Many woman and child have been
sacrificed to save the carpets and keep
out the flies. Many fit of illness has
resulted from the same cause. Many
disappointed, cherries life can be traced
back TO sunless rooms as beginning.
Multitudes of women and children are
only half living to-day because only half
fed. Sunshine and light and air are as
much food for body and soul as the fruits
and grains and vegetables that we take
into our stomachs. and we cannot get
surfeit of them as food. The more we
have the better.
A writer in the Farming World on the
subject of breeding for sex in poultry
says: Having seen some discussion
about the shape OF eggs to determine
the sex, can say from experience that
to obtain he desired result, or FREEDOM
inatiOn, of either sex, you have TO mate
your fowls aS follows: For cOckerels,
mate a One-year-old cOckerel with hens
not more than two years old, and you
viii get the desired results. For breed
ing pulletS mate q three-year-old cock
with one-year-old hens. have never
had any exception to this rule.
Fruit in loaded tin cans is being sold
all over the country, and IS the cause OF
numerous cases of poisoning. Apracti-
cal timer lately sent the following warn
ing to an exchange: when buying
fruit cans see that they are not made of
roofing tin, which is coated with lead
and is slow but sure to poison. They
should be made of bright tin, which is
ha rmless pro yiding the fruit IS emptied
out of the cans as soon as opened. The
difference will be easily told, as loaded
tin looks like FURNISHED silver. One Is
poisonous, the other is harmless"
To free canaries and other cage birds
from the insects which infest themS the
following method is recommended by
one who has successfully practiced 1t
for years: Every night just at dusk
the cage or aviary is covered with a
white cloth. During the night para
sites will crawl from off the birds on to
theEclOth, where they may be seen run
ming about when the cloth Is removed
at daybreak. The insects may be killed
by putting the cloth INTO boiling water.
A repetition of the process will soon
clear away the pests without iniuring
the birds. Insect powders will no doubt

you will spend.-Er.
An experienced Montana stockman
says he has cleared his range of the pest
in the following manner. His men TAX
the entrails of dead steer and fasten
ing them under wagon or to the pom
mel of saddle, drag them about owe
the range, at the same time scattering
bits of meat that have been well poisoned
with preparation of one-third strych

in prowling about strike these trails
follow them up and their carcaSSes ar
found near by the next day.
EntrailS are also placed in the brSnche
of trees and around the ground unde
them anise oil is dropped in small guam

cases as a penalty for their curiosity.
A Dutch scientist, DR.. Beijerinck, Ia

the tree. The disease is produced by
, highly organized fungus, whose actiO
causes the formation of the gum, and
: is quickly reproduced in sound tree
, when they are inoculated with pieces c
the gum containing any of the fungi!
This knowledge of the nature OF gur
