CLEANING THE PLOW.
How to Remove Rust in Three or Four
Applications.

Applications.
Buy from n drug store four ounces
of sulphuric acid and pour it carefully
into pint of water. Do not spill a
drop of it on the flesh or clothing, as
it will burn like fire. Cork the bottle
tightly. When ready to use, pour q
little on the rusty surface, and let it
soak in: when dry give another coat.
If the plow is very rusty three or four
applications may be required. Scour
off with fine sand and water. Rub dry
with cloth. Rub over the steel a mix
ture of crude petroleum and lard,
equal parts. Set the pillow upon board
floor in Darn, free from rain or snow.
pillow thus treated will scour bright
after round or two, and, with a good
team, the furrow will turn over with
out break. When the pillow is being
cleaned is proper time to examine
the nuts and bolts TO see that they are
all screwed up, and that the threads of
bolts are not so much worn as to work
loose. 1t is of advantage to have few
plain and cutter points and dozen bolts.

1t is not pleasant part of the farm
duties to keep poultryhouse clean,
and in winter it is too often neg
lected; but there is nothing so neccs-
sary to the health of the flock as to at
tend to the matter of cleanliness in
winter, when the fowls are indoors most
Of the time. 1t is much easier to keep
the house clean if a good, thick bed of
chaff or short straw is kept on the floor
constantly, for this can be taken out
easily and renewed in a few minutes.
No poultryhouse should ever be allowed
to become foul and ill-smelling, and no
good poultry keeper ever neglects this
matter.-Farm and Fireside.

POISONOUS HOG BITES.
Antiseptics Should Be Applied to til
Wound without Delay.

Antiseptics Should Be Applied to the
Wound without Delay.
1t is a serious thing to be bitten by
any animal, for even though there may
be no poisonous glands, the saliva in
the mouth of animals that bite is al
ways more or less poisonous. The bite
of the hog is more apt to be serious than
that of any other domestic animal. 1t
requires skill and activity to handle
large numbers of hogs without en-
dangering those who hold them. The
hog is an omnivorous eater, and is not
at all particular about getting particles
of dirt or eXcrement with its food. Old
hogs, which are most apt to bite, often
destroy mice and snakes, and though
they get no venom in their mouths, it
will poison wherever such saliva
reaches abraded skin. No one who
has sore on his hand should be called
upon to assist in butchering hogs, az
be may be infected from contact with
the saliva without being bitten. In all
cases of bite or cut a wash of some
antiseptic should be applied. Diluted
carbolic acid in the proportion of one
to fifty of water is good, as is also a
weak dilution of corrosive sublimate II
proportion of one of the poison to 1000
or 1000 parts of pure water. These
poisons thus diluted do no harm, and
they will prevent poisons from working
in cuts and bruises of any kind.-Ameri.

THE next evening, however, the
habit of returning there to roost was
stronger than fear, and they began
coming in by thousands as soon as the
evening approached. After dark l be-

the birds began to realize that there

third evening only a few returned. A
few last shots put them to flight, and
was troubled no more.
But what do you think those birds
did? My dividing fence runs between
the trees on my property and the trees
on the property of my neighbor, which

home for the blackbirds When the

There was no bombardment over there
and they stayed there ever since.
This was long time ago, but never
since the last Roman candle was fired

on one of my trees. They are 'tabooed
as effectually as though they were on
fire. The great clouds of birds each
morning and evening fly directly over
my trees, going and coming, but not a
bird settles upon a tree that is on my
side of the dividing fence.
Another strange thing is that if any
one of an evening stands in my lawn
and makes a slight noise, as slapping
his hands, there will be the widest COM
motion among the birds in the neigh
boring trees. They become restless
and almost panic-stricken. If, however
the same person crosses the fence and
stands directly under them and makes
twice as much noise, they pay no atten-
ton whatever to him. He can even
shoot up into them without driving
them from their perches.'

what impression those birds have of me
