(By (I. T. Klein, Extension Poultry man, K. S. A.) Bv making use of the “sanitary run¬ way,'’ the permanent brooder house that has for years been the menace of the poultry industry may be used with a fair degree of success. The runway is merely a brooding platform that is placed in front of the brooder house. It has a floor of one-half inch hail screen or hardware cloth. The wire floor, which is about 15 inches from the ground, allows all droppings and ftlth to fail through. Wire sides and top of one inch poultry netting confines the chicks to the run¬ way and protects them from enemies. The sanitary runway accomplishes everything that turning the chicks out¬ side will accomplish, giving them ex¬ ercise and sunlight and keeping them from contaminated soil. Diseases are less likely to spread when chicks are running on the wire floor, for they have less opportunity of infection. Tlie railway may be ten feet wide and the entire length of the brooder house. The framework may be con¬ structed of 1 by 4 inch material. These hoards are placed on edge to support the floor. Boards may be spaced two feet apart. The wire may be either 24 or 48 inch widths. The 4S-inieh ma¬ terial makes a slightly stronger floor. Sides should be two feet high. Sec¬ tions of the top should be hinged for ease in filling the feeders and care for tlie chicks. Sufficient Number of Nests Properly Placed Tlie number of nests in relation to the size of the laying flock during the heavy laying season is important. With a sufficient number of nests prop¬ erly placed there is less danger of eggs being deposited in the litter and becoming lost, stepped on, or oilier wise broken. Nests should lie darkened; they should be so constructed that it is easy for one to see and remove tlie eggs. If nests are too large eggs may be broken by two of more liens crowd¬ ing into them. Twelve by fourteen inches is suggested for the larger breed and ten by twelve inches for tlie smaller breeds. Nests should ho easy to remove to facilitate cleaning. Turkey’s Natural Food Lines Often Overlooked Then there are a good many per¬ sons working with turkeys in a small way who do not recognize one of tlie turkey’s natural food lines; they fail to remember, tf they ever knew, that the turkey’s food in ils wild state con¬ sisted chiefly of insects, beechnuts, acorns, berries, and so forth, with but little corn. The average poultry rais¬ er wlio lias not studied Mr. Turkey’s former habits of life feeds too much corn and corn-meal, tlie latter especial¬ ly. So much corn-meal for small tur¬ keys tends tq pack the crop and cause indigestion and liver trouble. Poultry Notes | Clean ground enables poultrymen to carry more pullets to maturity. * * * Sanitation and breeding are both es¬ sential in eliminating poultry diseases. * * * Any flock that will average better than 120 eggs per bird Is a profitable flock. * * • More moisture is required for tur¬ key eggs used for hatching purposes than for chicken eggs. * * * Gluten feed is a by-product obtained In the manufacture of glucose and cornstarch. It is used in the mash as a source of protein. * • • Remember, a start in turkeys costs no more than a start of any good breed of chickens; there is always a good market for your turkeys. * * * Early hatching of chickens this spring and proper handling of the pul¬ lets will bring them into laying con¬ dition next fall during the months of high-priced eggs. Market premium for high-quality eggs has aroused an interest in larger egg size. There are inherited tend¬ encies toward large and small eggs. Careful selection at time of placing eggs in tiie incubator should contrib¬ ute to tlie improvement of the size of the eggs of a flock. • * * Freedom from disease is essential to growing a large percentage of the chicks hatched. Choose eggs from disease-free parents, or if you buy back chicks get them from flocks known to be free from bacillary white diarrhea. • • • Wheat is another valuable poultry feed, being very palatable. It is gen¬ erally always included in tlie scratch feed, and its by-products, wheat bran and wheat meddlings, are used in the mash. Red-dog flour and wheat shorts are also mash feeds.

Acquires Education. Spartansburg, S. C.—A second Helen Keller is Miss Ruby Miller, twenty years old, a student at the South Car¬ olina State Institute for the Deaf and Blind, in this city. The girl, a daugh¬ ter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Miller, of Columbia, was left totally blind, deaf, and dumb when three years old, by an attack of meningitis. For nearly six years she remained in a state of un¬ der-development. She now can speak plainly, knit, do basket work, bead work, plain sewing, cook, read and play the piano, and has a speaking knowledge of Latin and French, both vocally and by the sign language. The girl is unable to hear any sound, yet by training she hag learned to use her vocal cords in intelligible speech. Although she cannot hear the pitch of her words, they have remark able inflection and expression. She “hears” by a sense of touch in which she can tell by vibrations the words others speak to her. To do this she Places the lingers of one hand across the speaker’s lips and her thumbs bc neath the chin. Miss Miller has no recollection of sound, but says she can recall having once seen some cows pass the front yard at her home before her illness woman Is cheerful and full of fun. - Caught in Bear Trap r Four Days and Nights Denver.—Facing the loss of one hand and suffering from exposure, Josepii Schneider, forty-five, war eran and trapper, lay in a here and told his experience of hav ing been caught in a bear trap for four days and nights. While .gathering pines needles to cover his own traps, thrust his hand into a huge steel bear trap. Realizing that death by infection and starvation was inev itable unless lie could release him self, Schneider struggled four days and nights. lie lapsed into unconsciousness sev¬ eral times and was tortured by hun¬ ger and thirst. He tried to reach his shotgun ten feet away to commit suicide, but failed. Finally, on the fourth day, he suc¬ ceeded in maneuvering the trap un¬ der ids knees and sprang tlie springs enough to tear his hand loose.

