JUNE 8th 1912 No: 23 The Lumber Industry Specially Written for the Compilers of "BRITISH COLUMBIA, ITS HISTORY, PEOPLE, COMMERCE, INDUSTRIES and RESOURCES." By A. E. WATTS, Wattsburic. B. C. During an interview A. K. Wntts, President ot the Wattsburg Lumber Co., Ltd., stated that the Wattsburg mill was cleaning up preparatory to closing down indellnntely, which has hitherto always been operating summer and winter nnd still has au a- bundance of timber close by. That their Proctor mill ts about to start operations but only for the' pur pose of sawing logs thnt would other wise spoil, not because the lumber waB required, or prolituble to make or ship at the present prices prevailing, owing to the dumping ol American lumber on to the only market the Interior nl B.C. possesses; tbat this state of allairs and the consequent depression of business in the Interior ol B.C. wus entirely due to the lact that the lumher industry was and ls, a martyr to political expediency and the ignorance and crass stupidity ol some mnnulacturers who are afraid to confers that their business is not profitable, fearing the lasb ot their financial musters, otherwise even the opposition in Parliament to the demands for justice to B.C. would be willing to grnnt Justice to a persecuted Industry. Rut more ot this Mr. Wntts will explain in his articles now being written tor the compilers of the HiRtory of B.C., which will be published in short chapters, In the press prior to publication in the History of B.C. The vast areas of valuable timber possessed hy British Columhla have provided the Province with one third ol its total Income, consequently this Industry is of great Importance; not only to those directly engaged in the business but to the allied trudes, merchsnts and others. When this business is depressed the effects ure keenly lelt throughout the province. The rapid development and expansion of business In the udjoining Prairie Provinces, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, provide a mag nlflcent market lor the product ol the interior lumber mills ol British Columbia, but that is their only market. The coast mills have the world lor their market, consequently they do not feel the results of the severe com petition cnttsed by the dumping ol the cheapest grades nl lumber by the American Manufacturers from the adjoining States ol Washington. Montana and Idaho, which enter Canada Knights of Pythias At the regular meeting ol the Knights ol Pythias held on Tuesday In their hall many topieB ol Interest to members were taken up and ills cussed; also the report Irom the delegates Bros.

Special improvement was nrrnnged for ln connection with the widows and orphans ol the deceased members of tbe order needing relief, This part of the benefits ot the order Is well looked after nn the principle that the strong should protect the weak, various homes and Institutions ure provided specifically lor their lament, the order carrying the expense for the upkeep. Urn. Ktimnirr ulso spoke of the won derlul anil Intensely Interesting ad tereatlng address given by Major Htoddart to the delegates In attendance, giving one ol the most beaut), fui addresses on Pytlilnnlsin tlmt thn (Iriinil Lodge had ever heard. On behalf nl the Pythian Misters special mention was inado lo ulster Thomas ol HnsHland nnd her tilouunttt appeal on hehnll of thu sister lodge llru. Hill said thut Ilio.

