A Convenient Coop.

[ have new kind of chicken coop this
year which like better than anything [
have tried before, and thinking some
one else may like to try it will give d.
rections for making.
The four sides are made separate and
then nailed together. Use three inch
boards for the frame and nail barrel
slaves to them quite close so that only
very small chicks can get through.
Leave two slaves out of the center of
one side for a door, mailing an extra
strip of board on the outside at top and
bottom of slaves SO that the two loose
slaves will slip down and shut the coop.
Nail the four sides together, set in it a
small size barrel with q square hole
sawed between the top and bottom
hoops for door to the nest, and then
nail slaves across the top OF the coop.
Set the hen in the nest, keep food and
water in the coop and you will have no
trouble about her getting on the wrong
nest or the other hens bothering her,
and when the chicks hatch they will
know where they belong and not have
to be driven around and watched to see
that they don't get in the wrong place.
My coops are four feet wide by five
long,, and the height of a barrel. Cover
the small barrel with large tight barrel
head to shed rain.-R E. M. in Rural
list.

To Tell the Age Of Eggs.

A. R. Frisenberg, OF Dixon, ILL.,, has
communicated the following method for
determining the age OF eggs. The
method is based upon the deere ase in
the density OF eggs as they grow old:
Dissolve two ounces of salt in pint OF
water, and when fresh egg ia placed in
the solution it will Immediately sink to
the bottom of the vessel. An egg
twenty-four hours old will sink below
the surface of the water, but not the bot
tom of the vessel. An egg three days
old will swim in the liquid, and when
more than three days old will float on
the surface. The older the egg the more
it will project above the surface, an egg
two weeks old floating on the surface
with but very little OF the she'll beneath
the water.-Egg Reporter.

Pea Fowls-Their Use.

Certainly they add much to the beauty
OF place, especially the cock, with a
grand tail spread in the sun; it is as
pretty as imagination can picture.
Mine is only full grown and much ad-
mired by all visitors. My hen is now
setting, her eggs are so much like the
turkey egg, no one not much used to
them can tell them apart. Perhaps af-
ter she comes off and raises them can
tell more of them rom actual experience;
can now only give the testimony of
others who have had them longer. One
man said to me, they are the "prettiest,
whitest and sweetest meat ever saw or
ate." They lay five eggs before sit ting,
then you may take them away, and she
will 60 to a new place and lay five more
eggs. But if you do not wish her to quit
the nest never put your hand in it, for
she will quit, even if just ready to hatch.
They live largely on bugs, are small eat
ers of grain except in cold weather, they
eat about like a turkey; they have
habits much like the turkey in their
nesting. I find them good watchmen,
the cock, most especially, he will sit on
the highest point he can reach at night,
and will give his warning cry if any un-
usual noise or stranger approaches will
also fright4n away hawks. The hen

over the plumage; and it would be an
excellent plan to treat every broody hen
in this manner, either before she is placed
on the eggs, or at any rate day or two
previous to the chickens being due to
hatch. For this purpose there is moth
ing better than vaseline, though if to it
is added little carbolic acid, not
enough, however, to liquefy the vase
line, the influence will be greater. Car
bolized vaseline is cheap, and should be
found among the stores of every poultry
keeper. By rubbing the heads and un
der wings of young chickens when about
day old, much trouble might be pre-
vented in this simple manner.-Stephen
Beale, in Country Gentleman.

Dipping Fowls.

A correspondent of the Farmers Voice
says: When boy often helped dip
the sheep after shearing to kill the ticks,
but it never occurred to us farmers that
we might dip the chickens in the same
tobacco water and kill the lice, any
more than it did to the family doctor to
adopt the theory now practiced by all
intelligent physicians, to use germicide
preventives instead of physic cures for
all diseases.
Fill a barrel, say two-thirds full OF
either of the following: One part coal
oil to twenty parts water; one part oil
OF sassafras to eighty parts water; one
part oil of pennyroyal to sixty parts
water; or strong decoction of to cacco,
pennyroyal or sassafras. To mix the oils
with water, emulsify, first, by mixing
with an equal part of hot sweet milk,
or soft soap we'll beaten. To make soft
soap, reduce hard soap to j lily by boil
ing each pound in two gallons of water
until dissolved. Have the bath warm.
Take the fowl by the head and feet and
souse him into the bath until he is soaked
to the skin, head. legs and all, then turn
him loose to shake and dry eff. Dip
every fowl on the premises, then with
spray pump spray the dipping fluid over
all the nests, roosts and walls OF the
poultry house.

Lambs in Florida,

A contributor to Farm and Fireside,
speaking of sheep-raising in Florida,
says: "They are on the range the year
round, and never get any dry feed, either
hay, fodder, or grain, yet they are al
ways fat. Some owners do not see their
sheep for months, and still they do not
stray far. They are not obliged to, for
they find enough to eat everywhere No
particular sheep diseases prevail in the
south or anywhere else where the an
finals can have access to pine browse.
Pine is death to all internal sheep para
sites. A profitable business could be
done in Florida in growing young lambs
for the numerous winter resorts. This
branch of business is now almost wholly
neglected, Hotel keepers cannot get
such lambs for their tables"

The Plague of Insects.

Nothing is more preventive of proper
thriving among poultry than parasites,
when very numerous-(probably there
never was and never will be fowl with
out some of these pests). Poisons OF
various kinds are frequently used, and
to some extent they are effective, but
not nearly 80 much as is commonly sup.
posed. There are certain forms OF
parasitic life which seems to be able to
survive even a dose of carbolic acid.
Lime is much more potent, and if pOul
try houses are thoroughly limewashed
two or three times year, some carbolic
acid being added to the wash, it goes
far to keep down the number. though
in the summer months those remaining
speedily breed enough to be trouble
some. Rigid attention to cleanliness
will do much; the renewal of nests, the
clearing away OF debris generally, and
the droppings in particular, and sweep
ing down the walls from time to time, are
very effective as precautionary measures.
Later observations have shown, how
ever, that Oil or fat offers the best
method of dealing with parasites, either
in the houses or on the bodies of fowls.
1t would appear that thes.. n,:nnte forms
of life are more afraid of oily matter
than anything else, and it's application
is easily within the reach of every one
In some cases have know lump tallow
melted and mixed with lime wash. but
that was with another object-namely,
to prevent the lime coming off On to the
garments of attendants. 1t may have
an influence in keeping down insect
pests, but that has yet to be tested. 1t
is a simple matter to rub the perches
with an oiled cloth, and to dip the ends
in oil or fat, for it is at night chiefly that
the birds are pestered by insects.
When the presence of insects on either
chickens or adults is suspected (and this
can soon be determined by turning hack
the down or feathers, for they will be
seen upon the skin), the simplest plan
will be to anoint the head, under the
wings and thighs with oil, as these are
the places where insects find refuge. But
in addition an oil rag may be rubbed
