On %wbat principle is it that,
when we see nothing but improve-
ment behind us, we are to expect
nothing but deterioriation before
us?
Itis not by the intermeddling of
the omnis•ciont and omnipotent
State, but by the prudence and
energy of the people, that England
has hitherto been carried forward
its civilization; and it is to the same
prudence and the same energy that
we now look with comfort and
good hope.

FAIR EXCHANGE
Two men went out hunting with
their wives one day. During the
morning, one of the hunters
thought he saw a deer behind a
clump of bushes and took a shot at
it. The other fellow appeared and
shouted, "Hey, what's the idea?
'You .nearly shot niy wife." The
sorry," and handing his friend his
first hunter then replied, "I'm so
gun, he pointed at bis own wife and
said, -"Here, take a shot at mine."
Poachers
Outwitted

It happened that young Glen
Lloyd was the only warden an
duty when Chief Fred Mather re-
ceived word that poachers were
doing a wholesale business in
moose meat up in Birchill county.
Glen was a rookie on the job. As
yet he'd had •no contact with either
the hardships or the dangers of a
north woods game warden, Chief
Mather decided to use discretion.
"You go up there and do some
reconnoitering," he told the youth.
"You'll find a base camp under
a cliff neat the headwaters of the
Beaver, Make this your head
quarters until Warden Loomis ar-
rives. He'll tell you how to pro-
ceed " Chief Mather drummed with
his pencil. "Don't take any chances,
SOD. C've an idea that Moe Stan-
ford's behind this ring. He's a had
actor "
Glen reached the base cabin two
days later. The ground was cov-
ered with a six-inch fall of snow.
Glen waited two days more and
then decided to take matters into
his own hands. Armed with his
service .pistol and a flashlight lie
concealed- himself near the tote
road on to of a ridge where the
progress of the truck would have
to• be slow. It was bitterly cold and
a brisk wind was blowing. Also
there was the promise of snow in
the air. ea
Midnight came and went, and
Glen's spirits ebbed low. Cursing
himself far delaying action, Glen
was about to quit his hiding place
when he heard distinctly the roar
of an automobile,
He waited until the driver was
shifting gears for the final pull,
then stepped out into the glare of
the lights. He held his gun in one
hand. The badge on his sheepskin
coat was plainly visible.
Instead of stopping, the driver
bore down on the accelerator. The
truck roared straight at the warden.
Glen stepped to one side, barely
avoiding being hid:, and as the
So iuu'd like to have more eggs

when you rid your hens of lice.
Louse -free hens will lay that many
more eggs than liens just moder-
ately infested.
* * e:
They're not just guessing either.
They released those figures only
after extensive field trials.
* * *
Next question — What's the best
way to kill those pests. Well, here's
what their tests showed:
Sodium fluoride is efficient both
as a dust or dip, and costs only 2c
per bird. However, you have to
handle the birds individually; it's
irritating to the person doing the
job; it will kill chickens if they
eat it.
*: * *
Nicotine sulfate, painted on the •
roosts, cuts the number of lice, but
doesn't kill many head lice. You
paint it on the roosts; you don't
have to handle the birds, Three
treatments will keep lice pretty well
under control for a year, and will
cost less than `sodium fluoride.
*: * *
Sulfur dust doei a good job.
Sprinkle it in the litter, at he rate of
two pounds for every 100 square
feet. Do that twice, seven to 10 days
apart, and you'll get control far
about three .months or longer. It's
cheap --$2.50 to $3 per 100 pounds.
It is irritating to the eyes, and the
birds should be cooped up until
they've all dusted themselves.
* * *
DDT, either as a 10% dust or a
4 of 1% .wettable clip, dotes not do
as good a job as sodium fluoride,
although you can get good control
by catching the birds and spraying
theta until they're drenched with a
5%n wetable mixture.
* * *
Benzene hexachloride, painted on
the roosts, gave good control for
a time, but the lice returned in
about two months. - A. 5% ducat
scattered over the floor gave Swed
results, when used at else rats aE
two pounds per 100 square feet, No
oft -Havered 'eggs resulted.

who go in for growing peaches,
here's something that may be news
to some of you. By packing the
peaches like ohocolates, some New
Jersey growers got a premium of
from one to two dollars a bushel
last season.
* * *
The tree -ripened peaches were
packed in "crinkle cups" in a new
type of consumer carton. Each of
the cartons is partitioned to hold 1.2
peaches. The package is made of
light cardboard, attractively colored
and features. a transparent window.
*: * * • e„
Four growers packed 2,460 of
these cartons last season and mar-
keted "them through a co-op grav-
ers' association, which made a
number of shipments to chain
stores, commission houses, and
other buyers.
The peaches arrived at the retail
stores in excellent condition. The
pliable paper cups held them snugly
without bruising, and they got a
grand reception from the custo-
mers. In some of the shipments
the peaches were packed on their
sides rather than on the stem end,
The high color and blush of the
fruit showed to particular advant-
age against the greets background
of the crinkle cups.
The average price which that
farmers received amounted to $4,29
per carton of 12 Consumer packages
(about a bushel). But although this
was a premium of $1 a bushel over
peaches packed in the ordinary
way, naturally the growers had
extra expense in packing them in
-cups, So, if you think of giving it
a trial—well, use your own judg-
