roosting poles, and in any cracks. At
night they are sucking blood from the
hens on the perches. 1t is this loase
that causes hens to forsake their house
for the trees. These two kinds of lice
may be entirely exterminated. First,
keep the infested house very clean.
Paint perches with kerosene oil. Keep
them soaked with it so that no louise
can live. Also put some oil on the
woodwork of the nests and all sup
ports of the perches. With force
pump crude carbolic acid diluted with
hot water can be used. Spray the in
side of the house as long as live
louise can be found. This is the cheap,
est and best method
There are also two kinds of lice
that remain on the hens. 1 call them
head lice and body lice. The first, as
the name indicates, ure found on or
near the head of the fowl. They are
responsible for the death of many
very small chicks. Later, the body
lice also kill many young fowls. There
are many ways of ridding sitting hens
of lice. 1 use insect powder and car
bolic soap. First powder the hen
thoroughly and strew handful of
powder in the nest, then take the car
bolic soap and wet her head and neck
with strong suds. During the period
of incubation L make three applica-
tions, the last just before the eggs are
due to hatch.
When the chicks are ready to be re-
moved from the nest, take them to a
small yard and give them the liberty
of the yard, cooping at night. Feed
nothing during the first thirty-six
hours. During the first week, feed
bread soaked in milk. Three feeds a
day will do, but five are better if you
are careful not to give more than they
will eat up clean. Give water to drink
from the first. The second and third
weeks give bread made of corn meal
two parts and shorts one part. After
the third week the feed may be
scalded instead of baked. Have the
meal ground coarsely. 1t will not be
so sticky and will mix more readily.
After a few weeks cracked corn and
wheat may be fed at night.
When nearly half grown feed two
parts of ground oats and corn, one
par; wheat bran and one part corn
meal mixed cold for morning feed
Give whole corn, cracked corn and
wheat at night Feed little animal
meal from the first, increasing it to a
tenth part of the soft feed by the time
the chicks are half grown. Give free
access to ground rock at all times

Fence Corners and Thickets.

Fence corners that are allowed to
grow up in dense brush and sprout
growth bespeak the lack of energy and
push in the man whose farm it is.
At this time of the year such fence
corners may be cut out and made to
look like the fence corners of the
twentieth century farmer. Rail fences
which run through dense wood are
the hardest to keep clear of brush.
When there is no snow on the ground
two men with brush scythe and axes
and pitchfork can dispose of the brush
very speedily. OF course, this simply
clears it away for a short season; in
the spring the young branches come
out, and by fall make strong sprouts
again. But the treatment has to be
given each winter else the sprouts and
brush will be more stubborn than at
first. And on most farms there are
several small or perhaps large bol-
lows, on either side of which Is
heavy growth of brush. In tie man
ner above described this may be ex-
terminated. If the land near the hol-
low be rolling, and therefore liable to
wash, the brush when cut should be
piled in the mouth of the
ditch so as to catch the dirt
and trash that may be washed therein.
This will in the course of few years
entirely fill up the ditch. If the sides
of the hollow are not too uneven,
plow may be used on them to good
advantage in the spring A new
ground plow, with a sharp cutter at
tached and steady team, should be
used. Plow pretty deep, so as to root
out the roots. After plowing give
the ground thorough narrowing with
a large-tooth harrow. The ga" har-
row is what I use. The narrowing
will get most of the roots near the
surface and scatter them, after which
gather them and put in piles, and when
dry set fire to them. This does the
work admirably. A lasting carpet is
made On the plowed surface by SOW
ing thereon in the spring mixture of
lawn grass seed, which, of cohrse, is
pretty we'll mixed with timothy seed.
Each spring the sprouts have to be
cut. A few sheep will cut them down
and keep the buds nipped off.-"Mis-
souri, Farmer" in the Epitomist.

The wider acquaintance the lumber
buyer or consumer has with different
varieties OF woods-with their pecu-
iiarities of strength, durability, work
able qualities, etc.-the more econo-
mically he will buy. Having such
knowledge, he will find sometimes
that the more costly article is really
the cheaper, or he may find that the
cheap articles may, for certain rea-
sons, be as satisfactory as the more
expensive one with which he is ac-
quainted.
To the farmer hemlock, which is a
comparatively new material in the
West, should appeal with special force
because of its peculiar adaptability for
certain classes of construction COM
bined with cheapness. 1t is actually
better for some things than white
pine, and yet can be had at much
lower price. 1t is better for some
things than yellow pine-better, in
fact, for corn-cribs than any other
material.
Hemlock has the advantage of being
both strong and stiff; that is, it is
capable of bearing heavy strain and
of not yielding to it until the breaking
point is closely approached; therefore,
for farming material it is unexcelled.
For mud-sills and in situations where
it is subject to alterations of moisture
and dryness hemlock is found ex-
tremely desirable. Therefore, to a
large part of farm building construc-
tion it is peculiarly well adapted.
In sections of Iowa where it has
been thoroughly tried hemlock is
given the preference for barn con-
struction. 1t is little late in the
season to talk about corn crib material,
and yet the attention of the farmers
should be called to the fact, supported
by much irrefutable evidence, that
rats and mice will not attack hemlock,
and so cribs built of it are rat and
mouse proof, except as the rodents
may find their way through openings
into cribs. They will not make an
opening, however, and this fact should
commend it for this purpose to the
farmers. The Lumberman.

Saving Life by Telenhone.

