GIVE FLOCK A BATH TUB—
BUT FILL IT WITH DUST
Chickens never wash, as many
other birds do, but cleanse them-
selves by wallowing in soil. Where
board or cement floors are used in
the chicken house, some means for
dusting should be provided during
the winter months, say poultry
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. For a
flock of 50 or 60 fowls a dust box 3
by 5 feet or 4 by 4 feet will general-
ly be found large enough, and should
be placed where it can be reached by
sunlight during as much of the day
as possible.
Fine, light, dry dust is the best
kind with which to fill the box, but
sandy loam is good. Road dust is
recommended by many, but it is apt
to be filthy. Coal or wood ashes may
be mixed with the soil if desired.
Rabbit skins should always be
saved, as they have a value depend-
ing on their condition, and are
regularly in demand, say scientists
of the Biological Survey, United
States Department of Agriculture.
A skin may be prepared for market
with less trouble than is required to
buy it. It has only to be drawn,
flesh side out, over a piece of thin
board or No. 9 gauge galvanized
wire, shaped to give it uniform ten-
sion and hung in a shady, well-
ventilated place, such as an open
shed, until it becomes bone dry.
Artificial heat should not be used to
dry skins if it is possible to dry them
otherwise before there is danger of
their becoming sour or
Usually after hanging a week or ten
days skins may be removed from
stretchers.
An experienced hand can skin a
rabbit in less than one minute. With
a sharp pointed knife slit the rabbit
from heel past the under side of the
tail to the other heel. Then twist
each hind foot until the knee sticks
out through the slit in the skin. Pass
the fingers between the muscles and
skin to separate them and break the
skin at the base of the tail so that
the bone may be pulled through
them, thus stripping off the skin. It
is then convenient to hang the car-
cass by the hamstrings as high as
the operator’s head, from iron pins
driven 8 inches apart into a hori-
zontal scantling. By using the knife
a little around the flanks shoulders,
eyes, and lips and by severing the
ears from the skull, the skin may be
stripped from the body, inside out,
as a glove is turned from the hand.
If care is taken the skin may be re-
moved whole, thus preserving the
pelt at the same time leaving no
hairs on the meat.
Unless one is killing a great many
rabbits, it is usually preferable to
sell the dried skins to a local buyer,
who will bale and ship for several
producers. When there are a large
number of skins thev maj he viled
eCwecn up:ight scantlings as stove
wood is piled and kept thus until
enough have accumulated to make a
bale. They should then be baled
under lever or screw pressure, se-
curely bound, and covered with bur-
lap for shipment.
If rabbit skins are intended for
home use and not for sale, they may
be tanned. Amateur tanners, how-
ever, are seldom able to secure as
good results as can professional fur
dressers, for the pliability of a pelt
depends largely upon the amount of
labor put upon it, and the furrier
performs this labor by the aid of
modern machinery.
KEEP CONNECTIONS TIGHT
All screws and nuts on gas
engines should be kept tight. The
engine should be gone over every
day or so when it is used, and all
connections tightened and all oil and
dirt wiped off. Such practice will go
far toward preventing operating
troubles, since all gas. engines vibrate
to some extent and this vibration
tends to loosen bolts, nuts and other
parts. :
SELECTION OF A FARM CALLS
FOR STUDY OF MANY POINTS
In choosing a farm one has the
options of buying with the intention
of operating the place as his entire
business, buying a small farm and
rent enough additional land to meet
his needs or renting a farm either on
the shares or cash basis. One’s choice
in the matter is usus''v determined
by the funds availa?
If one has only a small amount of
capital and wishes to undertake
farming as a business from which to
derive his entire income, he should,
in nearly all cases, begin as a renter.
However, if he wishes to buy a farm
on which to live, deriving a part of
his income from other sources, then,
possibly, purchasing is desirable,
even if capital is limited.
Whatever course is followed, it is
highly desirable that one thoroughly
understand the basic principles
governing the farm business before
deciding some of the finer points. A
disregard of these basic principles is
responsible for a large proportion of
farm failure.
A man may unconsciously work all
his life against some economic bar-
rier when success would have been
comparatively easy if he had selected
a farm where the economic prin-
ciples would aid him instead of
working against him.

RED CROSS ACTIVE
When disaster hits a community—
fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado—the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at its heels with help for the
stricken people. Red Cross relief is
almost immediately forthcoming—food,
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience in bandling similar trouble
elsewhere,
During the last year, ending June 30,
there was an average of four disasters
a month in the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities in
twenty-seven states suffered. The
largest and most destructive of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadoes In Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events of horror 850 per-
sons were killed, 1,500 were injured,
13,000 were made homeless, about 30,-
000 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $100,000,000 and al
most $1,000,000 in relief funds, not in.
cluding emergency supplies was ex-
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $120,000 worth of sup:
plies, 110 Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. Omé hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
If disaster ever strikes this town er
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be right om
hand to help them in every way.

This will be our first real sale since the war—in fact,
very few sales were held during the past four or five years.
Every imaginable commodity was far short of the de-
mand, and therefore, special sales seemed foolhardy, be-
| cause replacement was like forecasting the weather. h
When the supply caught up with the demand a few
® months ago and the consumer curtailed his purchases;

E prices were unexpectedly forced downward.
i This store purposely avoided scarehead lines and rash J
% statements to prevent the least semblance of a panic, but }
very promptly and systematically readjusted the prices on
our entire stock to make them conform with the prevailing
market. ;
Our Spring lines will be here in time for Easter, and the §
prices will be lower than they've been for some years.
