Better insulation bas b1·ought the Kl'eatest improvem ent or all ,to the poultry bouse, says Successfu l Farmtnr. Insulatlou reduces the harmful elrects of the extremes of cold and beat and makes the bouse more comThe fortable ' at all temperatu res. popular became bouse loft" "straw because 1t provided a cheap and ef· flclent roof insulation , a point largely neglected In the earlier houses. The half-moni tor type of house was never very successfu l because It lacked Insulation In the roof and was consequen tly a cold, damp house tn winter and a hot one in the summer. Many of these monitor houses have been greatly Improved by the addition of a straw ceiling. A similar Insulating effect can be secured by some of the Insulating boards now on the market. Ventilatio n Is another Important problem In poultry house construction because of Its effect on damp ness and the Inside temperatu re. The only way to remo\·e the excess moisture In the house is by nmtlla· tlon or change of air. Air movement should be very slow, so that no draft of cold air Is noticeable . In the average run of farm poultry houses the hens probably suffer more in severe cold weather due to too much vent!· latlon rather than too little. Both the Nebraska and Iowa experiment stations have found that hens show no harmful effect from tightly closed quarters during the winter. While neither of these • stations recommend a tightly closed poultry house, their findings Indicate the Importance ot air purity may ha"e been overemph asized in the past. Break Up Broodiness by Feedin g Better Rations "Broody hens should be cooped the first night they stay on the nest, as, any delay will Increase the brooding period," says Miss Cora Cooke. extenl!ion poultry specialist, Minnesota University farm. ''In breaking up broodlnesll. the sane way is to give the hens humane treatment and feed them well, so as to get them back to laying as soon as possible. "The case Is one for hospital tl·eatment rather than punishme nt, such as f!tarv'ation , or torture in solitary confinement," says Miss Cooke. "Build the hens up to laying by good feedin~ . Instead of starving or scaring them out of broodines s. After all. what Is wanted are eggs. "Confine broody hens in a well-ventnated slatted or netting coop, placed tn the shade. Supply dry mash all the time In a feed trough, feed a moist mash once a day and feed scratch grain l!gttly. Under such treatment , hens wlll soon go back to laying It caught the first night. "Don't stop with this, however. Breeding broodines s out of the flock Is better than treating birds for the ailment. Band a hen every time she goes broody. Omit from the breeding pen hens wearing such bands and In time trouble from broodines s can be .reduced to a minimum. " Light Yolks Preferr ed Poultry producers find that many buyers In the large cities. espe<'lally the New York market, prefer eggs wtth light-colo red yolks, the United States Departme nt of Agricultu re aays. Certain materials such as green feed and yellow corn produce dark yolks, but when eggs are candled It Is often difficult to tell whetbe,. the dark yolk has been caused by feed or because the eg~ has been exposed to heat. Thus, although buyers prefer ll~ht yolks. In order to be on the safe side. dart yolks do not nece~sarlly mean that the eggs are Inferior In quality. Feeds such as white corn. whPat, buckwheat, and oats reJ!Ult In eggs having light yolks. To be classed as a quality product, eggs must be uniform In color and size, and light yolks make them mor-! desirable In many markets. Reducing Tuberculosis In one county of South Oakota where practicall y all the flocks In two townships were tuberculin tested only 1 per cent of the pullets reacted wherP.as 83 per cent of the birds over two years old reacted. Thls would lndl· cate that If a farm flock Is Infested and the practice Is followed of diR· posing of all hlrds at the end of the first year of egg production . that In Itself would reduce very greatly the losses from this disease.-S uccessfnl Farming. Chicken Mites Where small mites m·e ahunclant. clean out the house. remo\·ing and burning old nesting materia Is. Then spray the entire house wlth coal oil or a mixture of equal pnrts of cortl all and crank case oil. Be careful to force the spray Into cracks. This pest attacks the hlrds at night and hides during the day. One thorough clean· lng up and spraying of tlle house wilt usually p;et rid of the pest. In case It doesn't, repeat the treatment In ten days.-M! ssourl Farmer.

Such is not the case. Friday Is observed by a portion of the Moslem world; Saturday by the Jews, Seventh Day Adventists, Seventh Day Baptists and several other Christian sects ; Sunday by the majority of Christian s; and Tuesday by the sect of Moslems which prevails In Persia, There are no religions or sects at the present time, so far as we have been able to learn, which, according to our calendar, obser,-e ::\londay, Wednesday and Thursday as the Sabbath. Even a large portion of the Mohammedans, particular ly those in Turkey, have abandone d Friday In favor of the Christian Sunday. Many years ago some writer made the broad statement that every day In the week Is set apart by some people as their Sabbath. He enumerated the holy days of the peoples as follows: Sunday is observed hy most Christian s; 1\Iondny by the Greeks; Tuesday by the Persians; Wednesda y by the .\ssyrians ; Thursday by the Egyptians ; I<'ri<lay by the Mohamme dans, and Saturday by the Jews. This Is a cu1·ious hodgepod ge of fact and fiction. '£he enumerati on is absurd, because the ggyptians , Greeks and Assyrians (whoever thpy may be) are nearly all Christian s or Mohamme dans of one sect or another. Evidently the writer, in order to prove his point about the "perpetua l Sabbath,'' Included certain ancient religions now defunct. At any rate, his assertion about every day being the Sabbath of some religion Is still frequently repeated by careless writers as representing an lntet·estin g fuct.-l'at hunder Magazine . The name Uepubllca n has plied to three parties, a fact which gives rise to confusion . The Republican party of today originated in 1854-56, after the dissolutio n of the The southern Whig Whig party. went over to the Democrat ic party on the slavery question and the northern Whigs affiliated wiU1 the Free Soli and Know-No thing parties.. At a meeting held at Ripon, Wis., In 1854, a group of Whig!'!, Free Sollers and Democrat s thrPatene d to form a new l)arty if the Kansas-X ebraska bill passed. The bill passed, and ou July 6, 1834, represent atives of the same groups met at Jackson. Mich., and formed a party to which they gave the name Republica n. In the election that fall, the new party carried 15 of the 31 states. The Dem · ocratlc party as now known began with the Anti-Fede ralists, who opposed the federal Constituti on because of the rights surrender ed b~ the states to the federal government. In 1TD2, it tool' the name Re· publican party to oppose the Fedel'· alist party. It was later sometime s known as the Demol'rat ic-Uepubl ican party, which name Is still the official desig-nation of the Democrat ic part~· After its principles were clearly formulate d In 1793 by Thomas Jefferson, It was sometime s called Democratlc, but generally Hepublica n, until Andrew .Jackson's admin!Rtr ation, which began In 1829.
