MATCHED LUMBER FOR NESTS
Plan to Have as Few Cracks and
Creviees az Possible, Built In
Portable Sections. f..

When first In the poultry business
we thought that nests made of scrap
umberSor small boxes were ~satisfac-
tory. Now we believe that the nests
should be of smooth matched lumber
with as few cracks and crevices as
possible, says a writer In an exchange.
They must never be nailed to the
sides Of the wall or beneath the drop
ping boards, but built in portable sec.
lions, SO they can be easily carried
from the house for summing and spray
Ing. s.: T. y Il
When we used open nests In some
of the. houses the birds were constant
ing roosting on them Or bothering the
hens while they were laying. After
several eggs had been laid in a nest
another hen might decide to scratch
around In the litter In that nest. This
resulted In broken eggs and then it
was only a short step to the egg eat
ing habit.
The best nests are built with a
small track at the rear where the
hens al enter. The eggs are removed
BY lowering a hinged door In front.
These nests are slightly darkened and
the hens hardly zee the eggs that are
laid. There IL not much scratching
In the litter Iii a darkened nest. II
q soft-shelled egg is laid and broken
the danger Of the hen eating It Is 10
duced.
The egg-eating habit probably
causes as much loss and discourage
ment as any habit or disease which
troubles poultry keepers. The remedy
Is largely In prevention and this con-
sists In building the right kind OF
nests.

COMBATING THE "
CUCUMBER BEETLE
DR.. r. Z. webster

The striped cucumber beetle is one
OF the most dangerous enemies OF the
cucumber, squash and melon plants.
The adults destroy the plants as soon
as they get above ground and the grnbs
feed on the roots OF the same plants
should they survive the injury from
the beetles. Usually the eating OF the
leaves by the beetles is the injury
noticed, although the destruction of
the roots BY the larvae may be fully as
serious. The plants are gradually
weakened, finally wilt and die.
No single method Of combating this
Insect Is completely efficient. The best
single method Is spraying the plants
thoroughly with lead arsenate paste,
used at the rate Of 8 to 5 pounds to so
gallons OF water.
Air Stacked lime mixed with sulfur.
tobacco dust and other similar pre-
parations. thoroughly busted over the
infested plants on the upper and lower
leaf surfaces, does much good by him
dering the activities OF the beetles.
This must be often repeated, since the
beetles return TO the plants as soon as
the offensive substance Is blown or
washed away.
Where the beetles are known to- be-
abundant, put in 4 few seeds OF early
squash around the edges OF the garden.
More than 1900 herds, representing
$4,000 cattle, are now government ac-

the agreement, the buyer usually cuts
very closely. Selling by the lot is
therefore a good method to use where
the owner intends to clear the land
for other uses. But if the land is to
be kept in timber, the owner should
include provisions in the contract Of
sale to retain the young, vigorous
growing timber and provide for a fu-
ture crop. The importance Of care in
cutting, OF account of it's effect upon
succeeding growth and production of
the stand, can hardly be overstated.

SAFEGUARDING MILK SUPPLY
Communities in Framing Prae-
'rjs' ~ q. ticabie Law.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
In properly safeguarding the milk
supply Of a community, the enactment
Of a suitable and enforceable law is
usually the first step, according to a
reprint Of department bulletin 585, "a
Guide for Formulating a Milk Ordi-
nance" just issued by the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Milk, in its composition and natural
qualities, is a most useful and accept
able food, but may acquire one form
or another of insanitary faint On it's
way from the COW to the consumer;
and it is not always possible to re-
quire either producers OF distributors
to observe all the precautions which
science has shown to be necessary,
unless there Is a law to back them up.
The public and officials of q city
realizing this need may sometimes, in
their zeal to make the new regulations
strict enough, 60 too far and insert
provisions that cannot readily be en-
forced OF administered. Even health
department officials may not be ia
miliar with all phases of this subject,
unless they have already been engaged
In the enforcement of milk regula-
tons; and in any case, whether the
city is just starting milk regulation or
Is revising it's ordinances to bring
them up to date, it is desirable to take
advantage of the experience Of other
communities.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has drawn UP a form OF
ordinance to guide communities In
framing a finished and practicable
law. Copies Of the bulletin may be
had free upon application to the de-
partment at Washington, D.. @.

