IDR. HARRIS LEAVING
 POSITION IN TAMPA
Former New Britain Health
 Officer in New Controversy

Dr. Jesse n. Harris who served as superintendent of the Now Britain health department for q brief but es- eeedingly active term during which time that department occupied the limelight almost continually. will re- tire IA superintendent Of the Tampa. Fla. health department July l. his resignation on that date having been called for by the city's health com. mission, it is said.
 Discussing the actions which led up to the request for Dr. Harris resig. nation, the Tampa Daily News" points out that friction, was caused by his insistence on greater appropria- tions for his department. While in this city, Dr. Harris announced his intention of asking that the appro- priation be doubled and that three automobiles be purchased. one for each of his three sanitary inspectors.
 Dr. Harris also gained much pub licity through his unyielding enforce ment of quarantine, one of the re- suits Of which was the Goodrich case in which a public hearing was held following the death of a quarantined patient and the filing by the attend ing physician of a death certificate in which reflection was cast upon the health superintendent. Dr. Harris was dissolved from blame at the hear ing. He was also responsible for the bob veal" agitation of two years ago which occupied the attention of the common council for several months. During his stay here he characterized the city among other things, as the dirtiest city have ever seen."
 The Daily News" in its report of the action of the commission in call- ing for Dr. Harris retirement, has the following to say, in part:
 "Severe criticism was given Dr. Harris several months ago because oi satirical remarks he was said to have made at convention in St. Peters burg and following that event it be- came known that he was slated for removal. That he was to be let out was no secret to Dr. Harris, although he was not aware of the exact time, Dr. Harris had made objection to the conduct of affairs by the city man. ager, and insisted that the health de. partment be placed in position to re- ceive full credit for work conducted in Tampa toward improving con. ditions of health. This particular point was stressed by Dr. Harris wher the recent opening of the summer anti-mosquto campaign began, Cit! Manager w. Lesley Brown, co-ordi- mating the efforts of the health de- partment, sanitary department and engineering department in the fight against mosquitoes in prevention and eradication of the pests.

He said that the boys merely wanted to be "millionaires" for 8 day and attempt ed to enter several restaurants be- cause they were hungry. Judge Klett fined them for stealing robe from H. L. Platts automobile and gave them the suspended reformatory sentence on the attempted burglary charge.

Popular Geese and Ducks
for Market or Feathers

Farmers are realizing more and 0
that nothing but purebred geese should
be considered. For heavy geese, either
for market or feathers, there is little
to choose between the Toulouse, EN-
den or African. For quick growing.
heavy laying, small geese, either the
White or Brown China is good. For
market, Pekin ducks are grown; for
laying, Runner ducks are n Of the
best, and for home table ducks there
is only one superlative duck, the Mus
covy. Why this duck is not more gen
orally kept by farmers is a mystery.
Certainly, were it more generally
known what good eating they are, how
easily they propagate themselves, a
great many more would be grown Al
though the size of a large duck, they
are not really ducks but geese. They
will not, though, interbreed with other
ducks or geese.
They are silent or quackless. They
do best if allowed to make their OWE
nests and hatch and real their own
young and are remarkably successful
at this. Muscovy ducks come in two
colors (black and white) and white.
Their principal faults are that they
are inclined to be pubnacious with
other poultry and on being moved may
not be good breeders the first year or
two, or may not breed at all. They are
very hardy and long-lived.

Fowls Will Respond to
Proner Care in SUNNI!

ut may be stated without fear of
contradiction says A. G. Smith. chief
Of the division of poultry husbandry
at University Farm, that under aver
age conditions farm fiocks yield no
more than % per cent during the sum
mer months. while, IL well managed,
the yield will practically be doubled
at small additional expense"
The reasons given by Professor
Smith for the failure of farm 1ocks to
maintain April production are than at
the season advances the supply of In
sects and young, tender greens be-
comes insufficient to supply more than
the needs Of the body; hat external
parasites become abundant during the
hot weather; that coops are poorly
ventilated, and that broody hens are
~mismanaged.
To maintain production, he says,
fiocks must be plentifully fed with a
balanced ration of grains and animal
food and with an unlimited supply Of
green's, grit and oyster shells. Wal
must be necessarily waged against
mites and lice. Houses must be kept
cool and comfortable by regulating the
ventilation to suit the day and the
weather. Broody hens must be brok-
en- up at once by removing them from
the nest and putting them where there
are no nests and no places to set.
With good treatment and ample feed
inc tha hons will soon rQfIIrn RI work
All sick hens must be removed while
those that are healthy and in good
flesh but do not lay should be culled
out at least once a month and sent to
market.
Some of the university focks are
now giving 80 and 60 per cent produc-
tion as a result of proper care and
management, according to Professor
Smith.

Breeding ducks lay more fertile eggs
If allowed bathing water in a pond or
small stream. The breeders should be
given plenty of pasturage.
When a hen leaves her nest, or
when the temperature of the incubator
gets too high or too low weak chicks
will result. A chick that needs to be
helped out of the shell isn't worth
saving.
A healthy turkey loves to roam and
should be induced to do so by not
being fed too literally in the norm
ing. When about time for them to
come home to roost, have feed, water
and grit near their roosting places.
If the chicks are puny, look up the
cause at once. Something is most
surely wrong with their are or an
cestry.
A record of 20 fiocks of scrub hens
showed that during 120 winter days
they averaged laying one egg apiece
each week. This is an awful record.
Turkeys are seldom sick and should
not be continually dosed with nos
trums or medicines. If one is sick in
vestigate and treat according to symp
toms.

means Of keeping the flock healthy.
Whitewashing makes the quarters

AS a Mouth Wash

A solution of one teaspoonful Zonite added 10
one-quarter glass of water used night and morning
as q mouth wash will destroy breath odors and
act as an excellent preventive against pyorrhea.
Dental authorities have stated that the daily use of
Zonite in this manner, together with regular dental
inspection, reduces the likelihood Of contracting
this disease to q minimum.

For Cuts and Wounds

Zonite should be promptly applied to a fresh cut
or wound to destroy the germs which cause blood
poisoning and other similar forms of infection. In
addition to acting as a disinfectant, it will shorten
the process of healing and greatly reduce the usual
pain and inflammation.
