As a joy killer, the flu is about

The early gardener, the first sit

Bryan's method of combing his

the English do, make the govern

there is an upheaval in tl e popular

leader of the dominant party In con

yield all ti e politics necessary in
governmental affairs. The ,nat

One of the glories of this country

quire, .Why not call a halt to the
habit which has grown stronger
with each succeeding administration
of concentrating the powers of the
legislative and the judicial on the
executive? If we have a.legislative
system to make the laws, a judicia
ry to interpret them and an execu
tive to enforce them why not limit
to each branch the functions allow

DIPPING CHICKENS FOR LICE
Uktly to Bteomt More General Than
Dipping Cattle Because Past
Is Mere Numerous.
(Prepared by the Unit) state Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
"Dip that chick r It Isn't done just
for the sake of making a rhyme for
"dip that tick," either. Dipping chick
ens Is likely to become more general
than dipping cattle, because the
chicken louse Is a more widely distrib
uted Insect than the cattle tick. To
"dip" consists of 1 ounce of sodium
fluoride to the gallon of water, which
should be at a temperature of TO to 88
degrees. The dipping should be done
on a clear, warm day never on a
cold day. The old way of getting rid
of chicken lice was by dusting with
dry sodium fluoride. It was effective,
but In the ease of large flocks It was
slow and wasteful, a great deahot the
dusting material being Inevitably lost.
Recent dipping experiments proved
successful, and the results promise a
sure and speedy menus of getting rid
of one of the worst peats of poultry.
UP-TO-DATE SUMMER HOUSES
Colony Plan of Housing Poultry May
Be Adopted to Advantage en a
Great Number of Farms,
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The curtain-front or partial open
front house Is conceded to be the beat
type for most sections. The colony
plan of housing poultry may be
adopted to advantage on many farms.
This system does away with the dan
ger of tainted soil. , . 1
The roosts should be built on the
same level, 8 feet from the floor, with
a dropping board sbout 8 Inches be
low them. Oood roosts may be made
of 2 by 2 Inch material with the upper
edges rounded.
, The nests may be placed on the
side walls .or nnder the dropping
boards. It Is best to have them dark
ened, as the bens prefer a secluded
plsce In which to lay.
