How to Trap Moths at Night.

In order to trap night flying moths, set
bright lights over some sticky substance.
The moths fly to the light with consider
able force and drop to the surrounding
sticky matter, and in that way are fasten-
ed. As they are caught they can be de
stroyed by burning or other means. Moths
are also attracted by fire, and if small
bright fires were lighted at the time the
moths appear l have reason to believe they
would fly right into the blaze. This have
learned from eXperience.-Cor. Brooklyn

CHARCoAL FOR FOWLS.

We have found charcoal very ex.
cellent thing to furnish our poultry
with. 1t may be given in a powdered
state, mixed with the soft meal feed.
and little pulverized sulphur at the
same time may be added with advan-
tage. But the very best way to sup
ply this is to burn an ear or two of
corn upon the cob), charring it to
blackness and throwing it before them
They will devour every kernel, and
so supply themselves with grateful
and healthy substance that sweetens
the crop, and serves as an admirable
tonic TO the stomach.
At this season of the year the above
recommendation will be found valu-
able hint to poultrymen. Hens about
ready to lay will devour this prepared
charcoal eagerly, and the increased
freshness and redness of their combs
afterward evince the efficacy of this
allowance. For month or six weeks
in the early breeding season nothing
is better than this for laying hens
given them daily. Poultry World.

Tho following "short talksr from tba
Rams Horn contains many thoughts worth
treasurng up
moderate drinker is worth more to the
devil than a drunkard.
thirst has often been started with n
teaspoon that barrels could not quench.
The man who has temperance PRINCIPLES
should not keep them In the dark.
The man who is not against the sal oon Is
not against the devil.
Every drunkard used to boast that he
could drink or let il alone.
The man who forms good habits helps
God.
You can sometimes tell where n msn
stands by his breath.
Nine drunkards out Of ten are so to-day
because they did not resolve In youth to
lead a sober life.
The man who is not against the liauor
traffic with all his weight. is In favor of
giving the devil license to do business on
earth
There are people who claim not to believe
In hell who live In plain sight of a
drunkard's home
Putting screens in the saloon doors Is the
devils way of saying that he is ashamed of
himself
Whenever you see drunken man il
ought TO remind you that every boy In the
world is in danger
When somebody appears to prove that
there Is no hell, whisky men are the first 10
throw up their hats.
