HOW TO DESTROY LICE.
Heroic Measures Are Required to Ac-

Heroic measures Are Required to Acc
cOmplish Success.
The management of fowls in sum-
mer, when the weather is excessively
warm, demands more care than is
usually given. Lice will breed and
multiply so rapidly as to completely
ruin the flock almost before the owner
is aware of the fact. Farmers who
do not give any attention to fowls in
summer, permitting them to roost in
side or outside of the poultry house,
sometimes find their flocks in a con-
dition in which many are sick or
droopy without any apparent cause,
ard they pronounce the disease chol-
era, proceeding to give remedies there
for when the cause is really lice. Not
only will the poultry house be swarm
ing with lice, but also the fences, wood
piles, trees or wherever the hens may
roost, and it is useless to attempt to
get rid of lice on the hens as long as
the vermin have possession of every
location where the hens roost at night
Not only during the day, but through
the entire. night the hens are annoyed
by the vermin, until they become ex-
hausted and begin to droop, finally
commencing to die off, The use of
remedies should be with the view of
removing the difficulty at all cost.
First the poultry house should be
cleaned, and the fowls made to roost
therein, and not outside. Then the in
terror and exterior should be thorough
ly drenched with kerosene emulsion,
adding gill of crude carbolic acid to
every quart of the emulsion before add
ing the water. The point is to do the
work SO as to save labor afterward.
To destroy some of the lice, and allow
them to multiply, is to waste time
and labor. Besides, there are eggs of
lice Matching every hour, and it is es-
sential to kill the young ones as fast
as they appear. To make the work
sure, the house should be thoroughly
drenched every day for week and
once week thereafter. Every portion
of the interior must be saturated
nests, roosts, walls and floors. During
very warm days lice will be in swarms

IMPROVING THE FLOCK.
Why Some Attempts in This Direc-
ton Result DisastrOusIy.

Why Some Attempts in This Direc-
ton Result DisastrousIy.
Quite often farmer having a flock Of
common stock that is well acclimated
and free from disease, but not very
profitable, disposes of them and Sc
cures pure-bred fowls, which he gives
no better care. Having been improved
and made more profitable, partly by re-
ceiving excellent food and care, better
than the farmer is accustomed to
give, the improved fowls do
not thrive. Possibly they are from
high scoring fancy stock that has been
weakened by being over-shown and in
bred. Under his management they
may be no more profitable than his COM
mon stock, while they are more sensi-
tive to exposure and susceptible to dis
ease. He has about as much use for
them as man without dollhouse to
put them in has for dollhouse plants.
This man may become prejudiced
against pure-bred fowls. Had he Sc
cured suitable. farm-reared pure-bred
birds from stock that had not been bred
for exhibition points for several years,
and at the same time had taken more
pains. to keep the hen house clean,
free from lice, and to provide better
food and enough of it, he would doubt
less have secured a greater profit and
have been gratified with the results.
Proper food, says Samuel Cushman, has
much to do withsimproving breed, and
Impressed characteristics cannot be re-
tanned unless sustained by it. Com
mon scrubs endure privation and ex-
posture best, and it is not, therefore, al
ways wise to discard them. 1t may be
difficult to secure really good birds for
useful Purposes.---Western Plowman.

We do not like the barbed wire fence

When the surface bakes after rain, a

you know that u drug clerk must be a

1t is fact that the end of the CEN
fury druggist is confronted with mass
of harassing problems. Thirty years
ago the druggist was on level with
every other merchant and by serving
a proper apprenticeship any boy could
become a druggist just as he might a
carpenter. But after the close of the
civil war, the hospita! stewards who had
acted as assistants to the war doctors
began to open drug stores in all parts
of the country. This raised the ques-
ton of legal restrictions on the right to
dispense, and finally pharmacy was ele-
waited to the rank of a professionals
the druggists like to call 1.-THE sister
profession of medicine.
But the standard of the retail drug
business has huctuated between that
of profession and that of mere
trade. Many pharmacists assert that
their stores should carry no side lines,
but should copfine themselves strictly
to the sale of Drugs and to dispensing.
The temptation to make extra money
has, however, proved too great, and so
our American drug stores, quite unlike
those one finds in Europe, are delving
in side lines galore. On the whole. the
income from soda, cigars, candies and
stationery probably exceeds the pro-
ceeds of the pharmaceutical depart
ment
most lucrative side line, but one
that causes endless trouble, fills the
cups that cheer and inebriate as we'll.

The conversation which ensued de-

been what is called an all-wheat farmer,
and kept constantly sinking into debt.
He decided that something had to be

more, and then he became thoroughly
