allowed to enter the fowls house; but,
should they get in, the best thing to do
is to pull off your coat and get to work.
Thoroughly clean and whitewash the

on the floor, and rub sulphur through
the feathers and let her sit for "a hours

before the chickens are due use a good
insect powder the same way the sui

handy and the hen will do the rest.
When the chicks are Matched look for
vermin on their heads. If any, rub
small quantity of any fresh grease where
you see them. Do not take the hen
and newly-hatched chicks out of the
nest at once, but let them brood for q
couple of days. Feed the hen-the
chicks don't need anything. Keep the
youngsters out of the early morning
dew until ten or fourteen days old.
Don't feed wet, raw cornmeal to spring

boiled eggs, granulated oatmeal, baked
corncake and millet seed. When two
weeks old shoot the neighbor's dog and

PROF. ALVIN P. BARNABY.

A reporter recently called at this famous
seat of learning and was shown into the room
of the President, Prof. Alvin P. Barnaby.
When last seen by the reporter Prof. Barn

apparently in the best of health. In re-
Spouse to an inquiry the professor said:

me of his experience with DIR. Williams Pink

THE FARMING WORLD.
LIME ON The EARN.
ItE Eject on the Soil should Be
Studied More Closely.

Its Eject on the Soil shouAo bS
Studied More Closely.
Lime is a much used, and very often
at the same time, a much abused ma
terial on the farm. 1t has very i'm
portant role to play, and. # handled
in the proper manner, is valuable AID
to the farmer. There are many who
use this material again and again
with a mistaken notion as to its true
functions in the soil In time, how
ever, their experience teaches them the
true place of lime in agriculture, but
often their lands have been almost
exhausted before they gain their wis
dom. While lime has a value as
plant food. yet its greatest worth on
the farm is due to its physical erect
on the soil itself. 1t is very seldom
that a soil does not contain sufficient
quantity of lime to furnish this ingre-
dent as plant food pure and simple.
Briefly described, the actions of lime
are as follows: If applied on sandy
soil it fills up the openings. makes the
particles adhere closer, causes them
to retain moisture better, to absorb
less heat during the day and 10 retain
more at night. On clay soils it sepa-
rates the particles, making the soil
more porous, thus easier or the pas
sage of water and air, and therefore
makes the soil warmer and easier TO
work Lime also hastens the decay of
vegetable matter in the soil, which of
course renders the nitrogen more avail
able. If soil is sour, an application
of lime will sweeten it. If a green
crop is plowed under, an application of
lime will prevent the soil from becom-
ing acid. There is one effect of lime
that has no doubt frequently been no.
ticed, although wrong conclusions have
beer drawn from it. 1t has often been
experienced that an application of
lime proves very beneficial to clovers of
al kinds. 1t was formerly thought
that the lime itself was the only fer
tilizer needed for the clover; it is now
known, however, that the beneficial ac-
ton of the lime upon clover is due to
the fact that the lime liberates other
plant food in the soil, notably potash,
which is of so much Importance in sue
cessful clover culture. It will be seen,
however, that the continued applica
ton of lime along would soon cause the
soil to become exhausted of its natu-
raj supply, not only of potash, but also
of phosphoric acid, and in time the
land would become clover sick, which is
a condition often met with-Farmers'

EXCHANGING EGGS.
A Practice which Is Permitted to
ElOurish Too EreeIH

n FFacuAce winch IL Permitted to
Flourish Too Freely.
1t is not unusual to have a neighbor
request you to exchange eggs with
him, and such neighbor may have been
the first to condemn your enterprise in
purchasing new blood and pure breeds.
As rule every farmer who steps out
side of the beaten path or ventures into
something better is at once cIassed as
crank or a book farmer; but sooner
or later his neighbors will show a will
ingness to obtain his stock if they can
exchange" with him. He must go to
the expense of bringing the stock into
the community, and if ne fails he is set
down as lacking in intelligence; but
when he succeeds he receives no credit.
There is no reason why one should ex-
change eggs of pure breeds for those
from scrub fowls any more than a Jer-
sey calf should be exchanged for one
from u nondescript COW. When eggs
are sold for Matching they represent
something more than their value for
the table. Those who buy them do not
want eggs, but stock, the eggs rep
resenting the embryo young of the de-
sired breed. Any farmer who procures
pure breeds should be encouraged by
his neighbors. as he benefits the whole
ccmmunity.-IauralW World.

KILLING PARASITES,
The Arsenics Are ERcaciOus Reme-
dies for Insect Pests.

The Arsenics Are EHicaciOus Renee
dies for Insect Pests.
State Entomologist Johnson, of Mary
land, says that any of the leaf-eating
insects, such as the apple tree tent
caterpilIars, can be destroyed by any of
the arsenics. Paris green is the best
remedy for the apple worm or coddling
moth. The trees should be sprayed just
as soon as the blossoms fall, while the
young apples are no larger than peas
and in an upright position. A general
spraying should follow in about two
weeks. The paris green should be used
at the rate of one pound to IT'S or 300
gallons of water. 1t can also be applied
to Bordeaux mixture at the rate of one
quarter pound to As gallons of the mix
ture. The same remedy is recommend
ed for the plum curculio. The spraying
should be done as soon as the fruit sets.
For scale insects, such as the San
Jose scale, whale-oil soap should be
used at the rate of 21A to 2A pounds to a
gallon of water. The spraying in this
case should be done while the trees are
dormant, and not when in full foliage.
Late fall or winter is the best time to
spray for these pests. In case of the
oyster-shell bark louise, or the seneGy
bark louise, the spraying should be done
in the spring, and in this case kerosene
emulsion should be used. 1t should be
diluted at the rate of one part of emuI-
sion to nine or ten of water. The time
of spraying must be determined by the
time of Matching of the insects.

