POULTRY NOTES.

The easiest and best way to keep lice
out of poultry house is to use kerosene
freely It is Gn easy remedy because
easily applied, and it is cheap also.
Keep a record of the poultry receipts
every year, including eggs and meat
used in the family. 1t will not appea,
SO troublesome after little practice.
I Very large fowls have careless way
of putting their feet on eggs and chick
ems that involves danger to profits
Almost every breed has its drawbacks.
Hen manure and ashes should never
be mixed. They injure each other
Muck, road dust or sawdust, can be
mixed with hen manure-ashes should
be distributed alone.
Don't for moment expect permanent
success with poultry unless you attend
to the necessities of the fowls. Perhaps
the most important of all, next to good
feeding at least, is cleanliness.
The feed of poultry should not be so
mixed up with the feed of animals that
no separate account can be kept of it.
Farmers who want the world to respect
them should post themselves as to de-
tails.
Poultry growers who send muddled
accounts of profit and losses to the
papers do not contribute the public s
stock of information. Book keeping is
an art not yet popular with great many
farmers.
Ventilation in poultry house will
pretty much take care of itself if the
house is kept clean. That is the main
thing as to the air. How much ventila-
ton do little chickens get under an old
hen at night?
The poultry "fancier" generally re-
commends most warmly that breed which
brings him the most profit on the sale.
When breed becomes we'll dissent
mated and the prices drop, the best bred
for him is a new one. 1t is well to i'm
prove the breeds, but when the buyers
purse is shallow he wants disinterested
testimony before he wades in to serious
depth.
When rats are troublesome in the barn
or where small chickens are kept at
night, put hen and chickens into four
barrel with one head and swing 1t up to
something overhead by wire. Rats
cannot then get into it, nor can they
gnaw off the wire: Barrels are excellent
for another purpose, which is to keep
the flock where wanted until the mana
ger lets them out.

Astonishing Credulity.

A prominent broker in Wall street,
whose name is withheld at his own re-
quest, upon ex-Surrogate Daily's plea Of
an injury to his business, was married
there to spirit bride by spirit clergy
man. This statement is astounding
enough; but the facts are perfectly well
authenticated. Three years ago young
girl who had been living with the broker
and who has borne him four children but
to whom he was not married, suddenly
died, beseeching him upon her death bed
to legitimatize their children. A few
months ago, several friends of the broker
who were spiritualists, simultaneously re-
ceived messages that . spirit had q COM
munication to make IN him, and he was
at length induced to visit the Sixth ave-
nue. circle. Here the spirit of his dead
love first communicated with him in her
own handwriting, and finally material
lied and held long conferences with
him. He says that he has no doubt
whatever a. to the identity Of the spirit;
that he could not possibly have been de-
luded by any medium. and his subse-
quent conduct certainly proves the
sincerity of his belief During
their conversations he expressed his re-
RTeL Ln6I 10 u6u lAOe uAh0C nOA AAio Wh0s
and she assured him that it was not yet
too late, and that she was ready to be-
come his spirit bride. The choice OF a
clergyman occasioned some discussion,
which was ended most remarkably by
the brides assertion that she had met in
the spirit world the pastor of her girl
hood, the Rev. Mr.. Weatherwell; that he
had urged her to have the ceremony Of
marriage performed, and that he was
perfectly willing 70 ofliciate. This mat
ter being arranged, regular invitations
were issued to the friends Of the parties,
and . wedding actually took place; .
materislizsd bride coming ont from DO

sponses. and the venerable figure of the

within the screen, recitsd the marriage

The Horse OF the Prairie.

A young farmer came galloping over
the prairie to us while we trotted along.
Now, if you have never seen the horse
on the prairie, you have never seen him
at all. He belongs there. Until you
have seen him in his home, you can
never realize how tame picture he
makes curveting in the streets of city,
or prancing through the thronged drives
of park. But out here-the day is full
of sunshine, the air of December is
bracing and pure, and on these pl Tins it
is exhilarating as champagne. AS far out
on the pale brown prairie as you can dis
tinguish objects you can see the moving
speck on the horizon and watch it coming
into clearer view as you SEQ u ship sail
in sight at sea. The figure Of the man
and horse seem one, the motion Of the
easy gallop is regular as music. rising
and falling in perfect cadence. As they
come nearer, the figure OF the horse, per-
feet in outline and graceful in every
movement, the long tossing name, the
easy seat of the rider, riding with straight
knees and long stirrups, and by and by
the muffied fiutter, rather than clatter,
of the hoofs on the turf, and back of and
around all this the background of far
reached prairie dimpling in all shades of
brown, and the setting of sky blue as
turquoise, with the wide, wild sense
of perfect freedom, a universe in
sight. makes picture that you
never want to forget, and never could
forget if you would. We all wanted to
shout as the rider gallopeS up, and, with
CHEEKY "Hello" to our driver went
swinging on. have seen beautiful
saddle horses at Paramount Park, and /
have watched riders in Central Park
pounding their saddles with the trip

school; have seen the flyers" and
their wonderful jockeys, throwing the
miles away like so many seconds in Je-
rome; have seen armies Of cavalry
sweep across the battlefield, while the
ground fairly rocked and trembled under
their charging feet; have watched,
thrilled with excitement, six. gun bat
terry go wheeling and laundering into
position in the very face Of charging
column at time when minutes meant
hours, but never saw the horse when
he seemed 20 much part Of, the land
scape; when all the freedom and beauty
OF earth and and sky seemed to be made
to harmonise with him, his strength and
beauty and grace, until have watched
