How to Get Rid of Fleas.

Some years ago my stable and lot "a
small one) attached thereto, become
perfectly alive with these terrible pests
After visit to the stable, it was no I'M
common experience to catch from off
my clothes dozen or more OF the
jumpers, to say nothing of the numer-
GUS others which escaped and finally
took refuge and comfort by giving
''fits'' to the female members of the
family. Finally, in a fit of desperation,
and just after having purchased five
gallon can of coal oil, the idea struck
me that it would be advisable to give
them dose of that, and l Immediately
acted upon what l now consider a
heaven-born idea. took common
flower sprinkler holding about gallon
and filled it full OF oil. and then went
over the ground in rapid manner,
but letting the oil come freely. l then
gave the stable floor, and the sides for
about three feet therefrom. a liberal
dose. Since that time we have never
been troubled, and / think those feas
who escaped the ''deluge" must moi
only have taken French leave" but
also left word for future generations to
steer clear of the entire premises

Narrow tucks very close together in

dies delaine dresses and sometimes
edge their wing draperies.
There are now three distinct styles
of tailor-made costumes which seem to
be equally favosed, viz, the Empire,
English and Directoire.
There are two distinct styles of walk
ing jackets, both equally popular-the
close fitting jacket, which is much like
an ordinary corsage, and that with
loose, open fronts, and perfectly fitted
vest.
Trains when worn with lace dresses
should be very soft, to follow every
motion of the wearer. They are merely
faced with silk, and the foundation
skirt at the back is only of walking
length and is made of muslin with lace
flounces--N. Y. World.

DRESS REFORM NOTES.
Shoulders Are the Natural and the Prope
Support for Heavy Skirts.


Support for Heavy Skirts.
1t is paradoxical to say that a
healthy. rosy-cheeked young lady, a
graduate of Oxford. England, and
speaking French and German huently,
is interested in dress reform among her
own sex but it is true. Miss Hester
Garrett does no: propose to lecture or
publish book on the subject; there
fore she consented to give briefly her
idea about it. She says: THE great
desideratum in dress, think, is to
have comfort and beauty Of drapery.
Comfort means health. Well, woman
who wears corset laced SO tightly that
she can scarcely breath, certainly is
not comfortable. Reform begins when
the corset is banished. Women have
many petticoats, and they are all fas-
tened around the waist. Now that is
great strain on the waist, and must
necessarily stop the free circulation OF
blood. We must dress from the
shoulder; that is, make the shoulders.
which are natural props, sustain the
weight of the skirts instead of the
waist. Mrs. Jenness Miller is pro-
ceeding in the right direction, but she
has no skirts, save the one outward
drapery, and many very slender
women do not care to be draped as
meagerly. Mrs. Fletcher is another
woman who is going ahead in prac-
teal manner, and advocates the dress
ing from the shoulder theory. 1 say
theory. She has proven that it is
highly practical and many women bless
her to-day. Instead of a corset a waist
is worn with shoulder straps to sustain
it. The petticoats are buttoned on
this waist just little below the belt
line, throwing the entire weight of the
lower garments on the shoulders,
where it should be. 1t makes no diff
ference how many skirts are worn, no
discomfort is experienced because the
waist, shaped somewhat like corset,
throws all the weight upon the Shout
ders. l believe this waist is patented,
just like certain styles of corsets.
consider the question from a hygienic
standpoint merely, and, unlike many
doctors who do not like to swallow
their own pills, wear this waist my
self and attribute my excellent health
to the comfort and physical freedom it
gives me. N. Y. Mail and Express.

"SCAB" IN SHEEP.
How to Treat the Disease-Tobacco and
Sulphur Dip.

Sulphur AS Dip.
What is called "scab'' in sheep is a
cutancous disease, closely allied to
mango in horses and itch in men, for
in all three the soreness and iniamma-
ton of the skin are due to the presence
of minute parasitic mite, usually
called an acarus, which burrows in the
skin, loosening the hairs or wool. II
one of the female acari is placed on the
wool of healthy sheep she will quickly
crawl down to the root OF it and bury
herself in the skin. These female
acari bring forth from eight to fifteen
young at litter, and these spread over
the animal, and wherever they find
Judgment make small sores and cause
the wool to drop out. Old and I'M
healthy sheep are first attacked and
suffer most, but if the disease is neg
lected it will spread to the most healthy
and vigorous, and even young lambs
will sooner or later become affected.
The best and cheapest treatment for
this disease is to dip the entire flock,
lambs as well as the old and fully
grown, in some kind of liquid that will
soften the scab and poison the mites.
The dipping should be done as soon as
the sheep are sheared in spring. for at
this time the liquid will readily reach
every part and destroy the mites. The
most common and perhaps best sheep
dip in use consists of tobacco and sui
phur in the proportions of four ounces
of tobacco and one of sulphur to one
gallon of water. If large flock of
sheep are to be dipped, then kettles of
sufficient capacity must be provided to
heat the liquid, and also tank or box
large enough to admit the entire body
of the largest sheep. The tobacco
strength is extracted, and the sulphur
then stirred in. The liquid should then
be poured into the dipping vat and it's
temperature reduced to about 1909,
when it is ready for use. Each animal
should be entirely immersed except the
eyes and mouth, then lifted out care
fully and held on a platform for few
minutes for the liquid to drain off and
run back into the tank. By using
tobacco stems the cost OF the dipping
liquid will be greatly reduced, and still
be equally as effective as one made Of
better quality of tobacco. The cost
of dipping large flock will not exceed
five cents per head. and the gain in the
growth of wool, health, and comfort of
the sheep will far exceed the cost of
this operation. Sheep ticks and other
vermin infesting sheep will also be de-
stroyed by the tobacco and sulphur.
In Europe arsenic, spirits of turpentine
and other poisons are used in making
what are called ''sheep Dips" but to-
bacco and sulphur are equally effica-
cious, and harmless to those who are
obliged to handle it as well as to the
sheep.-N. Y. Sun.