could understand Jessie Mainwarinp's
motive, but there was trouble enough
already in my sisters heart, and 1 would
not add straw's weight to it. Besides.
although / thought Jessie heartless in
the matter in question, I did not alto
gether agree with my sister, either.
Sister Margaret's husband, Herbert
Dunwood, had been a prosperous mer-
chant, a good man and the most de-
voted husband ever knew. We were
poor girls. Margaret and myself, and 1
was crippled when child. But Her
bert insisted upon my sharing my sis
ter's luxurious home, and was never,
by word or look, made to feel either
poverty or dependence. When Herbert
died, leaving a son and namesal<e ten
years old, 1 thought Margaret would
lose her reason. Such violent and last
ing grief l never witnessed, and when
she became more reconciled to the in
evitable the anniversary of her loss was
to her sacred day, set apart for soil
tude, weeping and praying.
1t was morbid, it was fostering sor-
row, but it was sincere, and do not ex-
aggerate when I say that Herbert's loss
But our boy, little Bert, with his waving,
brown hair and soft brown eyes, was our
comfort and our pride. He was no para
gon of perfection, but a loving boy,
whose faults were curbed by love until
they yielded to principle, and he grew to
manhood full of intellect and firm in
many virtue that is too often under
mined in the lives of young men of
v ealth and leisure.
He was % when he fell in love. He
had studied law, but his office was mere
ly a pleasant place for his friends to
pass an idle hour, and, in all candor, l
must confess 1 never heard of Herbert's
clients.
Jessie Mainwaring was an empty
headed, cold-hearted little f1irt. l do
not judge her too harshly, for studied
her well. She cared no more for Herbert
than for one of her trinkets, but she
worshiped wealth, and Herbert's income
was a handsome one, and would be
doubled when Margaret died. So Jessie
Mainwaring fascinated him with her
great beauty; she was the most bewitch-
ing blond ever saw. She sang his heart
into her own keeping with voice like a
bird, and an expression in every note
that entirely uprooted my old-maidish
belief that the heart made the power of
song. When he was fascinated she gra-
ciously accepted his homage, and began
to prosecute Margaret. She knew, the
artful little witch, that Margaret's no.
BILE, great heart would never condescend
to trickery, and she was as full of tricks
herself as a monkey. 1t was her special
delight to find out some dislike or preju-
dice of Msrgaret's, and triumphantly
display her power over Herbert, by in
sisting upon some scheme to shock it.
And so, as 1 said, her motive was
plain to me when she chose the ami
versary of Mr.. Dunwood's death for the
wedding day.
Margaret was appalled,, when, gently
reminding Herbert of the associations

connected with the 10th of June, he
answered that Jessie insisted upon that
date. Poor Margaret! Her own gen
erous, broad nature could not compre-
bend the petty spite of her daughter
in-law-elect, but 1, being of u narrower
mind and more gimlet-like observation,
saw right through her.
1 was sitting in my invalid chair, for
/ find it painful to walk, and so my
wheeled chair carried me from room
10 room on the second floor, and did
not speak or move till my sisters sObs
eied away. Then 1 said:
Would not it be wise, Margaret, to
change your anniversary of sorrow into
one of pleasure?-to let the 10th of
June be celebrated as Bert's wedding
day. instead of bringing only painful
memory"
II cannot, Ruth, I cannot" she
sobbed, wringing her hands. You
know what he was, and how we loved
each other. Why may not one poor day
out of the long year be his? | cannot
go to wedding-even Bert's wedding
ON that day"
But she did go. Fools are proverbial-
" obstinate, and Jessie was no eNcep-
ton to the rule. So, on the 10th of June.
dressed in soft, pearl-colored silk and
white lace, Margaret went to the Main
warnings small house, and, after the
bridal party had gone, came home to
fall fainting on the floor and rave all
night in delirious fever. Upon one point
she had been firm. She would not have
the wedding, as Jessie desired, in her
magnificent parlors, and the bride was
enraged, because her own home was
poor and shabby, and she wanted TO cut
q great figure at the very beginning.
She never forgave Margaret for her
frmness on this point.
1t had been settled that we were all
to form one household, for the great
mansion could well spare suites of
rooms for the young couple, and the
family would meet only ut the table.
But Margaret soon had reason to regret
her generous desire to save Herbert the
expense Of q separate establishment.

SCATTERING CLOUDS.
American Rainmakers' Plan Used to
Prevent Storms.

American Rainm0kers' Plan Used to
Prevent Storms.
Possibly it was from noticing the I'M
successful attempts made by the would
be rainmakers in the United States to
bring down showers when wanted that
an ingenious Austrian grape grower
was induced to exactly reverse the
American practice. An account of his
experiment is reported by United
States Consul Stephan at Annaberg.
The Austrian owned extensive vine
yards situated on the southern slopes
of the mountains, in " locality often
visited by destructive hailstorms. At
first he tried galvanized wire, and he
decided to install battery and test the
plan of causing explosions to drive off
the hailstorms. He erected six stations
on prominent mountain SUBMITS COM
handing territory about two miles
in extent. Each station sheltered ten
mortars and a corps of volunteers
handled them. The practical test is
thus described:
Threatening black clouds made their
appearance on the SUBMITS of the
Bacher mountains. AT given signal
all the mortars were fired off and the
continuous detonations in a few mo-
ments caused a sudden reaction in the
movements of the clouds. The cloud
wall opened up funnel-like; the mouth
of the funnel began to rise in the form
of consecutive rings, expanding gradu-
ally until all the clouds scattered and
entirely disappeared. No hail nor sud-
den downpour of rain fell. The same
experience was gone through six times
last summer, and without a single ex-
:eption proved a successful preventive
