WHEN lice once take possession OF a
poultry-hOusc, it is difficult 10 dislodge
them, and m~ethodical means must be
used. First take up the floor and use
the bare ground; tear away every cleat
or other fitting behind which the lice
can harbor; these will be found full Of
young lice and eggs. Then whitewash
the house with hot lime wash. in which
a pound of crude carbolic acid has been
dissolved. DO this thoroughly. Then
smear the roosting-poles with a mkt
ure of grease and kerOsene-Oil so thick
ly that the hens get it upon their feet
and feathers. Keep the roosts thus
covered with grease for a week or ten
days, and in time the lice will disap-
pear. Grease is fatal To all such in
sects, as it closes the breathing pas
sages, which are situated in their sides.
CRAZE JELLY.-Grapes that are too
coarse or acid for table use make very
good jelly. only have them firm,
and ripe. Pick grapes from the
stem, wash them in cold water, drain
the water from them, and put them in
a stone jar; place the jar in a pot of
cold water, and let it boil steadily un-
til the grape skins are loose. Take of
the skins, saving all the juice-the
skins will darken the jell and make it
slightly astringent. Boil the pulps
once again, and pour all into a flannel
bag and squeeze through; measu
your juice and allow a pound of lump
sugar for every pint Of juice. Mix
and boil steadily. but not tOoq quickly,
until it will jcll when You try on a
saucer. Put up in small glasses,
which you wet first in cold water.
Tie up closely and keep in a cool place.