The reasons for this are peculiar, the lum her business being the victim of political expediency. The question Is often usked "Why Canadian Manufacturers cannot make lumber as cheaply us their neighbors? They can, although they aro handicapped by a duty on nil tbe supplies tbey use, hut owing to the superior stability of Canadian Hanking insti tutions during times ot depression their clients are uot so hard pressed, the tlnancial lush is used more moderately ln Canada than in the Uuited States, many American manufacturer ure compelled to realise on their stocks at very much below the coBt of production. 1 have recently been severely criticised by the American press for making such statements,Ivut being true I presume the smart is tbe keener. In a standard und Historical work of this kind for future reference tig- tires may prove useful although dry tending tor the general public, they will show the reasons why a once prosperous induBtry conducted by pioneers, hardly sons of toll, descend ed from u prosperous eminence to tbe point of struggling for distance, undermined by foreign competition driven with a financial lush more cruel tlnin the nigger drivers used. Home took refuge nud hy false and nil kinds of BUbtertUBes unloaded their holdings unto British investors. Kor wnrnings I hnve Issued through the London press I have Incurred much odium. History should lie truth unvnrntsh ed. If Bpnce permits 1 shall tell a lot of lt, of scenes behind the scenes, pol itical,financial, commercial and other; how nnd why the magnificent timber resources of this country are wasted and capital squandered with no result, and unjustly injuring the credit of Canada, und discounting her vust resources in the financial centres ot the world. The simple truth plainly told will restore conlidence in tbe potentialities or possibilities in a country so richly endowed with latent wealth awaiting development, but handicapped by seltish politicians, and those who wish to unload their holdings by "get rich quick" schemes (to be continued ___ Wardner Alive It appears that Wardner Is now on the move with a vengeance. At an enthusiastic meeting held on Friday lust, local palltlclana were determine to take their sbnre In the Dominion and Provioclnl polities ol the future by forming a Liberal-Conservative Mr. V. (.affray was tho chosen chairman of the evening. The must Important Item was the election ol ofllcers, the following being clceted- Honornry President—The Hon. B. McBrlde President—P. Lund. Hec.-Treno.—II. E. Mackee. Executive Committee—Messrs. Kred Leant, (ten Hatward. anil John Martin These officers nre enthusiastic lol- lowera nnd admirers of the Honorable "Dick" nnd will, when once they have settled down tn further ilelnlls of the work, mnke their Inlluettee felt In the Kootenny district, It Is only by the proper watching ol State and Prov Incial mutters hv responsible citizens that we cnu hope to receive good and profitable legislation It Is hoped Ibul the clt'ionr. of War dnor nnd Immediate dlslrlcl will give lhe new iissoelullnn their most ror dial support. Boy's Scouts Organized Grown-ups and Boys All Interested —Organization Promises to be Successful from the Start The Canadian Uoy Scout movairnmt; has reached Cranbrook. The boys ftre sincere iu their earnestness. To havo seen the lnrg-e number which turned tip at the meeting on Wednesday even ing in the Gym, would hnve dislodged and doubts as to the possibility ot the movement succedlnij in Crnnbrook Mr. J. P. Leslie, acting Bcout master of the new brigade has been working (or some time now in trying to L-et the; boys together and interesting them suHlclently in the work to ar- rouse their eagerness to join. At the meeting Mr. Leslie gave a somewhat lengthy talk about the movement, how it was taking hold of tbe boyB from one end of the land to the other; reading a number of extracts from various paper--; to buck up hU assertions. Mr. Leslie.laid particular Btress on the fact that one of the main principles involved in the work and accrued to tbe boy scout the moat benefit was its advantage ns a character builder. In this case quoting "The Canadian Boy Scout" l»y Buden Powell ns the authority lor tbe tremendous results fn this direction. Mr. K. V. Dangerfteld of Calgary, a man greatly interested in the movement, in his short address he made particular stress that the impressions a boy received from the aire o| 11 to 12 up were fundermental for the rest of liis life; therefore, they should be cultivated and trained in the best way, no better way has been discovered than that of the Boy Scouts which is discipline ami order of thej highest kind. No acout Is a good! scout unless he ovieys, this will natur ally lead to greater respect for the j leaders and parents. Oue thing not to be Inst sight of iB that the movement is undenominatiou j al, this iB an important feature, and, no parent need have any qualms of conscience in thiB respect. \ Mr. I)an?erft>1d drew