that had linked his name falsely and

scarcely expected to do. i saw nothing
Of him, heard nothing Of him, until, on
the very first day Of my visit here, We
met as strangers.

something very like a sob. There was
silence for q few moments; then Mrs.

for resentment, being innocent OF that
of which you believed him to be guilty,
and perhaps wholly unconscious OF the

able anxiety as to what awkward COM
plications might have arisen there dur
ing his brief absence, he was hailed by

pri es accorded the farmer, after trans
portation and commission fees, are so

better if he hid kept them for home
use.
Good, fresh brown eggs fetch good
price in the market at any time. The
price varies with different localities,
but in the summer season we can get
ten cents per dozen, while in winter
and the great part of fall, the price raises
to a greater extent. If the food is raised
for the flock on the farm, the expense of
keeping is reduced to a considerable
extent. If large family be literally
supplied with fresh eggs and frst-class
poultry, that in itself should be consid-
cred as equivalent for the food supply
of the rest.

one hundred hens, and the profit on
them was 81 90 per hen for eggs alone;
besides this | raised some three hundred
young ones most of these being sold at
home to the hotels, restaurants and
groceries. Caring for one hundred fowls
of course entails some extra work, but
the money they bring in will Justify the

Poultry Product.

MOI many farmers are aware Of the
magnitude Of the poultry product of the
United States. The COW is so much
larger than the hen that she is apt to be
looked upon as being more important,
out the facts are, the poultry product is
more Than double thai of our dairy pro-
duct. 1t benooves farmers, therefore,
to ok we'll after the poultry industry,
and to do it rightly a first class incuba-
tor should be used. THE Reliable

& Brooder Co., Of Quincy, Ills, which
has made such grand record at the
Worlds Fair and which has been victo-
rious IN every contest since, offers this
year additional Improvements. This in
cubalor is now on exhibition, IN con-
slant operation, at the international
Cotton Exposition at Atlanta, Ga. They

to the mosquitoes, and they will not
bite the chicken to which it has been
applied so long as it is present. In the
meantime, the mixture is healing to the
affected parts. If applied twice week,
we think, the chickens can be taken
safely through the mosquito season.
When the chickens roost in coops
liberal use of the kerosene inside the
coop twice week will keep up the odor
and keep the mosquitoes away. And,
when the chickens are with the hens,
they can be protected by applying the
kerosene to the hens shanks and wings
twice week.
The same action protects the brood
from lice, as there is no surer lice exter-
minator than kerosene.
In some sections Of the South the
mosquitoes and the consequent sore
head creates sad havoc among the
young chickens. 1t is very discour-
aging to work hard in the spring and
early summer to get out fine lot of
young chickens only to see them drop
off one after another in the fall from the
effects of sorehead or mosquitoes.
The fact that sorehead comes only in
the autumn, when the mosquitoes are
abundant, convinces us that it is the
result of mosquito bites. September is
the worst month, and kerosene is the
best remedy, modified by lard, when
applied directly to the sores.-Southern
Cultivator.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-09-11
Mosquitoes and Chickens.

In The South, September is bad
month on young chickens, because OF
The mosquitoes. With us, chickenpoX
or sorehead, which we attribute 10 mos
quito bites, is more fatal even than
roup, d disease that comes later IN the
season, when the weather is cold and
wet.
The mosquitoes attack the comDs and
WattleS OF large young chickens, and
go for the little ones anywhere about
the eyes ana Deak. They don't do much
harm to the old fowls. Where the
chicken houses are located in low,
damp places, or beneath trees, and
where the chickens roost beneath build
lngs, as is sometimes the case, the mos
quitoes are the most annoying. There
is no dOuOt, we think, that the sOrehead,
which is chlckenpoX, and of which we
near 80 much in the South, is caused by
mosquito bites, and, as it is very hard
matter TO put the fowls where the mos
Quitoes cannot get to them, som ethipg
should be done to alleviate the effects
Of the bites
good remedy, perhaps the best, is a
mixture of kerosene and lard, about
equal parts, which should be applied to
the head generally, excepting the eyes
only. The odor of the oil is unpleasant

The Improvement of Farm Poultry.

The profit derived from improved
farm poultry comes, first OF all, from
their increased size, therefore, in i'm
proving poultry, you should have two
objects in view. The first is, Egg
Production, the second is, ''Sjze;" and
keeping UGH stock and in such num-
bers as will allow the profit resulting
from the sale of the surplus to pay for
the labor of caring for them. In climates
not extremely cold, plain. COM Portable
house should be constructed that will
accommoda ate, without crowding, one
hundred fowls, may be built with ID
small outlay of from fifty to one HIM
dred dollars, and a flock of this size,
provided their sleeping quar- ers are
kept clean and wholesome and they are
allowed wide range, may be kept
healthy without much hard work. OF
this number, twenty five will easily

them in addition an abundance OF GOOD,

Poultry Notes.


