our HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED By LIZZIE O. THOMAS

One day I put a tablespoonful of
copperas to a gallon of water and
then 1 added just as much clear
water as I put of the medicated
water in their drinking vessels.
They got no other water for one
day, as they drank it up added
only the fresh water, but the cop
peras was in there, only weaker.
That was for worms. Too often one
sees four or five-months- sold chick
ems looking ragged. This medicine
is what they need.
And all next month, if you have
no pea field, nor grain field near, it
will pay you to get q bushel of
corn meal, fifty pounds of shorts,
fifty pounds Of wheat bran and
ten pounds of cottonseed meal, or
meat scraps. My advice is to buy
the commercial mash if you have
to buy all the ingredients. First,
class mash is as cheap and is bet
ter mixed. Keep this where they
can get it during the middle of the
day if they are at large, for if you
feed them heavily in the morning
they may get lazy. To expect eggs
without any egg-forming material
is fOolishness.
But all the feed in the land will
not make hens lay if they have
lice or mites. I've told you many
times about how to get rid OF
both, or either. Chicken wire is
| comparatively cheap, ard if you
rent the place you are on you can
| put UP a five-foot wire fence with
| the understanding that when you
move the fence goes too. One roll
! will make a yard large enough tC
Confine your flock at night, anC
! when you want them to have the
| mash, and to protect your nests
from dogs. Another roll of wire will
| give you a garden large enough for
early corn and tomatoes. Get the
green corn habit and you will have
! it at least once a day until frost
Every two weeks a row or two may
be planted, and there are so many
ways besides plain boiling to cook
it. When it is in the milk stage
add an egg, or a tablespoonful oil
| flour or corn starch to give it 6
little more "body."
! Where Mrs. Farmer has no hell
| I think twenty-five hens, a COW
! and pig are sufficient for one
woman. 1t takes no more to keeI
life in a good COW than a scrub
and the extra feed the good COW
gets goes to milk and butter. a
Jersey COW should give you a'pount
of butter for every five or si2
quarts of milk. With the surplus
milk, and it should be at least 6
gallon, the pig and chickens will
thrive. More would be better fol
them, but every child should drink
at least one pint a day. A quart is
not too much when divided by the
| three meals.
1 know times are hard, and there
are women who serve hard masters
but keep the idea in your MIND
and commence now to work up tt
it. You can't succeed unless yol
keep right at it. Going visiting ant
staying two or three days never
helped COW or flock of poultry
No neighbor can feed your flock as
you do.

Intense Interest Shown by
Pontiff in Plans for
American Fairgrounds in
Rome
BY ALICE ROHE

BG ALACE RUE1E
ROME.-Will a little child lead
Pope Piux XI from his voluntary
prison in the vatican?
Will children accomplish that
which diplomats and governments
have failed to do since the papal
state lost it's temporal power in
1870?
These are questions which are be-
ing asked in vatican circles with
growing insistence.
And if this breaking down of a
historic tradition occurs, America
will be the cause.
The present pope's broad humani-
tarianism and his fondness for chill
dren, especially, arc as well known
as his erudition and his understand
ing of world affairs.
When Edward L. Hearn came to
Rome recently as head of the
knights of Columbus in the eternal
city, His Holiness Pope Plus XI
questioned him at length about prac-
teal humanitarian work.
Pope Plus XI's desire to make his
occupancy Of the papal throne one
which will always be remembered in
it's social and moral humanitarian
features is frankly admitted.
A plan Of the Knights of Column
bus which brought forth the papal
enthusiasm at once is the establish
ment of playgrounds-real American
Fairgrounds in the densely popu-
lated districts Of Rome.
When the American playground
system had been explained to his
holiness, with it's shower baths, it's
sanitary and recreational features,
his interest was intense.
He refused the assistance Of an
interpreter, and insisted that Hearn
talk to him in English, although his
replies were in Italian. The pope
speaks English. but with hesitancy.
But that is one Of the greatest
steps in moral and social welfare, F"
his holiness is quoted as saying. Its
influence is inestimable."
Dedicated to Pope
When it was explained that upon
the completion of the Fairgrounds
they would be dedicated to him and
gwen to the public in his name,
Pope Plus ks exclamation of pleas
ure set whispers of conjecture astir.
His holiness is said to have ex
claimed: Then I VIII come myself
to bless them, I will leave the vati
can to give my benedict On upon this
great work in pubic r w.: and
health"

