DESTROYING TICKS.
How to Prepare Dip That Has Provst
to BE Effective.

how to Prepare Dip That Has Proved
to BE Efective.
The most troublesome external par
Isite in northern flocks now is the
iheep tick, Melophogus ovinus. Like
most of the parasites of sheep it is an
Importation from Europe. Though hav-
ing no wings it belongs to the family
>f flies. 1t may be distinguished from
The true ticks by it's having only six
legs, whereas the true ticks have eight.
It has circular, flattened, leathery
body, unsegmente and semi-translu-
tent.
They reproduced by means of eggs,
which contain partially developed
Foung at the time of depositing. A
female produces from one to eight of
.hese pup@ during lifetime They
spend their whole life upon sheep, ex-
periments with them showing that
they die in few days after being re-
moved. They live by sucking blood
from the sheep through small tube
with which they puncture the skin.
The itching sensation which causes
Iheep infested with them to rub and
icratch arises from slight poisoning
by fluid injected while feeding. This
shows itself by a slight swelling at the
point where the skin was punctured.
The loss of blood is considerable
where there are fifty or more ticks
apon single sheep, but the annoy
lnce is of greater detriment Sheep
cannot thrive when tormented by
them. 1t is not only humane but fnan-
sally profitable to destroy them. The
simple and effective method is to i'm
merse the sheep in watery solution
Of some insecticide. There are very
many prepared dips that are very in
expensive compared with their value.
Directions for using are given with
each package.
An effective dip may be made by
boiling tobacco stems and using the
liquid while hot. The same batch of
stems may be reboiled, so long as they
yield liquid of sufficient strength.
Tobacco stems may be gotten at any
.igar factory for little or nothing, as
they throw them away and have to
pay for having them carted off. This
makes the cheapest preparation for
:he work but it is very unpleasant to
work with.
Each sheep should remain in the dip
long enough to become thoroughly
wet If the work is thoroughly done
= single treatment will be sufficient.
1t will be good plan to shear early
.ambs before dipping. An oil barrel
with about one foot sawed from the
top makes satisfactory vat; drain
ing board upon which to lift the sheep
from the barrel completes the outfit.

giving dinner we are to have at home.
If you'll wait for me, I'll put on your
skates for YOU"
"Oh; thank you, but they go on quite
easily. There's Belle Parker. guess
I'll go with her."
Archie's first advance had met de-
cided repulse. He turned on his heel
and went after his skates. His next
attack, he felt confident, would be
more successful, for he was a famous
skater.
The great millpond resounded with
the ring of countless steel-shod feet.
Bright faces and happy voices were
there in profusion. Never had the
skating been better, the weather finer
or the crowd larger

field-all went to make up scene de-
lightful and inspiring. 1t was life,
and life in It's most favorable aspect
combination of health, happiness
and action.
When Archie Hendricks reached the
pond he found Keith Walters putting
on Irma's skates.
Archie was jealous.
Belle Parker at once became the
flattered object of his attentions and
he devoted himself to her, although she
was but a mediocre skater.
lrma was both daring and accom-
plished in the art, and she was the OBJ
ject of many compliments and univer'
sal admiration from the onlookers.
Keith, tbeing a college man, was
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1894-11-24

I versed in all the latest figures and
fancies of the skater, and he found
Irma an apt scholar.
They crossed the pond with the
"Dutch roll" in a most finished man
ner. They "cut the grapevine" trellis
and all; they skated alternately back
ward and forward, but the admiration
of the spectators knew no bounds when
the graceful pair "did the Mercury"
that difficult figure that must be done
we'll If done at all
Archie soon found excuse for relin-
gushing Belle Parker, who was not
his ideal of skater belle. The only
girl he cared to skate with was mo-
nopolized by Keith Walters.
Archie was aggravated.
Once lrma separated from her part
ner and slated to the other side of the
pond. Archie was about to follow,
when her brother lack took her in hand,
and Archie's hopes again were blasted.
Archie's mental thermometer now
registered one hundred in the shade.
He skated fiercely. He performed
marvels, He entered game of tag"
and led the entire horde of boys an ex-
citing chase before he allowed himself
to be caught
His flashing steel was never quiet.
Now it was the "bacl roll" now the
"outer edge" He cut wonderful de-
vices upon the icy slate, and then ac-
knowledged them by signing his name
with a mighty flourish, which so awed
the younger boys that they forgot to
skate.
Then he wandered off to deserted
part of the pond to brood upon his
misery.
Keith and Irma, tired of admira-
tion, had slated up the frozen stream
and away from the crowd.
Isn't this great fun?" said Keith.
TITS just too splendid for anything"
responded Irma, who was wishing,
nevertheless, that Archie would ask
her to skate. Why was he so stub
born?
"Irma, can you keep secret?" said
Keith.
TRY me-"
"Well-I'm engaged"
Keith Walters, you don't mean It'll"
"Yes do. But you're the first one
I've told"
"oh! Tell me all about it. quick! I'm
dying to hear!'
"Well. she's a college girl-one of
my classmates-a lovely girl. 1 wish
! you knew her. We are keeping quiet

