summer Care Of Poultry.

II ought not to be supposed that fowls
need 10 special care in summer, for in
this season the young are subject to many
diseases which older ones are able to re-
sist. Besides this, insects Of all kinds
abound at this time, OF which the fowls
have their full share, and against such
they should have all the protection pos
sible. Cleanliness in their surroundings
is the important thing, and the best pre-
yentiyc not only Of diseases but of in
sects rs we'll The hen house and roost-
ing places should not only be kept clean,
but should be made untenantable by
fowl yermin By the use of insecticides.
OF these kerosene is one Of the Very best,
and from its very Low price it may be
used in the most liberal manner, either
pure or as an emulsion. Ii used to kill
lice on fowls themselves it should be
highly diluted and applied sparinSly,
and on little chicks rot at all. BY greas-
ing the older ones little with lard un-
der the wings and on the head, and fur
nishinS them with a good place where
they can wallow and dust at will, they
will soon rid themselves of lice if their
runs ard roosts are not infested.

The Western Agriculturist has the
following to say on horse breeding:
Breed for a special class Of horses. No
half way draft horse is large enough to
bring the best prices, besides we have
millions Of little, cheap scrubs and cheap
trotters that can be bought cheaper than
you can raise them. You can sell pair
of good draft horses and buy half a
dozen of them, so we cannot afford to
use the heavy draft team to hack around
with, but farmer who has fine team
of l 600 or / 500 pound grade draft horses
takes a commendable pride in driving
them to town occasionally and have the
dealers offer him s4OO or $500 for them.
Then, too, they can haul Load that is a
load and they can run a big sulkey
plow just as deep as you want it. A
pair Of such mares is fortune to any
farmer to work and to raise more colts of
the same kind.

The domestic remedy for "sou'' stoB.
,cl,1 is soda or salcratus. These agents
are considered harmless, and often,
times quite large doses are taken. The
habit Of taking them or other allialies
after eating is a questionable one. The
digestive Ingredient Of the gastric juice
is active Only in the presence Of an acid.
Il alkalies are taken into tie stomach
in considerable quantities the acid fluids
therein are neutralized and the natural
consequence is digestion stops for q
sine Experiments made by DR.. Bc'lr-
get, Of France, have demonstrated this
fact. They have also shown that the
use OF pePsin, the once popular remedy
for digestive Disturbances is Of little
value Instead Of using soda or other
alkalies in sour stomach, it is best to
drink hot water, or to take five or ten
drops of diluted !ydrocllloric acid in a
wine glass of water. Both of these
stimulate the mucous membrane Of the
stomach and prevent the formation o.
troublesome acids.-Philadelplia REQ

Oil ,;ea! for Swine

Oil meal fed literally to hogs keeps
their bowels open and keeps them
healthy. Western Agriculturist reports
a farmer in Iowa who lost fifteer logs by
cholera, when he got some oil meal and
fed it freely and lost no more hogs. Oil
meal is good feed for any stock, and es-
pecially for hogs fed on corn until they
become feyerish ana constipated and an
easy prey to the cholera. Roots and a
variety of food are desirable for hogs.