NO FOREIGNERS
SLAIN in CHINA

Shanghai, June 26-Rear Admiral
w. H. G. Bullard, commanding the
United States naval patrol on the
Yangste river, who arriver tonight
on his flagship, U. S. S. Isabel, con-
firmed reports of the recent uprising
in Kiangsi province and the killing of
many natives, but declared that no
foreigners had been killed nor cap
tured.
Suns forces, now converging on
Canton, are declared to outnumber
the troops under Chen Chung Ming
who deposed Sun. Chinese observers
predict severe warfare between the
two factions with the odds in favor
of the restoration of Sun Yat Sen and
the defeat of Chen.
Admiral Bullard said that the dis
turbances resulting from the mutiny
of the troops in Kiangsi perhaps had
not been wholly quelled south of Nan
chang, in which region cities have
been looted and many persons slaugh-
tered, but that elsewhere the Chinese
authorities were restoring order. He
believed that all danger of damage to
the property of foreigners had passed
before he left Kiukiang in northern
Kiangsi.
The worst phase of the mutiny, said
the admiral, continued Throughout
two days, during which looting and
killing became general. He was un-
able to estimate the number of
Chinese slain nor the extent Of the
damage, but he wa certain that the
latter would be fouMd to be extensive.
When Admiral Bullard departed
from Kiukiang he left the American
gunboat Monocacy on duty there aid
Saturday her commander reported
that the city of Nanchang, capital Of
Kiangsi province, was no longer in
danger.
Three generals are in command OF
10000 of Suns Kiangsi army of so,
600, said to be driving suothward.
They are Dsu Tsung-Chi, Ii Lieh-
Chun and Huang Ta-Wei.
Reports received from Canton as
sert that General Huang, with 10000
troops is holding line in the south
ern Kiangsi province below Kan
chow, while Generals Ii and Dsu are
commanding the drive against Chen
Chiung-Ming. Suns northern forces
are snot expected. to reach the neigh
borhood of Canton inside of two
weeks.

mine TRAGEDY
BRINGS CHARGES

Washington, June 26.-Two sides
to the Herrin, ILL.,, mine killings were
presented today in the house during
debate in which Representative
Goodykoontz of West Virginia and
Representative Denison of Illinois,
both Republicans, participated.
Mr.. Goodykoontz called upon off
GERS of the United Mine Workers OF
America to assist in prosecution of
those responsible for the disorders
even though found among the union
membership. Otherwise, he said, the
United Mine Workers organization
"will never be able to rise from the
low level to which it's members have
caused it to fall" He added that the
people "are crying out against the
enormity of the crime and strong men
in the union should take note of the
injury crime is doing to their cause"
Mr.. Denison, in whose district the
disorders occurred, replying to the
West Virginia member, set forth in
detail the conditions which led to the
killings, declaring that the "most un-
fortunate affair" was due to the
employment of non-union men "arm
ed with rifles and machine guns" to
mine coal in violation of an agree
ment entered into with the union
miners.
The Illinois representative contend
ed that newspaper reports of the dis
orders in many cases were very in
accurate" and said that according to
the local papers of Marion, his home,
mot one-fifth of the press reports to
the metropolitan newspapers were
true" He said he regretted the ere
pulsive and horrifying details" con-
tanned in some accounts and added
~ know that some of the revolving,
gruesome details are not reliable and
not true in many instances. If the
people of the country were better in
formed about the circumstances
which led up to the tragedy they
would take different view of it."
Wmle not eXcuSlnS the resort TO
force by the union miners Represen-
tative Denison said it was we'll known
that whenever non-union miners were
taken into southern Illinois to mine
coal there had been tragedy"
Representative Goodykoontz assert
ed that the "coroner's" jury verdict
indicated that "the union miners have
even control Of the processes of the
law there" He recited conditions in
Logan county, West Virginia, and de-
clared that property there would have
been destroyed and the law ignored,
as he insisted it had been in Illinois
had not the authorities of the county
and state taken prompt action.
