THE SISTER'S FAITH The following appeared a few days ago in the "State Register" of Spring field. 111.: "Many are the stories of Henry Ford and his popular automobile, but Hillsboro is relating what it calls the best of the season, and the facts in the case are true. It happened In one of the leading churches of the city that the pastor took for the text of his sermon, 'Better Church At tendance.' "The pastor held that the automo bile has taken more people away from church than any other thing. He concluded with the exclamation: 'The Ford car has taken more people to hell than any other thing that I can mention!' Whereupon an old lady in the congregation began to clap her hands and moan, 'Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!' " 'What's the matter, sister?' ask ed the pastor. " 'The Ford never went any place that it couldn't make the round trip, and I am sure that all of those peo ple In hell will be back, she answered. So praise the Lord!' " 1! VA iw IN DESTROY LICE ON CHICKENS Sodium Fluorid Rldi Fowls Quickly of All Parasites Dipping Is Most Economical. .Prepared by the Tnlted State Depart ment ot Agriculture ) One application of sodium fluorid will kill all lice of chickens, entomolo gists tof the department of agriculture have discovered. This Inexpensive white powder, they And, will rid fliM-k of all the seven common species of chicken lice lu a few days. One pound, costing only 40 or "50 nts at the time of this writing. Is enough to treat 100 fowls. If dusted on. If dis solved In water and used as dip, the same amount will go three times as far. It is easily applied, economical, gives Immediate results, and does not Injure the fowls or the poultryman. The complete effectiveness of the smirum fluorid remedy and methods of using It are discussed in Farmers' Bul letin SOI of the United Stutes depart ment of agriculture, "Mites and Lie on Poultry." by F. C. Blshopp and 11. P. Wood. The bulletin deals also with mites, the night pests of chickens, which require s different treatment. I.lce are hltlng Insects that work by day and are a serious foe In neglected small flocks of general farms aud back yurds. Sodium fluorid sny It plainly to the druggist or you ntsy get sodium eWo rld, common salt, which It not only re sembles In name but In appearance may be obtained at most large drug stores. The finely powdered commer cial form Is cheaper and more easily applied by the dusting method than the fine, crystallized sodium fluorid. To apply the material In dust form, place It In an on vessel on a table, and with one hand hold the fowl by the legs or wings. With the other hand place the chemical among the feathers next to the skin, according to what is known as the "pinch" method, which proceeds as follows : One pinch on the head, one on the neck, two on I V : vW4 Dusting a Hen With Fluorid, a Very Effective Lice Killer. the bnck, one on the breast, one below the vent, one on the tall, one on either tlilch, and one scattered on the under side of each wing when spread. Each pinch can be distributed by pushing the thumb and fingers among the feath ers as the material Is released. If the chicken Is held over the vessel, the ma terial which falls from the fowl during the operation Is recovered. The material also may be applied by means of a stinker, but this method has some disadvantages as compared with thp "pinch" method. When this method is used the amount of sodi um fluorid may he reduced by adding four parts of some finely powdered material, such as road dust or flour, to each pnrt of fluorid. The dust, while not nolsonous. Is somewhat Irritating I to the nose and thront. If allowed to remnin on the skin In nny quantity for any great length of time. It may cause slight local Irritation. For these rea sons, those dusting a large number of chickens would do well to cover nose and mouth with a dust guard or damp cloth and to wash their hands occa sionally. The dipping method Is more econom ical, but among many poultry raisers there Is a general sentiment against the practice of dipping fowls, largely because most of the dips contain ma terials which discolor the feathers. The sodium' fluorid dip, however, Is harmless, and as compared with dust ing Is more easily done. As It Is neces sary thnt the fowls dry quickly, dip ping Is most applicable In the Southern states and to summer treatments In the North. For lice on young chickens, young turkeys, and, In fact, all newly hatched or sick fowls, the application of sodium fluorid In the dust form Is recommended. 1 POULTRY NOTES , ...4 Most digestive disorders and ovariun troubles come from heavy feeding Id winter without sufficient exercise, e e e When okks for table use or to sell in the market are the require ment, It Is not only unnecessary but unudvlsiible to keep the males with the hens, and they may well be dis pensed with. i LL IP Chistmas Gifts Make Your Selection Early We Have a Variety of Seasonable Gift!
