Grafonola
and Columbia Records
The Common-sense Way
to Buy a Phonograph
First, drop into our store and learn to play the Columbia Grafonola.
Hear it play the kind of music you like best. Select the style and
price of instrument that suits you best.
Since the phonograph is to be in your bouse and your eyes will
see it for many years and your ears will hear the songs and music it
plays, doesn’t plain common sense tell you that the way to buy a
phonograph is to have a Columbia Grafonola sent home for a
complete trial, you to decide then whether or not you want to keep
it? Suitable arrangements made for payments.

KEEP RATS AWAY FROM HENS
Rodents Destroy Feed, Eggs and
Fowls and Are Inveterate Enemies
to All Poultry.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Every poultryman should be on
guard continually against rats. They
destroy feed, eggs and fowls, and are
Inveterate enemies to all kinds of poul
try, from chicks, sqtlabs, ducklings
and young turkeys just out of the shell
to tough old birds awaiting the hatchet
at the close of t a long and noisy career.
Although most of their depredations
are confined to eggs and young birds,
when driven by hunger rats kill full-
grown fowls at roost, biting them
through the head or neck.
Complaints about rats have come to
the United States biological survey, de
partment of agriculture, from many

a Trap.
quarters. For example, a farmer in
Virginia reported 26 turkeys killed by,
these pests In a night. Another, in
Kansas, lost between 200 and 300
chickens and many eggs by rats dur
ing the course of one summer. His
neighbors had similar experiences.
From New Jersey has come a report of
rats killing young ducks. An Ohioan
has complained that the animals bur
row beneath his coops and take
chicks from under the hen. In cer
tain neighborhoods of Massachusetts
half a season’s hatch of chickens and
ducklings have been killed by rats.
Rats multiply rapidly when left un
disturbed, where there is plenty to
eat. One pair may Increase to more
than 2,000 in,,a single year. Whoever
allows his property to become over
run by them invites vexation and loss.
MIXTURE FOR LITTLE CHICKS
Give Equal Parts of Hard-Boiled Eggs
and Rolled Oats or Stale Bread
Soaked in Milk.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
For the first three days chicks may
be fed a mixture of equal parts of
hard-boiled eggs and rolled oats or
stale bread, or stale bread soaked in
milk. When bread and milk are used
care should be taken tc squeeze all the
milk out of the bread. From the
third or fourth day commercial chick
feed may be fed until the chicks are
old enough to eat wheat screenings or
cracked corn.
PLAN FOR MARKETING EGGS
Brown and White Shells Should Be
Placed in Separate Packages—
Keep All Culls.
(Prepared by the United Stateg Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Market white-shelled and brown-
shelled eggs In separate packages.
Eggs irregular in shape, those which
are unusually long or thin-shelled, or
which have shells otherwise defective,
should be kept by the producer for
home use, so that breakage in transit
may be reduced as much as possible.
All males except those needed for
breeding purposes, should be got rid
of as soon as possible.
One of the best Inside linings for
poultry houses is tar paper, tacked on
smoothly. Mites do not bother it.
It Is said that farmers lose millions
of dollars annually on account of poor
methods of producing and handling
eggs.
Be a crank about cleanliness, mites,
lice and disease in your poultry yard
and see If It doesn’t pay a big divi
dend. ,

Diseases of poultry are frequently
transmitted through the drinking wa
ter; the drinking fountain should be
cleaned daily.
Chicks on good range get practically
all they need in the way of mineral
salts through the fresh vegetables, but
ranges are often overrated. >■
* * * ‘
Help save eggs by keeping the. nests
clean and free from lice. Gather eggs
twice dally, keep them in a cool, dry
room or cellar, and market twice a
week.
Little chickens are often bothered
with the lurge gray-head lice. These
may be destroyed by greasing the
head and throat with lard or sweet oil
and using a lous» powder elsewhere.
