All Sorts 
Alien’s Boy and His Dog 
Will you tell me if I can keep a dog? 
I am 14 years old, and my father is not 
home; he is in town working all the time, 
and my mother and we children are by 
ourselves. We live very far from the 
town—10 miles. My father has no citi¬ 
zen’s papers, and he cannot get them be¬ 
cause he cannot write his name. I would 
like to have one little house dog. My 
father came from Europe, and I was born 
in America. My father has been here in 
America 22 years. He tried to get citi¬ 
zen’s papers, but cannot because of not 
being able to write. We tried to teach 
him to write his name, but he cannot be¬ 
cause he works hard and he shakes his 
hand so much he cannot keep hie pencil 
still. A. H. 
Chester Co., Pa. 
Pennsylvania has a law which pro¬ 
hibits aliens from keeping dogs without 
a special license. There was much 
trouble in some parts of the State from 
the droves of savage, half-fed dogs which 
some alien families kept about them. This 
drastic law seemed necessary to abate 
the nuisance. This hoy has evidently 
heard of the law, and thinks that it de¬ 
prives him of the privilege of keeping a 
dog of his own. After a correspondence 
with the Board of Game Commissioners, 
who have charge of the Pennsylvania dog 
law, we learn from J. B. Truman, Chief 
of the Bureau of Protection, that an ex¬ 
ception has been made in the law to cover 
a case like the one here mentioned : 
“Any child born of alien parents in 
America can legally possess a dog if such 
child io old enough to care for the animal 
in question, and the dog is not under the 
control or used by the alien parents. In 
this connection this department has ruled 
that the child should be at least 13 years 
of age, in order that the dog should not 
be neglected. The license in a case of 
this sort should be taken out in the name 
of the child, and the child must assume 
all responsibility.” 
This will permit our boy friend to keep 
a dog of his own, and we hope he will get 
one that will prove a genuine friend and 
companion all through his boyhood. 
Bad Weather and Chicken 
Habits 
Prof. A. W. Richardson of the New 
Hampshire College says that many chick¬ 
ens have been led by the poor Spring 
weather into the bad habit of staying too 
close to the house. Their faces are likely 
to show dark colored, their droppings 
loose and greenish, their legs pale, and 
they may lost weight rapidly or develop 
lameness. The reasons are too little ex¬ 
ercise and not enough green feed, even 
though acres may be available. The cure 
consists in moving the hoppers of mash 
further away from the house, and feeding 
the scratch grain as far away in the grass 
as they can be induced to go. If the 
trouble still persists, take the mash away 
for 10 days, and feed liberally of milk 
and sparingly of scratch feed for a few 
days, eo that they will go out after the 
scratch feed into the grass. 
Elevator in a Farmhouse 
As usual, I am coming to you for as¬ 
sistance. I live in the usual two-story 
house (a farmer’s wife) in a rural com¬ 
munity ; the usual house, with sleeping 
rooms on second floor, storage attic on 
third, ground floor living room, dining 
room, kitchen; all very convenient, but 
no sleepi -g roams downstairs, and no 
room that can be spared for such purpose. 
Now ill-health has struck me and doctor 
says I simply must not climb stairs. The 
question in my mind is this: Is there any 
feasible way of installing a simple lift or 
elevator in a farmhouse? What would be 
expense? Granting a room could be add¬ 
ed to lower floor, still remains the prob¬ 
lem of care or supervision of upper floors. 
I hope you can assist me in this perplex¬ 
ing problem. MKS. E. H. M.

R. N.-Y.—If there is any sort of ex¬ 
perience which has not come within the 
range of experience covered by our read¬ 
ers, we do not know what it is. We are 
quite sure that some of our farm women 
have been able to master this matter. 
Why should not a farmhouse have such 
conveniences if they are needed—as in 
this case? Who can tell us about it? 
Stomach Worms in Sheep 
Sheep and lambs in many Ohio flocks 
on old pastures are becoming heavily in¬ 
fested with stomach worms, according to 
reports coming to the Ohio Experiment 
Station, the cloudy, rainy weather being 
especially favorable to their development. 
For the removal of these pests, the copper 
sulphate (Milestone or blue vitriol) treat¬ 
ment has proved effective in tests made 
on infested flocks. Two ounces of freshly 
powdered crystals of copper sulphate are 
thoroughly dissolved in one gallon of wa¬ 
ter and administered as follows: For a 
lamb three months old, two-thirds fluid 
ounce or 20 cc.; for a lamb six months 
old twice this amount; for a sheep one 
year old two fluid ounces or GO cc., and 
for a sheep two years old or over three 
fluid ounces. The solution should be pre¬ 
pared in a glass, wooden or earthenware 
vessel and must be kept thoroughly mixed 
while in use. It is important that the 
dose be accurately measured, using a glass 
graduate or graduated drenching bottle. 
In the station tests 89 per cent of the 
stomach worms were removed by the 
treatment. However, in order that it 
may be effective, Mr. Bell says, directions 
must be followed carefully and the sheep 
and lambs kept away from feed and water 
for 18 hours before and six hours after 
treatment. The experiments also show 
that rotation of pastures aids materially 
in reducing infestation. 
Husk Mattresses 
I would like to know how to make a 
husk mattress. P. P. 
All the husk mattresses we have seen 
have been filled right into the tick without 
tying. The soft inner husks are used, 
freed from all bits of cob, and the mat¬ 
tress will be much smoother if the husks 
are torn into strips about half an inch 
wide. The husks must be very well 
dried, and the tick filled generously. The 
inner husks, torn in strips, and worked 
smooth when the tick is laid on the bed, 
make a soft, elastic filling, which may 
easily be replaced when the husks become 
broken. The mattress is handled like a 
feather bed.