the hoya atten tion to tbe fact that in Red Deer the Boy Scouts ot that district gave their aasistaace to the tracking of a criminal aud three hoys succeeded in tracking aud holding the big husky fellow until larger assistance arrived to make his arrest. Mr. [fl, H. L. Attree, one time scout master nt SpareawolU. Winchester, Kngland, drew the boys attention to the wonderful possibilities there are in this district for developing tbe boy scout training, the hills woods, and in parts thick undergrowth all will play their part uud an Important part jn the work at hand. At the close a business- meeting was called, Rev. W. Stephens and Rev. Dunham addressed the gathering. The otTUcera elected were as follows President—J, D. McBride Vice-T resident—L. J. Cranston Hon. Secretary—Rev.W.E.Dunham Hon. Treas.—R. T. Brymner Executive Committee—Messrs. P..I, Denn, C. C. Connolly, J. R. McNabb Rev. W. Stephens, N. A. Wallinger, aud the Scoutmaster and us-dstant Scout master. Acting Scout Master—J.P.Leslie Assistant Acting Scout Master- Rev. W. K. Dunham. A MOTHER PRAISES THK BOY SCOUT IDEA In the May numher of the Woman's Home Companion, a mother gives her personal experiences with her trouble some boy of twelve or fourteen years of age and tells how his connection with the Boy Scouts of America made a better boy of him. "The twelve points ot the Scout law," sayi mother, in her article, are 1. A Scout is trustworthy 2. A Scout is loyal 3. A Scout Is helpful 4. A Scout Is friendly R. A Scout ts courteous G. A Scout is kind tbe 7. A Hcout is obedient H. A Scout is cheerful 9. A Scout is thrifty 10. A Scout is brave 11. A Scout is clean 12. A Bcout Ib reverent After telling how her sou entered the movement, she goes on to gay: "* had hoped my boy would b* all these things, nnd had so admonished him. But these are scout laws, mind you, not advice nnd admonitions,- uot hopes backed by maternal pleadings and fears, but laws, self-imposed when the Scout takes his onth; for in taking tho oath he promises to obey these laws. That settles it. II the Scout movement stood tor these things, and inspired and exacted them, I was with it, heart and soul. "From the start the whole thing thing was a great success. The Boy, for one, benefited immensely by the sssociation. It would take me too long to tell how much. I only tell you humbly that some of the faults ln him which I had worked with for years, such ns selfishness, uhiftlessnes occassional cowardice, and sometimes irreverence, began to disappear, and without fret or friction. A good Scout had none of these faults: they are against the Scout law. He waB trying to be a good scout; that waa all. "Have you a boy of your own? It you have, I think you cannot do better than to look into the Scout move ment. He is sure to hear of it, and, it he is anywhere near twelve, or thir teen, or fourteen, he is pretty sure to want to join It. I beg of you, too, not to put anything in his way; and then further, I beg you to keep your hands off, Your pnrt ts to listen when he talks to you about it; to approve; to have a good supper waiting for him when he comes back from hl« Scout tramps, and to continue to say your prayers at night for hitn." The Year 1915 Commemorates Many Annivenariei—Imperial Exhibition Promised. Boxing in Cranbrook Severe Opposition Should be Manifest Towards It Unfair to Local Talent Billy Nut ol Reglna mill Charlie Caven of New Mlcliel ure scheduled to meet In n boxing contest In the Auditorium on Monday June 17th. Thiii Hunt, If allowed to proceed, Ib absolutely unfair to the local talent, when young Sttceter received a challenge from Fred Lang of Spokane, permission waa asked to have the con teat fought ln Oranbrook, the light to be held in the Auditorium Theatre, and ii tllatlnct negative wns given to the request ns NO MORE FIGHTS WAS EVER TO BR HELD IN (.'HANDBOOK. When H. Simpson, Fred Lang's manager, cnnie In Irom Spokane to make the necessary arrangements he distinctly told our representative Hint In all probability there would be enough sporting men come In from Spokane as to be necessary almost to charter a special train, ('runted thla, sporting men from across the line would never come here without plenty of money In their pockets to meet their oft-times extravagant needs. Wheu they returned home It would be with depletod pockets as a considerable amount, could not help but be lelt ln the city. From a mercenary standpoint this tight of Streotor versus Lang would have been nn help to Cranbrook. From un advertising point of view thu publicity given to the Spokan Idol through the medium of the Spok nne Rovlew and other dallies of tbe metropolis would have been such us to make Crnnbrook, In sporting circle as well as In others, a byword for n time; the number of visitors from all round tho district would have provided the means necessary to **rovide lo- I'ul citizens the Joy of showing what we have bole and the progress we are, making. Lothlirldgo is now to receive ull this, as Htrootor and Lang are scheduled to moot In the prnlrle city.