FOR THE HEN HOUSE.


 do not know of two more valuable articles to have about the hen house than kerosene and lime. I cannot do without them. If my fowls show a slight cold, I put a tablespoonful of kerosene in their drinking water. If they have scaly legs, I mix kerosene with lard, equal parts, and bathe their legs. If they have lice put about half Hozen drops of kerosene to tablespoonful of melted lard, and grease them lightly on the top of their head, under their wings and back of the tail. Once a week I pour kerosene over the roosts. Once a week I put kerosene in the corners of the nests. For heavy colds in fowls l soak whole corn in kerosene and give them an evening feed of it. I clean the dropping boards under my roosts every morning, after which I strew air-slacke6 lime over them. I also sprinkle the lime in the nests and around the house Thus by the aid of these two powerful agents keep the house clean and sweet And in such houses dwell healthy anG profitable stock,-[ Poultry Advocate.

BOBLETER IS A CASHIER,
He Assumes Such Position ia the Colam-
bia Bank of Minneapolis.
He VIII R5tain His Public Office Until Bis
Term Expires However,

The Saturday Minneapolis Journal has
the following g.-The announcement was
made public to-day that Joseph Bobleter
had accepted the position of cashier of
the Columbian Bank of this city. It has
been known for some time past in busi-
ness circles that negotiations were pend
ing for the selection of Treasurer Bob
Letter for this position, but it was not ex-
peeted that these negotiations would
culmlnate SO soon as they have. Charles
Kittelson, president OF the bank, was
seen in regard to the matter today and
corroborated the statement, saving
that in fact Mr.. Bobleter had been cashier
of the institution for month past and
that he would continue in the position,
doing the work of the cashier when it
was absolutely necessary for him to attend
to it personally, and at other times the
other officials of the bank would attend
to the matter. Eventually Mr.. Boblete1
will devote all his time to his new duties,
but until his term of office expires he will
not give his entire time to the position
Col. Bobleter was at the Columbia bank
today when the reporter called to ascer-
taic the facts and IN an interview he de-
MED that the new position would in any
manner interfere with his duties as state
treasurer
''It has been stated that you will resign
your position as treasurer; is that true?'
inquired the reporter.
Il do not know how a statement of
that sort could originate" replied Mr..
Bobleter. II will do nothing of the
sort and will only give the cashiership
attention when my time permits. I have
accepted the position of state treasurer
and that will at all times receive my first
attention. OF course, I have right to
provide place into which [ can drop
when my tenn OF office expires, and that
is what have done in accepting the
cashiership of the Columbia Bank. Ne
gotiations have been pending for some
time past, but did not desire to connect
myself with any bank during the summer
and when the financial matters were so
critical. intend to give all my time

state treasury. During his long incumb-

has ever impeached or doubted the thor

almost worth his while to have been

forth such an array of emphatic testi-
mony in support of the public confidence
