the farm worthy of
bank credits-this is the great need
today. But farms are Just as differ
ent and individual as men r for
men, after all, have to run farms;
farms don't run themselves. There are
some men in the world who probably
never will be worthy of credit while
many other men certainly are highly
deserving of it. 1t is up to the individ-
ual farmer, therefore, to make his in
dividual farm a safe thing for a bank
loan.

Already Some Bankable Farms.

Professor Sewell at Hephzibah told
me that on some of his share crop
per and renter farms there had only
been an advance last season of seven
dollars per farm unit. These Sewell
farms were certainly and already a
bankable matter. Mr.. j. C. Lamar
who told me that all of his thirty-two
tenants at Kathwood, S. c., had
"paid OUT and had money to boot
this Lamar farm unit was certainly
worthy of banking credit. These two
examples show that not all southern
farms today have passed beyond a
credit or banking status. All of these
farms which are today credit matters
are interesting exhibits for examina-
ton. The great problem before the
southern agriculture today, and this
applies to every individual farm unit
is to make itself a bankable matter.

Healthy Herds.

At meeting Of the Live Stock SAM
tary Board of the Wisconsin Department
of Agriculture, on January Is, two very
important resolutions were adopted
The first of these states, that all re-
actors shall be branded with the letter
'.T'' on the left jaw and eartagged with
the Regulation Reactor Tag upon
completion Of the test.
Feeders shipped into the State are
to be branded with the letter F" on
the right jaw for identification. it be-
ing found that many OF these animals
were diverted for dairy and other ptir-
poses without being properly tubercu-
lin tested.
All of these resolutions deal with the
eradication of tuberculosis in Wiscon
sin. This is probably the biggest task
that the department of agriculture has
undertaken to accomplish. However,
it can be done Every percaution must
be taken and Commissioner Norgord
and Dr. Eliason, State Veterinarian,
are determined to keep this. dreadful
cattle disease in check and eventually
to exterminate it from Wisconsin.
Farmers are warned not to buy any
cattle that are branded as reactOrs.
Such animals are bound to spread tu-
berculosls. Furthermore, Chap. l491,
a, b, IS, of the statutes provides a pen
atty of $500 to $4,000, or ten years
imprisonment or both for buying or
selling or allowing reactors to run at
large. No untested cattle ought to be
added TO herd.
Cooperation with the department OF
agriculture by the dealers and farmers
is essential in order to enforce these
regulations