— Trust tho prnlrle city for letting a lot of freo advertising go by. The fight we now hnve scheduled Is for rank outsiders—both of them—anil the same arguments could easily be upheld, but as they are unknown mat erlal they ure uo drawing card and we i-uostlou If they would get but half a house ln attendance. As we said nl the flrst tills Dght Is distinctly unfair to the local talent and should not be allowed to proceed Nothing whatever can be said In Its favor and tbe act of Injustice would rankle in the minds of local puuplo. It these Hotting Contests nre to be allowed give local boys ALL the preference, II wo have any to hold the honors. II the local boys are not allowed to light, why, stop these contests right awny und let nn one strudille the fence In favor ol one or tbe other. The power Is principally held by the chief of police Cory How, hut We arc in hopes that steps will at once be taken to stop this unfair exhlbl tlon to the local boys.

Ita alma and nbjects are in harmony with the time. To tnke stock of the Umpire; to Increase the return of trade In nuin- ifncturcs und raw material, Internally and externally; to cause a greater realization of the vast resources, pos- ■dblllties, nnd opportunities ol the Dominions, to show the world at large the magnificent solidarity ol the Empire—in short, to provide e minnture panorama of the countrici .roductions, commerce, nnd occupations of tbe iieoples of the world'* -reatest Empire—these are the oh ectu of the committee of the Imper Ini Exhibition, 1916. LOHI1 STRATHCONA ACTIVE Tbe advice and assistance of that great Imperialist, the Right Honor- ible Lord Strathcona anh Mount Royal, O.C.V.O., O.O.M.C'., have '.een freely given. So greatly does the scheme appeal to him that be has consented to become president of 'he committee. Thnt body, composed of men holding every shnde of po- litlcnl opinion but united In the desire to help practical Imperialism, 'ins elected the following Advisory lommittee: Captain Sir Peter Stewart.Bam, chairman.)

A small guarantee fund tins been ormed for the initial expenses in onneetion with the Exhibition, and i,ord Strathcona has generously made, 'tlmsslf re-qionsible for tbe larger ■nirtlon of tbls sum.When negotintton bnve bcen completed for u suitable (ti, a larger guarantee fund will be raised, nnd It is confidently In.ped that prominent Imperialists throughout the Kmplre will give their support in pructlcal lorm to this scheme In bringing the project forward, the committee are using every means iu their power to make the Kxhlbttion nll-emhraclng in its interests, and huve heartily welcomed many lielpfull suggestions. Each Colony will, It is hoped, vie in friendly rivalry with its neighbor In showing to Lhe world the enormous resources ot the Hritisb Empire. In addition to the Colonlnl products to be exhibited, British manufacturers will, It Is hoped, help to ■nuke the Exhibition thoroughly representative. It is proposed to send commissions to the Colonies, with the object of bringing the possibilities of the scheme before manufacturers, exporters, and the Colonial public generally, At the same time, representatives will tour the HrttlBh lsl..H and make the alms and objects ol the Exhibition thoroughly appreciated. A special feature will be mad. ot ihe various raw materials used by British manufacturers alike here aud and overseas; there will be sections for every species of natural productions; every description of manufactured article will be shown, aad there will be a novel section dealing with British Inventions. All available information Is to be placed at th. disposal of intending exhibitors. PRACTICAL BENEFITS. The figures showing the increase of trade following the Franco-British nnd Japan-British Exhibitions encouraged high hopes as to the mutual advantages likely to occrue to tbe Culonies und the Mother Country when their respective productions are urruyed In competition with one another. The committee nre confident that the exhibitions to be held In other parts of the world in 1915 will not affect the hucccbs ol the Imperial Kxhibltlon. They nre of the opinion that n nrltlsh Exhibition for British people will Imi In Itself • novel fenture. landing Oolottlale are anxious to attract tbe finest class of English settlers to their shores, nnd reliable Information will be given by experienced representatives of the Overseas (.overnments as to the suitability of such districts for the various classes of Intending colonists. An increased knowledge nf British productions will stimulate trade; the educational advantages derived from a wider comprehension ol the conditions of life, the spheres of Industry, and the linen ol progress of Orester Britain, will prove Invaluable, and the exhibition, it Is believed, will forge another link ln the chsin of mutual attachment binding tbe Mother Country and the Dominions beyond th.

