Handling Insecticides.

A report of the Maine experiment
station contains the following useful
cautions to those who handle insecti-
eide poisons: l. They should always
be carefully and distinctly labeled Poi
son, and kept out of the reach of children.
2. They should never be handled with
bare hands, and without oiling the
hands or covering any sores with court
plaster, or still better using gloves. 8.
While spraying, keep to the windward
of the trees; wash thoroughly after
wards, and keep children out of the
orchard. A. Exclude animals until n
heavy rain falls. g.. Avoid spraying on
the windward side of q dwelling or any
yard for animals. To these precautions
we may add that it is specially impor-
tant to mix the materials very thorough
ly, SO as to make a more efficient action,
and to prevent tho danger of any I'M
diluted portions.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

SULPHUR in the nests Is a good RENE
dy for lice.
WARM, well-ventilated coops should
be provided for the early chicks.
A LITTLE care in shutting fowls up at
the start will teach them to lay in the
house.
COLD, wet, improper feed and filth
are the four leading causes of disease
among poultry.
T%HRIBTIEB and more vigorous chicks
will be secured if the eggs used for
Matching are fresh.
FRESH earth in which the hens can
wallow and scratch will be found Of
considerable benefit.
IT will help to promote health if care
is taken to wash out the drinking YES
sells clean every morning.
THE gizzard of the fowl masticates
the food, but this can only be done with
plenty of sharp, gritty material.
BY selecting eggs for Matching from
the hens that lay the earliest and best,
q decided improvement can be made in
the breed.
The white or brown Leghorns are q
very desirable breed where eggs are
wanted. They are good layers, but not
good settlers.
The nests should always be in a dark
ened place. The hens will not be dis
turbed so much nor be liable to break
80 many eggs.
HENS at this time should not be over
fed. Keep them with u sharp appetite,
so that they will take exercise enough
to keep healthy.
Two TABLEsPooNBULs Of crude car
bolic acid to each bucketful Of white
wash will make it much more de-
structive to lice.
HENS and poultry of every kind will
not thrive if kept in dark, close quar-
tiers. They need plenty of fresh air
and light to thrive well.
WHILE milk Is an excellent food for
fowls, care should be taken not to al
low it to stand in the vessels until it be-
comes rancid. Keep the vessels clean.

When Sunday comes my horse knows
that I am nQt proceeding on my pro
fessional rounds. but he will put on his
best style and proceed to the accus-
toned church. when. without any guild
ing on my part, he viii land his load at
the church door. and woe-to the team
that may chance to get in ahead of
him. On no other day of the week
will he make the attempt to turn up
into or pay attention to the road lead
ing to the church.
Two weeks ago. on Sunday, I took
my wife out for a ride on Bolton noun
tain, and in going had to pass a church,
one to which the horse was not accus-
toned to go, when to my surprise he
was bound TO stop. It was only with
some difficulty that l got him past the
post. About a mile and a half farther
on he came to another church, one at
which he has never been accustomed TO
stop. To my surprise John made an
other strong effort to stop. On any
week day he will pass that church daily
without paying it the least attention.

cnlti,atlnr the Rubher mo-.

The threatened dearth in the worlds
supply Of rubber has led to the forma-
ton of a syndicate to cultivate the rub
Der tree on a large scale. In Ceylon
steps have already been taken to carry
out the same idea by sowing the seed
of the cerea in patches Of jungle, and
the supply of rubber from that island
promises to be, in a few years. double
what it is at present. Encouraged by
the apparent success of this experiment,
the syndicate proposes to carry on the
rubber cultivation on several large es-
tates in the southern part Of Mexico,
moi far from the gulf, where the eli
mate will be most favorable for their
operations.
The rubber tree grows with great ra-
pidity, and "A tree of average size will
yield about twenty gallons Of milk,
which is equal to forty pounds of dried
rubber. From the testimony of ex-
perts it is found that this yield win

TWO CITES COMPARED.


lssss England Cities Make the Best show
ing Because of Public Spirit.
The cities Of Worcester. Mass, and
Syracuse, N. Y, illustrate generally the
differences between New England and
Middle states city governments. In 1880
the two cities we're nearly equal in pop
ulation. They are both manufacturing
cities, situated in the interior. and sur
rounded by agricultural communities.
In 1880 Syracuse had 90 miles of streets,
IL "a miles of which were paved. The
annual cost Of maintaining these high
ways was about $35, 900. For the same
cost Worcester maintained 1917 miles Of
streets, all of which were paved.
The water works of Syracuse were
owned by a private corporation, those
of Worcester by the city. Syracuse had
no parks, unless a small square or two
may be thus dignifed; Worcester had
about thirty-five acres of parks. The
drainage system Of Worcester was much
10 elaborate and perfect than that Of
Syracuse. While it cost Syracuse from
S1O, 900 to S12, 900 a year to clean its
n~inety-two miles of streets, it cost
Worcester only 50, 800 to clean its 1877
miles of streets.
The police force Of Worcester was
larger and more expensive than that OF
Syracuse. On an expenditure Of S104,-
SOC the New York city maintained
eighteen schools. in which were taught
about 1000 pupils; he Massachusetts,
atty maintained thirty-six schools and

had five steam ei zines, twelve hose car
rages, one extin usher and three hook
ard ladder trucks. The annual cost Of
the first was 81. $50, Of the second
SIS, $40.
A similar story might. be told of al
most any two cities taken indiscrimi
nately from New England and from
any other section of the country.
The abode of the vigilant citizen
in the United States is in that
part of the country where the town

CONGRESSMAN GRAMS POKER sToRY


why he Wasn't shot on the First Night
aud How tie Escaped on The Second.
Congressman Grain, who represents
the Galveston district of Texas, tells
some remarkable stories of poker play
ing In that state during val time. IL
was an epoch there of lawlessness and
mob rule, and personal bravery was the
quality of leadership. One night he
was playing in a game with three or
four Others. one of them a desperate
named Boyd The latter took ad-
vantage OF the c~onyiviality of the pro-
ceedings to hold out a card, and Grain
saw him do il. On the spur of the mo-
ment Grain said, BOYD. o are cheat
ing
l. was a foolish thing to do, unless
with pistol in hand, because il meant
immediate murder. But, to the sur
prise Of every one, Boyd simply turned
very pale laughed and replied. Grain
boards at my house, you know, and so
l can't afford to shoot him"
The next evening Boyd came unin-
vited into Grains room, where some
other men were, and offered to play
Grain a game of two handed freeze
out" The latter assented and they sat
down at the table, while the rest drew
their chairs back and waited for the
tragedy they supposed was coming. A
few minutes later Boyd again cheated,
so openly that he doubtless intended to
be caught. and Grain at one charged
him with the offense.
Immediately Boyd leaped to his feet,
seized two chairs and threw them into
the air. One of them struck Boyd rs
it fell, and he drew the pistol he had
ready, crying, Grain, you hit me with
a chart"
Like a fash, says Grain. in telling
the story. my instinct as d cri.ninal
lawyer came &c IN aid. saw that his
purpose was II claim self defenss in
shooting me. SO, without stirring from
my seat, I pointed my finger at Boyd,
who had me covered with his gun, and
said; Boyd, you know that isn't true.
l haven't touched you. If you want
to s.sht III accommodate you anywhere
you like and with any weapons within
an ho1r Of this time. Let's fght, if
nee6 De. but there's no occasion for
murderr"
Grains GOODNESS of action saved him
and the duel never came of, because
friends interfered. He lived to secure
Boyd's acquittal Of murder subse-
quently. Later on, however, Boyd
was killed with his boots on in a row.
