Chlorine gas is often used for driving

To do this, dish of manganese ahd muri-

is heavier than atmospheric air. If there
is communication, the gas will quickly set

DESTROYING RATS ON FARMs.-W Winter
is the time for catching rats, and, if the
number of these vermin are kept down in
winter, they will seldom trouble the far
mer in summer. Every farmer knows
that rats, especially if disturbed about the
barn, take to the fields after corn-Shocking
time, when nearly, or quite all, may be
killed when the shocks are moved, if one
have a well-trained dog. So, also, large
numbers may be killed sometimes under
stacks by taking advantage Of their pc.
culiar habits.
Rats are never found in stacks, shocks
of corn, eorn-cri5s, grauaries. or other
like places. Their homes are in the
ground, under these places, aud, by taking
advantage of this fact, little energy and
tact will easily dislodge and destroy them.
We once had Newfoundland dog, the
best ratter We ever saw. He seemed to
have come to an understanding with a
little Skye .crrivr, by which the little dog
became jackal to the by one. There was
deep ditch aud bank running between
the hoghouse and yard and other farm
buildings, in which the rats took refuge 10
large numbers. The two dogs, with much
noise and barking would run ip and down
the bank, when suddenly, the terrier
would begin digging bard at hole select.

ly short distance off, but actively obser-
want. Pretty soon rat would peep out
Of hole and scud away, only to find it.
self picked up promptly by the Newfound-
land, which always allowed the smaller
dog to finally kill the rat. These two
persistent hunters would thus 90 from one
hidiug-placs to another, but their chiefde'
pendencc was the bank, except during the
summer and early fall, since here was al.
ways dry refuge for the rats.
Poisoning rats is net difficult it the pro
per plan is adopted. 1t is often to go
rats to take poison if il is mixed at frs
with the food placed for them, but if they
| are allowed to eat Of the bait until the,
come fearelessly and regularly, they ma,
then DO poisoned and large numbers o
. rats destroyed. If rats, when poisoned
will be likely to die in some situation
where they may become offensive, the.
, may be baitcd upon large cask, the hea'

and throw the rat into the cask. in whic
sufficient water should be placed to drow

: till the rats come regularly. Then set
to catch and the haul will generally be
good one.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
dccayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
Of fouling the hair with q pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to tho
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
tion of dandruff, which is often so un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found SO desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

Is it Profitable 10 Keep Fowls 2

Among farmers, if the question wa
asked, whether it was really profitable tt
keep fowls, there would be in nearly al
cases this response to tue inquiry thai
fowls, fairly managed, could not fail to b
remuncrative or profitable TO their owners
and to those residing in villages with 4
sufficient amount Of room to keep them
and with the right kind Of management
the same definite aus yer may be made
that fowls arc also profitable, and it is re
ally of sufficient pecuniary advantage fol
all families who can do so to certaiuly
keep them.
The management of fowls should be
materially different when kept 10 the vii
lagc from those kept on the farm for,
while farmers, as general rule, can al.
low the fowls to stroll over large range
of land, aud thus in a natural way keep
them, in villages those who can must uec'
essarily do so in a confined, and conse-
quently somewhat unnatural manner; but
if the fowls are not raised nor kept but
| limited time under the unnatural re-
straints which il is absolutely necessary to
keep them, the injuries resulting from
CONTINENT will not be much, or the risk
of keeping the fowls be serious obsta-
Gle in the way of those who may desire
to keep them. A fresh lot Of pullets
should be obtained of farmers every year
by those who intend to keep fowls in vii
lagos, aud early Matched chickens, if pos
siblc. aud at the end Of year, orjust be-
fore moultiug, these fowls should be in
some rappcr disposed Of, and fresh lot
of pullets purchased and in this way the
following advantages will be gained in the
msthod of keeping fowls: The growth of
pullet will increase it in weight nearly
double the amount when purchased. and
the number Of eggs obtained will be ma
tcrially larger than if kept for more than
year--and it may be safely estimated
by any one in the experience of this way
of keeping fowls that the eggs from them,
and the value of the dressed meat at the
end of the years keeping, will come to
double iu amount of money that has been
invested in food and the outlay in the ill.,
vestment for the puhets.
To say nothing of the value Of the
droppings from the hens, the advantages
of a certainty of always securing good,
rich eggs more than compensatas the keep
or Of fowls. when these same eggs are to
be consumed by family. If they have
been well kept on good variety of food
adapted TO their natures, the certainty Of
fine quality Of snima food is ensured.
A cross between the pure.blooded creole
and the common varieties Of fowls usually
kept is very good kind of pulets to be
obtained by those wishing to keep fowls
on the plan above stated, as they are
thrifty and will be fair in size for dressing.
and will not have much tendency to set
ting lu.

All hail. birthday of the patrons;
All hail! to our order to-day;
From Atlantic unto the Pacific,
We have rushed to the bloodless affray.
0re million, five hundred thousand,
Fill our brave ranks to-day.
All hail to the order Of Patrons;
All hail! All Hail. we say.
We have gathered from every hillside,
We hade rallied from every plain,
And many the victories we've gained us
And many old errors we've slain.
Our helmet, is "hope in the future"
"The sword Of TRUTH" our defence.
We trust lite keen edge, for our freedom;
II will sever our letters immense.

Our faith in justice unbounded,
Our watchword is onward move.
BIZ years has the warfare been raging,
And but one since IRE joined the ranks;
Our success to MS is surprising,
As We move with the brave phalanx.
The missiles aimed at our order,
Pass us all harmlessly by;
And as for attempts to alright US.
They might just as well not try.
Then lei us ne'er be disheartencd;
Let us work while yet it is day.
Grid on our Incompatible armor.
While others stand back in dismay.
Let US feel the true bliss of freedom,
Freedom in grand work, and know
All the glories Of true manhood,
That for all true laborers glow.
The times need thinkers, heroes;
With hammers true as steel,
To strike hard blows for truth and right,
And make oppression knesl.
Their golden hammers of rich thought.
Should echo round the world
Till Ger all men from east to west,
Our banner is uLfurled.
The world needs noble men, and just,
To fight the battles of the time;
Bold leaders, who shall put their trust
In God. and truth sublime.
This is the time for good decds,--
A thought takes wings of fame, and flies.
Along our paths are sown the seeds
OF golden harvests, that will rise.
Then sou the seed of mighty truth,
Nor doubt Almighty power.
Will years less surely bring the oak
Than months the summer flower!
"May it be our great endeavor
To press onward with the best.
Nothing daunted, may we never
Give ourselves moments rest
"Thiuking that the hours will linger
For some noble work undone.
Time with fixed unerring finger
Points us to the setting sum-"