Our Gold Coinage Canadians will soon hnve their first gold coinage—that is, those who ar. fortunate enough to get hold of them, for no doubt tbe gold coins will be ss shy nnd elusive as always have been the silver ones or the paper currency. Will our five nnd ten dollar gold pieces come Into us common use as prevails In the Old Country with respect to sovereigns and half-sovereigns'' Possibly not. (or some tuns at any rate, because this gensratioo of Canadians Is not accustomed to earry any considerable amount of money in nuns The Englishman has his nent little coin-case, and It Is nn ordinary practlc. for him to me.t nurr.nl expenditure by paying out gold. The only coins with which most Canadians are familiar with are those ot silver, and we only use them se "smnll change'' When .mall change will not pny the hill we use the notes ol tbe Dominion up to four dollars snd Bnnk notes for larger amounts. A us. of our new gold coins would possess certain advantages, one being Its cleanliness The fllthlness of much of our paper currency la notorious. It hns t.eon complained ..f time and time again, nnd several Ministers of Finance, Mr Fielding In particular, promised to do something to drive iltrty impel money out of circulation.

KURD A STRTDB, dip tain Photographing Indians. Iu almost every city where the 101 Kancl. Real Wild Went Show exhibits the Indian village ia beseiged by photographers anxious to secure perfect holographs of the Indians. At first the rod ind with characteristic pride ook kindly to tbe efforts of tbe simp Hhooters and posed willingly in order hat perfect results might be obtained When the photographers commenced to tender pieces of money when the photographs had been obtained the In liana wake up to the realization that their pictures had a commercial ,*fllue and now they refuse to Btand or any more free sittings. Their tUBlness tart has been so well devolved that they demand the money irst and na such as it is given then 'he Indian becomes a willing subject or tho photographer. They have not jecidod on any regular price and a 'ally colored handkerchief or hand nlrror will gain a suitable subject niich quicker than will a twenty dollar bill. Thu strange part of it is that the Indian never expects any rerun! from the lady kodak handlers and there is no limit in their posing or them. This may he Indian gallantry but Ik more probable that the Indian is of the opinion that the white ladies hold the same position with their families as does the st.uuw with her family. That is, she is never allowed to own anything that the Indian wants. Chief "Many Horses" ilways inaists that one of the photo* graphs taven of himself be nailed binv ind his teepee is adorned with many good and more bad efforts of the photographers 'for whom he has posed The aiiuawa have no particular in this perpetuation of their fares and would never submit to sittings or standings were It not for the fact that the bucks-insist upon it in order that more rewards may come their way. Not ths way of the nquawa hut the way of their lord and musters, for no Indian haa ever been accused of giving bis Squaw anything he want oil himself, That is not Indian like One noticeable trait of the Indian is .- hi'ii he wants anything he wants it ■nd will sacrifice everything else he poSBOHSOfl in orai-r to secure the one (inverted article and frequently he wil [ive teu times its value only to In- hide it among bis other possessions to baiter for BOmstllillg else that may strike his peculiar fancy.

