Use Sodium Fluoride to
Kill Lice on Chickens

For killing lice on chickens sodium
fluoride dust can be applied by the
pinch method and one pound is usually
considered sufficient for about 100
mature birds. Place pinch beneath
the vent and on back, breast. head,
neck and on the thighs and tail. About
ten or twelve pinches Of the dust for
each bird should control the lice.
Dipping is only used in warm wealth
er. An ounce of sodium fiuoride to a
gallon of water is satisfactory. Use
mildly warm water to reduce the chill
received by the birds. Hold the hen
by the base of the wings in one hand.
AS the bird is dipped in the solution
the feathers are ruffled with the other
hand, to permit the solution to reach
all parts readily. immense the head
quickly and then drain and free the
bird. Dipping is little more economi-
cal of material and does quite thor
ough job.

Straw or Other Bedding
Will Save LIQUID Manure

In the average horse and cattle
stall, where flushing with hose is not
practiced, the cheapest and most sat
isfactory way of saving the liquid ma
nure is by using plenty of straw or
other bedding to absorb it. This pro-
duces large amount of valuable
manure which should go onto the
fields at the earliest opportunity.
! In large and well-equipped dairy
stables, where there is concrete gut
ter and manure alley and where these
are flushed every day with hose
drains are usually provided to run the
liquid manure into concrete cistern
From the cistern it is sometimes
pumped onto the spreader loads OF
manure as they are hauled to the
fields, while in other cases they are
pumped into tank wagons or sprinkling
carts and spread in that way.

Proof That Molasses Is y
Not Best Food for Pigs

The Pennsylvania experimental sta
ton tells of an experiment where one
lot of pigs was fed two parts shelled
corn, one part molasses, and tankage
on rape, pasture. The pigs without
molasses gained about one-fifth pound
more than the pigs with molasses.
Moreover, it took about two pounds of
molasses to equal in feeding value one
pound Of corn. Pigs do not seem to be
as fond Of molasses as cattle are.
With corn and molasses as they usual
ly prevail it would seem from the
Pennsylvania experiments that 1t is
only doubtfully worth while to feed
molasses to hogs.

Food Value of Sweet and
Sour Milk About EQUAL

There is undoubtedly some special
value to sour milk owing to the acid
which it contains and which is of some
assistance to the digestive process. In
simple food value, sweet and sour
milk are the same. Probably there is
little If any advantage to feeding in
either way. The principal point is to
feed it one way or the other at all
times and not to change or alternate
from one to the other. Either sweet
or sour skim milk fed in ample quaint.
ties is not only an extraordinary good
feed. but has proved itself to be about

Beekeepers Find

Popular Sweet Is as Old as

(Prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
Beekeeping is an industry under de-
velopment In this country as pr ic ap-
probation of honey as food continues
to grow and create demand. Honey
Is sweet as old as the race and al
ways held in esteem. Its flavor and
aroma vary with the predominating
kind of flower which the bees visit.
Besides Its use for table purposes
honey is much used in cooking to re-
pie ce all or part of the sugar, and it
serves purpose like that of sugar In
the diet-it is source Of energy In
readily available form.
The research of the bee-culture lab
oratOry of the bureau of entomology of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture Is intended to throw light on
the problems which arise in the bee
keeping industry, such as the diseases
affecting bees and the factors affecting
the flow, flavor Or color of honey.

Is heavy. While the beekeepers Of the

caring for their bees as well, as ever
and are sending as many inquiries to
the United States Department of Agri-
culture as formerly.
Divisions Cooperate.
Several other divisions of the de-

Weight of Egg Shells

One scientist has found that 8 per

shell to cover the eggs of a hen pro-

an idea of what high powered shell
factory the 200 to 300-egg hen must
be. It means that oyster shells must
always be present or the hen cannot

WHAT CONGRESS FOUND OUT

About all the great epidemic OF senatorial IN
vestigations amounted to except hundreds OF
thousands in expense, was the confirmation OF the
fact that Fall, former secretary of the interior
had borrowed 100000 from Doheney. This was
not a crime, though reprehensible under the cir
cunnstances. However, the senatorial inquisitors
knew all about it when they started their investl-
cation. It wasn't crime they were after, it was
political publicity. In the Dougherty case, Dough
erty has signifed his intention of not paying any
more attention to the buzz of gnat Wheeler's po-
litical publicity attempts, knowing the inyestl-
CATION was for political effect only.
In any event the democrats should be given
credit for starting a great backfire to cover up
the billions the democrats squandered during the
war, and for which the people are still digging uI
income tax. There are many people who are not
going to forget why they are paying high rates
of income tax since the war, great part OF which
went to make several thousand millionaire war
profiteers. These nillionaires were made by the
squandering gang who were financed during the
war by the democratic administration.
Paying the legitimate debt caused by the war
caused no complaint, but a large number of people
still think it was unnecessary to make thousands
of nlilhonaires on the SIDE
Many an old stockman out in this country, when
he pays his income tax on what he thinks he is
ahead, is wondering just what kind of critters
they were that necessitated the purchase of three
or four copper branding irons to brand one animal
with.
We are particularly annoyed by democrats, but
have no use for either democrats or republicans
who steal from their countrymen and attempt to
prove their patriotism at the same time. polit-
ical thief is just as bad as any other kind of
darned thief and the party he belongs to does not
excuse him.
