''Never bring baby chicks in con-

one 13-ounce can of I've to 10 gallons

LAYERS GET BALD
By H. e. CUSHMAN


O. Our chickens loose their
feathers on top of their heads.
Could you tell us what TO do for
If? We don't have any trouble
with mites or lice. c. F. B..
Lemhi County. Idaho.
A. Sometimes small mites which
are microscopic in size live at the
base of the feather shafts and cause
birds to lose their feathers. When
these depluming mites are present,
the feathers look stubbled off. If
this is the case, l would suggest rub
bing the surface of the skin with
carbolated vaseline. 1t may be neces-
sary to give several applications.
More often the bald head is a
sign that the hen has been in heavy
production. She just can't build eggs
and feathers. Go into any flock
which has been in very heavy pro-
duction and you will note that more
than half of the birds are bald
headed.

FAULTY FEEDING

u. we nave new Hampshire
Red pullets that are nearly
year old and have had severe
losses this winter. The fowl will
appear healthy until the bowels
become waterY and milky in col
or. then gradually lose weight
for about three or four days and
then drop dead.
We do not feed any CONNER
cial feed. just wheat and barley.
They have oyster shell and sand
before them at all times.
We would like information on
how TO send one of the pullets
TO laboratory for examination
10 find out the causes. and if il
would be advisable TO purchase
small chickens without expert
encing the same losses.-W. F..
Liberty County.
A. I do not think that you have a
disease, but merely case of very
faulty feeding. Unless you forgot to
tell me something else in their ration,
you are feeding straight carbohy-
drates without any animal protein.
Unless you are giving about 4 gal
Ions Of milk per 100 birds daily, you
just don't have any high quality pro-
tein.
So if you do not have a regular
supply of milk it will be necessary
to get some meat scrap, or what is
called concentrate" by feed COM
panies and mix with your grains.
Then the wheat and barley will have
to be ground. Also you should add
some minerals to the ration, if you
use the meat scrap. The commercial
concentrates will provide you with
the proper minerals as well as suf-
ficient vitamins for the birds pro-
lection.
Now about preparing birds to SEND
them to laboratory for examina-
ton. The laboratories prefer you tt
send live specimens. Too many post
mortemI changes can take place i
you send dead ones. Send at leas
three birds, as one bird might no
show the symptoms which is causing
the trouble.
Put them in a box which is ven
tilated and be sure to fasten two cup
or cans in the box so that the bird
may have both food and water en-
route. Send them either to the Live
stock Sanitary board, Helena, or t
the Veterinary Science department
Montana State college, Bozeman.
The less the birds are on the roa
the better, so choose the place near
est to you. Also do not send ther
to arrive either on Saturday or Sur
day. The birds cannot be delivered
and in consequence may die and S
spoil that no one can tell anythin
about them.

Need is Seen for
Additional
School Facilities

With all older boys and girls
who sometimes work on farms
late into the fall now in school,
the Hardin grade school has a
total enrolment of 593, the
Tribune Herald learned this
week.
Inquiries were made following
a wide expression of interest on
the part of parents after at
tending the parent-teacher con-
ferences last month. Many stat
ed they felt more space is need
ed for first-to-SiXth graders.
! Administrators and teachers in
the local schools also agree that
it would be easier to do a good
job of educating the grade
school group if more rooms
were available. %
In the primary and old grade
school buildings a total of 1e
rooms are in use, with no more
space to be had. The average
room thus has between 80 and
"a children.
The four first grade rooms
have approximately Is children
each; two upper grade rooms
have more than IS children, two
more than 40, and two more
than As each.
In comparison, there are eight
rooms, nine teachers and q
study hall available for the 1871
pupils in the senior high school
while the 228 junior high
school students have II rooms
and II faculty members, with a
study nall in addition. This
makes 10 rooms, two study halls
and 20 teachers for the Ais stu
dents in the seventh to twelfth
grade groups.
When the new building nov
under construction is completed
two more Junior high school,
classrooms will be released.
At present, a minimum OF
three more teachers and rooms
are vitality needed in the grade
school. Conditions will become
even more crowded in future
years, with larger and larger
first grade groups in prospect.
It was learned that recent
school construction in this area
has averaged about $4,000 pei
room, making the cost of a 10
room building for example
about $2O0,OO
While construction costs are
high at present, there is no like
lihood that they will become
much lower in the future. Ma
tional and international affairs
seem to indicate that build
ing materials may be in short
supply before long.
The old grade school building
had it's 10th birthday this year
Even if the electors of the dis
trict voted bonds in a sufficient
amount to build an eight Of
ten-room building, some class
rooms in this building woulc
probably still have to be used
However, smaller GLASSES anC
fewer pupils per teacher woul6
make conditions even in this
building better from an educa-
tional standpoint.
Before any major new con-
Struction can be done, it will be
necessary for taxpayers to IA
vor such a move at a bond cleo
ton.

RippHng
of the Rivers

If st. Nicholas shows up this
year minus his breecheS. We'll
know the reason why.
At the present time, at least,
Santa'S traditional attire is no
where to be found.
The particular Santa Claus
suit referred to is the one made
years ago by Mrs. Tom Macleod
Tor Santa to wear at the annual
Lions clue Christmas party. The
garment disappeared during the
Yule season last year and no
one seems to know where Mr.
Clause left it following his
yearly trip.
Mrs. Bert Kronmiller, who
has been storing the suit from
season to season in the base
ment of ner home, says the out
fit was last seen when Santa
wore it at the Congregational
church last year. As far as she
knows, the old gentleman may
have worn it back to the North
Pole.
If anyone does happen to
have an idea where the clothes
are, please contact Mrs. Kron-
miller and help prevent what
could turn out to be an en-
barraSsing situation for st. Nick.
We had begun to think the
Christmas spirit wasn't going to
move the city dads to put up
decorations in Hardin'S streets
this year, but this week they
did get the job done.
All kinds of reasons as to why
the job wasn't done earlier have
been circulated, but we think it
was a case of "let George do
it."
The city council in previous
years has taken care of the job,
including the soliciting of funds
to finance the deal. This ar
rangement has not been entirely
satisfactory. city officials say,
and they have attempted to will
the job to the Chamber of Com
merce or some service club,
without success.
It seems no one was much
interested in taking the respon-
sibility of seeing that the dec
Grating was done. This year,
however, the council did sue
coed, ~belatedly, in getting serv-
ice club representatives to han
die the soliciting, and the job
finally went forward.
We know of no business man
who is not in favor Of decorat-
ing for the Christmas holidays.
but with everyone more busy
than usual this time of year,
it is easy tG understand the diff
ficulties in getting the ball roll
ing unless some organization is
willing to take charge of the
project.