Each Family Has Its Own Flock and the Children Feed Them. There are many small villages in tbo world that have only ono street, but Lerwick, In Shetland, besides having only a single street, possesses only one tree. There nre no birds there, not even a sparrow, but the seagulls are plentiful. The seagulls are tbe sparrows of Lerwick, and as such fhey have a greater share Iu tbe town's life than the sparrows of London. In the morning you will note tbat a seagull sits on every chimney pot. Seagulls swoop aud hover over every roof ln town. The air Is fui of their strange, high, plaintive, haunting cries. Kvery house lias lis own familiar seagulls and every street Its owu band of them. Rut they never mix. The children tn each house have a pet name for their own particular seagulls, and having called them by thoso names, tbey feed tbem every day, Knch seagull knows what is meant for him. No bird attached to one house ever seeks to eat the food scattered from tbo house next door. He docs not dare to do so. So ail day long the seagulls hov<*r nnd call over the roofs of Lerwick.

Tho application has been accepted by the government for coul rights over five sections, the moHt valuable of which it is proposed to retain lor future development, according to the mining expert's estimate ol several millions of tons on the area you owned at that time, that and the additional area acquired should produce enough coal lor continuous operations lor many centuries. This mine is only 172 miles from Spokane, nearer than any other operating coal mine, and Spokane is the blggCBt coal market, in the north-west The present cost of frolght is $2.50 por ton. The Kettle Valley railway now in course of construction will shorten the haul and as competitive railroads pass near the mine a reduction in freight may be expected. Wc will allow a generous price for mining, say $1.50 Iretgbt at $2.50 anil duty por Ioiik ton at .50—total $4.50 We can deliver domestic coal In Spokane and allow the retailer $1.00 per ton, and make $3.00 per ton profit for the Mining Compnny, and I sell coal nt lees thnn the prevailing prices, which are from $9.00 to $10.0(1 "per ton.

The enormous body oi eoal is proven by the eltnttince of the ninny veins. i 2. The transportation facilities, the coal being clos* to two railways. 3. The contiguity to great consuming; centres with no other producing mines within hundreds of miles. For instance, B.C. Copper Smelter, Greenwood.

Box S45 Create Prince of Ireland Dublin, June 3.—Dublin hopes soon to welcome the young Prince ot Wales. It is expected that his younger brother will come with him and thereby bangs a tale which is tearing Irish society into shreds. It is understood thnt King (leorge ib discussing with the members of the cabinet the question whether it would not be well to revive interest in the dynasty by creating a prince of Ireland, the title to be borne by the second son of ench succeeding mon j arch and to be held by such son af- ] ter a change of reign until the next in line attain a certain age. The idea is to signali/e the passing of the home rule bill and the giving of royal assent by some act which I shall show the personal interest of j tbe sovereign in bis Irish sutijects, 1 and bring the court at Oorv HIU up ta ii standard of real royalty. The Welsh got tbeir own special] prince as n sop for tbe extinction of i Owen Glendower. It was England's! principal pledge of pence between the] Hill Celts of Wales and border war-: riors. It proved a moat excellent bargain and no title in the roll of. British nobility blazons with more brilliant associations than those of "Ich dien" (I serve), the motto plucked by the warlike lOdwurd with the three plumes snatched from his Poitiers captive, John, the blind king of Bohemia. If the ideg is curried out is hardly lively to please everybody. The vice regal dignity would, of course, be In some degree lessened und to that extent removed from the anihitionsof many noble peer umi peeress and it would he a Iohs bard to hear, particularly now when thu new Dublin is attracting so many high, when tho Irish Lord lieutenant ami his lady will he poople of the most potential importance if the offices are not abolished. So society among the "ellgl- bles" is hostile to the proposition. while many of the lesser nobility and commoners are delighted with it. Both sides hnve to be considered. lt is not too lute to begin keeping account ot tlic eggs sold from the fnrm Hock during the coming season It Is a sate