about it while we are in college, you
know"
what is she like? and what's her
name? and where is she from? and
when will you be married? and who"
"Oh, one at time, now, Irma! You
are as bad as a college examination.
Let me see-she has light, wavy
hair"
And blue eyes?"
"No-brown."
"And a soft complexion?"
peaches and cream"
"And pretty nose?"
Truly Greek"
Tall or short?"
"Just the right size"
"But you haven't told me her name
yet"
Her name is Ncllie-Nellie Gray,
but expect that inside of two years it
will be Mrs. Keith Walters"
Suddenly the skaters noticed that
the. ice around them was weak. 1t be-
gan to bend and crack.
"We must get away from this" said
Keith.
They turned around. That half-stop
was fatal. The ice gave way and as
Keith pushed Irma from him he went
down into the water.
Irma screamed, She turned back
toward Keith.
Don't come near me! The ice will
break with you" he shouted.
Then he tried to get out. The ice
broke wherever he leaned his weight
upon it.
Irma took off her long fur boa and
threw one end to him. He caught it
and it sustained him.
"Call for help, Irma!"
Keith was deathly pale and the
water was chilling him through.
Irma called again.

Poultry I'm the VInexnrds.

An English authority calls attention
to the fact that some of the best
French poultry emanate from the
wine districts of France. In the Medoc,
where claret comes from, they are to
be seen in large numbers, although
the vines are not more than fifteen
inches in height Here they are given
full liberty and allowed to wander
where they like for ten months in the
year, only being removed during July
and August, when the grapes are ripen.
ing. Instead of being injurious, they
are found very serviceable indeed in
clearing the vines of insects and grub,
cleaning the land and supplying il
with valuable manure. This ar
rangement fits in with the require.
ments of poultry, for by the beginning
of July there has been a great reduc.
tion in numbers, the chickens for
marketing purposes having all been
killed by that time, and thus the stock
is more limited in number than 10
would be earlier in the year.

Our National thanksgiving Dny.

The national observance of Thanks
giving day was brought about by
woman. Mrs. Sarah j. Hale, of Phila-
delphia, began about 1874 to urge,
through the magazine of which she
had charge, and by personal corre-
states and with presidents of tho
United States, that Thanksgiving day
should be made national festival,
and be held on the same day through
out the country. Her suggestion was
adopted twenty years later by Presi-
dent Lincoln, and the observance Of
Thanksgiving by the nation has now
become established.-United Presby-
terian.

Tho Walters and Dayton families
had long been on the best of terms, so
Irma felt free to greet Keith very
cordially ut the close of the service.
college seems to agree with you,
Keith" said Irma, after the first greet
ing was over,
Indeed it does-especially the jun
ior work. Oh Irma, you ought to be
n college girl-youll never know what
fun is until you are"
"Oh, pshaw, Keith I'm going to
have some fun this very day. See my
slsates?" And Irma disclosed them
underneath her cloak. I'm going
out to the millpond. Won't you come,
too?"
Delighted Only must go home
for my runners; didn't know there
was skating. l guess mother will let
me go-won't you, mother?"
Yes, my boy-but don't venture
where the ice is unsafe. It's early in
the season, you know"
mo fear of my getting drowned if
Irma will only take care of me-" said
Keith gayly.
He left Irma ut the church door,
after securing from her the promise of
:he first skate.
"Yes, if you'll hurry" said Irma
Then turning, she saw Archie Hem
bricks at her elbow She bowed
calmly, but her brothers taunt of the
morning still tingled in her ears, and
she was not inclined to be as gracious
as usual to her old friend.
Archie Hendricks was a sterling
youth-physically, morally and fnen-
cially. He was junior partner in the
firm of Hendricks & Son, iron found
ers. Many a doting Marysville mother
had him in her mind as prospective
son-in-law. By nature reserved, he
seldom courted the society of the
gentler sex, and, although he was a
frequent caller at the Dayton home
stead, he never paid marked attention
to Irma. However, Irma's secret adj
iniration for him was great, and Archie,
from admiring her beauty and unaf-
fected brightness, was drifting into
deeper feeling, which he apparently
did not care to check.
The cordial greeting between Keith
and Irma had nettled Archie, he knew
not why. So his manner was cool
when he lifted his hat and said:
off to the pond?"
yes; they say the skating is splen-
did. Are you going?"

