HOW TO KILL CHICKENS.

A novel method of killing chickens
is being introduced abroad. Instead
of sticking, bleeding, cutting the head
off, etc., one takes the fowl in the left
hand by the legs, catching the points
OF the wings to prevent the fowl from
Tapping. He lifts the fowl up, the
head hanging downward. With the
right hand he takes the head, catch
ing the neck between the first and
third fingers, the thumb being on the
face. The fingers must not crush the
head, but must feel the bone at the
back Of the head firmly. Death is
caused by lifting the left hand and
pulling down the right with quick
jerk, thereby dislocating the neck at
the very point where it joins the
head.
Death is instantaneous if done prop.
erly, which can be told by feeling the
neck, which ought to be quite soft and
entirely detached from the head, so
that there is nothing but flesh and
skin between the thumb and finger.
By this method there is no flow OF
blood, but the blood is allowed to run
into the head, which is carefully kept
hanging down until after the bird is
plucked. New York World.

Subject to Electric Shocks.

Mre. Archibald Rankin, living ip
Hickory Township, Penn, two miles
east of Sharon, was subjected to an
electrical shock last Friday that par
alyzed her left side, and she is in q
critical condition. Her case is phe-
nomenal, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. She seems to be q human
attraction for electricity, and in every
electrical storm she is more or less
shocked by lightning. About ten
years ago she suffered shock from o
bolt of lightning that rendered her
powerless. Every year since then she
has suffered, and it ia common oc.
currence for physicians to be dis.
patched from Sharon to revive her. So
regular has this phenomenon become
that she has been provided with o
chair that rests on glass insulators,
commonly used on telegraph poles.
Mrs. Rankin considers herself free
from danger in the chair, where she
remains until the storm is over. When
she suffered the shocG on Friday she
had abandoned the chair, not suspect
ing that she would be subjected to
another shock.

Tho Early Birds.

It's the early birds that catch the worm,
saith the proverb, but what Il foolish worm
it is to got up so early and be caught. Some
OF our farmers are the early birds. They go
forth at dawn to catch up. as they call it,
and they catch something else. Tramping

thus all day thereafter. brings TO scores of
them what they were not looking for. They
come home in the evening to suffer all night
with rheumatism. Now. while men must
work. they need not suffer. Why should
they when a bottle of st. Jacobs Oil will keep
them all rlght2 A good rub at night with it
will so strengthen and heal the muscles they
will resist the influence of the cold and
dampness, and man will be cured before he
knows it. Let this be tried for while. and
il the man is not cured it is only because he
hasn't the patience to rub the pain out.

off the roots just beneath tho surface
of the soil. In some places largo
areas are entirely destroyed, not q
green spear of grass being allowed to
grow. In other localities there are
large spots entirely killed and the re-
mainder more OF less injured, making
the grass very thin where there is any.
These worms are the larvB of the large
brown beetle called the June bug.
The skunks, where they have been
allowed to live, have dug in and eaten
these grubs in vast numbers, the
crows also assisting them greatly in
the good work. Last year the beetles
were not SO numerous as in former
years. owing no doubt to the depreda-
tions of these two agencies.
Skunks do no damage to field crops
to speak of, their only mischief con-
sisting in depredations on chickens
and eggs during the night, and that
could oil be avoided it the farmers
took proper care of their poultry.
There are other depredators that
would seize them if left exposed.
There is no excuse whatever for leav
ing chickens overnight where skunks
can have access to them. They can.
not open doors nor climb up after
eggs in the nest boxes. Instead of
killing skunks for these reasons, q
farmer had better look after his poul-
try.
The skunk will not leave any scent
unless attacked; in fact, they are as
harmless as cats and much more SO
than dogs. I have had them come
into the barn in daytime while I was
at work, passing by me so close that
their long shaggy fur almost brushed
my legs. I fed them every day with
bits OF meal, when they would sit
down within two feet of me and eat it.
They would walk about among the
poultry, never offering to touch one
of them. They kept this up through
the spring until the ground was bare,
when they disappeared. They find
plenty of mice and grasshoppers in
the fields and pastures in some sea-
sons of the year, but the early spring
months while the snow covers the
ground seem to be the hardest time
for them. think the virtues of the
skunk have not been duly appreciated.

CARING FOR pRooME CORN,


The broom corn crop is of vast i'm
portance, and it is quite proper to
give some consideration as to how the
crop may be best cared for.
Quality and condition control the
value of broom corn as we'll rs other
commodities, and best condition can
be especially obtained by following
certain rules and methods in caring
for the crop. Cutting should be done
before the corn is bleached out, as
color is essential, and when green the
brush possesses advantages both in
attractiveness and for working. When
cut corn should be, as soon as posi-
BILE, hauled under cover, and have the
seeds removed by running through the
scraper. This done, it should be
placed on shelves SO arranged as to
admit of free circulation of air. In
about ten days, if the weather is dry
and all conditions are favorable. the
corn will be ready to bale. It should
be thoroughly examined, however, to
see that it is dry and cured.
After the broom corn is thoroughly
dry, the next step is to bale, and this
operation should receive great care
and attention, there are too many
shaky and lop-sided bales received an
nually, and it bothers those who ham
die them to keep them from falling
apart. 1t being Of great Importance
to keep the ends of the bales square
and smooth, the brush should be
handed to the packer in small lots,
the butts of which, having been
evened by striking down upon table
or other smooth surface, and the one
who places the brush in the box OF
the press should take care to keep the
butts up close against the ends of the
box and the brush properly Tapped in
the interior. Use No. 8 fence wire,
five to the bale, and it is not bad
idea to have a lighter wire to tie at
each corner, and press sufficiently to
have good, compact, tight bale which
will endure the long journey and the
handling. No matter how carefully
and successfully every step in the pro-
duction OF the brush has been per-
formed, the profit OF the crop will de-
pend, other things equal, upon proper
baling. Great care and attention
should be given to have the seeds re-
moved; there is too much fraud prac.
ticed by baling up trash, seeds and
crooked corn in the bales with straight
brush. Bale the crooked by itself. =

TREATING SEED WHEAT TO PREVENT SMUT.
CULTURE OF THE HYAc1NrH.

This variety of lily may be grown
either in soil or water. The former
method is for ordinary garden culture,
in which the bulbs are set out in dry
part Of the garden in rich soil, with
plenty of leaf mold in it, and four
inches below the surface. To avoid
danger from hard frosts the bed is
covered with leaves, held in place by
some fine brush or pine boughs. For
water culture, the dry bulbs are set on
the top of glass vase or bottle, made
for the purpose, with the bottom just
touching the water, in late October
and on until December, SO that there
may be succession of bloom through
the winter. After the bulbs have
bloomed they may be set out in the
garden to ripen for the next years
growth. In the garden. this pretty
plant blooms early in the spring. The
bulbs may be set out in the open
ground next month. New York
