Many bards have sung their lays,
Many poets scribed-iheir muse,
Abour a thousand subjects that cheer
you and ei^iusc;
But of ell the "thousand subjects,
4
lifting hearts and fyirds.that twrvter.
No Fyron, Burns or glib Masonic
writer. »
•Has ever writ in verse the .“Laska
Skeeter.”
Now* I who write am not a famous
poet,
Nor a rhymer, nor a verser, nor a
bard, .
So if the metre* doesn't meet # •
, As I scribe the damn moskeet,
Overlook it ’cause the subject sure is
hard .
As my pencil slowly w’rites,
] can feel their stinging bites
And can hear 'em always buzzing like
a swarm of angry bees;
, S j ..
I am cusfing 'em and damning 'em,
( I am swatting ’em and slamming ’em,
On my. forehead, on niy fingers, on my
knees.
There is netting on the door
And a smudge upon tfre'floor,
And . oil upon the lonely window pane,
But they thrive upon the oil,
And the netting doesn't foil,
While the choking yellow smudge just
burns in vain.
1 have burned a thousand powders N
And have used a hundred dopes,
That were guaranteed to kill 'em and
With his buzz and sting* and bite', •
destroy ,
But in powder and in dope, <,
1 have lost all faith and hope,
'Cause they fill the Laska Skecter
full of joy.
! In the tundra and the rauskeag
| And along the river banks,
! You will fihd the Laska Skeeter with
| his strip’ed hairy shanks,
You will find him always ready;'

There’s big profits in raising poultry for egg production under the
wonderfully successful Alderwood Manor system.
Just beyond the borders o'f the great seaport city of Seattle, the Puget,
Mill Company, since 1853 prominent in the industrial development of
the State of Washington, has founded a great poultry community, known
as Alderwood Manof.
In the center of the 18,000 acre* of ideally. adapted logged-off land, this com
^ pany has built at a cost of $200,000.00 a moet remarkable Demonstration Farm and
Poultry College, where community settlers have the unusual privilege of a free ed
ucation in poultry raising, home gardening, fruit and berry culture. It is through
this free educational system that the Pdfet Mill Company is already rewarded in
seeing hundreds of inexperienced men a^d women achieve rapid success in raising
poultry for eg£ production. . *

You can use a double hekd net,
And a jjair of heavy glbves,
While prospecting 'long the river* and

Other spots are soon selected,
r Which they perforate with drill and
tampered beaks.

They can drill a leather boot,
Or a pair of gubber packs,
And a heavy woolen sock or maybe

Who busses ere he bites,
Busses like a saw a cutting logs,
His damn persistent bussing,
Awakens you of nights,
