EVERY YARD TO HAVE GARDEN
Writer Urges Importance of Move
ment, to Be Impressed on All '
Members of the Community.
tue of the first necessities, says:Dr.
John H. Finley in a recent paper on
gaitf ening, is to arouse interest in the
work among the young people of the
community, but fully as important as
this is securing the co-operation of the
parents. It Is quite necessary for the
entire success of this- movement that
the older people not only realize the
importance of increased production
during the coming year, but that they
also take an active Dart in the nro-
i duction.
It is especially important that only
good seeds and good plants be used.
Therefore, those who are in charge
i of this work should see to it that
j those having gardens be referred only
1 to reliable firms for seeds. In order
that lack of capital may be no handi
cap to those desiring to take up the
work, there should be provided and
administered a loan fund for those
-who need assistance In- buying ma
nure, hiring vacant lots or large gar
den plots, and in paying for plowing
and harrowing same. "
Now is the time to deal with next
winter's disturbances; high cost of
living, boycots and embargoes. A
national preparedness for .war de
mands that immediate steps be taken
by every individual to do his share in
the production- movement. "A gar

ADOPT CITY-MANAGER PLAN
Twelve Cities of Texas Have Pro
claimed Allegiance to That Form
. of Civic Government.
Of the 81 cities In the United States
that have adopted the city manager
plan, or some modification of it, Texas
leads with 12 cities. Texas was the
father of the commission form of gov
ernment idea, and seems destined also
to lead in the movement to adopt the
city-manager plan. The following
Texas cities have adopted the plAn out
right: Amarillo,- Brownsville, Denton,
San Angelo, Taylor, Tyler, Bryan.
Sherman and Yoakum. Brownwood,
, Teague and Terrell have adopted
j modified forms of the city-manager
; plan. Salaries are paid Texas city
managers ranging from $1,200 to $3,
000 per year. Salaries outside of Texas
for the same work run much higher.
For example, the city manager of San
Diego, Cal., receives $6,000 per year;
of San Jose, Cal., $5,000, and of Day
ton, O., $12,500.
A recent bulletin issued by the bu
reau of municipal research and ref
erence of the University of Texas con
tains Information about the spread of
the cit manager Idea, as well as a
discussion of its development out of
the commission form of government,
with a clear exposition of what the
plan .really is. In addition, a com
plete bibliography of articles that have
been written on this new way of gov
erning American cities is given. Free
copies may be had by addressing Dr.
H. G. James, bureau of municipal re
search and reference, University of
Texas, Austin, Texas.
Jacobean Architecture.
The architecture of the Jacobean
house came through the walls, forming
a background for furniture that in
turn reflected its motifs. A massive
chimney was usually the most finished
factor in the room. It bore the man
orial arms.
Ceiling and walls were a frank con
fpssion of the house structure hand-
hewn beams broke the rough-plastered
walls, giving the room a vigor and
crudeness characteristic of the times.
The gallery was not an uncommon
feature In this period.
In addition to the stone fireplace;
the sturdy oak furniture, the wrought
Iron lights and the timbered walls, the
finer of Jacobean, rooms had another
feature -an oriel window broken in
places with colored medallions.
Hint to Cities.
The Nati6nal Housing association ap
parently does not regard as an obsta
cle to Improved housing generally, the
admitted fact that all American com
munities impose a heavy burden upon
citizens who erect dwellings upon va
cant sites, whether for their own use
or the accommodation of others, says
The Public. At a time when the high
cost of labor and materials has brought
building to a full stop, although the
need for additional housing is keen
and unsatisfied, it would seem an ob
vious emergency measure that the city
or town should exempt buildings from
all possible burdens, but no public bod
ies seem to think so.

PLAN TO ERADICATE NIITES
Kerosene or Crude Petroleum Sprayed

Parasites.
Don't tolerate mites and lice in your
hennery. They are unnecessary pests
and they sap the vitality that should
go into egg production. Nowadays,
effective ways are known for eradicat
ing lice and mites altogether. First,
a dust bath should be accessible to the
hens. Usually there will be a place in
the yard where the hens can dust them
selves in the dry dirt. If such a place
is not available, a box large enough
(about 2 fee,t square) for the hens to
get into it should be provided in the
house and a quantity of dust such as
ordinary road dust or fine dirt placed
in it to allow the hens a place to dust
themselves. A dust bath aids the hens
In keeping lice in check and therefore
adds to their comfort. Usually the
lice are not present on the birds in
sufficient number to prove particularly
harmful. However, it is better to kSep
the hens as free as possible from this
pest, and if they are not able to keep
them in check by dusting themselves,
other measures can be undertaken.'
. To Eradicate Lice. v
To rid the hens of lice, each one can
be treated by placing small pinches of
sodium fluorid, a material which can
PATHS TO PROFIT WITH

Keep the hens confined to

Don't keep a male bird. Hens
lay just as well without a male.
Don't overstock your land.
Purchase well-matured pullets
rather than hens.
Don't expect great success in
hatching and raising chicks un
less you have had some experi
ence and" have a grass plot sep
arate from the yard for the hens.
Build a cheap house or shelter.
Make the house dry and free
from drafts, but allow for venti

dampness.
Keep house and yard clean.
Provide roosts and dropping
boards.
Grow some green crop in the
yard. .
Spade up the yard frequently.
Feed table scraps and kitchen
waste.
Also feed grain once a day.
Feed a dry mash.
Keep hens free from lice and
the house free from mites.

