A Hint to Dairymen.

A Wisconsin dairyman reports hi
experience in this way: When the
keeping OF his cows cost him t2Os
year each, he made no profit on them.
He increased the cost Of feeding to t25
a year and made a profit Of slS.74
each. Increasing the cost still further
to $SS per year. he netted si4.S3 prof.
on each COW, and last year, the feed
costing e43 each, the profit was $6A 80;
the profit increasing much more rap.
idly than the increase in expense
This remarkable increase he does not
attribute wholly to feed. as better care
and better knowledge OF the business
had something to do with it, but the
foundation was better feeding, There
Is food for thought in the figures given
above, and the result warrants expert.

Twenty Useful HInta

In every poultry house:
I. When chicks drobp, and appear
sick without cause. especially in!sum.
mer. look for lice, not the little red
mites but the large gray body lice, on
the heads and necka
2. II you find them, use q few drops
Of grease OF any kind A teaspoonful
Of pennyroyal to o cup Of lard Is ex.
celent
5. Look under the wings for the red
lice, but use only few drops Of the
lard.
I. Never grease the bodies Of chicks
unless lightly. as grease will often kill
them
5. Never use kerosene on chicks, un.
less It be teaspoonful kerosene to a
teacup Of lard, as 1t is irritating.
6. Crude petroleum is always excel
ent and serves as a liniment. but mix
1t with twice its quantity Of lard.
7. Keep the dust bath always ready.
The dry earth or sifted coal aslres.
Add carbonate OF lime, Persian insect
powder or oil Of penuyroyal to the
earth.
8. To rid the house Of ice, sprinkle
coal oil everywhere-foor, walls,
roosts, yards, roof. inside, outside. aud
repeat often. o
g. Dust insect powder In tho feath,
ers, and be sure 1t is fresh and good. =
10. Put insect powder and tobacco
dust into the nests. Never pour grease
into the nests. Clean them out every
week.
II. Even when no lioe may be PRES
ent use the sprinkler OF kerosene at
least once a week; and keep the roosts
always saturated.
~. No matter how clean things may
appear. look for the large lice on the
heads, throats and vents.
IS. Lice abound both In winter and
summer, but more especially in sum-
mer.
IA. One-half the chicks and Young
turkeys die from lice. Chicks tor
turkeys with hen or turkey hens
always have lice (either the mites or
large lice). Remember that.
l5. Carbonate Of lime is the cheapest
powder to use for dusting over the
floors and walls.
Is. Always aim to get the solutions
or powders into the cracks and
crevices.
"a. The easiest and best way TO
white-wash, is with a force pump.
They are now made TO force water
from bucket.
ls. When your chicks have bowel
disease. look for the big lice.
10. No mites need be present where
plenty OF coal oil and carbolic acid
are used.

precautions and remedies frequently.

. A Monster Shin Raft.

Mr.. Hugh r. Robertson is building q
great timber ship, which is to be towed
from Nova Scotia to New York. The
New York Herald says that when COM
pleted her dimensions will be: Total
length over all, 900 feet; width, "a feet !;
depth, SO feet. She will be constructed
of about 25, 900 spruce trees and pieces
of piling, the sticks average thirty-eight
feet in length, running up in size from a
diameter OF six inches at the small end.
The ship has no hold, but her hull is a
solid mass from keel to deck, rounding
up fore and aft, as the boss carpenter
says, Gin regular shlpshape."
The vessel will carry six masses, each
built twelve feet into the hull and fitted
with spring stays and shrouds. She will
be square rugged, with fore and aft try
sails, and will be fitted with wlndlass,
anchors, rudder and full steering gear.
The foremast head and mizzenmast head
will be fitted with crows nests, each
supplied with a powerful, self.feeding
lamp, capable of burning for thirty days,
so that in the event of the craft being
temporarily abandoned at sea she will
give timely warning by night to all ap-
preaching vessels. She will carry crew
of twenty men, for whose accommodation
large house is to be erected on the
deck.
1t is intended to employ powerful
steamer to tow the craft to New York,
with probably smaller steamer as ten
der. and Mr.. Robertson is confident that
the voyage can be accomplished in much
shorter time than if his logs were ar
ranged in the form of raft.

A Blind Mans Remarkable Faculty

Blind Bobby Maxwell, who for nearly
his whole lifetime had worked about
trains aud car yards, was buried q few
days ago, from his home in Philadelphia.
"Bobby" was totally blind, and never
met with the slightest accident, his death
having been natural one.
Maxwell was 81 years of age, and was
first employed as brakeman on the old
Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad.
About thirty two years ago his sight be-
came so bad that he was compelled TO
giveup that branch of railroading and
was put to work in the yard at Kensing-
tou. In short time he tecame totally
blind, but still kept On working. His
regular employment was saving WOOD
for the engines, but he often employed
himself IN assisting his wife, who was a
car cleaner. Maxwell had q happy ia
Guilty OF stepping from one train to an
other and in front and between moving
trains, depending entirely on his sense
of hearing to guide him. This perception
he had cultivated to wonderful degree.
He could readily tell his friends by their
footsteps, and would step out of the way
of an approaching person as readily as if
he had been gifted with perfect sight.

Allipators for Hats.

We have seen birds, frogs, kittens,
rabbits and puppies heads, to say moth
ing of all the mowers there are, all the
kinds of feathers ever worn by any kind
of bird, and fruits as well as grain and
grass, and all the vegetables, from tiny
cucumbers to carrots and cabbages, so
that now it would almost seem as if there
were nothing else in the world that could
be utilized as q new garniture for hats
and bonnets. says Olive Harper in the
Schenectady Star, and yet there is a new
style of trimming which has already cap
tured the female heart and that is baby
alligators. .. .
They are not many so far, but those
who have them are the envied of their
sex. The young alligators which are
used for this style of trimming are from
six to ten inches long and must be the
real thing, stuffed and with bright glass
eyes and arranged so as to appear to be
crawling up the front trimmings of rib
bon bows. Their pretty mouths are
opened wide and they have most en-
gaging expression of innocent mlrth on
their gentle countenances. We have
seen real stuffed lizards before on hats,
but the allgators are now the fascinating
style and add another charm to youth
and beauty.
