CITY OR COUNTRY, WHICH?
Even Carlyle Couldn't Decide On Bet
ter Place to Live.

The inhabitants of the world may be
roughly divided into two classes, those
who live in the country and want to go
to the city and those who live in the
city and want to go to the country.
Which is better as a place is an open
question.
Thomas Carlyle was a philosopher.
Also he was a son of a farmer and
brother of farmers. He had lived in
the country and he had lived in the
city. And we find on the day of his
death he never could make up his mind
which he liked better.
After he had been in London awhile
he began to discuss with his farmer
brother the advisability Of going back
to the land Tho prospect Of farm, y
Froude says, became more attractive
the more he thought of it, Freedom,
fresh air. plain food and the society Of
people unspoiled by the world-with
these life might be worth living.
SO he went to Craigenputtock, an
out Of the way village in Scotland.
There he had wonderful views and a
horse. and the run Of neighboring Ii
brary and peace and all that sort of
thing 80
He had not been Shere long, how
ever, before we find him writing, must
go to Edinburgh for the winter. The
solitude here, generally very irksome'
is threatening to get intolerable."
He complained that he was not
properly elbowed in a food of life"
The country was al right, but mortal
communion is not to be had. Life here
is but a kind of life in death. One sits
weather screened, but pining, inactive
neck and heels crushed together"
So he went to London. And from
London he looked back to his country
life with regret as 'the happiest and
wholesomest home he had ever
known"
It was not long, however, before he
grew tired of the immeasurable soul
confusing uproar of life in London
and sighed for the sound Of cleal
brooks. woody solitude, bright green
ness"
Eventually after various expert

pense of dirt, smoke, tumult, and an

In the end Carlyle as we all know,
kept his house in London and rented
out CraigelputtOck.

for his suffering hens and start ou
on a killing expedition.
i. Fortunately, the blood-suckers do
not take up permanent residences on
the bodies of the birds. They merely
visit their unwilling hosts when they
require food, usually making their
calls when the birds are on the roos's
OF. the nests. The rest of the time
the mites congregate in cracks, holes,
rough places and similar hiding places
near the roosts and nests This charac-
teristic permits them to be slaughtered
by wholesale, it not being necessary to
treat the birds individually.
The first step consists of thorough
cleaning of the infested premises. Re
move all dirt. Take out and burn the
scratch litter and nesting material
Then get busy with the spray pump,
or, if preferred. large brush.
AS a mite killer one may use crude
petroleum slightly diluted with kero-
sene. This is especially good. If the
crude oil cannot be conveniently Sc
cured, use kerosene in which naptha-
Iene flakes have been dissolved. There
are. too. commercial preparations
which are highly effective, certain Of
them being absolutely guaranteed to
kill mites and prevent further in
restation of the premises treated Tor
a considerable period of time.
But whatever the material used the
results will not be entirely satiSiac-
tory unless ii has been thoroughly ap-
plied. Give the whole interior of the
building a good coat, especially about
the roosts and nests. Force the liquid
into all cracks and crcviccs where a
mite may possibly hide. Then repeat
the application in about week to
finish off any youngsters which may
have hatchcd since the first attack
This second application need not be
so general, but should be thoroughly
applied to roosts, droppings boards
cracks in the nest boxes and to tho
walls about these furnishings.
As the materials recommended
above are to a considerable degree alb
! sorbed by the wood to which they are
applied. they remain effective for quite
q time. After the suggested double
application one need but keep 4 sharI