HOUSE PEST-FREE
- A New Remedy Placed Among the
Lice of Chickens.
NEW LICE REMEDY KILLS
FOR HALF A CENT A BIRD.
Sodium fluorid, a white pow
der, will destroy all the lice on a
fowl. It is a new and effective
remedy.. One application, cost
ing about half a cent a bird, does
the work. Full directions for
applying it are given in a publi
cation of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, "Mites
and Lice of Poultry," Farmers'
Bulletin 801. This bulletin also
tells how to keep the poultry
house free of mites.
use a small quantity of blue ointment,
a piece about as large as a pea on the
skin an inch below the vent. If mercu
rial ointment is used instead of blue
ointment, it should be diluted with an
equal quantity- of vaseline. Any of
these methods will be found very ef
fective in ridding the hens of lice and
should be employed whenever the lice
become troublesome. Two or three ap
plications a year usually prove suffi
cient. Mites Are Blood Suckers.
Mites are more troublesome and
more harmful than lice. They do not
live upon the birds like the lice, but
during the day hide in the cracks and
crevices of the roosts and walls of the
house, and at night they come out and
get upon the fowls. They suck the
hen's blood, and if allowed to become
plentiful as they certainly will if not
destroyed will seriously affect her
health and consequently her ability to
lay eggs. They may be eradicated tfy
a few thorough applications of kero
sene or some of the coal-tar products
which are sold for this purpose, or
crude petroleum, to the interior of the
poultry house. The commercial tar
products are more ' expensive but
retain their killing power longer, and
they may be cheapened by reducing
with an equal part of kerosene.' Crude
petroleum will spray better if thinned
with 1 part of kerosene to 4 parts of
the crude oil. Both the crude petro
leum and the coal-tar products often
contain foreign particles, so should be
strained before attempting to spray.
One must be sure that the spray j
reaches all the cracks and crevices,
giving especial attention to the roosts,
dropping-boards, and nests, and the
treatment should be repeated two or
three times at Intervals of a week or
ten days.
VENTILATION OF HEN HOUSE
As Necessary for Laying Fowls In Win
ter as in Summer Keep Windows
and Doors Open.
The henhouse needs fresh air as
much in the winter as In the summer.
It is as necessary to laying hens as
clean water and good feed. Badly ven
tilated houses make nens lose vitality,
they lay fewer eggs, and often become
sick and stop laying altogether. Ven
tilation Is needed also to keep the
house dry. When the circulation of
the air is poor in cold weather, mois
ture collects on the inside of the walls
and roof. At a freezing temperature
under such conditions there Is a rapid
accumulation of "frost" on these sur
faces which makes the house very un
comfortable.
Ventilation to provide pure air and
dryness In a poultry house is simply
a matter of keeping doors and win
dows open as much as is necessary
to keep the walls dry. Few poultry
keepers have any. difficulty in doing
this until the temperature goes low
enough to freeze water In the house.
Then the tendency is to close doors
and windows to keep 'the house warm.
A general rule which may be followed
is to open doors and windows as wide
as is necessary to keep the house dry
in cold weather and to keep them wide
open when water in the house will not
freeze. .

WAYS WITH CODFISH.
Codfish is such a wholesome, com
mon and easily prepared fish that we
should use It In
many more com
binations. Fish Balls With
Tomato Sauce.-
Take one and a
half cupfuls of
flaked fish, three
cupfuls of potatoes.
Cook together un
til the potatoes are tender, then mash
ajd beat very light, add one cupful of
milk, a seasoning of salt and pepper,
shape into balls and roll in beaten egg
and sifted bread crumbs, then fry in
ht fat. Drain and serve with half
a cupful o strained tomato, three pep
per corns, a bay leaf, stew and remove
the seasoning, rub through a sieve
and thicken with a tablespoonful each
of flour and butter, creamed together,
cook for five minutes, season and pour
around the fish balls.
Baked Codfish With Cheese. Take
two cupfuls of flaked fish, one cupful
of mashed potatoes, two eggs, three
cupfuls of milk, a half cupful of sweet
fat, a fourth of a cupful of grated
cheese, and two milk crackers rolled.
Mix all together, add the beaten egg
and seasoning to taste, covey with well
buttered crackers, and bake.
Cream of Codfish on Toast. Take two

tender. Take a cupful of rich, sour
cream, salt and a little flour, cook un
til smooth, pour over well buttered
toast after adding the fish to the sauce.
Mme. Begue's Codfish With Beans.
Take one-half pound of large
white beans, one large onion, one
pound of codfish, salt and pepper to
taste. Cook the beans with the onion
and seasoning until tender. Put four
tablespoonfuls of butter In a saucepan,
stir In a tablespoonful of flour, add the
beans and fish with water, if needed, a
sprinkling of parsley and cook until
thoroughly heated.
A most delicious codfisn gravy may
be made by using sour cream instead
of milk and butter.
Opportunities.
The reason opportunities are neither
recognized nor embraced lies In the
composition of the tissues, the flesh,
and the blood, called man. One man
perceives one kind, his blood brother
sees a lesser or many better ones.
John pushes through the habits ' he
acquires all too nearly; James overr
comes the temperament he and his
olne brothers partly inherited.