Il. P. r., Coleman, Ga, writes:
Please tell me how to treat
chickens with sore head, and
o oblige.
Sore head, or chicken pox, is an
INFECTIOUS disease that causes a
great deal of loss and trouble among
chlckens and birds in a warm eli
mate such as we have in the south
Inc symptoms are the development
VI small, Wart-like growths or erup-
IONS on the head. The comb and
me Wattles are most frequently at
lacked as are also the membranes
ABOUT the eye. In extreme cases, the
eyelids and even the mouth may be
aIiected. This disease attacks
chlckens and young birds most COM
monty, and it spreads very rapidly.
Chicken pox may be started in
variety of ways. Probably mosqui-
toes and other insects are carrying
agents. Prompt remedial action
should be instituted. All diseased
blrds should be Immediately isolated.
FIRST, scrape off the scabs, and then
apply tincture of iodine. A 2 per
cent solution of creolin, or any other
standard disinfectant may be used.
Since dirty coops are contributing
cause, see that they are kept in a
thoroughly sanitary condition. The
SOIL about the yard should be thor.
oughly disinfected. Whitewashing
the chicken house, lining and dig
glng up the earth in the runways
and exposing it to the strong, direct
rays of the sun are all helpful prac-
uces. In some cases, roupy LESSONS
may be developed from this disease.
In that event, more drastic treat
ment may be necessary. A good pro-
cedure is to wash out the mouth and
nostrils' with a per cent carbolio
ACID solution, or with so per cent
hydrogen peroxide, or with per cent
potassium permanganate. The treat
ment should be carefully and effec
lively done in order to prove of ma
terial benefit

Controlling Flies k!tacking Cattle

Controlling Flies k.tacl1ing Cattle
E. J. S., Leesburg, Ca,
writes: There is a small fly
something like a house fly that
is bottle rim, my cattle. They
almost cover the sides of the
COWS. Is there some preparation
can use for repelling and kill
ing the flies?
1t is difficult to say just what spe-
cies of fly is attacking your cattle
1t could be what is known as the
horn fly or it may be the stable
fly. The stable fly is not commonly
met with in the south, but OCCASION
ally there are outbreaks Of II which
prove very annoying and sometimes
destructive to live stock. The stable
fly is a biting insect. 1t is quite dlf-
ferent from the ordinary house fly,
and it naturally does live stock much
damage by piercing the skin and
sucking the blood. 1t is most 1rrI-
tating insect. The horn fly is much
smaller than the stable fly, the
wings are widely spread at the tips,
and it is usually present on cattle
only, where it occurs in small
swarms, moving from one part OF
the animal to another WhSn dis
turbed.
Some of the means which may be
used to protect live stock from these
flies are as follows: Darker the sta
bles and throw light covering over
the animals, or, better still, apply
a malodorous mixture, particularly
of an oily nature to the animals.
Mixtures of this character\ act as
expellents. 1t is important to be
careful in the preparation of these
mixtures to see that they are made
according to standard formulas. If
they are too strong, injury may
be done the skin Of the animals,
especially if they are worked in the
hot sun or exposed to bright sun
light at summer temperatures.
One of the best mixtures to use as
a repellent is as follows: Fish oil,
one gallon; Oil Of pine tar, two
ounces; Oil of pennyroyal, two
ounces, and kerosene, one pint.
This mixture must be applied almost
daily or every other day in moderate
amounts to the animals.
Traps may, Of course, be Used to
catch the flies. There is a great va
riety of them on the market, and
any standard sort may be used ef-
fectively.
1t is important to destroy the
breeding places of flies. This is ac-
complished by keeping yard manure
and litter from accommodating in the
yards and barns. Straw and trash
are the principal breeding places of
stable flies, and it is important to
keep these accumulattons away from
the stable.

Muck Soils as Sources of Plant
Food
H. E. P, Sylvester, Ca, writes:
Bordering my place is a dense
swamp with much underground.
Would it be economical to have a
hundred loads or so of this Vege-
tation hauled out and put in
piles to be scattered and plowed
in with oats this fall? I would
also rake up the leaves.
Very rich muck land can some
times be moved a short distance for
the purpose indicated in your letter
to advantage. Where one has to
haul it a long way, however, the
practice you suggest would not likely
prove profitable. There is a great
deal of variation in the plant food
content of muck. That which con-
sists almost entirely of vegetable
matter is likely to contain con-
siderable amount of nitrogen. AS a
rule, material of this kind is not
we'll supplied with phosphoric t-cld
and potash. Soils may be naturally
black on the other hand and contain
little nitrogen. In that event, it
hardly pays to move them any con-
siderable distance. This material will
benefit your land, however, and II
you desire, you might find it profit
able to move it, provided you have
sufficient labor.
We do not think you would gain
much benefit from scattering tWlgs
and trash over land. We would
prefer to rely on the use Of the dirt
or muck. This should be scattered
over the soil and well cultivated IN
the surface, after it has been allowed
TO aerate a while. It would not be
practicable to use lime on this soil
as muck soils are frequently sour.
The use of a thousand pounds or
more of finely ground lime rock per
acre will tend to correct this condi-
ton.
