CURING SQUIRE SKINS.

To cure squirrel skins, or other
small skins, with the fur on, SO that
the fur will not fall out After having
cut off the useless parts, soak the skin,
remove the fatty matter, and soak in
warm water for hour. Mix to a
thin paste a half ounce each Of borax,
saltpeter and sulphate of soda. Apply
this to the skin and let the latter stand
for twenty-four hours. Wash clean ;
then apply a mixture of one ounce sal
soda, one-half ounce borax, two ounces
hard white soap melted together with
out being allowed to boil. Put away
again for twenty-four hours in a warm
place. After this dissolve four ounces
alum, eight ounces salt and two ounces
saleratus in sufficient hot rainwater to
saturate the skin then wiring out and
hang it up to dry. When dry repeat
the soaking and drying two or three
times, until the skin is sufficiently
soft. Lastly, smooth the inside with
fine sandpaper and pumice stone

At each station there is a crew Of
seven men and a keeper. Each man
of the crew receives a salary of $65 q
month, and the keeper q salary of 5000
a year. The crew is under strict
discipline. Daily drills and rigid ex-
ercise is exacted. The stations on the
Atlantic coast are manned from Sep
TENDER l to May 1. During the sum
mer months the men fish in the
vicinity and may be called together at
any time, although not on regular
duty. On the great lakes the stations
are manned from the opening OF navi-
cation in the springuntil closed late in
the fall. The stations on the Pacific
coast are in service all the year.
There is a regular system Of promo
ton for the men. Fir ON the keeper
down they are numbered. In the

is commander of the crew. From

Concerning Hicc0ugh.

Hiccoughs, says the New York
World, are too we'll known and too
difficult to define. Although involun-
tary, they are considered SO very vul-
gar that in polite circles the victim
makes his or her excuses and retires.
The explosive and exhaustive little
cough is caused by the intermittent
~contractions of the larynx and dia-
phram. It is generally regarded as
the indication of a disordered liver,
but in children it is an unmistakable
symptom of indigestion. AS q rule it
is spasmodio and passes off without
need of treatment. At times the at
tack is serious, being distressing to
the individual and annoying to his
companions and should be promptly
treated.
One source of relief is a swallow of
cold water. A fit of hiccough can be
cured by sprinkling water on the face;
dashing q handful in the face is not a
pleasant surprise from a devoted
friend or mother, but it is a sure cure,
due, perhaps, as much to the sudden
revulsion of feeling as to the water.
If a baby has ; ~hiccough it is an indi-
cation that he has had far too much
dinner a change of position will bring
relief, a favorite one being to put the
well-fed voungster on his stomach
across the lap of his nurse.
An attack of hicooughs in children
is frequently followed by a@bad night,
either sleeplessness or the nightmare.
Of course, the mistake was in the sur
felt; the mother or the nurse must
bear the blame and find a way to sim
ulate digestion. It will be hard to
keep the infant awake and dangerous
to battle him within three hours, but
the old mans maxim may be tried on
the smallest fodder:
After dinner sit q while,
After supper walk o mile.
The Opelousas courier., 1893-10-28
POULTRY ADVICE.

AS the result of experiments at the
Central Experiment Farm, in Canada,
the following conclusions have been
arrived at:
Select the best layers for the winter
pens.
Supply the layers with bones, oyster
shells and vegetables.
Kill the drones. for they eat the
profit made by the good layers.
Get out as many chickens as possible
in time for the early grass.
When properly managed, poultry
and small fruits are said to be q paying
combination.
Keep the layers, if possible, in q tenn
perature where the drinking water will
not freeze.
With proper care the cockerels should
be fit for market in three to four
months and the pullets become layers
in five to six months.
The laying stock should be supplied
in winter with all the material neces-
sary for making the eggs.
The best layers will generally be
found to be the most active ones.
The Black Minorcas are rapidly COM
ing to the fore as winter layers.
Where the water is kept from freez-
ing it is of special advantage9to the
hens with large combs.
In cold poultry houses the food, in
stead of going into eggs, goes to keep
up the animal heat.
Fowls divided into small colonies lay
more eggs than when crowded to-
gether.
Keep no layer over two years, for il
then mouths SO late that all future
profit is eaten up before it commences
to lay.
Intelligent and systematic manage
ment is as necessary in the poultry de-
partment as it is in every other line Of
business.

biggest of All Searchlights.

A searchlight of 375, Ooo, 900 candle
power, set up at the Worlds Fair, lis
the biggest and most powerful electric
searchlight in the world. 1t dwarfs
into insignificance by comparison the
100, 900 candle-power s~earchlight on
Mount Washington, hitherto the great
est in existence. With the exception
of the rejecting lens mirror, which
was made in Paris, this great light is
entirely of American manufacture.
The height of the light is ten feet
six inches, and the weight 5000 pounds.
1t is SO perfectly balanced that a child
could move it in any direction. The
rejecting lens mirror is sixty inches
in diameter, three and one-quarter
inches thick at the edges, and one
sixteenth of an inch thick at the CEN

maximum current at which the lamp
operates is 200 amperes. This gives a

SHADE FOR STOCK.

Stock of ell kinds are not unlike
mankind in ONE respects, and seek
the shade whenever possible during
the extreme heat of summer. To crafty
this desire, shade should be provided
wherever practicable, and the cheap
est manner of doing this is through
the medium of shade trees. One or
two should be set out in each pasture,
and be protected by q fence until thor
oughly established. If the field be
titled, set the trees along the south
side, selecting those of rapid growth
and spreading branches. If they be
fruit trees, they should be trimmed to
a height of at least seven feet, and then
allowed to branch out. While the
trees are growing, it would be simply
humane to provide a temporary shelter
of some kind, such as setting a few
posts, and covering with poles. upon
which are thrown branches of ever
greens. or even limbs of oak or other
trees in full leaf. This will afford g
useful shelter, and if located upon a
knoll or other naturally poor portion
of the field, it will thoroughly enrich
the soil. By changing its position
yearly, various portions of the field
will be benefited. All this takes but a
little time, and can be done when other
work is not pressing. By boarding up,
late in the summer, the side from
which the prevailing winds blow, a fair
protection from the chilling blasts will
be obtained, and the stock will return
you the cost. American Agriculturist.