MOT CHICKENS SUBJECT TO YERMiN

Sbjeet is intelIisentIy and Thoroughly
Discussed by Noted Expert Who Has

Prof. Frederick II. Stoneburn in New
I York World.
! 1t isn't particularly pleasant to think
about, but in all probability your
poultry is lousy. This condition may
not be apparent, but pick up and
closely examine bird or two and you
will soon find out. If your fock is
free from lice it is the great exception
to the rule and has been receiving un-
usually good care.
External parasites of poultry" is
the polite term under which are group
ed the more than forty distinct species
of lice and mites which attack domestic
poultry. Even ducks and geese are not
immune In spite of the fact that they
spend much of their time in the water
II would be a useless task to even
attempt to estimate the damage done
and the loss caused by these tiny para
sites. individually small but collective
ly mighty, they are a most vicious
force which works continuouslytto the
detriment of the poultry industry, re-
ducing the efficiency of the birds and
cutting down the poultrymans profits.
Lousy chicks do not make norma
growth; lousy hens do not lay as well
as they would under more favorable
conditions; lousy sitters often break
the eggs entrusted to them or desert
the nests; lousy brood hens are so
ANNOYED that they do not give their
youngsters proper care and, IN addi-
ton, they pass the scourge ON to the
growing chicks. AND / feel very con-
fident, Though lacking absolute proof,
that the constant irritation caused by
lice and mites reduces the vitality
and bodily resistance of infested birds,
thus making them susceptible to any
poultry diseases to which they may
be exposed.
presume that the average poultry
man is not keenly awake to the gravity
of this louse seourge, because the little
pests work unseen and there Is seldom
striking or marked evidence of their
activities. Let chem quickly Kill their
victims outright, as do rats and hawks,
and we would soon see nationwide
movement to get rid of them.
1t may too much to expect that one
can keep a large flock Of poultry of
various ages, absolutely and perma-
nently free from lice. But it is no
particular problem to keep the birdsF
young and old, practically free from
them. And just TO the extent that the
louse population is. reduced, the health
growth and, production Of the flock
will be improved. '
To nv mind the most troublesome
and destructive of the whole forty
odd varieties is the chicken mite. This
tiny troublemaker is sometimes known
as tie spider louse, because of its
shane: as the gray or red mite, be-
cause Of it's color 1t is dirty gray
when it has not dined for some time.
red when full of chicken blood.
Because of their small size, the
poultryman may not realize that mites
are present in large numbers in his
poultry houses or coops, until he eN-
periences the irritation which fol-
lows when some of them get on his
own body. After such an experience
he is quite likely to have sympathy

SECRECY IN
HERRIN CASE

Marion, Ill, Aug. 29-The veil
of secrecy that has been thrown
around the grand jury investigation
of the Herrin mine war thatstook
place June q and % last, causing
2s fatalities. was drawn tighter
this. afternoon, not even the names
Of the witnesses being divulged.
; This stringent action followed the
report that one witness had de-
clined to testify or answer ques-
tons put by the members OF the
Investigating body The witness
whose. name would not be given
out. was turned over to the sheriff,
but given an opportunity until to-
morrow, when he'll be called before
the grand jury. Officials in close
touch with the. inquiry expressed
belief that this witness would not
be as reticent tomorrow. In this
event. they said, no further action
would be taken against him.,
More than two score of witnesses
were called before the grand jury
during the day. the chief witness
being. Alton P. Findlay Of Chicago,
a timekeeper of the Southern llh-
nois Coal company. The then o"-
ner of the strip mine, who was
constantly guarded during his stay
in Marion. Find1ay was shot twice
during the massacre that followed
the surrender Of the mine en-
nloyees and only his presence OF
mind saved him from certain

Deadlocked Financial
Policy Wrecks Ministry

Toxic, Aug. 5.-In the solution
of the deadlocked financial policy
of the old ministry the Oriental
Economist" finds the only raison
d'etre Of the Kato Cabinet. What
ever the ostensible profession, it
was on its deadlocked financia,
policy that the Takahashi min
istry was shipwrecked, says that
paper. In order to avoid treading
in the same footsteps, the new
ministry ought to make it its first
duty to effect financial improve
ment. a8E ~
The aim could be attained only
by its faithful pursuance of a
strictly negative financial policy,
the pinnacle Of which hes in the
depreciation of commodity price.
The question is, in the Journals
estimation, how to lower the alb
normal level Of price. After refer
ring to the unfavorable effect Of the
prevailing anomalous price on the
general state industry. the monthly
suggests cessation Of loan f1ota-
ton, drastic military reforms and
the removal Of the ban on the gold
export, as the most effective means
of attaining the object in view.
These are policies, however, that
require every resolution and cour-
age for execution, thinks the jour
nal. because with such a per
sonage as Baron Kato who seems
TO have never had any opportunity
of studying finance and economy.
