New Seed Treatment Is
Time Saver for Farmer

One great advantage in using the
copper carbonate dust method for
treating seed wheat and oats for the
control of smut is the fact that the
work can be done In the late fall or
winter when other farm tasks are less
arduous. J. G. Leach, plant authority
Of the University Of Minnesota, says
that two ounces Of the copper carbon
ate dust should be used for each
bushel of grain. After treatment the
grain can be sacked or stored in bin
until spring, when 1t Is ready to plant
without further attention. This
method has given results as good as
any obtained with formaldehyde," !"
says Mr.. Leach. "It causes no seed in
Jury, is less trouble to apply and all
the work can be done In the fall or
winter before the spring rush."

Takes Brains and Pains
to Produce Winter Eggs

Whistling, or speaking gently. or
knocking on the door to let the hens
know when he is coming, will save the
poultryman several eggs in the days
gathering, says Prof. Willard c.
Thompson, poultry husbandman of the
New Jersey experiment station, in a
circular on 1.-The Winter-Tme Manage
ment of the Laying Flock
Fright, he goes on to say, Is often
fatal to and always interferes with nor
NAL egg production. Hence the neces-
sity of having the poultryman move
slowly through the pens.
Fresh air in the, laying house at all
times is another essential to maximum
egg production, according to Professor
Thompson. The reasons for the neces-
sity Of having fresh air are that the
expiring breath of fowls is heavily
laden with moisture, as 1t carries many
liquid waste products Of the body
processes, which in other animals are
given off through the sweat glands and
through the urinary system.
Moisture in the expiring breath Of
fowls, If not carried out Of the house,
saturates the atmosphere and creates
dampness quickly. The poisons in the
expiring breath of fowls when rein
hailed, cannot but deplWe the vitality
Of the birds.
Then, because there are usually a
large number Of fowls per unit of floor
space, all the air that can possibly be
given should be furnished.
Heavy dry mash consumption Is one
Of the principal requirements which
the author mentions for good supply
of eggs in winter.

Rattling in Breathing
Not Uncommon in Fowls

Ratting In breathing is not uncom-
mon among fowls Of all ages. 1t Is
usually due to too much mucus In the
throat, windpipe or bronchial tubes.
Anything that irritates the lining Of
the breathing tubes increases the mu-
Gus flow and produces an obstructed
breath. Bronchitis, canker, roup and
other acute diseases may show this
symptom. The constant breathing Of
dry dust, especially IL it be gritty and
alkaline, Is sometimes responsible
where fowls show this trouble but
have no real disease. In Its advanced
stages, 'rattles" is hard disease to
cure. The best help comes through
prevention. Pure air, clean dropping
boards and floors, sweet food and wa
ter do more to prevent "rattles" than
drugs

Average Gain of 60 Bushels

With few exceptions, large gains In
yield have been obtained by spraying
potatoes as a protection against insect
pests and diseases, says Farmers Bull
letin 1349. Increasing the Potato Crop
by Spraying" just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture This
fact has been established by extensive
experiments conducted In New York
and Vermont. During 10-year period,
at different experiment stations In New
York state. an average gain Of 60 BUSH
els an acre was obtained. At the Ver-
mont station, during 20-year period,
which involved all possible seasonal
variations, an average gain of 1O5
bushels an acre, or GA per cent over
the unsprayed, resulted. 81
In addition, records taken from b
business point Of view on a series of
experiments of nine-year dura-
ton, conducted by farmers under the
direction of the New York state ex-
pertinent station, show large gains.
The average cost of spraying. includ-
ing materials, labor and wear and tear
on machinery, was $4.74 an acre. The
nine-year average increase In yield
due to spraying was 36 bushels an
acre, making a net profit of SLAB an

One would naturally strive for the
simplest possible furnishings in flirting
out this home for occupancy. You will
appreciate the fact that many Of our
quaint cottages in America are bor-
rowed almost bodily. as to exterior
design, from peasant homes In foreign
countries. But fortunately American
well-being and conditions Of life en-
able us to give homes OF this kind q
character typically modern, and while
we may be better able to furnish them
comfortably, we ought to strive to
maintain that degree Of simplicity In
the furnishings which would make the
home interior be in keeping with the
simplicity and Quaintness Of the ex-
terror.
Thus, our interior walls might be
finished in rough plaster, OF lime or
magnesite, or using some of the spe'
cially patented mixtures now on the
market, and which give effective "tex.

