Oyershirts for Stable Use.

There is much dirty work about the
stable, which, together with hairs from
animals, will make the clothes dirty
and extremely offensive. 1t is the
habit of some men who take pride in
their personal appearance, as every
one should, to have made two stout
shirts, one Of which can be slipped on
quickly before the stable work is done.
This prevents the necessity Of carry
ing stable odors into the house. Most
of the chores about the stable are done
before breakfast, and there will be a
better appetite for the first meal of
the day if stable odors are kept out
Of the room. 1t will also effect a great
saving of clothes to keep them free
from these odors, which require fire.
Ouent washing to remove.

each and some small pans for 10 cents.
A small hole was made in the bottom
Of each pail, which was then filled
with water and set in the middle Of a
shallow pan. A board cover was placed
on top. A space Of one and one-half
inches between the pail and the outside
of the pan is sufficient. This allows
plenty Of room for drinking, but the
young birds cannot get into the water
and foul it, Care should be taken to
have the hole In the bottom of the pail
quite small.

Cheese StraWS.

Cheese straws are delicious at pic
mic. TO make cheese straws, roll out
scraps of puff Iaste until very thin;
sprinkle with grated cheese, the sharp
err the better; dust with very little
cayenne or paprika. Repeat three
times, then roll out one quarter of an
inch thick, cut into strips one-half OF an
inch wide and four inches long. Lay on
an INCREASED pan and bake very pale
brown in a moderate oven.

Potato Disease i'm Ireland.

The disease which is destroying the
potato crop in Ireland is known as
''Phytophora infestans," and prevails
more on moist soils than where the
land is dry, though ory soils are not
free from the disease. 1t generally
affects the tubers late in the season,
and frequently the attack is sudden
and fatal. 1t begins as single spot
on the leaf, spreading to the entire
plant, prevailing mostly during damp
weather. Where the potatoes have
been sprayed with Bordeaux mixture
the disease seems to be checked.

stock yards at Fort Worth. The meth
cd is to swim the cattle through a
large tank containing a mixture
which it is hoped will destroy the
ticks ON them. These experiments are
made by dipping the cattle infested
with ticks into a carbolic preparation,
"chloro-naphtholeum," manufactured
by New York company. To properly
make these interesting tests required
the building of special pens and shoots
and large vat to contain the chemical
for dipping.
The actual work Of dipping the cat
tie is interesting. They were driven
by way Of shoot into the pen at the
head of the vat. From this they were

Rats.

A correspondent suggests method
of getting rid of these pests, that has
the advantage of having been most
successful in his own case. It is to fill
their holes with chloride of lime and
oxaifc acid; when a violent disengage
ment of chlorine takes place, their
holes are filed with this gas, and they
are suffocated.

best farces. Mr.. Hoyt has also included a
number of pretty girls in the cast, as is his
invariable custom. Mr.. Hoyt has recently
