PREVENT FLOCK COLDS
BY SIMPLE RULES.

If Henrietta Hen could pull out her
pocket handkerchief every time she
SMILES, there might be fewer colds in
the flcck On the other hand, most
doctors agree that not much can be
done to cure a cold-among us humans,
or among the hens-once it appears.
In both cases it's necessary to build up
resistance and stress prevention, not
cure.
For the poultry flock, let's start with
feed. 1t should contain codliver oil,
green colored alfalfa or leaf meal and
ample amounts of yellow corn. These
carry a specific enemy Of colds called
Vitanin A. To keep the birds eating
eagerly, provide comfortable houses
with sufficient feeders always filled with
appetizing feed, and the litter dry and

be especially helpful, in fact, anything
that induces activity is important
If colds develop in spite Of every
thing, isolate every sick bird as soon
as it begins to sniffle Treat the sick
ones if it makes you feel better-it
probably won't help the chickens By
isolating them, you will avoid the
chances of spreading colds to healthy
birds.-Cora Cooke, poultry specialist

LIVE-AT-HOME APPLIES
TO WOOD PRODUCTS ALSO.

With building, fencing and fuel prices
on an upward trend, extension forester
Parker o. Anderson at University Farm,
st. Paul, suggests that farmers will
find it profitable to plan ahead to get
the most out of their forests and wood
lots.
Anderson says that at the present
time there are thousands of acres on
Minnesota farms that could be made
more profitable by the development Of
"a well-managed farm forest or fuel
reserve. A little planning and wise
management now can turn wasted acres
into a reservoir of considerable future
Importance, he says. Every farm can
make use OF fence posts, lumber, and
fuel, and when these are not home
grown, expenditures for them drain
cash that could well be used for other
purposes.
As the basis Tor a farm forestry
policy, Anderson suggests that farmers:
| l. Grow and harvest their own timber
and keep their cash OUTLAWS at min
inum 2. Use high grade timber when
necessary for home needs, otherwise
sell it and use the less desirable timber
to meet building and repair emer-
gencies. T. Grow fence posts at home
using long-lived varieties where pos

committing a technical foul, such as
failing to report to the proper official
by a substitute or sassing the referee,
will receive double penalty

fouled from behind as he is trying for

throws regardless of whether or not
the basket is made. Previously he re-

T. The referee must inspect the score

g. In case of a tie game, an adj

they gathered around the home table
they were said to have resembled a
family reunion. When they trooped into
town and stopped at a hotel folks
supposed that some kind of convention
was in progress.
Early Price Fixing
The law of supply and demand did
not always balance, according to the
findings of research workers. The de-
mand in st. Paul during 1850 brought
the price of lumber up to SIT per
thousand board feet. Evidently the
price had nothing to do with the sup
ply. Builders complained that the same
kind of lumber from the same mills
was being RATED down the river and
sold for $40 per thousand in ST. Louis.
Furry and Hairy
In following the styles in the 1850's,
men often were as befurred as modern
women, according to newspaper &C
counts found by members of the Mime
sofa Writer'S Project. When fashion,
ably dressed man of the FiftieS went
counting he wore fox skin cape COM
plete with a large fox tail. From his
upper lip protruded huge mustache
which almost concealed his entire face.
Unless the young swain could meet this
