John i. Robinson, in u Southern
exchange, says: My plan, which.
think, is used by no breeder, has
never failed me in completely Kidding
my fowls OF every insect, and has
demonstrated to me its infallibility.
1t is simply the use OF oil of sassa-
fras mixed with sweet oil. and apply
small quantity to different parts of
the body of the fowl, selecting those
points where tho vermin would be
most apt to hide. In applying tho
preparation j fill with it small oil
can, so that can force out as much
or as little OF the oil as l wish. A
very small bit can be made to go
great ways, for one drop can
be rubbed over two or three
inches OF space, and is not more
troublesome to apply than the various
insect powders. i use sweet oil
because OF its curative powers but
any kind OF grease no matter what,
will do to mix with the oil of sassa-
fras. The oil OF sassafras Is the
eradicator, the other merely the We
hicle. 1 believe common sassafras
tea would be wonderfully efflcacious.
Make 1t in a large pot, then. after
allowing 1t to cool, dip the fowls in
bodily. In one second the lice will
be dead, and in ten seconds tho fowl
will be perfectly dry, IL placed in the
sunshine. 1t is hard to form an idea
OF the magical effect produced by the
oil OF sassafras. have never tried
the remedy in greater attenuation
than that mentioned Zone to five or
six), but believe that IL would be
equally good il composed Of one
ounce OF oil OF sassafras to ten or
twelve of any other oil or grease.

Hold thee till each foe had fled,

Hold thee floating, never driven,
Hold thee as the Lord holds Heaven.

To Mako a Corn cattlns Machine.

We see great many different
cutters In the market, but they all
cost too much money. Among our
homo made ones, some,of our farmers
take the wheels OIL 3of their corn

on pivot in front they can make %
cutter that one horse can pull two
men without much labor. But the
sled is mostly used and it pulls heavy
with two men on. We,can get along
faster to have Sled for each man.

feet long. make my sled six feet long;
| make the sl1d narrow enough TO go
between the rows; | fastcn the knife
on the right hand of tho sled. Take
a board two inches wide and five feet
long and sharpen one end; tho other
end fastcn to- tho back end OF
the sled. Fastcn this board slant
ing enough SO tho sharpened
end will project about fifteen inches
from the side Of the front end this is
TO catch up the corn that may be
down; by taking small Timber pole
and fastening it to this. board near
the end that is sharp and then put
ting Il standard about three feet high
on the back end OF the sled and
fastening this pole to the top Of the
standard, when stalk of corn is on
the ground the board will catch i.
and this pole will bring the stalk up
to you; this will also keep anyone
from trying TO pick up a down stalk,
for it is dangerous TO try to. For

has to answer the purpose. The

may follow, but the Chesterfield or fly
front oversacb goes on forever, and
neither wakes or wanes in popularity.
The only difference you will observe
between the Chesterfield of this year
and that of last year is that the new
is trifle larger than the old.
Soft dark gray is the staple
material, although smooth faced
blacks. blue and browns will
suit some people better But in heavy
garments for real cold weather llerseys
and smooth faced beavers will be the
favorites. As the season advances,
however, softer finished fabrics will
probably be more used. From - TO
AZ inches is the fall length for the
average misunderstanding ) feet and
& Understand for winter, from 43 to as
inches. In both seasons it will slightly
define the form, though it will be
moderately loose, and the back may be
cut whole, with the side seams left
open from 8 to IL inches, or have a
center seam with bottom rent of
bout the same length. The lapels
and collar ut the notch will be about
an inch and three-quarters wide for
fall, and two and quarter inches FOR
winter weights. The five buttons and
holes will be evenly S aced giving a
moderately low opening, and the fronts
and shoulders will be finished as soft
as possible, 50 that the former may
roll free when thrown open. Single
stitching will prevail, flaps will go in
or out. collars will be of velvet, the
silk will extend to the edge and the
sleeves will be with deep rents with or
without buttons, and without bottom
stitching.
The new ulster will be next in popu-
larity to the Chesterfield. 1t is vari-
ously known as the kennel, the pad
dock and the racing coat Except in
a few of the larger cities, it is COM
paratively new garment. 1t is close
fitting and long and has very swell
effect And, after all, it is nothing
but long surtout or newmarket, or
close fitting sack, Nenetians, covert
coatings and light colored, smooth
faced fabrics are the materials from
which it will be made, and it will av-
erage fifty inches in length, with
waist length of nineteen and a half
inches The back will be cut whole
and will make up at the hip buttons
to n width of from six t. six and half
inches. There will be an abundance
of drapery to the skirts. which will
opeu at the right side. The fronts will
usually be finished with fly. with a
roll of moderate length, with lapels
two ard a quarter and collar three
inches wide. Occasionally they will
be heavily double breasted. Collars
and cuffs, the latter from three and
half to four inches deep, may be of
velvet If desired--indeed, this mate
rial will be the more favored. Either
double or single stitching may be used.
The hip pockets Will be crescent
shaped and have flaps of ample pro-
portions.
Lovers of the box overcoat may in
dulge their fancy this year and be
in perfect style. The only difference
is that it will be longer this year than
last-that is from f6 10 as inches.