proud for having won a great victory

not forgive him for Dragging OF the
house he has built for himself, or the
cellar he has stocked with choice
wines, or his cook, or his stud, or his
wife's diamonds, or his lucky invest

painter, the poet or the philosopher,
for his pride in his own work, because
we don't care a straw who paints pict-

INSECTS ON POULTRY.
Several Applications Which Arc Said to
Destroy Lice EHoctually.

Sulphur is advocated as a lice-de-
stroyer. 1t is recommended to use the
flower of sulphur to dust the hens
with or put into their dust bath. claim
ing that the heat from the body gener-
ated gas which kills the lice. 1t is
accepted by nearly every body that this
is fact, yet it is an erroneous idea.
The fact of the heat from the
body generating gas is absurd,
and for killing lice it is folly. If
you wish to use sulphur in any form,
give it in dry weather internally, and
only externally for scurvy leg. To
kill lice effectually q speak of the
large grey body-lice), several remedies
may be resorted to. Lard, to which is
added about one-third kerosene oil
well mixed together and applied lightly
under the wings, behind the comb,
and around the vent, will usually dis
sipate vermin. Insect powder is very
good and sure, but costly. Kerosene
oil is sure death to lice, but in its raw
state would be too irritating to the
flesh of the hen, and l conceived the
idea of using it in the following man
ner with gratifying results: Take a
five cent bar of soap. shave it fine. dis
solve in enough boiling water to
make it thick, stir in a pint of kerosene
oil and add boiling water slowly, STIR
ring quickly so the oil will not float on
top. Let it cool down to blood heat.
Now take your fowl and hold it in the
mixture, head out, with your hand rub
it well into the feathers, rub them
down and keep them confined in a
warm place. DO this on a dry, warm
day. and it won't hurt them as much
as being out in the rain all day. am
as afraid of lice as roup, canker,
swelled head or cholera. The other
pest is the small reg lice, which will
reduce q flock about as quick as disease
if they get the upper hand, but are
more easily disposed of. Completely
cover the roost poles with pure kero-
sene oil and they will never trouble
you any more.-Orange County Farmer.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

Land poor and poor land are evils
to be avoided. Plownan.
1T is better to kill one or two of the
young pigs than to allow the SOW to
attempt to provide milk for O. large
litter.
Milk is much better food for
poultry during the summer than corn.
Corn is heating and fattening, two
conditions that, as rule, ought to be
avoided, unless feeding for the market.
No farm is complete unless it con-
tains orchards. Not only should the
apple be given place but all other va
rieties of fruit. The small fruits should
be grown especially for family use, and
a large supply of all kinds should be
canned for winter.
"A green-pea omelet can be made
with four eggs and half a pint Of boiled
green peas or canned peas, poured in'
side the omelet before it is folded. Az
paragus may be used in the same way.
Only the green ends should be used
after they are boiled, drained and
seasoned.
The best tonic for fowls in the
drinking water is ten drops tincture of
iron in gallon of water. Once a
week teaspoonful of tincture of cam
phor is excellent if the fowls are de-
DIIttated. If the flock is in good con-
dition nothing but pure, fresh water
need be allowed, along with variety
OF food.
"A splendid substitute for brush for
peas or pole beans is made by driving
strong stakes about twelve feet apart
in the row, leaving them thirty inches
high and fastening a smooth fencing
wire along the tops and another within
six inches of the ground. Wrapping
Irvine is then passed back and forth be-
tween the wires. The stakes and wire
cost but little, are easily put away, and
will last for years.
BY feeding one kind Of soft food
too continuously, to the exclusion Of
raw grain entirely, some poultry
keepers have gotten their focks into
an unhealthy condition, and conclud-
ing that soft food is the cause of it. de-
eide to discard it's use altogether.
Either extreme is to be avoided. 1t is
q bad plan to lay down strict undevia-
ting rules about many things; in feed
ing fowls one must be governed to a
great degree by the state of the weather
and its temperature.
In whipping cream there are sew
eral precautions to be taken. While
cream will not whip if either too thick
or too thin, cream should be perfectly
cold to whip. Many persons use an
egg beaten, but the froth made in this
way is apt to be lumpy. The best churn
has single dasher. To whip easily,
set the churn little inclined and use
very short strokes, with the force in
the down stroke. A pint of cream
should treble by whipping. Use deep
dish. and as the froth collects skim it
off into dish and set it on ice. When
the quantity of cream is too low to al
low the churn to act, add little milk
and the cream can be reached by the
churn.
