Chicken Lice Destroyed
by Dipping in Solution

Chicken lice can be easily destroyed
by dipping the birds in solution OF
sodium fiuorid and water. Five ounces
of sodium f1uorid dissolved in tub
containing Eve gallons of water will
be sufficient to treat 100 adult birds
or twice that number Of chickens ten
to twelve weeks old. Every bird on
the place should be drenched In this
solution to entirely eliminate poultry
lice for the next few months. Select
a warm day and dip the birds early
In the forenoon.

Convenient Nests Easy
to Keep in Good Order

Good nests are easy to clean and
easy to get at when collecting eggs,
they are most convenient to reach
when located under the dropping
boards or on the side walls. Unless
the dropping boards are at least four
feet from the floor. the nests should
not be under them.
There should be one nest for every
four birds in the pen. A box IL by II
inches is the most suitable size for the
average bird. A by 4-inch piece
placed about four inches in front Of
the nests will give the hen a place to
step from into the nest. By Ringing
this strip 1t can be used to close the
nests against pullets in the fall and
the broody hens in the spring.
The New Jersey experiment station
ranks nesting materials in the follow
ing order: hay, shavlngs. sawdust
and straw. To make cleaning easy.
they suggest building nests in sections
II by IL by 16 inches. with strip In
front Of by 4-inch material to hold
In the nest filler and a similar strip
for the back Of the nests This sets
on a platform the width Of the nests
and as long as the row Of nests is to
be. The nests are covered with top
of matched lumber which answers for
the platform for the second tier Of
nests. When 1t is desired to clean
the nests. they are simply pulled off
the platform and all the nest material
falls to the floor. These nests can be
used either under the dropping boards
or on the side walls.

Preparing Asparagus

To insure the best possible crop of
asparagus from your plants next
spring. cut the old stalks and burn
them as soon as the berries have
turned red this fall. Then apply a
mulch of well-rotted manure three or
four inches deep. This mulch will
prevent alternate freezing and thaw-
ing, which slows up so many aspara-
gus beds. and the manure may be
worked into the soil in the spring to
add to soil fertility. Asparagus is
such gross feeder that it is indeed
difficult to make the soil too rich.

Time to Cut Clover Hay

There is no exact date that can be
set nor any fixed rule to follow in cut
ting and curing hay. For the best
quality Of hay the cutting of clover
needs to be done when in full bloom
alfalfa and sweet clover even earlier.
Leave, In the, swath a half day or a
full day according to weather before
raking up. Aim to do most of the
drying and curing In the cocks. which
should be left two or three days be-
fore hauling into the barn. It Is adj
visable to open up the cocks few
hours before the hay Is taken to the
barn.

1t should be, cleaned well before put
ting 1t away for the season. All old
dirt and grease should be removed
and then all exposed bearings should
receive an application Of heavy lubri-
eating oil. It is well to remove the
spark plugs and pour some heavy lu-
bricating Oil into the cylinders in order
to get good coat of oil on the cylin-
der walls and pistons. This will pre-
vent rust from forming.

Cut Soy Beans for Hay

It is generally considered that while
soy beans may be cut for hay at al
most any stage, the best time is just
as soon as the pods are fully formed,
but before the seed Is formed. At
this time the maximum feed value
will be secured and the hay Is also
more palatable than when cut later.
Later harvesting gives somewhat
greater bulk. but less Of digestible
protein and somewhat lower palatabil-
ity. thus rendering that method less
satisfactory.

their willing and self-sacrifcing help,

There usually are from Is to 20

resides. Combat in the paddock evil
IDENTIFY is distasteful to him, for he
frequently separates two belligerent
buffalo bulls, shooting them aside in
different directions. Furthermore he
watches over the habits of the buffa-
loes. When he deems that they have
lolled in recumbent postures too long
and should be up and grazing, he goes
in among them, touching them light
~ with his antlers until they rise and
shamble away. Slattery declares he
never has seen the elk's authority dis
puted.

THREE BOYS SET
OUT TO CONQUER
Trio Are Picked up Here
as Runaways from Chi
cagO Homes.
PARENTS ARE NOTIFIED

Three Chicago boys, one eleven, one
twelve and one fourteen years of age,
decided early this week that school
days we're too near and awesome, and
that they would rather see a little
more of the world than be tied down
so soon to books and discipline. So
they put their heads and their pockets
together and decided to run away.
They got as far as Kenosha without
any noise being made about them, but
Thursday night at seven o'clock they
were picked up by Captain Clausen,
Detective McCluskey and officer Pecan.
One Gives Wrong Address.
The lads gave their names and adj
dresses as Edward Tiedge, twelve, of
4216 Kildare street; Stanley Jendre,
fourteen, of 20S8 Hobson avenue; and
George Pavelski, eleven, of 2070 Els
ten avenue, all of Chicago.
Captain Clausen notified the Chi
cago police department with directions
to advise the parents that the lads
were in custody here. This morning
the answering telegram from Chief
Collins stated that the parents of
Tiedge and Pavelski had been notified
but that the address give by Jendre,
the oldest of the trio. was that of
a vacant lot.

Check No Good
but Man Innocent
Judge Slater Hears Story of How {
Worthless Check Was Given on
Insurance Policy.

