Some Important Things That
Poultry Raisers Should Give
Attention To AT This Time

/. Sell all surplus ROSTERS when
they win weigh from ] IL to 2 lbs.
Don't think that because they are
purebred you should keep them all.
You will make more money by sell
ing them as fryers.
2. Continue to feed your pullets
well-Under-fed pullets win not de-
velop we'll and will make poor layers.
If you feed your pullets well now,
they will pay you back with eggs this
winter.
3. Watch out for lice and mites,
If you find them, get busy For lice,
use sodium fluride or some other
good proven remedy. Sodium flu
ride can be bought at all drug stores,
and in using it. be sure to follow in
structions on box.
For mites, clean houses and coops
good, burn all nesting materiaL all
litter and all rubbish of any kind in
the house; take out all movable parts,
then spray the house and parts with
kerosene. crude oil, or any strong dis
enfectanat. A coat of whitewash is
very effective, especially when one
pint OF crude carbolic acid is added to
each gallon of whitewash.

in a green, fertile valley with view
of the mountains in the distance.
The town had it's attractions, and
Lot was human. 1t was, however,

the low and vulgar and profane. He