The total length of life-saving tele-
phone lines is, it is stated, nearly
1000 miles, and there are more than
200 telephone connections at life-sav-
ing stations, halfway places, light
houses and other points in connection
with the service, covering the Allan
tic Coast from Maine to Hatteras
Inlet, N. H. Linemen's work on the
coast is not a pleasant duty, the trips
being long, with dangerous inlets to
be crossed, and there is but little shell
ter on the beaches in stormy weather.
The one man who has charge of the
100 miles of the North Carolina section
has to make most of his trips ON mule
back. At some points on the coast of
Cape Cod the halfway places are CON
nected by telephone with the main
line.
The designation of ''half way" is ap-
piled to place about midway between
two life-saving stations, where the pa
trolls meet and exchange checks during
the night watches. The object in con
Meeting the halfway places is to ena-
BILE the patrols to send in an alarm of
wreck or report vessels that may be in
distress in the vicinity of the halfway
place without having to run back
through miles of loose sand, and per-
haps in the face of gale, to notify
their station. Many time when, in
the old days, this had to be done, the
ship and crew were under water be-
fore help arrived, that now would have
been saved.-Philadelphia Inquirer

Eyes Not Necessary.

Eyes are popularity considered to be
quite necessary to sight but this is an
error, If we are to believe DR.. Nagel,
a recent German experimenter. Many
creatures without eyes can see; at
least they can distinguish perfectly
well between light and darkness and
even between different degrees OF
light. This is the lowest degree of see.
ing, to be sure, but still it is really
sight, and differing scarcely more from
the vision of some insects that possess
eyes than this does from our own clear
sight.
Creatures that see without eyes see
by means of their skins. All skins, says
Or. Nagel, are potential eyes; that is,
they are sensitive to light. In animals
that have eyes the sensitiveness has
been highly localized and greatly in.
creased-so that man, for instance, has
a retina very sensitive to light, and an
expanse of ordinary skin which pos.
sesses a sensitiveness to light so slight
that it is hardly conscious of it. Yet
his skin Is sensitive in some degree,
as is proved by the fact that 1t sunburns
that Is, light may cause a disturb
ance in the pigment of the skin just
as it does In that Of the eye. In the
eye the disturbance is accompanied by
a nervous change, which sends tele-
graphic message along the optic nerves,
and there are messages, also, but theis
tidings imprint no image on the mind;
they simply express discomfort-cry
out "sunburn."
But in many eyeless creatures the
lack Of eyes is in part made up by in
creased sensitiveness of the whole skin
surface to light. Darwin long ago no
ticed that earth worms, although they
have no eyes, will suddenly withdraw
into their holes at the approach of
lighted candle. Some creatures seem
most sensitive to sudden increase of
light; others to sudden diminution.

The following was written for the
Breeders Gazette by j. r. Standley,
of Taylor County, Iowa: Pure bred
Angora goats are scarce. For killing
brush and weeds the grade goat is as
good as pure-breds. Grades are pro.
cured by using pure bred bucks on
common goats. The first cross makes
but little hair-about tbree-quarters
of pound; the second cross about one
and half to two pounds; the third
cross about two to three pounds while
the fourth or fifth cross is for hair
about as good as pure-breds. Any one
desiring to make goat-breeding bust.
ness for profit should buy grade does
and pure-bred bucks and continue to
breed to pure-bred bucks. The An.
CORA goat-breeding business is much
the same as the cattle or hog business
as regards blood. High-grade cows
or sows, if bred to full -blooded sires,
are about as good eas pure-breds for
beef or pork, but to breed to grade
sires is to go backward instead of on
and up.
The pure-bred Angora varies much
in weight of fleece, running all the
way from two and half to ten pounds
per head. OF course these are ex-
tremes. A good average fleece is four
to five pounds. The hair is at this
time worth about fifteen cents to forty
cents per pound-this is grade hair;
pure-bred hair is worth from twenty.
five to forty cents.
Angora goats mature about the same
time as sheep and require much the
same treatment. They breed about
the same-the time of CESSATION is the
same. The weight for grown does is
about seventy to eighty pounds-some
weigh more and some less. High
grade wethers attain weight of 100
pounds often and bunch of choice
ones will clip seven to ten pounds of
hair on an average each.
The Angora goat in fleece pays about
twenty per cent. more than sheep, and
for cleaning qualities there is no com.
parison between them.
Angoras and sheep do well together
and never cross breed. They do not
do well together in winter (the goats
hght the sheep, but when at pasture
they are all right. The goats eat
leaves and weeds in preference to
grass, thus removing the shade and
improving the pastures.
Angora goats are grown largely in
Southwestern Texas, in New Mexico,
California and Oregon. There have
been about 10000 distributed in Iowa
this season.
The meat of the Angora is by many
thought to be nicer than mutton. The
wethers or does if fat sell better than
sheep, for the reason that the meat is
equal and the pelt is worth much
more. Angora goat pelts taken in No
vember or December are worth from
81 to 50. 80 each and are being worth
more every year as people learn their

Bran ssis excellent for poultry and
me point in favor of bran is that il
contains much larger proportion OF
lime than any other cheap food derived
from grain, and as the shells of eggs
are composed of lime it is essential
that food rich in lime be provided. II
nay be urged that the use of oyster
shells will provide lime, but it will be
found that it is the lime in the food
that is most serviceable, because it is
in form that can be better digested d

shells or other mineral matter as o

the shells of eggs. Do not forget that
in summer, however, the uss of all
kinds of foods should be made with
judgment. If the hens have a free
range give no food at all as long as
they are laying, but if they begin to
fall off let bran be leading ingredient
of the foods allowed. In winter the
