Common Salt or Flake
Naphthalene for Fleas

w. P. Flint, Illinois state ento-
mologist, recommends common salt or
fake naphthalene for fieas.
The best method for fieas Is first to
clean out the manure or straw from
pig or cattle sheds or from barns, espe-
cially in the case of dirt floors, where
farm animals are in the habit of lying
down or standing. The ground or floor
of the building should then be covered
with good layer of salt, enough being
put on to form a thin white coating
over the ground. This should be al
lowed to remain in place for at least a
week and then washed down, OF it may
be allowed to stay until 1t gradually
diSsolves.
Flake naphthalene may be substituted
for the SALT The crude fake naphtha-
lene can be bought In bulk. A strong
I've solution applied to the soil also
has been used effectively for cleaning
UP the young fieas. IF the salt or
naphthalene cannot be applied, the
floors or ground around the infested
premises should be thoroughly sprayed
with a strong stock dip. preferably a
creesote, or tobacco dip.

themselves. A roosting frame, made
for Asiatic fowls, is made Of chestnut
stripstwo inches square, with the edges
of the upper part rounded off to make

Three of these strips are fastened to
frames made of the same material for
supports. The whole Is fastened to the
wall by rings fixed in staples, so that
1T can be turned up and held against

ALL ABOUT DATES

A NY subject is interesting when you
"A know enough about it. In re
sent issue Of the Retailers Journal Is
an article on Dates" that tells NANNY
facts about this fruit which has been
an important and valuable food for
man for many centuries.
When Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomb was
opened by Lord Carnarvan and How
ard Carter, dried dates were found,
probably part of the lunch of Some
workmen. So We know that dates
were used as food in Egypt over 5000
years ago. Through all the ages they
have been one of the important foods
in common use in Egypt, Arabia, Syria
and Mesopotamia. And with good rea-
son. Dates are an unusually fine food
They contain large amounts Of car
bohydrates in the form of sugar. This
sugar is particularly nourishing and
digestible form, because 1t comes from
the date itself and is developed by the
sunlight as the date ripens. Most
figs, prunes, raisins and others. are
picked first and dried afterwards. The
date is the only fruit which dries on
the tree and is not picked until 1t is
dry. When the date Is fresh, it Is
moist, soft and plump like a plum. Ii
is left on the tree and the fierce trop-
ical sun not only ripens and dries ii
but literally bakes the sugar into 1t.
AS ii becomes dry and firm, il is
crystallized In its own sugar
Dates are an unusually good food
not only on account of their sugar con-
tent and their easy digestlbility, but
also because they contain vegetable
fats and a small amount of proteins
This amount is not enough for the
body, so as a food they must be sup
plemented by some protein-bearing
foods. For this reason, milk Is an
ideal food to combine with dates, and,
strangely enough, that is what ali
primitive peoples do. Knowing moth.
ing about proteins or carbohydrates.
the Arabs learned, centuries ago, that
dried dates and camels milk were an
ideal diet.
Dates are also rich in mineral salts.
especially lime and IRON SO they are
good for growing children and for pale
women and girls.
Many American families have learned
that from experience and add dried
dates TO their morning dish of cereal.
This makes an excellent food and is
far better for children than heavy and
indigestible candies.

Mice and Rabbits Will

Rolls IS inches wide may be used for
cottontails, and the material cut into
one-foot lengths. One of the sections
is rolled into cylindrical shape about
the trunk of each tree and fastened at
several places by bending and twist
ing the projecting ends Of wire.
Guards should be left on the trunks
as long as the trees require protection.
They may be adapted to protection
from both meadow mice and rabbits
by using wire of finer mesh and by
pressing the lower edges into the
ground. ga
Veneer and other forms of wooden
protectors are popular and have sew
eral advantages when used for cotton
tail rabbits. When left permanently
upon the trees, however, they furnish
retreats for insect pests. The labor
of removing and replacing them is
considerable but they have the advan-
tage, when pressed well into the soil,
of protecting the trees from both mice
and rabbits.

Watch Incubator
During Matching
Supply of Heat, Moisture and
Ventilation Is of Much
Importance.

