That W hitewashing Job 
in poultry houses, stables, pig pens, cellar 
or outbuilding can be done quickly and 
easily at a saving of time, labor and 
money if you will use Carbola instead 
of whitewash and disinfectants. 
CarbolaTakes the Meanness Out of the 
Job and Gives Better Results Besides. 
Carbola is a white paint and powerful dis¬ 
infectant combined in powder form that 
paints and disinfects at one operation. Just 
mix with water and apply with brush or 
spray pump — that’s all. No waiting or 
straining. No clogging sprayer. No peeling 
off. One gallon covers 200 square feet. 
Carbola is used on thousands of farms to 
help put the buildings in that clean, sani¬ 
tary condition that is such a help in avoid¬ 
ing the losses caused by lice, mites and 
many cf the contagious diseases that affect 
poultry and livestock. The dry Carbola is 
an excellent louse powder. 
Your hardware, paint, seed or drug dealer 
has Carbola or can get it. If not, order 
direct. Satisfaction, or your money back.

Scientific Discovery Quickly 
Ends Rats and Mice 
One of the features of the successful experiments of 
the well known bacteriologist, Dr. Earp-Thomas, is that 
while rats and mice are quickly cleared out of buildings 
and destroyed out of doors, there is nothing in his method 
that can possibly harm any human being or animals, 
except rats and mice. 
Countless horn r rnd business places, warehouse* and 
so on, now overr i.< with these destructive, filthy, disease¬ 
carrying animals, can be quickly and easily cleared. 
The factory of James T. Reynolds & Sons, Pontiac, 
Michigan, seemed like a swarming place for rats. Other 
efforts failing, Dr. Earp-Thomas’ aid was sought. 
Early in July, the first test was made, and on August 20 
the following report was received from Messrs. Reynolds 
& Sons: 
“There has been a complete absence of rats in 
and around the premises where they had been 
very, very troublesome. 
“ No dead rats were found until a recent heavy 
rainstorm, when hundreds of them were washed 
through the surface drains into the river. A 
noticeable absence of rats is reported for a square 
block around our place.” 
The Earp-Thomas Cultures Corporation, who make 
bacteria cultures of various kinds for use all over the 
world, supply reliable cultures which destroy rats and 
mice in multitudes and which anyone can safely use, 
easily and quickly clearing the premises. 
Mr. Reynolds was surprised to find the cost so little. 
Those experiencing trouble will do well to write Dr. 
Earp-Thomas, who will give the desired information 
promptly. 
Rats are altogether too cunning to permit of their 
wholesale destruction with poison, but Dr. Earp-Thomas’ 
method spreads disaster that the rats cannot control. 
This method is a possibility that has long been hoped for 
and will prove of universal benefit in disposing of 
a general nuisance.

EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
In answer to many questions about this egg- 
laying contest, the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs Postoffice in connection 
with the Connecticut Agricultural College. The 
contest begins November 1. There are 10 pul¬ 
lets in each pen. All the birds receive uniform 
treatment. The houses are all alike, and the 
feed is the same for all. The contest continues 
for one year. The weekly records cover the 
number of eggs laid for each pen in the current 
week, and also the total number of eggs laid 
since the first of last November. The contest 
will end November 1, at which time these birds 
will he removed, and another set of pullets 
entered for the next year.

Breeding Young Geese 
Can the eggs of a one-year-old White 
China goose, mated to the same age gan¬ 
der. be hatched with success? a. g. h. 
Patchogue, N. Y. 
I believe you will have good success 
with the eggs from young Chinese geese, 
although some poultrymen do not favor 
it. The Chinese mature much earlier 
than the larger breeds, consequently the 
eggs are more fertile from yearling birds. 
The following is a good feed for breeding 
geese: In the morning give bi’an four 
parts, middlings two par*ts, cornmeal one 
part. Clover chaff or Alfalfa leaves 
and vegetables should be added in the 
Winter. Mix all to a crumbly mash 
with water or milk. At night give whole 
corn, oats or barley, preferably corn. Be 
careful not to get them too fat, as the 
eggs will not be so fertile. I know of 
nothing which will force young geese to 
lay unless it be meat scrap. Geese usu¬ 
ally lay when they please, whether it is 
satisfactory to the owner or not. M. b,

I^Feed economy 
starts at home 
True feed economy consists in the proper 
use of roughage and not in searching the 
markets for cheap grain feeds. 
The largest part of a dairy ration con¬ 
sists of roughage grown on the farm. The 
digestible food elements in roughage, 
such as silage, hay, pasturage, and roots 
are worth pound for pound as much as 
those which you buy in the grain ration. 
When the grain is properly combined 
with the available roughage to form a bal¬ 
anced ration, there is true feed economy 
for there is no waste and the nutrients in 
both roughage and grain ration are utilized. 
-O-GA 
FEED SERVICE 
accomplishes this economy by furnishing feeds to combine 
with different kinds of roughage and in each case form a 
balanced ration: 
Red Brand TI’O'GA Dairy Feed 
to be fed with low protein succulent roughage: Silage, Pastur¬ 
age, Green Fodder, etc. 
White Brand TI"0“GA.Dairy Feed 
to be fed with medium protein dry roughage: Timothy Hay, 
Mixed Hay, Corn Fodder, etc. 
Blue Brand TI'OGA Dairy Feed 
to be fed with high protein dry roughage: Clover Hay, Alfalfa, etc. 
In each case the cow gets the same amount of nutrition in 
the same nutritive ratio and you get more money from 
your roughage. 
If your dealer does not have the kind of TI-O-GA Dairy 
Feed to balance your roughage, advise us and we will ar¬ 
range for some nearby dealer to supply you.
