Keep Vermin Away

One Of the best methods to keep
poultry free from lice is to provide a
"dust BATH This may be made of a
box large enough to accommodate sew
eral fowls at time and partly filed
with road dust, tobacco dust and sui
phur according to the following pro-
portion: Road dust, 6 parts; tobacco,
/ part; sulphur, 2 handfuls. Dipping
chickens In 2 per cent solution of
chlorine is also recommended for the
control Of lice

Poultry Notes

X x x x X X X X X ~ MI
Head lice kill chicks and poults.
Sell the males and produce infertile
eggs.
Keep brooding baby chicks until
they are fully feathered.
You can count your chickens before
they hatch If you observe carefully
the correct principles of egg selection
and incubation.
Wood floors for poultry houses are
a little cheaper in first cost, but rot
easily and are difficult to keep clean
and free from vermin.
The location of the poultry house
requires very careful consideration, as
it has a great deal to do with the con-
venience Of handling and tho success
with which the work is carried out.
The half-monitor type of poultry
house is much used, being very SINH
lar in construction to the same type
of hog house.

Test Qualities
Of Many Grains
Milling and Baking Labora-
tory Set Up by Agricul-
tural Department.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Tests Of the milling and baking
qualities of wheat, rye and other
grains are being made by the bureau
Of agricultural economics, United
States Department of Agriculture, at
Washington in a milling and baking
laboratory specially set up for that
purpose. The work has played an
important part in fixing federal wheat
standards, and in determining the mill
ing and baking qualities of new va
rieties Of wheat.
Determine Value of Wheat.
The value of wheat almost entirely
depends on it's milling and baking
quality, which can be accurately de-
termined only through actual milling
and baking tests, the department says.
The milling is done on an experiment
tai mill composed of four single stands
Of rolls of 6 by 6 inches in size, and
including small box sitter. The sys-
TEN of milling used, although not al
together comparable with that used in
commercial milling, gives results that
indicate as truly the relative milling
value af different wheats as tests
made an commercial mills. Each sam
pie is Snalyzed for grading factors be-
fore being milled, the size of the sam
pies being about four pounds each.
The samples are prepared for mill
ing 0sS small cleaning and securing
machines patterned after those used
in commercial mills, the system of
milliAg employed differing from that
of commercial mills mainly in that
there is no continuous or automatic
flow of stock from one machine to
another. The system includes five
breaks and eight reductions, as made
possible in some instances by using
the same machine for two or more
operations.
Electric Equipment
The baking equipment includes an
electrically heated proofng cabinet,
electric baking oven, dough mixer, and
loaf volume measuring device. The
sponge method Of baking is used, all
samples of -four being baked in du-
plicate, the average Of the two tests
representing the baking data. The
same formula is used In baking all
samples, regardless Of the class of
wheat, with the exception Of the guam
tity of water added and the length of
time used in proofing the dough. All
factors such as temperature of the
oven, are constant so that any differ
ences shown in the bread will be due
to the flour and not to variations in
manipulation of the formula and
methods.
The bread Is judged for color and
texture of crumb one or two days af-
ter baking. These factors considered
ia connection with the water absorb
ton of -four, the loaf volume, and the
weight of loaf determine the baking
quality Of the sample. Full details OF
the milling and baking methods and
apparatus have just been published In
Department Bulletin 1887, entitled
Experimental Milling and Baking"

free upon request to the Department

Guard Against Sore Necks

Regardless of how we'll harness may
fit. there Is always danger Of sores
starting on the shoulders, neck and
back. Once a sore starts, 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to heal so long as the
horse must work every day. A few
minutes spent each half day cleaning
collars and back pads will save time

w. Fl. Strowd Of the state feed in
spection division estimates that Badger
farmers spend over $15,000,000 annu-
ally for feed from outside the state.
The large dairy COW population in
Wisconsin uses more feed and more
kinds of feed than the state produces.
Many regions and climates are called
upon to help feed the COW that gives
the milk that makes Wisconsin first
among the dairy states.
A comparatively short road, Strowd
says, leads to the source of the most
important feed for the dairyman. Prob
ably as much wheat feeds, including
bran, shorts, low-grade -four, and other

Running Water in the House

That there is room for Improvement
in the devices for the convenience
and privacy of home life Is shown by
the 1920 census report. According to
the federal enumerators 80 per cent
Of all farms in the United States had
autos and 38 per cent telephones, but
only 10 per, cent had running water
piped into the houses. Nine-tenths Of
the farm women still have to haul wa
ter for cooking and washing from out
in the yard.

Infertile Eggs Contain 1.
Some Important Elements

Feeding Of infertile eggs that have
been candled out of an incubator was
mentioned in recent issue of the
Orange Judd Farmer. 1t was sug-
gested that these be cooked and
ground up to feed baby chicks. Some
complaint is made about the odor OF
these eggs. Don't let that brighten
anyone. If they are thoroughly cooked
there is no danger to the chicks. Even
the eggs containing dead germs If
candled out before they are too far
along, make good feed.
The chicks thrive on these ground
eggs, and they furnish some important
feeding elements. The shells can be
ground up with the eggs. Frequently
the number of eggs tested out Of In
cubators is small. In such a case,
market eggs are usually profitable as
a feed for the first two weeks.