Incubators are in use during winter
on many farms and in commercial
hatcheries from which young chicks
are supplied to the trade. To be sue
cessful with the hatch, the incubator
must be carefully looked after.
A fertile egg with a strong germ
will hatch into strong, vigorous chick
II care is taken in supplying the proper
heat, plenty of moisture, sufficient ven
tilation, and the egg is turned. A
chick matches normally in 81 days but
the amount Of heat determines this
time and If the eggs are kept too hot,
the chicks may hatch in 10 or 20
days.
Heat In Incubator.
According to A. G. Oliver, poultry
extension specialist at the North Caro-
lima State college. the heat occurs in
the incubator in layers and for best
results should be 103 degrees on top of
the eggs, 100 degrees at the middle of
the eggs and 81 at the bottom. During
cold weather the heat zones are mar
rover and where air is forced through
the machine, the heat is properly dis
tributed.
Mr.. Oliver states that moisture in
the incubator is next in inportanc. to
heat. Too much moisture prevents
evaporation and causes the chick to
become strangled with liquid in its
attempt to breathe. Too little mois-
ture causes such quick evaporation
that the air cell is so large the chick
cannot break the shell to get out. 1t
reduces the amount of food in the egg
and results In a small, understood
chick being Matched.
Benefit Of Ventilation.
Ventilation brings to the egg oxygen
and takes away the poisonous carbon
dioxide gas. The chick is factory,
says Mr.. Oliver, using the oxygen and
egg material to build body and ex-
polling the gas. Thus it is important
to ventilate the incubator so as to adj
just this process to correct proportions.
By carefully turning the eggs. all of
these things are equalized in the egg
and the embryo is given exercise.
Mr.. Oliver advises anyone first be-
ginning to run an incubator to write
for free bulletin telling how to do it.

Ventilation Needed
for Stored Tubers
Temperature Slightly Above
Freezing Is Ideal.

The ideal temperature for the pota-
to storage room is slightly above
freezing. Authorities disagree as to
the exact temperature, but no doubt
1t should be somewhere between "a
and 3S degrees Fahrenheit. The po-
tato is alive and continues its life ac-
tivities while in storage. If the tenn
perature is high and all other condi-
lions are favorable, the tuber sprouts,
thus reducing its store of plant food.
Each set of sprouts that develop is
weaker than the former set.
Perhaps the. most neglected factor
in the storage of potatoes is that of
ventilation. Respiration goes on in
the stored potato and during this proc
ess oxygen is utilized, while certain
gases which are detrimental to the
stored tuberS are given off into the
air. 1t is only through ventilation
that there can be an exchange of good
and poor air. On warm days, when it
is possible, the storage room should
be opened and free ventilation per-
mitted. On cold days it will be nee
essary to use only the regular pro-
vided ventilation. In the ventilation
of potatoes. especially those that are
to be eaten, it is important that light
be kept out of the storage ROOM.

Artificial Lights Will
Help in Producing Eggs

Shorter days mean less time In
which hens can eat. and therefore
fewer eggs. Artificial lights can help
lengthen the days shortened by nature
in these months when eggs are scarce
and prices high. If properly used,
lights will often prevent a pullet mott
and will increase the egg production
when eggs are high in price. But the
lights must be properly used.
Three lighting plans successfully
used are these:
The evening lunch plan: Turn the
lights on at nine o'clock at night for
an hour.
The morning light plan: Turn the
lights on early enough to allow the
birds the necessary feeding time for
satisfactory production, but not more
than IL or 13 hours Of daylight and
electric light combined.
The combination morning and eve
ming: Turn lights on from six O'Clock
in the morning until daylight. and
from dusk until six o'clock in the eve
ming.
Whichever system is most conven-
lent in the days routine should be
used. With well-developed pullets,
lights can profitably be used from No
vember through April.

Despot's Hairless Decree

Sir Harti Singh Bahadur, new ma
harajah of Kashmir, began his rule
with an order that all his male sub
jects shave northumberland, mus
taches and the hair ON their heads.
This curious command was made as
a mark of honor to his uncle, the late
ruler, so that the whole country might
assume sort of hairless mourning in
his memory. Dispatches from Kash-
mir do not tell how well the people
obey the edict but every dispatch
points out the well-known fact that the
new maharajah is known to the west

Poplar Is Undesirable
for Street or Lawn Use

The poplars are poor trees at best.
They are dirty and short-lived and
break easily. They are of value where
a quick-growing screen or shelter of
temporary nature is desired. but are
undesirable for street or lawn plant
ing. After all. any of the so-called
slow-growing trees are not so slow If
they are given fair chance. Many
of the oaks are fairly rapid growers
and among the best of trees. being
hardy. sturdy and long-iived. The
sycamore and tulip trees are also re-
ceiving attention as desirable trees
for city and suburban planting. The
best time to plant young trees. all
things considered. is in the spring.
