PARASITES ON CANARIEs.-Af-
most every one of these household
pets is annoyed with little parasites,
which render them weak by loss of
blood aud nervous irritation. To
get rid Of them we must study THEN,
habits. 1t is q common fact that
these parasites generally feed dur
ing the night, and leave the birds
during the day. If the cages wero
provided with hollow perches, they
will creep into them. and may be
destroyed by boiling water. Ii the
birds like to frequent nest instead
of a perch, make the nest of some
thing that may be dipped OCCASION
ally in boiling water. Half of the
disease Of cage birds is caused by
these almost invisible parasites.
Mounted in glyceriue Jelly, they
form very interesting microscopic
objects.

Fence Posts.

The time is at hand when new
fences are to be built and old ones
repaired; and the most essential
point is to have them last as long as
they can be made to, for it is quite
an item Of cost to overhaul old or
build new fences every four or five
years. To have u new fence that
will last We must have good posts,
for that is the part that gives out
first by rotting off at the surface OF
the soil. Then the fence has to
come down, new posts set, and the
boards replaced. Sixteen years
ago experimental with fences, and
find seasoned oak posts, oiled and
then tarred with boiling coal tar
makes them last the longest. took
green posts that were sawed five
inches square at one end and two
by five inches at the other, and sew
en- feet long. L tarred half as reany
as would build my fence, and tho
other half | put in the ground greeA
with nothing done to them. In five
years after the tarred posts were
nothing but shell under the ground,
all the inside being decayed. Some
Of the other posts were rotted oil,
and some were about half rotten.
Two years after / built another
fence with second oak posts, same
size as the first, giving them all
good coat of oil, and in a few days
after tarred them as | did before
with coal tar, heated in a can made
for the purpose, four feet deep and
large enough TO hold four posts set
on end left them in the boiling tar
about ten minutes, then took them
out and sanded them. And now
after fourteen years not one in ten
needs replacing. | shall not build o
fence for myself requiring posts
without first thoroughly seasoning,
then oiling and then tarring them.
II they are tarred when green the
tar does not penetrate the wood and
in a short time all scale off. When
the wood is seasoned the oil pene-
trates the wood, and the coating OF
coal tar keeps out the moisture.
thereby preserving the wood from
decay.

which young man boasts.

In bad case of gapes give the
chicken pill of camphor about the
size of a garden pea. As soon as
any symptoms are manifested, give
the birds water to drink which has
been strongly impregnated with cam
phor. The treatment seems to ex-
plain itself. The gaps or gaping is
caused by the presence in the wind
pipe Of small red worms. No medi-
cine can reach them unless it does
so in the form of vapor. One hour
after the chicken has swallowed the
pill it smells of camphor. Camphor
is a strong vermifuge, and under the
above treatment the worms die. esd

1t will pay to paint the farm wag.
ons before they are used in the
spring. A cheap grade of ready
mixed paint can be obtained. and
the farmer can easily brush it on.
The cost will be slight, and the wag,
ons will not only be improved in ap,
pearance, but will also last much
longer than they win if the painting
is neglected. 1t is also good plan
to paint the woodwork of plows,
harrows, and cultivators, which are
often left for days or weeks, expos,
ed to the weather.

When clover is wanted to enrich
the soil for a succeeding crop it is
better to let it mature rather than
cut it early. When the clover is
grown for seed tho roots are the
best developed and contain the
most nitrogen. That is the reason
why those farmers who precede
wheat with clover for fertilizer, first
cut crop of clover early and then
allow the second crop to go to seed,
before blowing it in. The roots and
leaves of the clover make most excel
lent fertilizers.