guess that such un uc- catint will surprize those who have never tried it, It faithfully kept throughout tho year, lit must be remembered, though that our present method of marketing eggs is nbout lu lino with bringing butter to the store to exchunge lor groceries. The whito dlurrlmeu, tlmt causes much mortality among Chickens, can be largely avoided if tbe incubators and brooders nre thoroughly disinfected. This muy be done by placing BOtflO sulphur in u shallow dish and 'putting a mutch to it, afterwards o- poning the doors to allow of airing. To raise healthy chicks mix one- third grit hy weight in their food the Ilrst three days; from then until the fourteenth dny, one-sixth weight. Gradually decrease the amount in food, ami be mire to keep {'(instantly before thm-i. (Irlt should not be too course. That poultry parasites tend O In crease and multiply with remarkable rapidity at this season of the ytar Is a fact that poultry keopnrs often tall to realize until the effects of infestation make a aoticable difference In the appearance and condition of the fowls. Young chickens and turkeys are very liable to the Utir-k of \ those pests, owing to tbe neglect ol sitting hens, their nests, houses, and surroundings generally, and where preventive measures hnve not been taken or have proved Ineffectual, examination and treatment should immediately follow suggestive signs of distress. According to correspondence, loss of feathers appears to he very prevelent just now among the older birds, and as this ls commonly due to the plucking and eating) Of feathers ns a result of tbe presence, of mites at the roots of the quills, special attention should be given to cleansing operations, tbe provision of suitable dry dusting material, and the frequent use ot fresh pyrcthrum powder or flowers ot sulphur. COLDS AND ROUP Colds and roup are often prevalent and while thoy do not appear to be contagious, thoy nre none the less so and should be remedied before they carry their ravages through tho entire dock. The question naturally arises: "Are the sick birds worth doctoring—if tbey are, what is the remedy""' As to whether tliey are worth treating depends on the bird. Thore nre sick birds thnt should be killed at once and burned. Again there ure others that arc worth saving. If they are to be saved, however, they must receive immediate and effective treatment, The following simple remedy will prove entirely sufficient in a large per cent, of the cases where thu trouble is a cold or the initial stages of roup. Prepare a solution of li per cent. permanganate of potash, by dissolving 2 ounces of the permanganate crystals thought nt any drug store at about 3'l cents per pound) in Si qiiai't- of water. Keep this solution always on hand, and when n bird shows the lirst signs of nose or throat trouble, take enough of the solution to allow the head of tbe bird to be submerged and put the sick bird's head under It until it nearly chokcB. Remove the bird's head from the liquid nnd allow It to sneeze and sputter, forcing tbe liquid into nil the nlr passages. Repeat this three times before you let the bird go, nnd repent it twice a day until the bird no longer shows signs of the disease. The operation is simple nnd easily done, and in the majority of cases sufficient, potassium permanganate Is an excellent disinfectant and can be given to the birds to drink with the result, that mnny other cases can be warded off. Wben given in the wnter, only enough should he placed in tbe drinking water to give it n claret color. Tbe birds can be given water thus treated for three or four days at a time. No other water should be placed where tbe birds can get it, otherwise thoy will prefer tbe un treated wnter to that containing the drug. This treatment will not remove the flrst cause of colds and roup. This must be bourne in mind, lit will not offset the bad effects of drafts, overcrowding and bad ventilation, those factors that cause so much of the poultrymun's troubles. Prevention is always better than cure, und the u- liove treatment is only tbe supple ment to tbe proper housing of poultry. A sick hen will not lay, even though she Is only n little sick. Nell her will she Iny ns noon as she gets well, in fact she may never be a profitable bird for brooding purposes. It pays therefore to first prevent the flrst cause of sickness und secondly to take proper care of th© birds after tbey hnve recovered ^ Makes more | bread and better bread" PURITO FLOUR Sold By The Fink Mercantile Co.