Police Lose Battle for Woman’s Life New York.—Mrs. Sarah Stucator is dead despite the efforts of 26 police¬ men who worked in relays for 21 hours to save her life after she had inhaled gas while sleeping. Mrs. Stucator was found uncon¬ scious on the floor after neighbors had smelled gas which had escaped from a disconnected heater. Calls summoned an ambulance and a police rescue squad. Her heart was too weak to risk a half-hour run to the hospital without, administration of oxygen, so two policemen climbed into the vehicle and held the tank while a doctor pumped the contents into her lungs. Truck after truck, loaded with gas tanks, rolled up in quick succession. Locomotive Kills Wolf; Trainmen Get Bounty Montreal, (pie.—Running down a timber wolf with a locomotive was the unusual sport tried near North Bay, Ont., recently, when a light en¬ gine bagged a 90-pound specimen. En¬ gineer Lafontaise, on rounding a curve, saw tlie wolf on the tracks a short distance ahead, and opening the throttle, succeeded in striking the beast with tlie pilot steps. Conduc¬ tor W. G. Watling ran back and fin¬ ished off the animal with n poker. A bounty is paid on wolf skins by the government, as the animals are a men¬ ace to game and live stock. Escort Takes Girl’s I !

After the animals to be shown have been selected, the specialists say, they should be tied in a cool, dark barn, and should he blanketed, and that within the next few days, not just a week or so before the fair at which they are to be shown. Before their blankets are put on, the prize-winners-to-be should have a bath, in water which is not too cold. If they have not shed their long, rough hair, it should be clipped at once, so that their coats will ba smooth by fair time. Their tails, necks and heads should be clipped again about a week before the fair, and their horns polished at the same time. They should be groomed and rubbed down daily. Animals should be in good flesh to show well. If rapid gains in flesh must he made, a little molasses along with their grain mixture may help. Soaked beet pulp will also help in putting them into condition. Bulky feeds, lather than highly concentrated ones, are better in fitting show ani¬ mals for the ring. Every day the animals should be led into the open for a little exercise and to be trained in posing for tlie judges. "The benefits derived from showing at fairs are not measured by (lie premium money received, but by the education, acquaintance, and ad¬ vertising that one gets,” say the spe¬ cialists. I Milk Fever Treatment 1 Given by Nebraska Man Inflating a cow’s udder witli sterile air from a regular milk fever outfit and lv, 1 f" tying 8 ! gns the ° f teats fe with U, r ? broad rst ?e tapes pear ’ lust tight enough to retain the air > is tlle most effective treatment known j for milk fever, says Dr. L. V. Sldd n| cre, Nebraska College of Agricul tare, Lincoln. - j i Never drench the cow with any j J liquid or allow the tapes to remain an the teats more than 20 minutes, is a precaution to those administering treatment. The drench may go into cow’s lungs and the tapes may cause the teats to slough off. The theory that some dairymen have tried adding a little molasses to tlie cow’s ration four to six weeks before calv¬ ing has been found to be effective in some cases in preventing milk fever. The characteristic position of the cow affected witli milk fever Is lying down with her feet extended forward under her body and her head turned backward toward her flank. There is generally a crook in the animal's neck' resembling the letter S. Later the cow will become unconscious and stretch out full length on her side If she is not properly treated. Calf Scours Is Usually Caused by Indigestion Calf scours is a common disease of the digestive tract and is usually caused by indigestion. The calf that scours easily in life may he seriously handicapped and of conrs# sometimes dies. Prevention is best but not al¬ ways possible. Care should be taken that the calf is not overfed, that the milk is always fed warm, and that tlie milk is uniformly sweet and fed from clean buckets. If scours occur, cut the milk down one-half and give a dose of one to three ounces of cas¬ tor oil or of mineral oil. Raw eggs may be used to correct the trouble. Two or three tablespoonfuls of lime water in the milk is sometimes effec¬ tive.
