A subscriber at Shongaloo, Miss,
wants remedy for gout or scaly legs;
also best means of exterminating fieas.
AS regards scaly legs, the remedy is
simple. The disease, if such it may
be termed, being caused by small
parasites that bury themselves under
the skin and lay eggs there.
The feathered-leg fowls are most
subject to the affiiction, but even they
can be kept free of it, if little care is
given.
After the rough scales have ap-
peared, catch the birds and wash the
legs thoroughly in warm water and
soap-using brush. if necessary.
After this, rub the legs with mixture
of one part sulphur and three parts
lard. Repeat the operation daily for
three days and the scales will disap-
pear. A few drops of kerosene added,
will hasten the cure, but if used too
freely will burn and irritate the flesh
A friend of this paper suggests an
application daily of pure apple vinegar,
and says he has tested it with perfect
satisfaction.
If the roosts are given coat of
Kerosene every month throughout
the season, not case of scaly legs
will appear. :,

The Short Check Rein.

To keep a horse from putting his
head down and eating or trying to
find something to eat-for, no differ.
ence how well the horse is fed, when
he is harnessed and taken out he is
ready for bite of grass if attainable,
and that is not always pleasant-the
check-rein is the resort, though many
times when using team on the road
the check-reins are dispensed with.
prefer the side checks, as they are
far more agreeable to the horse and
will even better prevent the horse
from putting its head to the ground
than the over-check when both are
loosely used.
The over-check wears off the name,
presses down on the head and helps
to keep it hot and sometimes makes
sore places and mars the horses face.
But the over-check may do if it is long
enough and does not have a separate
bit for it.
Some horses are so physically con-
structed with the neck high up on the
shoulders that their head is high
enough without check rein, while
others may have q low neck and not
carry the head well up, and no amount
of check-reins will add any grace to
their movements or beauty to their
carriage.
To see a horses head drawn up out
of its natural position looks OUTLAW
dish, at times the hot sun blazing
down in their eyes so they cannot
well see where they are going, and
they travel high, something after the
style of blind horse, and they soon
get to travelling heavy; then their
spring, activity and elasticity are fast
leaving them.
A horse with short check-rein is
invariably q slow walker and doesn't
care to trot unless urged-and who
can blame him?-and yet L have
often noticed that all the short check
reins don't belong to the ungodly.
Kind reader, did you ever think that
when man was given dominion over
the beasts of the field that it was ex-
pected he would torture the faithful,
hard-working animal with the short
checkrein? And to see horse with
two bits in his mouth, holding lips
apart, the saliva drooling out, the
tongue dry, the lips chafed, gives
them very uninviting appearance.
My best plan to make a horse have
graceful carriage to the head is. a
few more oats, or, if he is getting
enough of them, arrange for a little
less work and get things in balance
again as soon as you can.
In a natural position is when the
horse appears at its best; it is then
he is best prepared to travel or pull
loads. In fact, find nothing in
particular to recommend the over
check above the side-check, not even
the.cost of them, for see by consult
ing some lists that the over check costs
twenty per cent. more than the side,
check. L. G. Green, in Farm, Field

ODD DUCKS OF PORT TAMPA. :
Of the Wild Variety, They Respond
Readily to Mans Call.

The most interesting thing at Port
Tampa is the duck. Port Tampa is a
collection of piers, but there Is a hotel
built on piles that are dressed in sewer.
pipe trousers to keep the teredo away.
No shooting is allowed around the
grounds or the piers, and, of course,
not little stuff Is thrown from the
hotel that is good food for ducks, pelI.
cans and gulls. Accordingly these
Dlrds come about the hotel in focks,
and not only are they without fear OF
the people there, but they have learned
to come for food when any one whistles
for them as If for dog.
AT first 1t seems as If the birds come
as readily to the call of one person as
of another, but the fact Is that two or
three people about the hotel are on
speaking terms with them. The birds
know their voices, and are plainly very
friendly with them. At an old boa.-
landing stage the pelicans gather doz.
en- at time, and, sitting there in the
sun, preen their feathers and scratch
their ribs with their long, unga.nly
looking bills. The fact that a lot Of
people are standing six feet away is in
no way disturbing to them unless some
unmannerly fellow pokes them with a
cane. In that event the bird gives the
Intruder white-eyed look of astonish.
ment and utters a protest in a voice
that is so gentle and delicate as to
make one wonder where in the world
such an ungalnly bird got it. Then it
hops its way to safety beyond the piers.
If undisturbed the pellcans often pill
low their heads on their backs and take
nap, but in that position they are
quickly observed by the tourist who
thinks 1t Is fun to make trouble for
quiet folks, and they are quickly shared
by cane-crook and sent Tapping to
the water.
only the smaller ducks come about
the hotel, but they are exceedingly beau
tlful and graceful in their movements,
while the gulls In their dancing flight
are of endless interest. No one has tried
to teach the birds to come to hand for
food, it Is said, but it is plain that any
one with knowledge and tact and love
might establish an acquaintance there
that would enable him to write a most
interesting story about our feathered
brothers af1oat."