Is not pressing. The illustration ac-
entirely of home manufacture,
which the writer remembers to
have seen illustrated twenty years or
SO ago, but which many young farmers
of to-day may never have seen de-
scribed or in practice. The ditch is
dug with fiat bottom (flat from side
to side), and of sufficient width to
place three logs in it in the position
shown in the cross-section. The two
lower logs may well be pinned to-
gether. as suggested, for in such
drains, and in stone drains, the ten
dency is for the sides to settle together
by the pressure of the earth above and
at the side of them. Secured in this
way the three logs must maintain the
same relative position, with reference
to each other. If possible, let cedar
logs, or rails, o. used, but if these are
not at hand, or if they are worth too
much for such use, if at hand, then let
the next most lasting wood be select
ed. Most kinds of wood prove very
durable when placed in the earth at
depth where they are kept constantly
moist; SO that such a drain will last
and do good work for years. The logs
should fit well together, so that the
earth will not have large openings to
sift down into, and the whole should
be covered with hay, or some such ma
terial, before the loose earth is shov-
eled back into the drain. The earth
will become well packed before the
hay decays.-Webb Dounell, in n. Y.

"Can you hold on s mIa.te longer.
Keith2 Somebody's coming.
That somebody was Archie Hem
bricks. He had been near enough to
hear Irma's first cry of distress and he
was coming now with furious speed.
Yet the seconds seemed like hours to
the waiting pair
Archie took in the situation at a
glance. Without stopping to say
word, but shouting; Hang onw he
sped to the bank and landed, skates
and all, at the nearest fence.
1t was the work of an instant to tear
off two long boards and return to the
river. He went as near as he dared to
Irma.
1.-The ice won't hold me there" he
shouted. Take these boards and lay
them in front of Keith; then pull him
up"
He slid the boards across the ice to
her. She did as directed.
Cheered by Archie's words and aided
by Irma and the faithful boa, Keith
crawled forth more dead than alive.
1t did not take long to get him
away from the air-hole, and between
Irma and Archie he was conveyed
quickly to the pond, where there were
plenty of wraps to cover him. In
spite of Keith's protestations that he
was "all right" and "only little
moist" he was bundled off home,
looking more like mummy than a
human being.
The excitement of the day had
eliminated with Keith's adventure.
Archie and Irma stood talking to-
gether.
"Irma, how did it happen you and
Keith got so far away? Didn't either
of you think of the danger?"
"Oh, Archie, he was telling me all
about his ladylove-there I've let out
u secret-but 1 know you'll never
breathe word of it, will you? Be
cause he asked me if l could keep a
secret and / told him l thought
could. So was asking him questions
and guess we didn't notice where we
were. And, oh, Archie! if you hadn't
come when you did, just know Keith
would have drowned!"
"Oh, you would never have allowed
him to sink before your eyes. But
I'm glad it was no worse"
$50 am l, but you haven't skated
with me any to-day, Archie"
"Wen, it's not too late yet. We can
take turn around the pond before
dinner time, / guess"
And off they went. They knew that
Keith was we'll cared for, yet neither
spoke for few moments. Suddenly
Archie said:
"Irma, a secret is no good unless it's
divided. is it?"
Il never heard one that was" said
the pretty girl, looking up at him.
well, I'm going to divide mine with
you-one I've been keeping even closer
than Keith kept his, for l have kept it
entirely to myself Do you want to
hear it?"
"Yes, Archie"
at is this: am in love"
Irma did not reply. She merely
looked away.
do you care to know the young
lady's name?"
Irma nodded.
"Well, it is-Irma Dayton"
Irma leaned on his arm without re-
serve. Archie looked down at her.
"Now, are you going to rescue me,
too on this eventful day? Yes or no?''
"Yes, Archie"
Nobody was near them. Archie
kissed the happy face turned up to his
as he said:
"Then this will be the happiest OF
Thanksgiving days!"-Keyes Becker,
