THE mackerel season OF the Atlantic coas,
has been very unsatisfactory thus far. The
fish have not "schooled" near the New Eng
land shore as yet, and very few OF them hav4
been taken. The consequence is that Ireland
is shipping great many mackerel to thi,
country, the fish being unusually plentiful
on that coast. The sardine pack is also very
light and altogether ths fishing season is moi
prosperous.

ScabbY Legs.

Many complain of having fowls Of
Aicted with rough or scabby legs.
This is hardly ever seen on poultry In
well kept establishment. Its cause.
/ am satisfied, is from neglected, un-
kept houses, where the platform under
the roost is allowed to get loaded with
droppings several inches deep, and the
floors are never cleaned up or the SOIL
renewed, and too often from the intro
duction of fowls from othcr houses
where it has been allowed to get
foothold, for If not looked after and
stopped at the beginning it will soon
GO through the flock. To be
free from it, the houses must
be kept clean and sweet in
every particular, both by whitewasl-
ing and daily cleaning of the drop
pings from the roost. Rake the ground
over at least once a week, to take up
the accumulation of feathers and MA
nure and bring fresh soil to the sur
face. Saturate the roost with crude
petroleum, and apply the same thor
oughly and often 20 the legs OF the
afflicted fowls DO not keep fowls over
one laying season, unless they are
choice onos for breeding, for they ere
much more liable to get diseases Of
different kinds, especially this one OF
scabby legs. Poultry World.

Ofsetting Ideas.

The English anti-suffrage women
have done a good service by calling out
much comment. The Salem Observer
says; "ln England the cause of woman
suffrage has in some respects made
greater advances than in this country.
lis opponents are in their last ditch, so
TO speak, and the contest for impartial
privileges is well on towards success.
The opponents say: Suffrage should
not be forced upon women" To this
very proper sentiment nearly every
body will agree We certainly do not
know of any advocate of woman suf-
frage who could dissent from it. SUI
frage should not be forced upon women,
neither should it be forced upon men.
In this respect there should be equality
OF exemption as between the sexes.
Suffrage should not be forced upon
women who do not want it. Good.
Now, again, suffrage should not be
withheld from women who do want it.
Good also. One idea is as good as the
other, and both almost exhaust the
subject But not quite, for, after all,
there are political duties as we'll as
rights; and every man ought to be
willing to help u good government by
casting his vote for good men, so won.

share OF their great responsibility. One
of these days they will see it in this
light. -Woman's journal.

Lice Multiply Rapidly.

No matter how clean the poultry
house may be, it is difficult to keep
clear of lice during very warm
weather, and even when the hens are
rid of one kind of lice, they may DO
afflicted with another. This may be
shown by examining the house and the
fowls for the little red mites which
usually crawl on the hands or get on
to the clothing of one entering tho
house. No signs of their presence
may be seen, but lift up the wing OF
the fowl, and large blood-suckers
may be seen running to escape obser-
vation. If the skin of the head and
throat be next examined, another kind
of lice, larger than those under the
wings may be seen. The best safe
guard against these depredators is TO
hold the hen head downward and
thoroughly dust her with fresh Dali
matian insect power, especially unde-
the wings, and then grease her heaa
and neck with melted lard. Cole

Fall Colts and Calves.

For growing stock grass is rec
ognized as one of the cheapest and
best of feeds. Not that it is in all
cases complete food, but during the
growing season it can be used to good
advantage as principal food. And in
the management of the farm stock it is
quite On item TO get the largest amount
of benefit from the grass, either by
pasturing or soiling.
Calves and colts, in the first few
months OF their existence, must de-
pend almost, if not wholly, upon milk.
1t matters little during this time to
them, at least, whether their dams are
pastured upon grass or are fed hay and
grain in the stable, provided the guam
tity and quality are such as to enable
them to furnish full supply of milk.
But when they are ready to wean then
it comes a question of considerable in
terest, as they will grow and develop,
usually, in proportion to the quality
and quantity of the food supplied.
One of the principal advantages in
having the colts aud calves come il
the fall rather than in the spring i:
that by the time they are ready tC
wean in the spring, the grass viii
have made sufficient growth to fur
nish considerable food, and they will
be able to make their first x-months

and grain. In counting the cost ol

period of weaving is usually consideret
the proper time for beginning the ac

In johnson County, Ga, the All-

There is proper limit TO the ex-
ercise of II COW. If the pasture is SO
everlastingly poor that a COW must
travel over ten acres to get enough TO
keep her alive, she is getting too much

The most successful method OF de-
stroying black ant; that infest house
is to pour kerosene down their holes,
which will be found near the house
somewhere. Set it on FIRE, and cover
over all wet pad or old blanket. In
this way a complete colony may be
wiped out.
In putting down carpets if care is
exercised in thoroughly drying the
floors beforehand, the moths will not
be so liable to bother in the house.
When making frosting in warm
weather, sot the whites of the eggs on
ice for short time before using.
No matter how large the spot OF oil,
any carpet or woolen stuff can be
cleaned by applying buckwheat plen-
tifully and faithfully, brushing it into
dust-pan after o short time. and put
ting on fresh until the oil has all dis
appeared.
Every mother knows how difficult it
is to clean the baby's finger-nails. BY
folding some tissue paper into a sharp
point, and when using it calling the
attention of the baby to something
else. this simple task can be easily
performed. The paper is SO soft that
it does not hurt the tender flesh, yet 1t
is sufficiently firm to remove every
particle of dirt.
Lard may be made perfectly sweet
by boiling pared potato in it.
After beating an egg thoroughly in a
bowl, add cup of cold water and use
enough of this to wet your coffee when
making. Keep it in cool place and SO
waste no more egg by drying.
Willow furniture should be scrubbed
well with salt and water, applied with
a nail brush, to clean it. Dry it thor

Cups and saucers stained with tea

be bought for about four cents a

as well us the more costly genuine
jelly, the latter is not in great de.

Kerosene oil should be kept for use
in air-tight closed vessels. A large
quantity is best kept in q well-corked
can, proyided with faucet an inch
o! two from the bottom, so that the
oil can be drawn of as required without
disturbing the sediment which usually
collects on the bottom of the vessel.
The oil for daily use should be kept in 9
small can, kept corked ut the neck anc
spout If either cork be left out for 8
day or two, the oil will burn dull ant
cake on the wick, especially if the
kerosene is kept in q warm place.
If the eggs you have to use for frost

could desire, d pinch of salt will make
them beat stifliy. Boston Budget
