SULPHUR. LARD AND KEROSENE.

Sulphur is advocated as lice destroyer.
It is recommended to use the flowers Of
sulphur to dust the hens with or put ir
their dust bath, claiming that the heat
from the body generates gas which kills
the lice. 1t is accepted by nearly every
body that this is a 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 a folly. If you
wish to use sulphur in any form give it
in dry weather internally, and only exter-
nally for scurvy leg. To kill lice
effectually, several remedies may be re-
st6rted to. Lard to which is added about
one-third kerosene oil well mixed to-
gether and applied lightly under the
wings, behind the comb and around the
vent, will usually dissipate vermin. In.
sect 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
manner with gratifying results: Take
five cent bar of soap, shave it fine, dissolve
it in enough boiling water to make it
thick, stir in pint of kerosene oil and
add boiling water slowly, stirring 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 we'll into the
feathers, rub them down and keep them
confined in 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 red lice which will reduce a
flock about as quick as disease if they get
the upper hand, but are more easily dis
posed of. Completely cover the roost
poles with pure kerosene oil and they will
never trouble you any Orange

soMEp SORGHUM A pELusIoN.

Some journals, especially at the West,
are urging that sorghum be sown broad
cast for fodder, as corn sometimes is.
Time was, when new soil was free from
weeds, sowed fodder would not be prema-
turely chokcd out. But of late Western
lands cultivated few years become even
more weedy than well-tilled lands at the
East. The Western farmer cultivating
large areas grows the big kinds of corn,
avowedly because they sooner outgrow
the weeds, and thus need not be cult
waited so late. The consequence is that
weed seeds ripen by the million. Sorghum
seed is small. Its first growth is much
slower than corn. About midsummer it
shoots forward rapidly, and will then out
grow corn, and be especially valuable in
time of draught, as its roots run deeply.
But it needs cultivation, if not hoeing,
early in the season or before midsummer,
OF it will be choked out by weeds. An
other reason for cultivation is to insure
space for the leaves to reach the sunlight.
Crowded together as it is apt to be when
sown, even if not overgrown with weeds,
the sorghum is not sweet. Its stalk is
hard to be crushed, and is filled with g
poor, watery juice of but little value fol
feeding, and none whatever for the sugar
manufacturers.-Bo CaltirGtor.

REDUCING A HORSES sPRAIN.

To reduce inflammation caused by a
strain or bruise on horse there is nothing
better than cold water in summer, but in
winter warm lamentations are used in
stead. After the inflammation subsidies
and soreness has in part disappeared, the
application of liniments may be resorted
to with benefit. But no caustic, heating
or irritating solutions should be employed
until the Inflammation in the injured parts
has been reduced with either cold or warm
water. For garget in cows at this season
Use cold water freely, even to covering or
inclosing the udder in rubber bag filled
with water.-MeW York Sun.

A correspondent of a French paper
hints at very tragical use to which the
Eiffel tower in Paris may, and doubtless
will, be put. Intending suicides, he says,
will avail themselves of it, and make it
handy substitute for the Column Ven
dome, which, it will be remembered, was
largely patronized for this dread purpose
of suicide. But, added to this, comes
another rehection-the effect of the dizzy
height upon ordinarily sane people. 1t is
well known to doctors that great height
induces an extreme form of giddiness In
people, and from that to throwing them
selves over is only step.

COLTS PAY HANDSOMELY.

There is more money to be made from
colts, whether of the horse or mule kind,
than from any other farm animal. A
three-year-old colt will cost no more for
feeding than three -year-old steer, but
it will frequently sell for twenty-five or
thirty cents per pound of live weight
against two to four cents per pound for
The steer. So that it is well worth the
cost to rear colt well. This is the
season when the colts are arriving, and
the condition of the mare is the first
thing to think of. She must be well fed
and kept in thrift and health. Overwork
is to be carefully avoided; fretting is to
be prevented by kind treatment and con-
sideration for her lactiferous condition.
And the colts should be equally well
looked after. A run in grass field with
the dam and a months rest and good
feeding, with bran and oats for the latter,
will be the making of the young thing
until it is able to eat a little bran and a
few of the sweetest oats newly thrashed
for it. After that the food may be
gradually increased and that of the mare
kept up to supply full yield of milk.
Exposure to hot sun or cold rains is to
be equally avoided for the sake of the
colt.-Neao York Times.

Says the New York Times "The boor
has passed out of agriculture. Hodge
rests in peace after his warfare with a
hard world. The 'clodhopper' is seen no
more, and instead of these ancient char
acters one may find educated and intelh-
gent men-and women at times-riding
on the sulky plow, on the harrow, on the
mower, in the pleasant bayfield, and among
the sweet clover, or on the reaper among
the rustling sheaves, while the woman,
fair-skinned and with gloved hands, may
be in the garden talking agreeable eXer-
else after their household duties are per-
formed for the hour and the creamery or
the cheese factory relieves them from
their former onerous share of the farm
work. Where this is not found it is be-
cause of some remnant of the olden time
or where some young couple, without
capital, are starting on the pathway OF
life making a saving through their own
industry and self-chosen hard work a
comfortable competence for their future. .

One of the most interesting documents

64,O94 were males, and 1885 were
females. There were fewer Chinese

foreigners was among Germans, Italians
and Russians. OF these between twenty
and thirty Jears of age there were nearly
$4,000, but more than $500 we're over
fifty years of age. OF the total number
arrested 5000 and over were unmarried,
and more than 1000 had no education.
The arrests included 81 actors, S5 artists,
13 actresses, 1 author, 1917 bartenders,
80 boarding house keepers, 11S book
