FARM AND GARDEN.
ABOUT CHICKEN LICE.
Half Days Hard Work in the Poultry
House VIII Kill Them.

Half Days Hard Work in the Poultry
House Will Kill 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 a 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 supping their
young lives away. Kerosene and lard
when applied is very effective, but they
are very dangerous in their effects. A
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 dust 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 whitewashing 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 perchcs
and give the walls a 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

pretty plumage. Perhaps, however, his
modesty would not allow him to i'm
agine that he belonged to the class of
pretty birds, for he continued to re-
gard me unsuspiciously, unmoved by
my presence, even when l was directly
beneath him.
Right abreast of him was small,
round hole in the mari bank, the
entrance to his domicile, where the
cherished partner of his joys and sor-
rows kept house and home. Just a
couple of feet within she sat, brood
ing over two or three eggs of purest
white.
This bird, with iridescent coppery
hues, that sat so lazily summing himself
above the stream,was the Jacamar (Gal.
bula viridis), whose name is probably
derived from its cry of 'jacamari." He
is about ten inches in length, but his
wings spread II inches in his short
flights after insects in the air. He is a
sweet-tempered, unsuspicious bird, a
dweller by the sides of shady paths and
river banks, loving to look at passers-by,
and doing no harm to anybody. Yet,
just because he has a coat of pretty
feathers, and because vain women de-
sire those feathers in their hats and bon
nets, poor Jacamar's life is III constant
jeopardy, and l doubt if the bird hunt
ers have left many of his tribe alive. !

passed on.
The longer l lived in the forest the
stronger became that spirit of CANA
raderie between me and the birds, until II
became quite repugnant to my feelings
to shoot one. I have passed whole days
studying their habits and haunts, with
out a single specimen falling by my
gum. A. ODER, in n. Y. Recorder.

VERY SHY DANCER.
Stories Told by Westerners of the Antics
of the Sandhiu Crane.

Stories Told by Westerners of the Antics
of the Sandhiu Crane.
The sand hill crane is very bright
bird. A Recreation writer says that
its very name is synonymous of Wig
lance and alertness. 1t feeds on the
treeless plains or in the barren wheat
stubble, where it can see a long way
beyond gunshot. Or one of a flock is
posted as sentinel, and this bird stands
with bill half open, ready to give an
alarm. 1t can be killed by decoying it
with pasteboard figures, cut to proper
size and shape and painted; but mount
ed birds are better. A pit is dug deep
enough to conceal man, the decoys
are put out, and the cranes are shot as
they come over. The best region to
shoot them is in the Columbia river
watershed and south of it in the Pa
cific coast states.
When one shoots bird Of the size
and build of crane in midair it col
lapses, like card house or a tent But
such apparent collapses are sometimes
deceptive, as for instances:
Before l could reach him he scared
off into the air with wheeling flight.
Again he hit the ground with fearful
violence, but again he got on his feet.
Running up, thinking to get him alive
for decoy, 1 tried to tap him on the
head and stun him. He showed fight,
and used my gun as backed off, and
he took to his wings"
The sandhill crane is something of a
fighter of men if wounded, and the only
safe crane is a dead one. Their bills
are long and sharp, and are capable of
putting out mans eye.
The sandhill crane has some curious
habits that make him of more than
passing interest to the student of birds.
Out on the prairies parties of them
have balls in the spring to which the
select birds seem to be invited. These
balls are picturesque affairs, from the
human standpoint. There are curious
dances, which are sort of solitary
waltzes or pretty slow jgs. Sometimes
the birds leap over one another's backs
and flap their wings, giving their pc
culiar cry. Rival birds have fierce duelS
using their keen bills like lances, bat,
tie axes and swordA

PHARAoH USED LOCKS.

Ancient egyptians Could Have Taught
TICKS TO Modern Locksmiths.
When were locks first used? The
earliest ootainable information points
to the time of the Pharaohs; for in
stance, at Xarnak the visitor is shown
the sculp4ored representation of a lock
which i1almost exactly like one kind
OF lock used in Egypt at the present
day. Butthat is very vague answer
to the question. Homer tells us that
Penelope used brass key to open her
wardrobe. He adds that it was very
crooked and had an ivory handle. A
Greek writer, who lived in the last half
of the twelfth century, explains that
such keys were undoubtedly very
ancient, although still to be seen in
Constantinople and elsewhere.
These keys were simply for drawing
back the bolt or bar which ran into a
staple across the door, and for pulling
out the pm which locked" the bolt.
If we exapine the mechanism of all the
earlier locks we find that it is in itself
sufficient tD secure the bolt without the
aid OF a Key to move something; in
other words, the locking was done au-
tomatically3 the key being required

