may be forever. If this truth we're but
burnt into our consciousness, and If ruled
as a deep conviction and real power in
our lives, would it not give a new mean
ing to our human relationships Would
it not make us far more tender than we
sometimes are Would it not often
times put a rein upon our rash and i'm
petuous speech ? Would we carry in
our hearts the miserable suspicious and
iealousies that now so often embitter the
fountains of our lives ? Would we be
so impatient of the faults of others ?
Would we allow trivial misunderstood
ings to build up a wall between US and
those who ought to stand very close to
us P Would we keep alive petty quar-
rels year after year. which a manly word
any day would compose Would we
pass old friends or neighbors OIL the
street withou, recognition. because of
some real or fancied slight. some wound

GAs-TAR VS. Poultry LlCE.-A short
time ago my poultry house was swarm
ing with lice; it could not be entered
without having the clothing gray with
insects wherever one touched the roosts.
If a hen brushed my hand with her wing
dozens of lice could be seen running
over it. Indeed so desperate did affairs
become .bat even looking at the poultry
house produced a sensation of crawling
things. Swabbing the roosts and sprink
ling the nests with kerosene bad 10 per-
ceptible effect. Fumigating with gas-tar
and sulphur met with no better success.
The youngest broods of chickens grew
weak, moped around for u time,
and FINALLY died. Some of the hens also
gave evident signs of weakness, and their
combs turned a sickly color. AT this
stage of affairs, | applied for a remedy
to a friend noted in ponltry-raising as
well as in other things prof. j. b. Tur'
ner). learned that twenty years before
he had painted the inside Of his poultry
house with gas-tar, and. although keep
ing constantly a large number of fowls,
had not been troubled with lice since. |
got a few quarts of gas-tar from the
gas works, at the rate of ten cents per
gallon. This tar is about the consistency
of new paint, and was readily applied TO
the inside walls of my hen housewife
an old whisk broom-as high up as the
roosts extended; The inside of the nests
and roosts were also thoroughly coated
with the tar. This was done on the morn
ing Of a clear day, ard by night the
house was dry enough for the chickens
to roost in it. Before the tar was ap.
piled the old nesting was removed, and
the floor, which is Of dirt, was well
scraped and s~prinkled with wood ashes.
The chickens began to improve from that
time forth, and in less than TWO weeks
not au insect pest was to be found about
the house or cnickens.-N Y. Tribune.

Corn MEAL AND BRAN.-Mr. j. w.
Sanborn, superintendent of the college
farm, Hanover. N. H., reports expert
ments in feeding cows, giving full details
of weights of each kind of feed, of milk
and butter yield, and the weights OF tine
animals at the beginning and end OF
each period. In summing up he says:
..Meal will make more milk than bran,
| no longer hesitate to say. The change
in the butter product is remarkabie; IN
changing from meal to bran there was a
loss of III per cent in the butter pro-
ducing capacity of milk; IN changing
from bran to meal there was a gaia IN
the butter producing capacity OF milk OF
81 8 per cent. There is a substantial
agreement in The two changes, for 1t 10 a
