How to Manage Setting Hens.

Mr.. Gilbert in his report very wisely
urges the importance of Kidding the set
ting hens of lice by busting their bodies
and the nets we'll with carboic powder.
Under this arrangement, China eggs are
hrst placed under the hroody hen until she
has proven by setting on thesestwo DAYS
that she is ins.earnest. Then, AMI after
sheshas been treated for vermin genuine
eggs are given her. When a hen is no.
ticed standing on her nest, as if IN dis
tress the trouble is lice. The heat of the
embryo IN the shell and the high
temperature of the hens body tend to
make these PARASITES so active as to be-
come unbearable and, although against
the natural.inslincts, some hens leave their
nests and the hatch is lost. AS matter
of fact, a great many of the so, called dis
eases of poultry may be traced to the pres
ence of lice.

Planting SuuaShrx

There is nothing to be gained by plant
ing squashes early. When planted early
and subjected to cold wet spells the seeds
are more likely to rot in the ground than
TO grow. Should they germinate and sur
vive, their growth will be unsatisfactory.
and plants from later sowings will be
more thrifty and more prolific. The soil
for squashes should be mellow and rich.
Sow plenty of seeds and then thin out to
about three of the best plants to the hill.
The worst enemy of the squash is the
squash vine borer, and | have not yet
found a preventative for the depreda-
tions of this insect. The vines of the
Hubbard squash seem especially liable to
its attacks.

Promises Should be Kent,

Keep your premises. If you agree to
meet somebody at certain time, not only
your word and honor are at stake, but
your integrity also. Be careful in max
ing promises, but, wnen they are once
made, keep them, even if you must go far
out of your way and put yourself to great
always be good as your boud. No man
has right to treat his own promises
lightly, and as though it were only a
slight matter to forget them or neglect
them.

BE Truthful.

Be honest, be truthful, be just. if you
would be happy and useful. The man
who hampers with his character can have
no sure prospects for safety or usefulness.
There is no way by which lie can be
made to succeed in this world. Just 50
certainly as effect follows cause, SO certain
ly will defeat come upon the man who
practices fraud or deception in any way.
If this is not true, the whole universe is
built upon a falsehood,-Wait.

When You Choose a Wife.

Boys, when you choose a wife, look
out for these two or three things: Is her
hair nice, sweet and kissable looking?
How few girls have kissable hair! Are
her dresses neat and nice around the
edges and what about the inside edge of
the white skin? Oh, dear yes; you are
sure to see it some time-when she steps
into car or out of an omnibus. When
she gives you letter to lust post this
for me, - Is it stamped? Oh, but girls are
INSCRIPTIONS about stamps Is she on
time and with gloves on for the theater or
concert to which you take her? How
about the lace in the neck of her dress?
Oh, you want to notice these things when
you think of marrying.

W ashing Pigs,

1t is known that good washing of the
pigs will sometimes cause them to grow
and thrive, especially if they are washed
with strong soapsuds. This is due to the
fact that the pigs are sometimes annoyed
with parasites, or lice, which the suds de-
stroy, thus relieving the pigs and per
hitting them to have more sleep and
ease.

Buckwheat would be a good crop to
SOW in the young orchard, to turn under
for the purpose of building up the per-
manent fertility of the soil. 1t may be
sown after the regular crops are all in the
ground, thus not interfering with the sea-
sons work.
There is loss in keeping chick until it
weighs four pounds and sell for 10 cents
pound, when it could have been sold for
Is cents a pound when weighing two
pounds; the loss is due to extra feed and
care, probable loss from disease and other
causes.
During the summer monts the hogs that
find readiest sale and'command the highest
prices are well-fed young animals that
will weigh from $50 to 200 pounds. On
good pasture they can be brought to this
easily at from six to eight months old
with very little grain, thus giving a much
better profit than larger grain fed hogs.

Torpedoes for Coast Defense.

The torpedo for naval warfare should be
perfected to the highest possible point. be-
cause it makes war the more terrible and
destructive, and consequently of briefer
duration and of rarer occurrence. Our
government, furthermore, seems especially
called upon to make a speciality of this
submarine weapon, because it is peculiarly
adapted for the defense of our seaports
against the great floating forts which an
invader would necessarily have to bring
against'us. The torpedo is incomparativlye
an economical weapon, compared with bat
tie ships, and when successful it is unqual-
i6edly and supremely successful 1t i. not
held, of course, at this time that coast de-

TWO UNFORTUNATES.
BEN o. RHOADES AND ALBERT
STURDY BECOME INSANE.
M. Rhoades Affected by the Excessive
Use of Narcotics for Nervousness-Mr.
Sturdy Fails to Be Benefited by the
Faith Cure.

Ren O. Rhoades, the senior member
of d well Unknown firm OF auctioneers, was
yesterday adjudged insane and COM
mitted to the asylum at Stockton by
Judge Lucien Shaw and the lunacy COM
missioners, who held an examination
upon the unfortunate gentleman at his
residence, No. 311 South Grand avenue.
For some time past Mr.. Rhoades has
been, suffering terribly from neuralgia,
and in order to -soothe his nerves he re-
sorted to the use of bromide and other
narcotics. As, however, his malady ap-
peared to increase, and he was further
troubled with insomnia, Mr.. Rhoades
increased the doses, with the result that
the insidious drugs affected his brain.
Although for two weeks past the patient
has subsisted almost entirely upon milk,
and naturally lost strength, he has at
times suddenly evinced almost super
natural power, when the combined ef-
forts OF two male attendants we're re-
0uired to prevent him from injuring
himself or others.
Albert Sturdy was taken to the police
station yesterday, and afterward to the
county Jail, as an insane person. Sturdy
gan streets, and has been i'll for some
time, his malady developing finally into
temporary insanity. Sturdy's wife is
''falth curr," and has been operating on
her husband without success. 1t is not
believed that it will be necessary to send
the patient to the asylum.
