cussing the wind weather and crops.
Many expressed themselves aB hope-
ful while others with a despondent
look would say. "It all looks dark to

surrounding country were enough to

FORT WORTH Tex. June 24. The

dares emphatically that it has had
nothing to do with the circulation of
certain pamphlets which would have a
tendency to prejudice friends of Sen-
ator Bailey against the prohibition

Texas issued the following today
"My attention bas been called to the
fact that in different counties in this
state there Is being circulated through
a pamphlet entitled "Bailey Bums
and Bar Rooms." I am informed that
It Is being mailed to a large number
of Senator Bailey's prohibition friends
and I desire to state emphatically tlin
no one connected with the State-Wide
Prohibition Amendment Association

sues other than driving the open sa-
loon from tho state of Texas being

On the question of insect pests

tomologist of Toxas at th A. and M.
(College of Texas says in a special
. press bulletin:
1 Tho keeping of chickens free from
j mites and fleas Is not of Itself a dlf-
ificult process but requires constant
.'attention and a great deal of work.
I First of all provide the chickens with
Jan abundance of very fine dust so
that they can have a regular place or
bed in which to dust themselves when-
' ever tho wish. For this purpose the
fine dust from a dry road Is most ex-
cellent and it should have mixed with
it a considerable quantity of very flne-
i ly powdered sulphur. The chickens
'will clear themselves of mites and
lice if given an opportunity to dust
themselves well at all times. It will
I be necessary however to clear the
nests and poultry houses of the peat
'at the same time. Remove all trash
and litter from the poultry house and
burn It. Remove all nest boxes and
burn the hav or straw Contained there
and then spray the interior of the
1 poultry house the roosts the floor
. and nest boxes with some mixfurc
which will destroy the mites and lice.
In spraying use a good spray pump
that will drive the solution Into every
crn"k and crevice and thoroughly sat-
! urate the walls and floor. A 20 per
cent kerosene emulsion Is very good
for this purpose. The following mix-
Uure Is a good one: Make a good
strong whitewash from ordlnaT lime
fand to each two gallon bucket add a
tteaspoonful of carbolic acid and two
Iteacupfuls of kerosene oil. Mix thor-
oughly and strain lxjfore spraying.
Use as much cs four gallons In a
poultry house 8x12 feet each dme. AH
chickens should be out of thejipjiise.
Avlod setting the mixture into the
eyes.
