Don't Mix Old and Young

The Bible tells us it is unwise to-
put new wine in old bottles. To-
day a modern poultryman will tell
you not to attempt to raise young
chicks in old quarters. A still much
less desirable practice is to attempt
to put chicks in quarters occupied
by old stock. 1t is a hopeless task
to raise young and old together. The.
conditions are not sanitary, the
ground is teeming with parasitic or
ganisms such as worms and coc-
cidia and the chicks will become
badly infested with lice. Again, the
baby chick doesn't get an opportu-
ity to eat. They not only cannot
eat but are trampled under foot. If
one wants to successfully raise
chicks, keep them away from the
old hens and raise on clean, fresh
ground. Losses from rats are much
less apt to occur if the chicks are
brooded some distance from the
farm buildings.-Missouri Farmer.

Best Results Only for
Careful Poultry Raiser

The properly balanced ration ac-
complishes wonderful results when
fed to stock that is rightly Bred.
well managed and correctly housed.
Houses and equipment, such as
brooders, feed hoppers, drinking
pans, ETC., that are sufficient to ac-
commodate 100 chicks viii not take
care of 500. Satisfactory growth
cannot be made under such condi-
tions. Growing stock needs lots of
feed; provide good grain feed
and a good growing mash in hop
pers so the birds can get it.
The condition of a carcass when
1t is marketed depends almost en-
tirely on the way the bird is cared
for up to the time it is killed. This;
means the way in which it is grown
and the way it is fattened for mar
ket.
A poorly grown bird will not take
on weight satisfactorily; its diges-
tive organs have not developed sufii-
ciently to handle the more or less,
concentrated feed that is fed during
the fattening period, nor does the,
bird have the vitality to stand up.
under this fattening process.

Diarrhoea in Fowls

Diarrhoea may be caused by feed
ing spoiled food of some kind and
garbage should be pretty carefully
inspected before being fed. 1t may
easily contain spoiled bits of meat
or moldy food of some kind. A
dose of epson salts, one pound dis
solved in the drinking water of 100
fowls, or dissolved in a little water
and mixed with a wet mash, so dis
tributed that all can get their share,
may be given to clean ont the di-
gestive organs of the birds.-Rural
New-Yo orker.

Trump Strength Required
for an Unassisted Rebid

A rebid Of your suit which part
ner has passed requires powerful
trump strength, at least 4 playing
tricks in trumps. AS your partners
failure to respond may indicate lack
Of trumps as well as lack of honor.
tricks, the playing tricks for end
cards which you have previously
counted in your trump suit must be
discounted one-half. For example,
assuming that you have opened this
hand with one heart:
S-6-2 KQ2 D-KQ5 C-K743
the next player has bid one spade,
and your partner and the second op-
ponent have passed. Discounting
original valuation Of playing tricks
in hearts. you would have left but
311 playing-tricks in that suit, and
could not possibly rebid it. Your
only recourse to show that your
hand was stronger than originally
indicated would be a take-out
double. In short, If your partner
refuses to help you, never rebid a
four-card suit, or even a five-card
suit unless 1t is headed by excep-
tionally strong honors. A six-card
suit may usually be rebid If it has
at least 11a honor-tricks at the top.
When not vulnerable, an unassist-
ed rebid shows at least 5 playing
tricks of which 4 are trump tricks.
No less than 6 playing tricks, with
the same trump strength, is the re-
quirement when vulnerable.
Naturally, if your hand is a two
suiter, the better course will almost
always lie in showing your second
suit. With a hand of uncommon gen.
eral strength a take-out double is
usually advisable, rather than the re-
bid Of a suit which partner has re-
fused to assist.
Instead of assisting your bid or
passing, your partner may make a
take-out In another suit or at no
trump. Such a contingency calls for
an entire revaluation of your hand.
Rebidding in this situation will be
treated in an article to follow the
analysis Of playing tricks in the as
sisting hand. For. very often, the
re-appraisal of your original bid
ding hand must be made on its
value as an assisting hand to your
partner.

Harvest Moon

During the month of March the
moon rises one hour and twenty
minutes later each succeeding eve
ming, but during the autumnal eQui-
nox it rises in the east at nearly the
same time after sunset for four or
five successive evenings, and this
phenomenon has been known for
many decades as the Harvest moon.
In northern Europe and Canada
it is much more noticeable than in
the United States, where for cen
turies it has been regarded as a
lantern hung in the sky to aid the
thrifty husbandman to harvest his
crops.

Poultry for Income

from meat and eggs, poultry offers
returns measured fairly accurately

The initial investment in equipment

SAVE THE POULTRY
BY KILLING MITES
Simple Treatments to Get
Rid of Lice.
(By o. c. UFFORD, Extension Poultry
man, Colorado Agricultural Col
leRe-WNU Service.)

IeBe-WNO SeTNlCe.J
Many Colorado farmers and pOul-
trymen save money and cut costs
of production simply by preventing
their poultry houses from becoming
infested with lice and mites.
Lice and mite infestations affect
the health, growth and production
of poultry. These pests can be cas-
lily controlled by proper action. Lice,
which live on the birds and are
known as biting parasites, may be
controlled by smearing a small
amount of blue ointment mixed with
an equal amount of petroleum jelly,
lard or vaseline, around the vent
This treatment should never be
used on small chicks. busting pow
ders such as sodium-fluoride may be
placed in the feathers on different
parts of the body to control lice.
When large flocks are treated for
lice, nicotine sulphate may be ap-
piled with a brush or oil can to
perches before the birds go to rest.
Fumes from the nicotine destroy
the parasites. This fluid will also
kill mites If they come into con-
tact with it. Badly infested flocks.
should be treated a second time in
about ten days.
Mites live around perches and
roosting places, gradually spreading
over poultry houses and farm build
ings when not controlled.
Stock dips, formaldehyde or car
bolic acid are some of the common
materials used for spraying roosts,
and houses. An effective home rem
edy can be made by using one gal
Ion of crude crank-case oil, one
half pint of stock dip or crude car
bolic acid, and, If necessary, this.
may be thinned with one or two
quarts of kerosene. The easiest
time to control lice and mites is in
the spring, before they become too
numerous.

City on Pilings

Venice is situated on a group of

The Factor of Distribution In
RebiddinD

DLAYING with reliable partner
who can be depended upon to
interpret the message of rebid,
never shy at sound raise because
you cannot see game in your own
hand. Even though your suit is a
minor, when well within the margin
of safety of one sound additional
trick Ga total Of playing tricks) a
rebid should usually be made after
partner has raised once. From an
advanced score of 60 points, it is
an easy step to game.
AS a rule, though having started
with a minor suit bid, and received
a raise from partner, If your addi-
tional rebidding value is in honors,
rather than suit length, a shift to
another biddable suit or to no
trumps will prove more profitable
than a rebid.
This shift to a no trump is also
a better alternative than a rebid
when you have opened a four-card
major suit in a balanced hand
which shows honors In at least three
suits.
Having opened with a suit bid,
against which the opponents have
put up home opposition, even though
your partner has passed, you may
sometimes be justified In a rebid
The inference from your partners
pass is that he holds not more than
three supporting tricks and that he
is probably quite deficient In honor
tricks, otherwise he would have
raised or made an independent bid.