Nicotine Treatment for
Stomach Worms of Sheep

Forty per cent nicotine sulphate is
better than copper sulphate for getting
rid of stomachworms Of sheep. re-
cent tests show. The nicotine sulphate
is easier to get, is more efficient, and
the after effects Of treatment do not
last so long. Three teaspoonfuls to a
quart Of water is the right strength,
and give four ounces of this solution
to each mature eve that weighs 100
pounds or more. For smaller animal,
more or less weak, use not more than
three ounces, and for five-months old
lamb, use not more than two ounces.

RALSTON- -FROSH TRIO
GOOD ENTERTAINERS

The Ralston-Frosh Trio, musical
entertainment given at Standard
Hall Monday night, under the aus
pices of the Catholic church, was
conceded to be one of the best ever
staged in Mountain Home. The pro-
gram consisted of readings, songs
and instrumental numbers, and all
members exhibited marked talent
and ability in their lines. 1t would
indeed be a hard matter to decide
which of the trio was the best, as the
fact was plain to be seen that they
were all real artists and could be
appreciated by those who enjoy
high class music. The citizens of
Mountain Home who missed this
entertainment lost out ON a real
treat, as it is seldom we are given
the privilege outside of the larger
cities of listening to high class per-
formers such as these. Mountain
Home people should show their ap-
probation of such worthwhile enter
tainments by patronizing them to a
greater extent.

was a mass of cut flowers and smilax,
where they were met by Rev. Father
Lobell, and the solemn Catholic ring
ceremony was performed in the pres
ence of the immediate family.
After the ceremony the bridal
party went to the home of the brides
sister, Mrs. Jess Snow, where a de-
Iicious five-course dinner was served.
The table was artistically decorated
with tall cut glass vases of flowers
and large three-story brides cake
forming the center. Covers were
laid for seventeen. The cake was
cut by the bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Starks left the same
evening for Glenns Ferry, where they
will make their future home.
The bride is the daughter of Mrs.
Celestia Rohrer and was reared and
received her education in this city.
Mr.. Starks is an engineer on the
Oregon Short Line, and is held in
high esteem by his many friends in
Glenns Ferry.
The couple were the recipients OF
many beautiful and useful gifts from

ATTENDS BIRTHDAY PARTY
WHILE IN THE CAPITAL

Mrs. Oda Temple and daughter
Aloise returned this week from
Boise, where they had been the past
ten days. While in the Capital City
they assisted at the celebration of
she ninth birthday of Mahlon Rhoads,
Bon of Mrs. Vern Leonard of that
place, and formerly manager of the
Elite millinery shop here. This was
Mahlon's first birthday party and it
was done in style to commemorate
the important day. A pretty color
scheme of red and white was used
throughout. A large white birthday
cake with nine red candles held the
place of prominence on the table.
At each place were hand painted
place cards, pretty kewpie dolls tied
with huge bow of red ribbon being
the fayors, and all-day suckers of
colored candies added to the attract
iveness of the table. Games fea-
tured the afternoon. An impromptu
speaking and singing contest, in
which each guest responded with
something they had learned, was
held, but the most excitable game of
all was pinning the nose on the clown
face. The guests remembered the
host with many useful gifts, things
that boys like and enjoy. May he
have many more such happy events.

ATTRIBUTE SUCCESS To
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

In an interview recently, Warren
Wright, president of the Calumet
Baking Powder Company, the largest
baking powder company in the
world, strongly advocated the use OF
newspaper advertising, and points to
Calumet's success as proof or MS
statement.
Calumet sales are 212 times as
much as any other brand" stated
Mr. Wright, "and we attribute this
to our lavish use of newspaper
space. We believe that the newspa-
per is the most direct medium we
can use in getting our message across
to the housewife and we know from
our experience covering thirty years
that the housewife will respond to
newspaper advertising quicker than
she will to any other form OF adyer-
tising."
"The housewives have confidence
in newspaper advertisements because
they know that the newspapers set
up high standards for their adver-
tisers. It is for that reason that the
housewife looks to the newspaper
for information on products in which
she is interested"