The strawberry plantation requires
very heavy manuring to produce its
best yield. Every year on most plants
there is succession of berries, the
first and second pickings being al
most always larger and finer than
those that ripen later. But if the
later season is very wet, as it some
times is, we have known the later
crop to ripen up and be very nearly
as good as the first. This suggests
that in addition to the top dressing
applied in winter there ought to be an
additional fertilization, while the crop
is forming, and this last should be al
ways dissolved in water, so as to be
readily available. Nitrate of potash
is the best manure to be thus applied.
This is saltpetre, and costs five to six
cents per pound. But very small
lump dissolved in warm water and ap-
piled freely will keep the vines fresh
and vigorous to the last, and will
make great increase in the size of the
fruit. The labor of applying liquid
manure is more than its cost, and is
greater than can be generally afforded
for any other crop than the strawberry.

Best Method of Caring For Furs.

This is the time when the careful
hopsekeeper is thinking of relegating
her furs to seclusion, and symposium
on the best method of caring for them
comes in order. A professional storer
of furs declares the keeping of them
through warm weather easy enough if
one only knows how-and that if
women would use a few simple pre-
ventives they could keep them at home
as well as the furriers in their store
rooms. The great secret of keeping
furs is in cleaning them thoroughly
before they are put away. If moth
or moth egg goes with them in closet or
chest, an elegant garment may be quick
ly spoiled. The greatest care should
be taken, therefore, to beat and comb
furs clean before storing them away.
For this purpose a slender, strong
stick or regular fur comb may be
used. If room is abundant, special
dark closet may be given up to the
keeping of furs. In this case, paper
it all over, top and bottom, with tar
paper, covering this with second
coat OF newspaper, to prevent sticking.
Here the garments may hang without
crushing or wrinkling, and from here
they can be readily taken out once q
month and examined. Failing closet,
however-and few there are who can
attain to that luxury-a clean, tight
barrel, or chest, whose interior has
been carefully pasted over with tar
paper and newspaper, will answer
very well. Ii reduced to the extrem-
ity of a pasteboard box, any of the
numerous moth preventives may be
used, care being taken to sew them in
bags or wrap them in tissue paper, to
prevent contact with fur, and conse-
quent discoloration. Washington

An Easy Way to Grow Tomatoes.


The usual method of raising tomato
plants and fruit calls for more work
and attention than the ordinary run
of garden crops demand. Sowing the
seed early in hot-beds, the formation
and care of which is matter demand
ing much daily attention to details.
and the repeated transplanting of the
young plants to render them stocky
and vigorous, all this requires work,
perhaps more work than many very
busy people feel like attempting.
While this care and labor may be need
tul for extra early tomato plants, which
are to give early crops, yet it is en-
tireiy unnecessary for regular crops of
delicious fruit. One can SOW the seed
directly in the open ground as soon as
weather is suitable, or what is still
more easily done, throw all good
specimens of the tomato THAT become
affected with rot or are bruised in any
way, and so untitled for sale) upon the
manure heap. These tomatoes furnish
plenty of seed in tie manure to give q
volunteer crop of tomato plants upon
the corn or potato field upon which
this same manure is used. Plenty of
good, ripe, late tomatoes, as well as
green ones, will thus be grown at
practically no expense.-M. Sumner
