To Destroy Chicken Mites.

Mr.. A. A. Pittuck, poultry editor of
Farm and Ranch, says kerosene emul-
sion is one of the most efficient insect
icides known for use in the poultry yard :.
A friend who has had q large amount of
experience in a small amount of time
with chicken mites, reports that he has
been experimenting with various prepa-
rations, lnclud ing diluted sulphuric
acid, lime, and decoction of tobacco,
and that the mites placed in these sub
stances would come forth from the treat
meut with life and energy I'm abated,
but when the kerosene emulsion was ap-
piled the festive pest proceeded to die.
In his own experience, however, Mr..
Pittuck has found sulphuric acid eu-
tirely effectual. But then, the emul-
sion is entirely good enough, he says,
and it is inexpensive; it is therefore to
be recommended. 1t will also destroy
other insect pests that trouble poultry.
The emulsion is made by cutting up
pound of any plain soap In two gallons
of water, and boiling until a strong suds
10 made, and while still hot stirring in a
pint of kerosene. This can be kept and
diluted with water to any required
strength and applied with watering
pot.
The emulsion should be freely sprink-
led about the hen roost and in nests. 1t
will not injure the fowls, but every mite
that gets any of it on him will be finished
up for all time TO come. In making the
emulsion a mere stirring in of the kero-
seue is not enough-it should be agitated
(churned, as it were) till complete
union OF the oil and soapy wafer is
effected. After this has been secured
there will be no after setting apart of
the ingredients.

never look sleek and clean like the ducks
that were enabled TO enjoy their daily

them than would have been the case with

Roasted Cotton Seed for stock.

Roasted Cotton Seed for Stock.
MIR. G. j. Green, of Toccoa, Ca,
writing to the Florida Farmer ana a
Fruit Grower, says he has been feeding
roasted cotton seed to his stock for d
number of yea-s, and that he is now full
" convinced that the roasting materially
improves the ration. The only trouble
that has confronted him in the case lies
in the difficulty of roasting the seed
cheaply and expeditiously. Once the i'm
portance of the roasting gets to be gen.
orally recognized the inventor will come
to the planter aid no doubt, but when
he does come it must be with some sim
pie contrivance for farm use- He is
quite sure that the planter or farmer
alone must utilize and profit by the roast
ing process; that great Industries could
be built up by requiring great capital
and ponderous machinery simply to roast
the seed, but that they must be roasted
and fed on the plantation where produced
Mr.. Green saws the feeding value of
the seed is certainly much enhanced by
roasting. 1t almost entirely changes the
character of the food. A wonderful diff
ference appears in the relish by stock
and in the taste. Every person ac-
quainted with cotton seed is familiar
tbs raw article. Aside from the laSa-
tive quality of the raw oil, the taste
alone renders them unfit for food. and
the unpleasant taste they impart to milk
or butter forbids their use as food for
milk cows. The roasted seed has
pleasant and agreeable nutty flavor that
everything likes and everything eats the
roasted seed with a relish. The great
heat TO which the seed is subjected in
the roasting process produces chemical
change in the meal and the oil it con-
tains, and the bitter taste and whatever
produces 1t is driven off.
The superiority of roasted seed over
ordinary oil mill meal, argues Mr.. Green,
is readily apparent in any sort of COM
parison; it loses Is per cent. of its weight
in the roasting process, which represents
the moisture il contains, while oil mill
meal shows no such degree of loss IN that
respect. 1t will keep for any length of
time, does not mold, get musty or get
sour. Cotton seed is not the only thing
that needs to be cooked in order to make
it fit to eat, and if Providence designed
that cotton seed should be utilized in that
way, the sooner we find 1t out the better.

VIRGINIA'S BONDED DEBT.
The Matter Soon TO be Settled to Entire satis-
faction-The Plan.

factiOn-The Plan.
Special to the Gazette
New YORK, Juns 20.-The much, liti-
gated bonded debt of the state of Vir-
ginia is likely soon to be adjusted upon q
basis satisfactory to debtors and to for
eign creditors through the agency of
what is called the Cleveland committee.
This is composed of eX-President CIeve-
land, Thomas F. Bayard, Edward j.
Phelps, George S. Cos and George G.
Williams. The American creditors have
sent William L. Bull. president of the
New Y ork stock exchange to represent
them in q conference with the European
creditors abroad, and the two com nit
tees agreed upon general plan of ad-
justment. ''The securities in ques-
tlon, - said President Williams of the
Chemical bank this morning, will be
deposited here with the Gen.
trail trust company. The committee
of reference will thereupon fix
upon basls of payment according to the
terms which the state is able to accede
to, and with reference TO the amounts
which several issues of the bonds cost the
purchasers of them. 1t Is matter of
congratuiation, not only for the parties
Immediately concerned, but for the
credit OF the country at large. This
question has been made a political foot
ball OF until it became disgrace to the
state and United States. Creditors on
both sides of the ocean will no doubt
come to substantial agreement as to
what they ought to receive, and then we
will have to pass upon the relation be-
tween them and the state. The committee
of reference was selected with view to
having statesmen know beyond the sea,
in whom foreigners have confidence, as
well as bankers of prominence here. A
speedy settlement may be expected and
the standing reproach be disposed of. -

THE ADVANCE OF WOMAN

Whether we please to call the move
nent progress or the reverse, and on
both sides there are able advocates, the
fact remains that women occupy very
different position now from that which
they occupied century, or even forty
years ago. 1t has been justly observed
that mech anical discoveries have been
the main factors in this revolution
Numbers of processes which used to be
carried on at home by the hands of the
female members of each family are now
performed in shops and factories. Az
q natural result, many women have had
to follow their work. and, instead 81
earning their livelihood in the homes Of
;.,cir relatives, have been compelled IL
seek employment in tie houses an6
raaer the supervision Of strangers. The
change has wonderfully stimulated theil

face to face with the fact that in many
cases they have no longer, as formerly, a
man to whom they can rightfully look
for home and subsistence. Hence the
notable educational advance Of late
years. 1t may not be too much to infer
that it is not every girl, perhaps not even
the majority, that submits to
the requisite intellectual drudgery
through genuine enthusiasm for learn
ing. The real motive IN many casee,
a highly laudable motive, is to qualify
themselves for various we'll remunerated
employments, especially the profession
of teaching. 1t is only fair to say that
the average "schoolmarm" of the present
day is usually better taught person
age than her predecessor Of genera
ton ago, who, however, attractive her
moral and social qualities might be,
was as regards learning, frequently little
better than smatterer. Whether, as
we have said, we belive the movement
tends in the direction Of progress or
not, we can have no manner Of doubt
that it is inevitable. We can no more
return to the old domestic life Of fifty
or hundred years ago than we can re-
place the spinningjenny by the spinning
wheel. Each phase of existence, we
must believe, has it's own peculiar ex.
cellence, its own peculiar defects. One
consolation, if consolation be needed,
remains. In all its main features. hui
man nature, is conservative. In the old
days when girl graduates we're un-
known, and when the click of the type
writer was still unheard in the land,
