FARM BUREAU NEWS NOTES
BY Miss Clara Sutter

Thousands Of dollars worth of poul'
try is lost each year because of lice
and mites. Young birds infested with
lice cannot make normal growth,
and older poultry cannot keep IN good
condition especially during the sum
mer months.
There are many ways of Kidding
birds of lice, but one Of the most
effective is by using an ointment
made by mixing one ounce Of blue
ointment with two ounces Of hard oil
or cup grease. Apply small portion
about the size Of grain of corn
directly on the skin under the vent.
Do not rub it in as il will blister.
Sodium Fluoridc mixed with an
equal amount of flour or corn starch
is also effective. Take a pinch Of the
powder between the thumb and fin
ger and apply on the breast, another
under each wing, base Of neck and
under the vent.
Dipping in a solution Of stock dip
is not 50 satisfactory though ii may
be done.
In spraying the house for mites use
any heavy oil That drained from
the crankcase mixed with equal parts
Of kerosene is both cheap and effect.
i've The secret of getting rid of
mites is to spray at least three times
in six or eight days instead Of once
month.

When we pass the carcass OF n
long dead animal we hold our noses
Decayed flesh is very offensive. We
should do the same with the poor
EGG who considers himself speeder
His carcass may be intact, but ths
mind is a mass of putrefaction. This
is evidenced by the fact that a nor
nal mind does not require coercion
to safeguard the lives and limbs OF
other people. Hold your nose as he
passes by. Soon he will take another

CORN OUT OF WAY OF FROST

Wash Leedom last Monday morning
brought us sample of yellow dent
corn that he had picked out OF his
forty-acre field Of sod corn, that was
we'll dentcd. 1t is well out of the
way Of injury by frost. This corn
was planted OH the 2Sth of May.
This hot weather we have been having
the past two on three weeks is just
what we need to mature the corn,
and it is hoped that all of our bic
crop will be matured before we get
n heavy frost.

OATS GO s5 BUSHELS PER ACRE

Threshing has only begun IN this
county so far, but already we are
beginning to hear of heavy yields of
small grain. Mr.. Wolf, living in Cody
township, had field of Swedish Sc
ect Oats that yielded him % bushels
Of fine oats per acre. Guess Iowa,
Nebraska, and even eastern South
Dakota will have to 90 some to beat
this record for oat yield this year,
even if they do have three and four
hundred dollar acre land.

NOT YET TOO LATE TO
APPLY FOR COMPENSATION

There are great many former
service men who believe that the
time limit has expired in which to
make application for compensation
for service-incurrcd disabilities. In
a statement issued today from the
headquarters, District Ten, Z. S. Vet
eran's Bureau, Minneapolis, this is
shown TO be nOt true, and we are en-
deavoring to clear all such doubts
in the minds Of possible applicants.
While Au2lst 9, 1922 was the last
dste &c apply fer certificate Of In
iury, application for Compensation
may be made up to five years from
date Of discharge" The Certificate
Of Injury is for the purpose Of allow
ing the man to apply for compensa-
ton at any time after this five-year
period, if his disability should begin
to affect him to any appreciable de-
gree. However, if five years have not
elapsed since discharge and an ex-
service man has disability now,
which. however, may later develop
into something of more serious ma
ture, he should forthwith submit al
application for compensation. This
will make his disability matter Of
record, and even though now ii may
not be iaicd as of compensate 6e-
gree, it will cntitle him later on to
compensation end hospital treatment
more serious. Those who failed to
srl, Ia, Il (cr ;;ficatc Of Injury can
therefore now G rect this oversight bv
making ImmeIiatn application for
! compensation.

Weekly Service Hints Furnished by

NJ,,U- Ann Grou


Mary Ann Gray
To sterilize all fruit buffers and
similar products after they are put
into the containers, for the purpose
Of preventing any molding, spelling,
or infection, set the containers filled
and with the tops on in vessel fit
ted with a false bottom and deep
enough to hold them. Pour in little
water, put on the cover to hold in tho
steam, and set over the fire. Begin
TO count the time when the steam
starts to escape and after five minutes
for quart or smaller sizes, ten minutes
for half gallon sizes and fifteen min
utes for gallon sizes, take the contain
ers out to cool; then set them away
for future use. This sterilization
takes the place of pouring paraffin
on the top and insures absolute pro-
lection from mold. OF course there
should be tight cover fitted on the
container before it is put into the
steam.
