Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH Poultr 1 MUST USE CARE IN FATTENING CAPONS Should Be Dewormed Before the Operation. By Roy S. Dearstyne, Poultry Department, North Carolina State College. WNU Service. Poultry men planning to develop capons this summer should start preparations at once. Only those cockerels in robust health should be selected for the purpose. The cockerel should weigh at least or two pounds, and one and be dewormed about a week before the operation. Such birds recover quickly and gain rapidly afterwards. Birds should be deprived of food and water for 24 hours before the operation in order to clean the intestines. For several days after the operation, water and soft feeds should be given and the birds kept quiet so the wound can heal. During the first few days the birds should have the amount of mash they can eat in 15 minutes in the morning. In the evening the feed should be equal parts of cracked corn and wheat, as much as they will eat in 15 minutes. Later a range furnishing an abundance of succulent green feed is necessary if the capons are to grow rapidly. Bye grass, lespedeza, alfalfa, cowpeas, soybeans, and clovers are good. Scratch grain and plenty of water should be available at all times. About two ounces a day of laying mash should also be given for each bird. Plenty of shade is necessary during the hot months. Portable summer range shelters provide an economic and suitable shelter. . About 14 days of fattening are required to properly finish the capon. one-ha- lf post-operati- Up-to-Da- te LURE OF SILVER Ideas for Decorating Rough Wall In the summertime persons who delight in having living quarters totally different from those occupied during the winter, often prefer to have their cottages unplastered. And there are other families who find the cost of the plain board walls so much less than plastered, that for economical reasons the walls are left in this unfinished state. But in neither instance does it mean that the walls are left bare. It simply signifies that the treatment is in accord with the scheme of the interior finish. DAZZLES MINDS .

These travel posters may be from a collection made during trips abroad or across the country, or they may be from some tourists agency. For seashore cottages, posters of huge ocean liners plowing their way through the waves are appropriate and, with the bright colors in which they are portrayed, they make brilliant spots of color on dull wood walls. Persons who have a fondness for the theater can sometimes get hold of theatrical posters, or play bills, as they are termed. Some of these are artistic, some are merely striking, but all give a flavor of the stage to the simple shac-kShelves fitted in between the upright beams of an unfinished wall supply places for books and ornaments. If these latter are well chosen to suit the cottage idea they give a cozy look, while books always are inviting and welcoming. Old china and pottery have a peculiar charm for these interiors, which should be kept simple but which should also be livened up by the wall The spaces between beams offer excellent opportunities for wall hangings of a crude type. There are fascinating Mexican fiber and grass pieces of charming crudeness, yet with genuine artistic feeling which are well suited to some homes of the kind described.

The death of his companion through exhaustion as these Hudsons Bay companys employees toiled over the old Sioux trail in those pioneer days sent Cummings out of the bush temporarily. During his absence a forest fire obliterated all traces of his Lost Mother Mine, as he later named it. To this day, its location remains a secret. Many battles were fought along the old Sioux trail a century ago. Indians swept in from the east, driving the Sioux and Blackfeet before them. In Red Men drove turn, these tiger-lik- e them back. Either way, the trail was well traveled, in peace time or in war. Fur trappers and their followers came next. They found arrow heads with tips of pure silver. The tale went abroad. John Cummings, born in Orkney, Scotland, in 1S12, came hither to enter thi Hudsons Bay With a companion, he set service. out in the Canadian bush, hunting the old silver mine that had been worked by the Sioux and the Black-feeThey found it. They cut off "chunks of the silver, as the rec t. ords of Cummings show, and started back to civilization. Travel through the Canadian bush in those days was no picnic. Cumdied from exmings companion burled the haustion. Cummings silver, too heavy to carry, and went out to report the tragedy. Before he could return to bury his companion, a fire had swept through the forest. He found his silver, but all traces of the min were gone. It has never been found again. .My Lost Mother Mine, he called it in his records. Tourists who come to Port Arthur, with Lake Superior at its feet, are told of the old Sioux trail and the mystery of the lost silver mine. Occasionally an old prospector, with eyes agleaui witli hope, will slip away into the wilderness. Perhaps, some day, one will rediscover it. If he does, the zest of life will be gone.

Collectively, the nation ate pounds of candy, wdiich in of lessened incomes was 1.3 spite more than the amount used the previous year. Doctors agree that most of us need some sugar, says the Los Angeles Times.

Lays Poultry Ills to Negligence of Owners Most, if not all, diseases of poultry are preventable, asserts Dr. T. E. Munce, director, Pennsylvania bureau of animal industry, in a statement in which he explained the responsibilities of poultry owners in disease pre- vention. Plans and procedures have been formulated by the Pennsylvania bureau of animal industry which, if properly carried out, will effectually prevent and eradicate transmissible diseases of animals, including poultry, he stated, adding: It is not reasonable on the part of owners to expect diseases pto prevent Owners and eradicate themselves. have an indispensable part to play in establishing and keeping their flocks on a healthy basis. No one else can substitute for the owner or his manager in the field of disease prevention and eradication. It is of the utmost importance to agriculture that flocks which are so essential to it should be free of disease. Shade for Poultry In order to insure normal egg production from laying flocks and rapid growth of young birds during the hot months, some protection from the heat is necessary, according to a poultry authority writing in the Prairie Farmer. One of the cheapest and best means of supplying shade is through artificial shelters, made by driving stakes into the ground and making a cover of old feed sacks. The birds will eat more feed and drink more water if the feed hoppers and water troughs are kept In 'such places. In order to protect the young birds from the dangers of parasites and disease, the shelters should be moved every two weeks. Kill Lice as They Hatch The job of delousing a flock of birds really is two jobs.The first job is to kill the adult lice which are on the birds at the time treatment is given. The second job is the killing of the young lice as they hatch out later. Nicotine sulphate is so made up that it has plenty of reserve strength. Even after it has been on the roost for a long time it still serves as a destroyer of lice. Thus one finds that not. only the older lice are killed, but the young lice are destroyed as they hatch out, and the flock is given a complete Fresh Water Important Few people realize the importance of fresh water for the growing stock. Water helps the chick to control its necesbody temperature. It is also asand the digestion for proper sary similation of food. In spite of the fact that it is the cheapest of feeds yet all too frequently it is neglected. That the water be fresh is also important. Clean water is less apt to be the carrier of disease germs and If supplied there Is less danger of dlf ease and digestive disorders. 4.40-2-1 THE immediate and enthusiastic acceptance of the new Firestone REDUCED BDTrVfi ntvlld TIME that is Century Progress Tire started a tremendous wave of buying hours a day to meet keeping the Firestone factories running twenty-fou- r Mr FOR LIMITED ONLYI this huge demand. dangerous We knew that car owners would replace their thin-wortires if they could get what they wanted in a tire at the price they wanted to pay.