Do not allow any soft food to lie around;
it is liable to ferment and cause bowel
trouble Do not feed more than will be
eaten up clean.
After the young chicks have grown
sufficiently to eat whole grain it is well
to keep cracked corn and wheat where
they can have access to it at all times.
When the little chicks are found droop-
ing around there is something wrong.
Catch them and grease their heads with
lard and you will generally find the
cause.
1t often occurs that the wings of young
chickens seem to outgrow the rest
of the body. When this is the case
it is god idea to clip the feathers of
the wings. 1t will usually be found that
such chicks are bothered with the large
gray louise.
The report of poor matches has been
universal all over the country, and the
percentage of early chicks is very small
We do not believe the fault is always
with the eggs, and often breeders are
undeservedly censured for something
which they have no control over.
The Poultry Inter Ocean says 1.-The
general opinion among fanciers and
breeders in all parts of the United States
is that there will not be to exceed one
half crop Of chickens raised this season.
Unfertile eggs is the universal COM
plant"
This being fact will no doubt make
the price on fine specimens much higher
and breeders who have been so fortunate
as to have plenty Of good birds on hand
will be ''strictly in it, when the show
time comes.
Eggs are shipped to New York from
Belgium. They are packed IN fiat boxes
tlled in with cut straw. The boxes hold
from sixty to eighty dozen each. The
loss by ,reakage is about the same as
those shipped from the West in barrels.
Freight averages from II to cents per
dozen, while they range with those for
Western stock.

Tortured With a Knife,
MASKED ROBBERS FORCE AN AGED
COUPLE TO YIELD.
WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, June 8.

Four masked robbers last night
broke into the home of aged William
Condor, in Gamble township, bound
him and his wife with ropes, and
tortured the husband with butcher
knife. They ransacked the house,
stole every cent Of money in 1t, and
then decamped with a horse and
wagon stolen from their victims
stable.
The Condons, who are reputed to
have considerable wealth hidden at
their residence, live in lonely part OF
the county. Last night at 10 o'clock
they were awakened by sounds on the
ground floor of their dwelling. A few
minutes later four men entered their
bed room, and, after binding Mrs.
Condor down in bed, they carried the
old man to an adjoining apartment
and tied him to a chair.
Then one of the men drew a
butcher knife across Condon's throat
and threatened to murder him unless
he told where his money was con-
cealed.
Condor told where $a2 in cash
could be found. This the robbers
took. Then they forced Mrs. Condor
to tell where she kept her money, but
from her they secured only S.. The
plunderers left the couple tied and
gagged. They went to the stable and
took a fine horse and wagon, with
which they escaped. 1t was after
o'clock when Mrs. Condor managed
to work the ropes loose. She fled a
mile to the nearest neighbor, gave the
alarm, and pursuing party was or
ganized. BY singular track made
by Condon's horse, the robbers were
traced to Montoursville, distance of
IS miles, where the horse was found
in stable.
There all track of the robbers was
lost. Mrs. Condor is reported to be
in a critical condition on account OF
fright and fatigue, while her aged
husband is also suffering greatly.

under date of Nov. 2Sth, as follows
A" Last winter our Oldest boy had the
mumps after which he got cold and it
turned to diphtheria. We did not
think he could get well, and after he
did recover he had not sufficient
strength to walk. He had no appe-
tite and we got bottle of Hoods
Sarsaparilla and he began taking it.
In three days he was able to eat as
we'll as usual My husband had
catarrh of the throat and the doctors
could not relieve him so he took
Hoods Sarsaparilla and he has not
been troubled since. Last spring |

Lemonade is Healthful.

Lemonade drinking is to be en-
couraged, according to the Journal of
Hygiene, which asserts that 1t is the
most perfect of drinks and should be
substituted for tea, coffee and alcohol.
To make it properly and hygienically
this method should be followed: For
a quart take the juice of three lemons,
using the rind of one of them. Care
fully peel the rind very thin, getting
just the yellow outside. This cut into
pieces and put with the juices and
powdered sugar, of which use two
ounces to the quart in jug or jar,
with cover. When the water is at
boiling point, pour it over the lemon
and sugar. Cover at once and allow
to cool.
