sCABBY LEGS IN POULTRY.

The unsightly Jumps IN the feet aud
legs of poultry are due to the presence
of minute insect or mite very much in
size and habits like the itch mite In
sheep, causing a disease known as scab.
II you will remove some of the scabs
from the feet of your fowls and examine
them under a magnifying lens of fair
power you will see the mites in great
numbers. These mites feed upon the
spongy deposit in the scabby growths,
and can be readily destroyed by almost
any of the common itch ointments or lin.

of common lard, sulphur and
kerosene will destroy thcm, or an
ointment made Of one ounce
of carbolic acid and twenty ounces of
lard IS equally as efficacious, and readily
applied with small paint brush. You
should also smear the roosts with the
same ointment, or wash them thoroughly
with carbolic acid and water, in order
to kill any mites that may be in the
cracks of the wood. Clean out the hen

Japanese Fans.

ssJapanese fans, only a cent This
was the sry of a street peddler one day
last week, and he had very little trouble
in disposlng of his wares. The fans
were strongly made of twenty-five strips
of bamboo with two thicker ones at the
ends, the latter having on them polish
of black lacquer. The strips were held
together by u rivet, forming hinge on
which the fan opened and closed. The
upper ends of the strips were covered
with two layers of touch paper, painted
in four colors representing flowers, the
top edge touched with another color.
And all for one cent.
The Mail and Express man asked
dealer how such a fan could be made
and brought from Japan to New York,
here sold at so low price and yet give
the peddler profit. "Bamboo," =" said
he, "grows in Japan as plentiful as cat
tails in New Jersey. 1t is easily split by
a hand-and foot machine and hundreds
of thousands strips can be made in day.
The Japanese excel in the making Of
strong or tough paper, and in painting
rapidly, by stamping process, the
flowers upon it. The putting together
of the fan is done by machinery, and the
cost of the labor is almost nothing when
compared with the pay of American
workmeu. The cheap fans are used as
packing for more expensive goods, such
as porcelain jars, and as they pack
closely large number can 90 in:lde and
around one umbrella stand.
1.-The porcelain bears the expense of
freight, which would amount to just as
much without the packing as with. This
packing hel % to preserve the more valu-
able article. So there is no cost for the
freight of the fans. Although there is
thirty-fve per cent. duty on both the
porcelain and packing, the invoice price
of the latter is so small that the duty
amounts to little. The fan packing is
then sold here in job lots, and the ped
ders get them for mere nothing. That
is why they can sell them so cheaply.
Even at one cent, the realized price is
much higher THAI the japanese charge
for them in large quantities. New

CENSUS bulletin l04 details tho
population of color, sex and general
nativity for 1890. The arrangement
Is in geographical divisions, North
and South Atlantic, North and South
Central, and Western divisions.
Texas is in the South Central and
stands first in population among the
eight thus grouped. In this State
the population amounts to 2,235, 523;
ST this the colored proportion is
4ss,5SS. This embraces all colored
races. The population Of the entire
country is put at G2, 622, $50 and the
percentage is as follows: Native
white, 1924; foreign white, 1855;
colored, 1920, the per cent. OF the
latter in 1880 being l3.46. The
slight increase of per cent. in foreign
white and the decrease in the ratio
of the colored races would seem to
indicate that this country is in no
immediate danger of being dominated
by either and whatever is the status
in certain sections, the entire coun-
try is in the hands of the native born
Anglo-Saxon.

To Draiu Zuyder Zee.

The commercial societies of Holland
have petitloncd the Government to ex-
anime again the project to drain the
Zuyder Zee and to carry them into effect,
if possible, thus adding about 759
square miles to the territory of Holland.
The total cost OF the work would be
about 100, 900, 900 Of florins, besides the
cost of changing the coast deEeuces of
the country to meet the changed condi-

the equivalent of about S47, 500, ,00U for
the work, which would involve the

RELIGIOUS READING.
THE VALUE OF HOME TRAINING.

Some things we learn from our parents
Will stay by us in later years. however much
the world may encrOach upon our hearts anu
minds. The fact is, truth has a mighty
force of it's own when tlugbt in love. The
child mind is in plastic state and the i'm
pressions made by the truth spoken by father
and mother are likely to endure, when love
seals evey word. This fact has pleasant IL
lustraton in the following simple event. 1t
was related by Presbyterian minister at
Sabbath convention in Binghampton, n. l.
1t appears that Christian family highly
esteemed, in Western New York village,
removed abont two years ago to Michigan:
Guy. an Industrious. conscientious lad or
this family, wishing to become helpful to
his parents, was hired by the publishers OF a
leading paper to sell the daily issues in that
town. After the bargain had been made,
he was told that he would be expected to
sell on Sundays as well rs week days. rms
he had not taken into the account, and II
troubled him exceedingly. He was very
anxious to have the situation. but could not
see how he could spend his Sahbatns in that
way. He appealed to his parents who very
wisely told him Ito think the matter over"
knowing that the principles which they bad
inculcated would lead him to correct de-
cision.
At first he thought of hiring another boy
to do the Sunday work, but after little
thought concluded this would not be right.
Finally he determined to give up the posi-
ton altogether, and so informed the editor
of the paper. Il can't work on Sunday,
said Guy. "Oh," replied the editor, Il used
to feel so too, but now we all work on Sun.
day, and you had better continue with this,
NO." he firmly answered. "if' must sell
papers on Sunday. IN stop altogether"
This noble stand taken by the young lad
must have caused his employer to think OF
earlier days, and perhaps of bis own mother,
for he soon responded:
"You need not give up your position.
Keep il and I promise you will stop print
ing Sunday edition of my paper"
Guy went away delighted, Of course, and
the editor has kept his word, although his
paper had large circulation.
That is what a boy may accomplish

WASHING SHEEP.

