A CLEAN POULTRY HOUSE.

Cleanliness in the poultry house is
one of the most essential points in
poultry raising. A large majority Of
the diseases to which the feathered
race is subject, may be traced direct
ly to a filthy, disordered condition of
the poultry house. Filth is the boon
companion of lice, and where one is
seen the other is sure to be present,
and it naturally follows that when
filth is rigidly avoided little trouble
is encountered with lice.
1t is an excellet plan to take a small
pail of diluted carbonic acid, and go
through the hen house occasionally,
scattering this eradicator of vermin
everywhere, in the nests, on the floor,
over the walls and perches, and in
fact in every place frequented by the
fowls. Not only will this have most
desirable cleansing effect, but it will
also tend to purify the atmosphere
and exterminate the germs of disease
which may invade the house.
There is nothing, absolutely moth
ing, of more importance to the health
and comfort of the fowls than cleanli-
ness. The food may be ample and the
surroundings all that could be desir-
ed, but the presence of dirt and filth
is tore-runner OF disease and death,
and consequently should be strictly
avoided.
Every poultry man should give his
poultry house thorough whitewash-
ing at least twice year. By this |
do not mean a daub here and there,
but good thorough whitewashing.
Don't show any Partially in the work.
Fill every crack and corner, and if
the first time don't make 1t perfect,
give it second coat. In preparing
the wash, if possible, secure fresh
lime, and it is good plan to put an
ounce or two of pure carbolic acid
into each pailful used. A handful of
powdered sulphur may also be thrown
in, although it is not necessary.
During the summer months the lit
ter that collects in the hen house
should be thrown out twice a week
and the floor sprinkled with fine sand
coal ashes or air Stacked lime.

A reliable farmer, writing to an
agricultural journal, says if you bore
quarter-of-an inch hole into the
heart of a tree th't is infected and
inject as much dry, common sulphur
as possible then insert a short plug
to keep the sulphur in place, it will
cue blight, make the tree strong
and healthy and in no way injure it.
This is very valuable boon to fruit
growers, as the sulphur goes through
all parts of the tree, being absorbed
from the heart and makes it good
healthy color. The writer saw trees
nearly dead from some kind OF an
insect, that were living and had a
beautiful, green appearance after be-
ing treated as above. This is one of
the most valuable discoveries of the
age to fruit growers, and we present
it for the benefit Of our readers.

Who would think of calling deaf
men by beating a drum? Yet this
is exactly what is done in the insti-
tute tor the deaf and dumb at Flint,
Michigan. With the drum resting
on the floor and beaten ia the usual
way, everybody in the building is
awakened in the morning. 1t is also
used to call bows from the play
grounds. The teachers state that
those who cannot hear at all feel the
vibrations and answer the summons.

Hebrew Holidays in September.

With the sunset of Wednesday next,
the 5;h of September, the Israelites all
over the world will celebrate the eve of
their New Years Day Of the year 5649.
All Hebrews keep holy that day, which is
called Rosh Hoshanah. While the ''adyanc
ed'' syEagogues keep only that one day, the
orthodox syDagogues observe two days
Thursday and Friday.
Saturday, the Sth inst, will be an i'm
portant Sabbath, and is called 1.-The Sab
bath of Repentance Ga the following
day, Sunday, the stricter Israelites keep
the fast of Gedaliah from sunrise to sun
set.
Friday evening, the 14th inst, will be
the eve of the great Day of Atonement,
called Yom Hakippurim. The day is
strictly observed with fasting from sunset
until Saturdays sunset.
On Wednesday, the 10Th inst. the Festi-
val of Booths, or Succoth, commences,
lasting seven days, but the advanced syna-
gogues observe only the Gosh and the clos
ing festival, on September q. The ortho-
dox synagogues observe September 20, 81,
q and %.
The 26.h day of September is called
Hoshanah Rabbah, the feast of the Will
low. On the Sabbath of the 295h COM
mences the new cycles of the reading of
the Pentateuch. and the difference be-
tween the orthodox and the advanced
Israe1ites is also shown in the fact that
while the five books of Moses are read by
orthodox congregations during the period
of one year, the advanced congregations
read only one-third a year or the entire
Pentateuch in cycle of three years.
The year 5649 will be a leap year, the
synagogue will observe thirteen months
instead of twelve, and the New Year of
$3.50 will commence on Monday, Septem-

God that we are fellow citizens: that after
the many days of separation, the strife of
war, the darkness of reconstruction, I'VE are
still fellow-citizens, great applause.) And
the lesson 1 want to impress upon you is
that this is your country. your govern
ment, as it is mine, and that the best way
to show your interest in it is to send your
best men to represent you in its govern
ment. There is nowhere else in the world
that man can get up in an assemblage of
the people and say to them truthfully, this
is uoar government. Here, after all that
has passed, the people own this govern
ment, and I ask you people of the South
to teach your children that their highest
duty is to love and protect this American
Republic. the American Union, great ap-
plause.l We are people more powerful
than kings I have just been going over
some Revolutionary ground in North
Carolina and saw some of the old battle
fields-King's Mountain and others, the
old landmarks of your patriotism and your
love of country. You should help to make
this country great. There is no other
people that has been equal to you in this
great respect--that you have been true in
war and great in defeat. Why should any
man with a stake in your State desire the
Republican party to succeed ask it not
in hostility, but in kindness of Republi-
cans. if any are here; what do you desire
to accomplish through the Republican
party2 Judge Harris spoke of the tran
guilty of the country under Cleveland,
and yet it has not been very long since
the csrpet-bag governments in the South
were the scandal of the age-a carnival of
corruption and robbery, the like of which