William G. Crawley, 1872 Newell
street, was brought into court this
morning on, the charge Of issuing a
worthless check. Crawley had given
a check of 1929 in payment on life
insurance policy, and when the check
came from the bank it was marked
''no funds"
Crawley told the court that he had
given the check in good faith, gone
out of town, and returned to find that
his partner in business had used the
funds which he thought available. His
version of the matter impressed the
court. Judge Slater said that if
there was no intent to defraud there
was no offense, and directed that the
matter be held open while the district
attorney investigated it. Garland
Jacobs was the complainant, but he
indicated that the complaint would be
withdrawn as soon as the matter was
settled between the parties.

MANY CITIES
ADOPT ZONING
Kenosha One of 261 Cities
of Country to Have
Zoning Ordinance.
Al NEW THIS YEAR
Report of Department of Com
merce Lists Kenosha as One
of Cities Planning Zoning.

Kenosha is one of Al cities of the
country that has adopted coming or
dinance within the past year, accord
ing to a bulletin issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce, a copy of which
reached Kenosha this morning. The
bulletin declares that with Al new
municipalities reported for the year
thus far, the number of coming ordi-
nances now in effect throughout the
United States totals 261, representing
all grades of cities.
Among the cities listed as recently
adopting zoning ordinance are many
similar in size and situation to Keno
sha, including Beloit, Little Rock, NAL
dem. Mass, Bismarck. N. D., Tulsa,
Okla. Oil City, Pa, Columbia, S. @,
and many others. Several of the larg-
err cities of the country such as Cin-
cinnati, Minneapolis, Boston, Albany
and Omaha adopted more comprehen-
sive coming ordinances than had been
in effect previously.
Shows Increased Interest.
The bulletin declares that the zon-
ing movement is steadily growing, Civ
ing the following comment regarding
the increase in interest in zoning:
The people IF the United States are
showing an increased interest in zon-
ing to control the use, height and area
of buildings in various districts Of
their communities, and in consequence
coming laws have been enacted or are
being considered by nearly every state
in the union. The first step is to adopt
state coming enabling act after which
the authorities of the cities, towns,
boroughs, villages or other municipali-
ties may adopt zoning ordinances to
fit local conditions.
Thirteen States Adopt Zoning.
Thirteen of the states that have enact
ed zoning legislation since Jan. /, 1928,
have used all or a substantial portion
of "a Standard State Zoning Enabling
Act, which was prepared by the Advls-
DRY Committee on Zoning of the De-
partment of Commerce to serve as a
model for those desiring to introduce
zoning legislation in their states. The
great care used in the preparation OF
the Standard Act had much to do with
its favorable reception.
During 1925 the legislatures of "a
states will meet, most of them early
in January, and it is expected that zon-
ing legislation will occupy prominent
place on the legislative calendars. In
nine of these states which have not as
yet passed coming legislation, various
groups plan to have coming enabling
acts considered early in the sessions.
In some of the other 25 states, which
now have zoning laws, plans are be-
ing made to extend the application OF
their acts since they grant the privilege
of coming only to single cities or spec
ifc groups.

.HIRST MAKES APPEAL
TO STATE LABOR MEN
Hirst Declares That He FavOrs Better
Labor Conditions and Amendments
to Compensation Laws.

Oshkosh, Wis.-An appeal to labor of
the state was made by "A. r. Hirst, Re-
publican candidate for governor, speak
ing here yesterday. Hirst declared he
favors better working conditions for
pensation laws which would permit
trials in local circuit courts on COM
pensation cases rather. than in the
circuit court of Dane county.
The gubernatorial candidate also
urged support of the constitutional
amendment to permit the legislature to
appropriate funds for reforestation
and preservation work. He advocated
a survey of dependents in the state to
determine what measures should be
adopted to better their condition.
"The doctrine that labor is a mere
commodity is abhorrent," Hirst said.
Labor is entitled to carry on its work
under sanitary and healthful condi-
tions, it is entitled to not only a liv-
ing but a saving wage. An amendment
should be passed to the compensation
law so that when an appeal is taken
from decision of the industrial com
mission, it could be taken by the local
circuit court instead of by the cir
cult at Madison, which involves ex-
pense and delay.
"a complete survey should be made
of dependents and detectives in Wis
consin, with a view to meeting this
menacing problem by preventive meth
DDS rather than to let the evil grow
and the number of inmates in our
public institutions increase / great
ly regret that the executive vetoed the
bill which was passed in the last leg
islature providing for a comprehensive
investigation and aimed at formulating
a constructive program that would al
lay the alarming growth of mental
detectives and delinquents.

stitutional amendment empowering the
legislature to vote tax of two-tenths
of a mill for acquiring and preserving
and propagating state forests. The
timber of Wisconsin is rapidly disap-
pearing and unless something is done
to reproduce it it will be necessary for
the timber working plants to move to
other parts of the country"

"For most types of construction
it is now possible to build the
year round in all parts of the
United States" This is the con-
clusion reached by committee on
Seasonal Operation in the Con-
struction Industries, appointed by
Herbert Hoover, Secretary of
Commerce, which has just COM
pleted what is described as the
first national effort to examine the
causes of the seasonal ups and
downs in a group of industries
employing millions of men, the
value of whose products is more
than five billion dollars a year"
The committee points out that
it is not reasonable to crowd all
the years building into the five or
six months of spring and summer.
Carpenters, rnasons, painters, plas-
terers, electricians, plumbers and
other artisans who are engaged in
the building trades have to live
the year round although they are
