the Trullinger electric plant started its
wheels in motion. Today Astoria has
one Of the most complete electric light
ing plants in the northwest, and under
the most efficient management. The
progressiveness Of the owners is well
known, and it remains to be seen what
another decade will do in electric light

FARM AND GARDEN.
ABOUT CHICKEN LICE.


Half . Days Hard Work In the Poultry
House Will xiii Them
The season is now approaching when
chicks will be troubled with these pests
The first signs of lice are with the early
sitting hens. From their nests whole
house will soon be overrun with them
Chicks show the presence of lice very
quickly, and lice are certain death to
them, ii not protected. The hen should
be set IN a movable box, which should
be- thoroughly cleaned and white
washed before she is placed in it. Put
two Or three coats of whitewash on
every interior spot in the building: lice
harbor in the crevices of the rough sid
ings, and on the under side OF the
perches.
Let the fowls have dust box, for
whitewash and the dust box are the
surest preventives of lice. Hot ashes
should be mixed with the dust occa-
sionally to dry it. If this has been done
before spring laying and sitting begins
you will have no trouble with lice. So
many farmers neglect their poultry
house in the spring, and long before
tLey have thought Of lice the pests are
busy on their chicks sapping their
young lives away Kerosene and lard
when applied is very effective, but they
little castor oil on the head and under
the wings of sitting hens is also very
effective. When the chicks are removed
from the nest, each one should be
creased on the head and under its wings,
even if you do not think it has lice.
If possible, have some dus. in the coop
with the brood hen. If you want your
fowls to be free from lice you must keep
their habitation clean, and the best way
to do this is by changing the contents
OF the nest and embarrassing the apart
ments. One-half day spent in clean
ing the chicken house will do wonders
for the chickens / am speaking of the
average farmers poultry house, as it is
the one neglected. Remove the perches
and give the walls thorough white
washing. Place clean gravel or dry
earth on the floor and replace the old
perches with new ones and your fowls
will not seek some tree or fence for their
summer perch, for they will not be
troubled with lice in their house.-Ohio
Farmer.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Do not overcrowd the poultryhouse-
A close, ill-ventilated house is foul
house.
Nothing tends to engender disease in
chickens more than filth in the coops-
A duck fattens easily. This should be
guarded against when they are laying.
Sit the hens in a cool place and on the
ground, as the weather begins to get
hot.
Too much linseed meal will make
the hens too fat, but small quantity is
healthful.
Bran should always be scalded before
being fed, as the fowls will relish it
much better.
AS a rule the turkey hens prefer to
steal their nests out, and if the eggs are
secured it is necessary to watch them
More meat and better meat in a
shorter space of time can be produced
from poultry than in any other way

Best mode of rethertn<.

This is the time of year when it is
quite common to tether animals out to
grass A decided improvement upon
the usual method of doing this is to at
tach to the halter strap three or four
feet long with ring in the end This
ring is slipped over a wire, which is
stretched across the grass plot and
fastened down near the ground ar both
ends. A No. 9 wire is sufficient, and it
should, of course, be stretched taut and
well stobbed at each end By this
arrangement the animal can browse full
length of the wire, without the danger
always attending the use of the long
rope-that of its winding and tangling
around his feet--G. W. Waters, in jour
nal of Agriculture.

a DISTINCTIVE WEED.
Two Modes of Procedure for the ErDdBen-
ton of Wild Mustard

Two Modes of Procedure for the ErDnBen-
ton of Wild Mustard
Wild mustard (Sinapsis arvensis) il
certainly one of the difficult weeds TO
completely eradicate that visits our
farms, owing to the great power pos
sessed by the seed to retain it's vitality
for apparently an indefinite number of
is branching in its habit of growth and
attains the height of one to two feet,
according to soil and season The
young plants resemble radishes and
fall turnips- The blossoms are a bright
yellow, hence they can be seen from
afar. The seeds resemble those of tur-
nips, cabbage and rape, and they ripen
at any time from the end of June on
ward until the season of frost arrives.
This plant grows in all kinds of soils
and in any climate possessed of suf1i-
cient moisture to mature grain. But
it has particular affinity for sandy
loans and prairie soils. 1t grows amid
all kinds of grain crops, but is not very
troublesome in winter wheat, winter
rye, meadows or pastures This arises
from the fact that it cannot withstand
frost. The seeds are distributed along
with those of the various spring grains
through the agency of water and wind,
and to some extent through that of
birds Flax seed is frequently the me-
dunn for carrying wild mustard seed.
