Sassafras Oil Knocks Them.

Yes, sir, oil of sassafras will kill lice
on old and young chickens, and if you
think it worth Publishing | will give
your readers some more of my expert
ence with the oil.
All who are raising chickens know
that the greatest trouble with young
chicks is the large gray head louise, which
kills more chicks than any disease they
are afflicted with.
l have been a reader of the Poultry
Keeper for some years, aud have the
greatest confidence in the paper, and
have derived great benefit from the
reading of it, but l cannot agree with
some of its readers who are advocating
the use of lard to kill lice on the little
chicks, as | have killed about as many
with the lard as | have saved from lice.
For little chicks the sassafras oil beats
any patent medicine yet invented. At
ter finding that the use of the oil in the
food would kill the best on grown chick.
ems | tried it on chicks. Whenever |
set a hen l give her every third day ten
drops Of oil 10 a little bran or meal until
she is through setting. As soon as the
chicks are two days old, l give the hens
and chicks a fourth %teaspoonful twice
a week. l have at present fifty tive
chicks five weeks old, and they are the
finest looking lot l ever had. prefer
sassafras oil wei anything | have evel
tried for lice for the following reasons
First, it is no trouble at all to use it
as it is given in the food; second, Their
is no danger of killing any chicks witt
it; thirdly there is no handling Of tn
chicks, one by one, as in other cures
) Your suggestion of using the oil in tn
kerosene emulsion was excellent.
! tried it as soon as l found it would Xxi

At the meeting of the directors of
the New Mexico Railway and Coal COM
pany held at their Office in New York
the other day, it was voted to commence
at Ouce the construction of the rail-
read from Ell Paso, Texas, to the Salado
coal fields of New Mexico The length
of the road when completed will be
l65 miles The new coal field is 400
miles nearer the market than the pre-
sent supply. The following directors
were present:
Col. Il. NJ. Boise. Hon. L. a Wat
tiers, Thomas H. Watkins, G. d. Simp-
son, II. P. Simpson of Scranton;
Thomas Ford, Pittson: j. Wells Hol-
enback, Wilkes-Barre: Commodore

is the hauling of empty cars over the
road. Every day IoDg trains of stock
cars are shipped empty from points
along the line into Texas to be loaded
there for the return trip. At the same
time trains OF empty freight and coal
cars are being hauled thu other way,
having been sent to Texas loaded.
The new car is a com binatiOn freight
and cattle car, and is the invention of
S. Dunn of New Franklin, Mo, who
has been for several years past a train
dispatcher on the NJ, K. & T. The
cars are very complete and can be ship
ped to point loaded with merchandise
aud when empty, half hours work
transforms it into a cattle car, with all
the modern improvements, ready TO be
loaded with cattle and shipped back.
If this car is adopted it will avoid the
necessity of hauling empty cars in
either direction.