Tliirty-four counties III the United
States have the distinction of contain

sires are used exclusively for all kinds
of live stock raised and whose owners
are using breeding methods leading to
still further Improvement.
The list of counties, which is con-

shows that the counties are located in
the following states: Virginia, Ohio,
Kentucky, West Virginia, Washington,

D. A. R. MEETS WITH
MISS LOUISE M NULTY
WEATHER PRE-
VENTED MANY FROM AT
TENDING GATHERING.

On account Of the illness of Mrs,
G. w. Dozier the Stone Castle chap
ter, d. A. R., met at the home OF the
regent, Miss Louise McNulty. Owing
to the inclemency OF the weather on
1y few were present.
The coziness and comfort of the in
terror and the cordial welcome of the
hostess made those who ventured
forth feel more than repaid for the
effort
In accordance with D. A. R. re-
quests for conservation of holly pine
boughs were used for decorations in
stead, blight poinsettas and growing
bulbs were appropriate reminders OF
the approaching yultide.
There were very few reports from
officers and chairmen of standing COM
mittees Those present paid their state
and national dues. A motion was
carried that the chapter send $40 to
the fund for the completion OF Geor-
gia bay in the Washington memorial
at Valley Forge. A motion was also
passed to assume one monthly pay
ment on reference books for the Ii
brary of the public schools.
Each member was urged to read the
pamphlet prepared by the late Mrs.
Trammell, chairman OF national patri-
otto education, "Reds in America" 1t
was considered so worth while by hte
president general that she had it pub
lished and sent to all chapters that
we might be forewarned against the
spread of this order in America.
The daughters were requested to re-
member the beautiful custom and to
burn a candle in the window on Christ
mas eve night AS only small sum
was contributed to the empty stocking
fund by the chapter the members were
asked to contribute literally as indi-
viduals in order that Christmas time
would be frightened to many who
would be benefited by the fund.
The first number on the program
was the reading of a paper, Georgia
and Forestry" prepared by Mrs. ].
Williams, and read in her absence by
Mrs. L. c. Hoyl. Miss Wilma Cos
ton. of Parrot, gave a very interesting
patriotic reading In the absence OF
Mrs. |. c. Melton the current events
were read by Mrs. R. E. Bell. The
program closed with vocal solo by
Mrs. R r. Jones, accompanied on the
piano by Miss Bertha Lee.
The few present enjoyed the ihfor-
NAL social hour during which the hos
tess served tempting salad course.

BIG SUM IS SPENT TO
ENRICH GEORGIA FARMS
To Increase Production 672,s53 Tons
Fertilizer Used at Cost S13, 114,983.

During the growing season Of 1924
Georgia farmers used 672553 tons of
fertilizer, according to a report OF DR..
S. H. Wilson, state chemist, made
public by ]. J. Brown, commissioner
OF agriculture. This fertilizer was val
ued at approximately $131l4,983, and
represented the largest investment
ever made by Georgia farmers to in
crease their production.
A close watch was kept on every
ton of fertilizer sold in the state. The
state chemist analysed 5000 samples
during the year, in an effort to pro-
tect the farmers from buying inferior
grades.

Ul" WILLIAM ULLnAN.


Since taxation is a foremost issue OF
The year, and a main topic for discus
sion among the People, il is quite
natural that the master Of motor We
hic1c taxation shouL3 come in for a
fair Share of the discussion.
The motorist already burdened by
registration fees. the federal tax on
car purchases. personal property taxes
and, IN many states, the gasoline tax,
IS ever on the alert for further tax
alton proposals. but these frequently
slip through the routine OF law max
ing and become q reality while his at
something else.
There is movement on foot just
row, for instance. TO advocate a Spa-
"iai levy on motor car vehicles to
AXE care Of all road matntenance
ct the average motnrist has no idea
% what Is brewing and probably
would not move rapidly enough to
block il should its advocates make a
concerted effort to push it to compile
ton.
The latest form of proposed taxa
ton of motor vehicles is particularly
important for the motoriSi to consider
.aretultr because il is essseciaily un-
desirable. II is the result of a grow
ing tendency of those who have spe-
"ial interests at stake to consider. rail-
an. hnd highWay transportation as one
Sub1ect with view to making the
motorist shoulder some of the excess
Sive taxation imposed upon the rail-
roads and other common carriers.
Unfair Burden Predicted
1t is predicted by those who are
following this trend carefully that
unless the car owners of the country
g ND .,s sfa,, .
TO pool taxation burdens they will be
paying out of all proportion for their
use OF the highways.
Briefly, the argument put forward
by those who are seeking to co-ordi-
nate transportation facilities and put
motoring in the same plight as many
Of the railroads is this:
The motor vehicle derives a special
benefit from the improved highway
and should, therefore. bear the entire
Expense of maintaining these roads
n as good condition as when they
were built. Each form of transpor-
tation, it is argued. should bear its
fair share of the burden Of public
expenditure.
Here. in nutshell. the motorist
finds simply another instance where
an effort to help him pay his fair
share can easily be turned into an
opportunity to gouge him a little
more. There can be no question that
the car owner is not being taxed on
sensible basis, but the fact remains
for 1t has been demonstrated time and
time again--that as soon as a fair"
form of taxation is introduced ii does
not substitute for the former illogical
methods, but actually supplements
them.
Tax Reductions Few.
The gasoline tax was advocated in
many states In the belief that II
would serve as a fair form of taxa
tion through roughly charging each
nctorist for his road use, but with
very few exceptions there has not
heen a single reduction of the many
