New Use for Tobacco Stems.


James H. Fry, of Pilatka, Fla, in q
communication to the Poultry Bulletin,
says {: al noticed in your June number
q communication from E. G. Lathrop,
of Syracuse, N. Y, complaining of lice
on his fowls. / have kept poultry for
many years, and some seasons have
been troubled more than others with
lice. 1 don't think I ever saw them
worse than this season. In fact, I have
lost some valuable eggs from the hens
being driven from their nests by lice
also lost two hens from same cause. I
have tried almost everything, and, in a
measure, failed. | could keep the roosts
clean by saturating them with kerosene
oil, but I could not use it with setting
hens. Sulphur, lime, wood ashes, etc,
| tried with very little satisfaction, until
it occurred to me TO use tobacco stems,
mixed with q little hay, and to test it
Thoroughly I removed a hen that was
literally covered with lice, and in a few
days would have had to run. Icleaned
the eggs and put her in a fresh box, and
June IA, I can positively assert
that she came off clean, with seven fine
parfridge-cochins, and not a louise on
her or her chickens"

Limitations In Poultry Keeping.

For a hundred dollars spent in the
purchase and careful keeping of a few
fowls a hundred dollars may be gained
each year. But If this business is sud
denly increased ten times with the OK.
pectation that the profits will be multi
piled proportionately, a failure is sure
70 result-as q rule. We have known
this to be the case many a time and oft.
On the other hand, when the experi-
menter has been content TO feel his wav
cautiously, and, having one successful
colony in operation, TO plant another
without overthrowing that already ex-
listing, he has succeeded and afteFward
again successfully repeated the extern
sion. But We would caution hi read
ers--so many of whom seem 10 think
that If 100 fowls may be kept profta-
bly, that 1000 may also be maintained.
against believing in the possibility of
poultry in large number without an ex-
tended range of clean grass or without
the closest attention, governed by the
greatest skill an9 experience, and with
out every appliance known TO the art
of poultFy-keeping through which the
fowls may be obliged TO conform to the
needed requirements. The instincts of
these birds are keen and strong, and a
pouitry-keeper must have the knowl-
edge, skill and patience to conduct his
business 6 that these instincts are not
INSTRUCTED, but are led, as it were, in
the ways in which they should 60.
Otherwise strife occurs and failure is in
aYitahle. !

Growing Asparagus.

One of the vegetables which every
farm might have at very small trouble
and cost, and yet which is one not Of
ten found in the farmers garden, is as
paragus. It is at the same time one of
the most desirable. 1t is very rare to
find q person who does not like it. 1t
is probable that the reason it is not
more grown is an idea that it is q costly
thing to start. There is some reason
for the prevalence Of this idea. Almost
all the works on gardening would indi-
cate that q great deal of labor and
trouble was necessary to start an aspa-
ragus bed properly. They say that the
earth must be dug up two feet deep,
that load on load of manure must be
Incorporated with the earth and posi-
bly, they will urge the Importance of
some rare and costly fertilizer as an es-
iential ingredient in n proper asparagus
bed.
But all these things are unnecessary.
Any rich garden soil is good for aspara.
gus. 1t need be planted only rs other
things are planted. Some say set the
roots a foot deep, but four inches be-
meath the surface is plenty. 1t is not
we'll to plant them too thick, or the
sprouts will be small. Twenty inches
or two feet apart is a good distance.
Plants n year old, or two if they can
be had, are the best. If one be at a
distance from stores to get roots, seeds
may be sown and the beds made the
next year. These can be sown in rows
like peas.
An asparagus bed once made will last
for years, with no trouble but an annual
manuring and forking over every year,
and one or two hoeings during the sum
mer to keep the bed clear of weeds
but, except on the score of neatness and
cleanliness, this is scarcely necessary
where an annual spring forking over is
giv>n. Almost all other crops have to
be reset and otherwise cared for every
year, while this is an enduring crop !;
and we are quite sure there is nothing
which will give one SO much pleasure
and satisfaction as a good asparagus
bed.

4 Lost Curl.

A Frankfort, Ky, belle lost one Of
her curls Christmas night, and she adj
vertised in the Yeoman the next day, as
she is q very practical girl, and knows
that curls cost money. The local poet
read the advertisement, and, after hay
ing mussed up his own raven t~resses,
wrote this
Was it the ghost of beautiful girl,
Fading away from the SUI,
That out of its binding oY amber and pearl
Lost in the morning a light-brown curl,
just as the night was done?
Lured by the glow of the Christ-night moon
Came she out of her crypt,
To patter the street in her crystal shOon,
Whereth spars of frost like the dews Of June
Lay over the way she tript?
Was it the ghost of a girl that died,
Ripe for the sphere of wife,
just as the bloom of the orange sighed
To hide in the hair of the brown haired bride,
Written and froshen her life?
Whoever shall find it, that light-brown curl,
At the break of the Christ-day lost,
With moon in its amber and frost in it's pearl.
Must go to the grave of a beautiful girl,
And ask for a brown-haired ghost.
If the girl had lost an entire wig, his
poem would have been much longer.

MEDICAL ADvERT1s1EG.-The medical
profession are ~out-spoken in their de-
n%unciation of the system of medical
advertising, and declare that any medi-
cine that is advertised is a fraud. How
thoroughly inconsistent and unfair is
such an argument. The men who are
so loud in their criticisms, are those
who advertise themselves as medical sa-
a n by ostentatious display splendid
residences with massive door plates !;
fast horses and costly carriages. DR.. j.
Walker, of California, an old practi-
toner, respected alike for his skill and
conscientious independence, dares to
differ and having discovered in his
Vinegar Bitters a purely herbalistic
medicine, free from all spirituous pois-
ions, a wonderful specific for numerous
disorders, advertises the same for the
relief of his fe!low-man, and is borne
out in his declarations Of its many ir
tues by thousands of invalids, who are
being cured of disease by its use.
