What is it?" she asked. The

Pit for Droppings Is
Found an Improvement

The newest angle in poultry house
construction. and one that is highly
commendable, is the use of drop
pings pits instead of boards, ac-
cording to poultryman.
The use of the pit, sunk 2 or az
feet below the floor level makes it
possible to lower the roosts to only
Il or Is inches above the floor. Thus,
the birds have only a short hop
from the roost to the floor or Vice
versa, instead of the three-foot iump
required with many of the. old roosts.
These long jumps We're responsible
for a good many injuries to feet and
abdomens, especially with hens of
the heavier breeds.
From the health standpoint, as the
space beneath the roosts is screened
in, the birds are kept farther from
the droppings than where boards
are used. For this reason, too, the
pits need to be cleaned less often
than droppings boards.
The depth of the pit depends on
the location of the building and the
type of soil. Some pits in dry loca-
tons are sunk as much as three feet.

School Held Monday

Some little discussion was going
the rounds at school Monday as to
whether or not the day was legal
holiday The law plainly states that
when a legal holiday falls on Sun
day the following Monday shall be
observed. Under this ruling the
bank and most of the business
houses in Libby remained closed
January 2. However, the legislature
in 1918 found that eleven days dur,
ing the school year were recognized
as holidays and that schools were
compelled to run two weeks later
in the spring to make up their re-
quired $50 days. To avoid this the
holidays on which school might be
dismissed were reduced to four;
Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christ
mas, and New Years. The law
further provides that schools are not
included in the list of those who
may observe the Monday following
when the holiday falls on a Sunday
and SO the school bell rang as per-
sistently on January as 1t does
on other days and the discussion
turned to new fields.

New Uses for Whev

1t used to be that skim milk was
by-product without much COM
mercial value. But we were max
ing use of 300,000,000 pounds of the
dry skim-milk solids produced in
the United States, and imported an
additional 10000, 900 pounds. DR.. c.
L. Roadhouse of the California Col
lege of Agriculture points out that
we are at present making small use
of the $4,000, 600 pounds Of whey left
over from the manufacture of
cheese and casein, and suggests that
the dairy industry cash in on this
by-product by drying it with skim
milk or buttermilk, or by making
whey powder separately. Large
California creameries have already
begun to install machinery for dry
ing whey. Experimentally, the yell

Because the last student forum
seemed to receive so much coopera-
ton from the students and a larger
number than usual expressed their
opinions during the discussion, the
school was given an opportunity
to have more of these open meet
ings. These would probably ac-
complish more if there were COM
nittee to take charge of them, a
group of people representative of
the student body, which would help
to maintain parliamentary form at
the meeting.
Twice meetings have been called
to give those who are interested a
chance to form part of this COM
mittee or to discuss plans for it. Be-
cause there was no response at all
to either if these announcements, it
seems that there are no students
who are interested in having any
more open forums.
Remarks are always being made
about the lack of student govern
ment and the need for more open
forum discussions, but when the
question is really put before the
students, there is no response. It
we aren't interested enough to spend
little time and thought develop
ing a plan for a forum committee,

that committee. we have no one but
ourselves to blame if all questions

FARM
IOPTCS
WHITEWASH GIVES
GOOD PROTECTION
Coating Is Economical, Has
Disinfectant Qualities.
By w. A. Foster. Associate Chief in
Rural Architecture. University
of Illinois, WNU Service.

Properly mixed and applied,
whiteWash provides economical pro-
lection TO farm buildings. In addi-
ton to having certain disinfectant
qualities, whitewash is especially
useful for the interior of barns or
other outbuildings where it aids in
providing better light.
Whitewash gives best results when
it is applied in clear, dry. weather
on surface which has been well
cleaned and dampened SO that the
fresh wash will dry gradually.
When applied to bone-dry surface,
Whitewash will usually chalk and
rub off easily.
Two formulas for whitewash are:
For new masonry work which has
never had whitewash application,
2ia gallons of mason's lime, hydrat-
ed in paper bags; 2 gallons of &C.
ment, Atlas white; 2i2 pounds of
salsoda; Q pounds of salt and 8
pounds of powdered alum. This will
give pure white gfayish white
may be had by using regular Port
land cement in place of Atlas.
The materials are mixed dry, and
soft. cold water is added with the
mixture stirred well until gallons
of paste is made It is we'll to stir
the mixture constantly and apply il
at once with a brush or spray.
To assure a perfect bond ON an
old wall, it is best to clean off loose
particles of old whiteWash coating
with wire brush. The formula for
an old wall is 2l2 gallons of finishing
lime or mason's lime, 2l2 gallons
of cement, | pound of salsoda;
pound Of salt and pounds of pow
dered alum. The alum aids in pre-
venting the WhiteWash from rubbing
of.

Laying Eggs on Floor

When hens continue to lay quite
a number of eggs on the floor of
their laying quarters the first thing
to look for is shortage of nests. If
there is one nest for every four or
five hens, then perhaps the trouble
can be corrected somewhat BY
darkening.the nests, either by MAX
ing the nests deeper or by hanging
some feed bags about 10 inches in
front of them. If the birds still re-
fuse to use the nests, try putting
the nests on the floor until the pull
let's get accustomed to using them.