So much depends upon the condition
of the wool as to cleanliness that it
would be difficult to say too much on the
necessity of thorough washing. One of
our subscribers, a few days since was
greatly disappointed by the low price his
wool brought in the Chicago market.
The reason was that the wool was heavy
with dirt. One or two feeces on top
were washed. This will not answer.
The commission men and especially our
National Cooperative Club go to the
bottom and expect to find all alike. OF
course the wool can be sold If dirty, but
it will bring perhaps twelve or fourteen
cents, whereas flrst.class wool or that
same wool we'll cleanscd would bring
twenty-five cents or more.
Sometimes it is asked what is the
best way to wash. We answer almost
any way that is honest and removes ali
the dirt. As to whether the washing
should be before or after shearing ex.
perienced sheep raisers disagree. 1t is
much pleasanter work to shear sheep that
have beeu we'll washed. The practice in
the East has been to wash always before
shearing. But in that case it would be
better to have the washing done week
or two before the shearing. It is better
to allow time for the oil to come back
into the fleece.
There is to our mind no better way
than to take the sheep into a running
stream and wash by hand every part Of
the fleece. OF course the sheep should
not be paced in any dusty or muddy
yard Immediately after, but in clean
pasture. If there is any patent way for
an honest farmer in this matter of wash
ing sheep and preparing his fleece to get
the highest price in the market we do
not know it.-Farm, Field and Stock

EASY WAYS w1:H CUTTINGS.

A convenient propagating frame may
be easily made as follows: With hogs.
head or barrel hoop laid on the ground
as a guide set in close row OF halt
width shingles in circle just Inside the
hoop. They can be hammered firmly in
place, and should be left at an even
height of nine inches above ground.
These form the upright part of the
frame from which, If rightly made, the
hoop may now be lifted, though it should
TT rather closely.
To make the cover. stretch one thick
ness of white cotton cloth tightly across
the hoop, bringing the edges inward,
and sewing it firmly, the thread passing
over and over the hoop, as in winding.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1892-08-31

The frame may be made in any open
sunny place in the garden, as the cloth
cover tempers the light so that usually
no other protection ls needed. Another
consideration, ho slight one to busy or
forgetful gardener, is that evaporation 10
retarded, thus making an everyday wa
tering needless.
The cuttings to be rooted may be set
in pots or in the earth under the frame
with equally good results. For q few
slips the former is the better way; but
the frame will hold great many more
if they are set close together in the
earth.
Make the soil mellow for foot in
depth, add water, and mix till the whole
is stiff mud. Cuttings set in this will
need no further watering for q long
time.
When rooted the earth Is so compact
that by cutting out square bit around
each they may be lifted and transplantsd
without disturbing the roote in the least.
The frame Is recommended for all
kinds of cuttings, but Is eso specially good

On the subject of Goods Forgiveness" the
Christian Union has these true words: None
are excluded: Look unto me. and be ye
saved. all the ends of the earth;" Through
his name every one that be!ieveth on him
shall receive remission OF sins" And the
voice of the Christ says, Him that cometh
to me will in no wise cast out" He not
only pardons the sins Of the past, but gives
strength to resist present temptations. We
not only receive mercy, but We find grace to
help in time of need. The promise is
conditioned. We must ask forgiveness in the
name Of Christ, for none other will avail.
We must come with humility, confessing
our sins. We must prove our repentance
by forsaking our sins. II We have accepted
pardon through Christ, we surely ought,
through him, to Golfer up sacrifice ofpraise
to God continually-that II, the fruit OF lips
which make confession to his name" We
ought also to heed his command concerning
the "blood Of the covenant which is shed
for many unto remission OF SINS
"This do in remembrance of me-" And
still another duty is ours. Like the
starving lepers in the Syrian camp. we
should realize that this is day of good tid-
ings, and we do not well to bold or peace.
The "exceeding great and precious promises"
are not for US alone, but Tor all men, ana 30
MANY have never heard even one OF them.
Repentance and remission OF sins should
he preached in His name unto all the ma
tions." We have been forgiven much; we
should love much. Let us prove our love by
our efforts to make known Gods promise OF
forgiveness throughout the world.

THE MINISTRY OF SORROW.

There is nothing from which we shrink

beauty; and there is much in the human

MANS NATURE IN HIS CUPS

So with the popular belief that the real
nature Of man comes out when he Is in his

the real nature Of the man is not simply OBJ

as completely changed as if the man had
suddenly received terrible injury to the
brain through physical violence or disease.
Nine men out of ten, when in their CUPS,

how robust in understanding or vivacious
in intellect they may be when sober. II the

Over. fat hens are nuisance. They
are always lazy, generally broody, and
lay few if any eggs. Better market or

Corn has a tendency to produce fat
rather than milk, but oatmeal is better
than cornmeal to quickly fatten old cows
or steers.
Probably one of the best uses for de-
horned cattle is that they can come

All Of the poultry drinking vessels,

NOT GOOD FOR FOWLS.

Any substance that gives of gaseous
matter for several days is unsuitable for
use in the poultry house as q disinfect.
ant. For this reason the chloride of
lime is not recommended, as the chloride
gas which 1t gives off for while Is in
furious to the hens. The best way to
dislniect it is by the burning Of sulphur,
as has been suggested before, or by the
use OF some solution. A three per cent.
solution of carbolic acid sprayed over
every portion of the poultry house once
a week is one of the best and cheapest
modes of disinfecting, and the method
is harmless to tho foWls.-New York

home has made it a holier. stronger and
