KEROSENE FOR LICE.

Here is the way our contributor, 81.
B. Geer, uses kerosene to kill lice or
10 keep them from little chicks: First,
before setting a hen, we clean out the
nest box and sprinkle the bottom and
sides OF it inside with kerosene oil.
Then We put in fresh straw and the
eggs, and 80 set the hen. But We put
no kerosene on the straw about the
eggs, and none on the hen.
When the chickens are first hatchea
ne take the coop and sprinkle it with
kerosene just as We did the nest box.
Then We put some dry dust in the bot
tom of it. We take the hen and rub
her shanks With d soft rag saturated
With the kerosene oil. We also rub
her feathers under the neck-hackle,
about the roots Of the tail, and just
little bit lightly underneath the wings,
with the rag filed with the odor Of the
oil, but not heavily saturated or drip
ping. We put no kerosene and no
lard or oil Of any kind directly on the
little chickens. In fact, We have never
creased or ciled the heads Of dozen
young chickens in all the days of our
life.
The sprinkling Of the interior of
the coop with the kerosene once E
week thereafter will keep the brood
free Of lice. The same precaution
will protect the chickens after they
are veaned, SO long as they roost in
the coop.
There is no question about kerosene
being the best remedy for lice aud
mites. and in all Or experience with
it we have never lost any chickens
from the use of it, when applied as
above suggested. Texas Farm and

A New Die! for Gals and Dogs.

One of the strsngest and most profit

householder that fails to buy of the

Actually 26, 900 horses, played out,
MANNED and aged, are killed and cut
I'D in the English metropolis every
year for this purpose. All day long
and al night long the Staying Of these
beasts goes on, and the three or four
establishments that cater to the trade
continually hare their hands full.

pounds of meat, and as 26,OO2 horses

DO YOUR COWS PAY THEIR BOARD?

With the price Of feed at figures
seldom reached, it is fitting that the
farmer should inquire of himself II
his COWS are paying for their board,
writes John S. Shaver. Through
observation, experience and practical
tests, with the aid of a Babcock milk
test, I AMI led to believe that fully
one-third Of the COWS in an average
community will not pay for their care
and feed in al average year, and that
in this year of short crops, such as is
generally throughout the State OF
Ohio, it is quite probable that two
thirds of the COWS aow on the farms
of the State will not pay their way.
Il is important, therefore, that the
Door cows be culled out as soon as
possible, ard the easiest way this CAN
be done is to put them to strict test.
You might churn each cows milk sep
arately and thus find her value; but
it is much easier to weigh the milk Of
each COW, take samples Of the same
and have it tested on Babcock ma
chine. Where number OF COWS are
kept, It would pay the farmer to pur-
chase machine of his own, but where
be does not care 10 do this let him
take samples to some one who has a
machine and have their value ascer-
tained.
Unless COW tests four per cent. or
more she must give very large flow
OF milk, or she is unpr oftable; yet l
have not tested any herd excepting
my own which has not resulted in
finding one or more below 3.2, and III
several instances as low as 2.
Let us get rid of she poor cows be-
fore feeding them another winter on
high-priced feed. Do not ask the
good COWS to pay for their own teed'
