TWENTY GOOD RULES.
How to Destroy Lice on Chicks and Rid
the Poultry House of Them.


/. When chicks droop and appear
sick without cause, especially In sum
mer, look for lice mot the little red
mites, but the large, gray body lice) on
the heads and necl<s.
2. If you find them use few drops
of grease of any kind, A teaspoonful
Of oil of pennyroyal to a cupful of lard
Is excellent
8. Look under the wings for the red
lice, but use only few drops of the
lard
4. Never grease the bodies of the
chicks unless lightly as grease will
often kill them.
5. Never use kerosene on chicks, un-
less it be a teaspoonful of kerosene TO
a teacupful of lard, as it is irritating.
g. Crude petroleum is always excel
lent, and serves as liniment, but mix
it with twice it's quantity of lard.
Z. Keep the dust bath always ready.
Use dry dirt or sifted coal ashes, Add
carbonate of lime, Persian insect pow
der or oil of pennyroyal to the dirt.
8. To rid the house of lice, sprinkle
coal-oil everywhere walls, roosts,
yards, roof, inside and outside, and re-
peat often.
8. Dust insect powder in the feathers,
and be sure it is fresh and good.
10. Put insect powder and tobacco
dust in the nests. Clean them out every
| week.
II. Even when no lice may be pres
ent, use the sprinkler of kerosene at
least once week; and keep the roost
always saturated.
12 No matter how clean things may
appear, look for the large lice on the
heads, throats and vents.
13. Lice abound both in winter and
summer, but more especially in sum-
mer
Ia. One-half the chicks and young
turkeys die from lice, Chicks or tur'
keys with hens, or turkey hens, always
have lice (either the mites or large
ones).
Is. Carbolate of lime is the cheapest
powder to use for busting over the floor
and walls.
10. Always aim to get the solutions or
powders into the cracks and crevices.
II. The easiest and best way to
whitewash is with force-pump. They
are now made to force water from a
bucket.
1s. When your chicks have bowel dis
ease, look for the big lice.
10. No mites need be present where
plenty of coal-oil and carbolic acid arc
used
20. Lice means work. Repeat these
precautions and remedies frequently.

triangular green bug with sharp spines
at the front of the body, and may be
found quite plentiful in autumn, at
which time the eggs are laid. Rene
dies are difficult to apply, as the
insect occurs on such variety
of trees. and at the time the
damage is done is not likely to be
noticed at all. On valuable trees it
could doubtless be destroyed if sprayed
with kerosene emulsion when deposit
ing eggs. but it would be necessary to
keep careful watch to attack it at the
proper time, and this must necessarily
be before egg deposition has fairly COM
menced to be effective. In spring the
infested twigs could be cut off and
burned and thus reduce the coming
brood: but when the insects have been
abundant this would involve very severe
pruning, and if other trees were plenty
in the vicinity it could be but partially
effective. Where young orchards are
isolated from other timber it might
prove an advantage. 1t might also be
Of advantage in young orchards to spray
the trees thoroughly with kerosene
emulsion shortly after the eggs have
Matched, as the young hoppers would
then be easily killed, and the foliage
not being so dense as later in the season
would leave them more exposed to the

A GREAT DlscIPLlNARlAN.
An Old Connecticut Teacher Soundly
Thrashes a Resentful Young Man.


Thrashes a Resentful Young Man.
When William Sturges taught school
in the little red schoolhousc on the hill
in this town, over forty years ago, he
was considered a strict disciplinarian
among his pupils. One of them was
Lorenzo Olmstead, whom Mr.. Sturges
had occasion to thrash soundly one term
for bit of deviltry. The affair caused
some talk at the time, according to the
Wiltonites, but they all upheld Mr..
Sturges. The other day, when Mr..
Sturges now man approaching his
SEVENTEEN year, went to the post office
for his daily mail, he met son of his
former pupil, named Harry Olmstead,
who is just twenty-one years old.
Young Olmstead stepped up to the old
man and remarked:
"Mr. Sturges, many years ago you
gave my father, Lorenzo by name, who
was one of your students, terrible
thrashing. Do you remember it?" aSa
The old schoolmastcr replied in the
affirmative, and added that he deserved
it.
"Well," said young Olmstead, II am
going to lick you, my dear sir, and pay
up that old score with compound inter
est"
IF you think you can do it you can
begin now" said Mr.. Sturges.
Some further words were exchanged,
and it was proposed that they put up
some money on the result. Olmstead
borrowed fifty cents and placed it in
Louis Verlins hands, which amount
Mr., Sturges promptly covered from an
| old sheepslSin pockctbook. A ring was
formed and the old man put up his fists.
Young Olmstead, who had considerable
confidence in himself because he had
taken lessons in boxing from Norwalk
| sport, sailed in. He can not tell to-day
exactly how it happened. Mr.. Sturges
warded off his blows, seized him by his
coat collar and the seat of his trousers
and shook him until his teeth ratified.
Then he motioncd for more room and
began to plow up the ground with
young Olmstead's nose. After getting
quite furrow he narrowed 1t with the
youngsters legs, and finally let him
up. The young man was now
thoroughly mad, and, forgetting the
old score, with interest, he was going
to pay on his fathers account, started
in to pay off the present one. Again
the old man took hold of him, but this
time he lost his footing and came down
on top of his youthful antagonist He
seized Olmstead's neck between his
teeth and bit him severely. Then he
let go there and got hold of an ear, and
he was chewing away on that with
great vigor when the bystanders inter
fered and separated the fighters.
Olmstead was sorry sight. Hi
clothing was useless, even for a corn
field scarecrow, and his face and cal
were bleeding freely The old mar
was excited, and his collar was awry
with the old-fashioned stock twisted
around under one ear, Not mark o
the affray was on him. Claiming thu
stakes, which were handed over t.
him, he went home, while Olmsteat
sought secluded spot to make re
pairs to his wardrobe The affai
created much talk here, because Mr.
Sturges is a school visitor, town audi
tor, and pillar of the church. Blu
the provocation was great.-N. Y. Sun

Fig 2 shows the brace closed, the dot
