a home should have garden OF some
Ira attached to it. However poor the
hl NAV be, little plot of garden in
s.ort of ii, where something pretty is
icing. where green vines are climbing
ssnrard into the nlight-where birds
safd bees and children love to gather, and
he nasser-by pauses to look with interest
nd nIeasure-gives it far more home
i;La and attractive aspect than ii can
otberwise have. Many an ordinary house,
nth q well-kept and tastefully-arranged
,rarden presents far more pleasing and
st,ractive appearance than much costlier
,,,ansion whose bare walls have no yarie-
.-s,ed setting of natural beauty to give
eeomnleteness to the picture. 1t is sur
nris;ac how much few flowers set in the
Ppindow add to the cheerfulness of the
room they adorn, and the home likeness
~ the house as seen from the street. A
few honeysuckles or woodbines trailing
over an arbor or along house wall alter
the aspect of the place at once, and create
an impression favorable to its inmates.
Lice are the bane of poultry in the sum-
mer season. Young chicks and old fowls
nine and die miserably in thousands from
This cause. Grease is sure remedy
acainst these yermin. A mixture of one
Ieum with four ounces of fresh lard or
sweet oil should be rubbed on the heads
and beneath the wings of the fowls and
chicks. either as cure or preventive.
The same should be smeared over the
roosting poles, carefully filling all cracks
with it. If setting hen is allowed to be-
come infested, her nest should be changed,
the eggs dipped in tepid water and
washed, and replaced in fresh, clean
nest. There ism better material for nests
than fine earth or shavings. Some tansy
placed in the nest will help to keep lice
away The hen may be washed in warm
carbolic soap-suds, and then allowed to
dust herself In fine, dry, clean earth The
new nest should be exactly similar to the
old one, and if the change is made when
the hen leaves the nest to feed, and near
evening, she will go on to it without hest
tation. Cleanliness, dryness, variety OF
food and pure water in plenty will all help
to keep poultry in perfect health during
the warm weather-Amertcaa Agrtcntt-
