SOME TIMELY HINTS.
Observe Them. 10 You Want Eggs During
the Winter Months


1. Get the hens into healthy growing
condition, shrinking, if necessary, to
remove surplus fat, or adding to, if
poor. In the first instance, feed only
on cooked vegetables and oats or bran;
in the latter give more corn.
2. Make the ration one rich in egg
materials. Let certain per cent. of
animal food, meat scraps, meat, meal, or
food of this nature be given daily. One
pint to a pailful of cooked food is
enough.
3. Feed TO promote health rather than
destroy, and temper the quantity. A
wooden pail full of cooked vegetables.
or cooked clover, with two quarts of
mixed ground grain worked well into
the mass, is breakfast enough for 80
hens. Reduce rather than exceed this,
the sole object being to satisfy the
claims of hunger and promote activity
Let the night ration be not more than
one quart of mixed grain (whole) 10
II hens, be so scattered about the ehaff,
leaves, straw or earth, that only kerr
mel will be found at time. This means
that the hens will scratch busily until
dark, and this il is which promotes
egg building. In the coolest weather

POULTRY PARASITES.
The Best Time to Fight Them Is Durina
the Winter Months.

The Best Time to Fight Them Is Durina
the Winter Months.
The principal insect pest of the poul-
try-house, and the chief cause of all the
troubles commonly brought about by
the presence of so-called lice, is little
red mite, which is not louise at all, but
species of red spider. This little pest
is scarcely one-fiftieth of an inch long.
1t has mouth exactly fitted for suck
ing the blood of its host, and it plies its
vocation industriously. 1t is of brown
ish color when not distended with
blood, and has faculty for living " eeks
and months without access to its fuvo.
ite food, and being able at the end OF
that time to do as effective work as ever.
Very often there are millions of these
lice. or spiders, In the poultry-house be-
fore the owner suspects their presence.
Their eggs are very minute, and are
produced in such numbers that when
the insects are thick these eggs will
look like fine, white dust along the
edges of cracks and crevices.
The best time to fight lice is during
the winter, when they are dormant.
The larger sorts can be killed with in
sect powder If 1t is sprinkled among the
piumage of the fowls. The insects
that produce scaly-legs can be killed by
greasing the-shanks thoroughly with
any kind of vegetable OF animal oil.
This should be rubbed into the legs
thoroughly, and worked down until it
gets under the scales, where twill reach
the insects and kill them.
For the red mites heroic measures
are necessary If they are present In any
considerable numbers. The perches
and all nest-boxes or other inside fur
nishings should be removed, and then
the whole inside of the house should be
drenched with boiling-hot water, after
which 1t is good plan to paint the in
side with kerosene, and then thorough
ly whitewash the house inside and out.
The perches, nest-boxes, ETC., should be
treated In the same way before being
replaced.
Two or three such treatments will
about destroy the whole brood. as they
only commit their depredations at
night, retiring into hiding during the
day. Lice and mites are the curse Of
poultry-keepers, and only radical meas
ures will keep them down.-Farm and

facilities for advancing his family So

TO convince society that it may receive

the popularity of the bird by taking
some little notice of it; but here 1t will
remain for all that. 1t is an odd fact
that all the Vanderbilts are partial to