man locks Ike the Egyptian, required

reached the pins. Padlocks also came
into use for securing merchandise to
be carried from one place to another,
and it is worth mentioning that we can
see at the present time, in some of the
countries of the far east, padlocks
made on the exact principle of those
employed in ancient Rome. 1t was
some time afterward ere the projec-
lions called wards" were invented.
This was a distinct improvement, as it
prevented unlocking by any but the
right key.
Various ornamental designs are OBJ
'ervable on medieval German lock
cases, while in the seventeenth century
we have the 'letter lock" $50 called be-
cause, in order to open it, certain let
ters on a series of exterior rings had
to be arranged into a word or COM
bination to which corresponding rings
inside the lock had been set) and some
elaborate designs in keys which are
quite in keeping with the revival of
art. Regnier, French engineer, who
acquired considerable reputation to-
ward the close of the last century, pro-
duced some very ingenious key locks
to open which outside knobs, ETC., had
to be turned to certain marks The
principle of the lever lock was the in

Fighting the CutwOrm

In bulletin from the New Jersey
station it is stated that clover or sod
land is most frequently infested by cut
worms, which are less frequently found
on late cultivated land. The worms arc
especially abundant in crimson clover.
Among the remedies suggested clean
culture is placed first, prominently as
ISOLATED with early fall blowing. APP
plying a top dressing of kainit and
nitrate of soda in the early spring if
corn is to be planted is advised, the
seeding to be delayed until the rain has
carried the fertilizers into the soil.
Distributing clover or bran that has
been moistened with paris green about
the fields is also recommended.

Its Tail Feathers Are Coveted by Fashion

So many birds claimed my attention,
one spring morning soon after 1 had
made my first camp in Tobago, that
beautiful little island in the southern
West Indies, where Crusoe had his won
derful experiences, that hardly knew
which way to turn. Doves in the
thickets, water wagtails among the
rocks of the stream, humming birds
darting through the air in every direc-
ton, pigeons dropping seeds from the
trees overhead, and focks of parrots fly
ing above the tree tops and screaming
in noisy chorus, almost made me lose
my head.
AS 1 climbed the brookbed, going up
the slanting slope of the hill, the tree
ferns met above my head and the sun
light filtered through them in a golden
shower, while the water fell from rock
to rock with metallic melody, and the
birds about seemed ready to burst with
melody. Perched upon a dry stick pro-
jecting from a steep-sided mari bank

THE ORGAN BIRD.

He Is the Most Remarkable Songster of
the Amazonian Forests.
The banks of the streams in the vicini-
ty of st. Paul's, in the Upper Amazons,
in South America are dotted with
palm-thatched dwellings of the Indians,
all half-buried in the leafy wilderness,
the scattered families having chosen
the coolest and shadiest hooks for their
abodes. The traveller frequently hears
in the neighborhood of these huts the
organ bird, the most remarkable
songster by far of the Amazonian for
ests. When its singular notes strike
the ear for the first time, the impression
cannot be resisted that they are pro-
duced by human voice. Some musical
boy must be gathering fruit in the
thickets, and is singing a few notes to
cheer himself. The tones become more
t1uty and plaintive. Sometimes they
resemble the notes of a f1ageolet, and
The traveller is almost persuaded, in
spite of the absurdity of the thing, that
some person is playing that instrument
in primeval forests. However closely
he may scan the neighboring thicket
no bird appears, although the voice
seems to be that of some one near at
hand.
The bird is rarely, if ever, heard in
the Lower Amazons. 1t is the only
song-bird that makes an impression on
the natives, who sometimes rest their
paddles while voyaging in their small
canoes along by the shady upstreams as
if struck by the mysterious sounds

usually impassive natives to pay to the

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 ia
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

Almost anything spread thinly over
grass lands will help them. Even ma-
terial not very rich and which itself will
not grow good crop will make the
grass grow better, because it acts as
a mulch for the grass roots beneath.
The washings of poor uplands will fer
tilize the richer soil of the valleys be-
low. But except where top dressings
can be thus done naturally by irrigation
1t will not pay to top dress with poor
material. The labor will be too great,
and it will trample and cut up the
grass too much unless the fertilizinR
material is put on during the winter.

woman whose life is full of thought
for others has a peculiarly young and

this by saying: 81 will work for the

will not care for them in our ordinary
acceptation of that term. l will not
care for myself. By that l mean that
i will not brood over any trouble what

to remove it, but it shall not steal into
and corrode my mind with worry. That
