Look Out for Vermin.

1t is now time to look out for the small
vermin that annoy the fowls and larger

In poor condition all through the winter.
1t was said years ago that onions were dis
tasteful to all kinds of lice and modern
experience confirms it, To keep a supply
of this odorous vegetable on hand for this
use is desirable If the water in which
they have been boiled is used to sponge

A METEOR MONTH,
August and November Remarkable for
their Heavenly Showers

New York Times: November and Au-
gust are the two months of the year when
meteors are the most frequent. 1t has
been supposed that the entire solar system
is traversed by innumerable streams of
meteors, probably varying in dimensions
from the size of peas to that of baseballs,
though some falls are recorded of meteors
nearly ton in weight. The number of
these small bodies that cross the earth s
orbit must be enormous, for it has been
calculated that 1000 600 enter the earth S
Jtmos phere every twentyfour hours. Yet
the earth cannot encounter more than one
meteor stream for each of the many mill.
ions whose orbit must pass above or below
he place Of the terrestrial orbit. But de-
spite these enormous numbers it is calcu-
lated that the average number of meteors
is less that one per million cubic inches of
space, so that if they were equally dis
tributed The mean distance between each
meteor would be over 100 miles.

FARM NOTES.
a dvantage of Fall Flowing

It is better to pillow under all green mat
ter before frost than to allow it to die and
dry. Green manure decomposes easily,
but plants that have become dry some
times remain in the ground long time
before decomposing. 1t is also much bet
ter to pillow in the fall if the land is heavy,
in order to allow the frost to assist in
pulyerizing the soil
