A Few Pointers.

November is rather late to make q
stir among your fowls, but better late
than never" and IL you have foul"
houses bestir yourself and get them
cleaned in good shape for winter. Not
only clean thoroughly, but make them
more comfortable; put a window In the
south and white-wash the walls for
two purposes, to make the house clean
and to make it lighter. If your roosts
are not broad, and on a level, fix them
so without delay. Is your hens bath
Ing apparatus in good order, with a
good supply of bathing material? A
strong, roomy box makes a good bath
tub and road dust makes good material
to I'LL 1t with, but we like some saw
dust, coarse, or fine sand to mix with
1t, as the dust itself is too light to carry
the lice off when the hens shake them
selves after a bath. We have better
success in freeing them of lice when
the dust is not too fine. Sifted coal
ashes make good bath, and the Gin
ders are nice for grit. Don't let the
chicks go into winter quarters with lice
about them, they will repay you by not
laying IL yos do. Haul up a load of
gravel for grit and place a part of it
at least where it won't freeze and so
will be handy to get when the ground
n frozen or covered with snow. Make
lots OF nests, and fill them with clean
nesting material; straw can't be beat
en-; renew II at least twice before
spring. II any Of your fowls have scaly
legs annoint with a mixture of coal-oil
and lard before severe cold weather
comes. 1t is cruel to put 1t on in very
severe weather. Have the roosting
house dry and free from draughts if
you would have your fowls free from
roup. Turkeys are better off to roost
In shed open to the south, than in
house. One of Canada's foremost tur-
key raisers found it to be so to his
cost. Make a warm place for the
ducks to roost, and cover the ground
with lots Of litter, renewed every few
days. If you will need any more ducks
as layers in the spring, get them now,
They don't like being changed around,
especially near the breeding season.
One drake to five ducks, the first of
the season, later one to seven will be
enough. Be sure and have a scratch
ing place for your hens; a shed adjoin-
Ing the roosting house IL possible, but
II not, drive them to the barn or some
building each morning and make them
scratch for their grain in deep, fine lit
ter. Houses need not be expensive.

Chicken Cholera.

So called chicken cholera investiga-
ton will often prove is but an ex-
tensive development of vermin, says
Boston Cultivator. The healthy hen Is
free from vermin. Almost invariably
other ailments, except, of course, colds
and cases OF roup, are mainly due to
vermin. The hens that are infested
with vermin are so debilitated that
they readily succumb to diseases, and
are also more apt to get colds and
roup than hens not infested. 1t is dur
ing warm weather that eternal vigil
ance becomes necessary to keep down
insect pests that abound where neglect
allows them to once get a foothold.
Every known device must be utilized
during summer to keep the vermin
pests of the poultry yard in check.
The first and most important consider
alton will always be cleanliness OF the
most thorough nature. Wild fowl
rarely ever become infested with YER
min to any great degree because they
are not confined to restricted quarters
in large colonies, like domestic fowls
Under conditions such as it is neces-
sary to resort to in keeping domestic
fowls the vermin pest takes advantage
Of every neglect. When the summer
season arrives, which is so propitious
for the increase OF vermin in the poul-
try yards and houses, extra exertions
and all known methods must become
the order Of the day. Finely pulver-
lied soil kept under cover will afford
the fowls a chance to indulge in dust
baths-natures plan for Kidding birds
of vermin. II some tobacco dust, in
sect powder and once in awhile pow
dered sulphur, is added to the dust
bath, either will hasten the extermina-
ton of the pests.

Selling Butter.

II there is any one thing that the pro-
gressive dairymen are anxious to have
brought into execution 1t is that butter
shall sell on its own merit, writes E. +.
Brown in Epitomist. The idea of one
person spending considerable time In
producing a good grade of butter while
another goes through the work just
for the sake of getting the work off
their hands regardless of cleanliness,
and then receive the same price per
pound, Is wrong. 1t is on the same plan
that II you grow nice, large potatoes
and l grow very small ones-all COW
cred with the seab-while yours have
been treated to prevent this disease,
that l should exact just as much
oushel for my inferior ones as you do
Tor your good ones. Would that be
right? Even If 1t was justice, could
do such a thing? Could l find a dealer
that would buy them? You know the
/ answer too well. You know that it
could not be done. Yet the grocerymen
pay just as much for the poorest butter
as for the best. This cannot help but
discourage the most ambitious dairy
men to throw off all regard as to clean
illness, workmanship and what other
skill Is necessary to bring about good
results. If the groceryman will pay
Just as much for an article that costs
only one hours labor as he will for one
that costs two hours labor, then he Is
encouraging the careful, painstaking
dairyman to leave off his extra two
thicknesses of cloth when straining his
milk; that 1t is all nonsense TO dust
the manure from the cows udder, Just
as we'll have 1t in the butter, except
that 1t is waste of plant food, for all
particles of manure that get into the
milk go OF the farm. Let us suppose
that all grocerymen would drop out Of
the butter and egg business, and that
some firm in each town would make
that their business. What do you
think would be the result? Don't you
believe that butter would have to sell
according to its quality? OF course you
do, and so do /.

Tidy or UntIdY Packnpes.

A correspondent of the New York
Produce Review says: / have noticed
recently some very untidy packages of
creamery butter In stores here. Just
how the packages became dirty is diff
cult to say. II would seem hardly pos
sible that any buttermaker or cream
eryman would ship such packages. 1t
is not improbable that the transporta-
ton companies handling the butter
might have been careless, either in
loading it at shipping point or at some
transfer station. 1t is nevertheless a
matter which should be carefully look
ed after, as an untidy, unclean package
detracts not only from the appearance
Of the tubs, but often seriously affects
the sale OF the butter packed in them.
Buyers have always been rather partic-
ular to have clean, well-made tubs, but
are growing more so as time goes on
and are reluctant to take goods in un-
tidy packages at top price although the
quality of the butter may be fancy. 1t
is, they say, difficult to convince their
customers that the butter is fancy
when it comes from a dirty package.
