A Struggle With Mites.

1t may seem little out OF season for
an article on mites, but an experience
which had last year may be of use to
some one who is bothered with the lit
tie pests.
One of my houses was intended for
a hog house, and is made of rough hem
lock boards doubled.
| had never been trouble d by mites,
and in fact, had never seen dozen of
them in my life until July, 1897, when
one day discovered few of them in
nest box where some chicks had just
Matched.
had heard that kerosene was ''good
for Them" 80 gave them dose, and
thought no more about them for week
or more.
One night after gathering the eggs
and shutting up the chicks in an adj
joining pen, l began to have an I'M
pleasant sensation on my neck, face
and hands, and upon going to the light
l discovered that l was literally alive
with the nasty little things.
Where they came from was mys-
terry, and how to get them off of myself
conundrum. A tub of water and
some soap helped me to get rid of some
of them, and those on my clothes were
put to soak for an indefinite period.
The next morning l started out to
solve the mystery, and such sight as
rewarded my search-the floors and
walls of that house fairly swarmed with
mites, and the cracks between the
boards were full of them.
Now the question was, how to get
rid of them. l tried the kerosene
again, and used ten or twelve gallons,
ly, but all to no purpose.
We could not get the oil between the
two courses of boards, 30 did not kill
them all. The oil soon evaporated,
and then they came swarming out
again, and in few days would be near
ly as bad as ever.
l finally decided that if l could not
kill those mites l should go out of the
chicken business, 30 went at them
again.
Some unslacked lime was procured,
Stacked and made into thick white
wash, as thick as we could spread it
with some old brooms.
Every nest box and roost was taken
out of the way, while the floor and sides
of the building were covered, and the
cracks filed with the hot whitewash
/ We must have done our work well, as
l have not seen mite there since.
All of our small coops were given a
good coat of the same preparation last
spring before we put the chicks into
them, and we have had no trouble with
mites in any of them.
Hereafter l shall not let them get
the advantage of me, but shall start for
my brush and pail as soon as the first
mite appears.-Farm Poultry.

perature is at zero we get one-fourth
more oxygen in breathing than we do
when the air is 100 above zero. Accord
ing to DR.. Kellogg it is not only mis-
take to move away from the cold north
in winter, with its oxygen laden air,
but it is another mistake to shut this
pure life giving air from our homes so
carefully as we do. He asserts that 1t
is great mistake to shut up ones self
in warm rooms. Everybody should Sc
cure all of this precious health giving
air possible. The energy stored up
during the three winter months goes
far towards counteracting the debilitat-
ing effects of the heat of the summer
months A frosty air is pure in that
it is free from microbes, the air of per-
petual summer climes being perpetual
" laden with noxious germs. Those
who live in such lands are always in
ferior to those who live in cold climates.
There is much truth in these state
ments, and good bit of comfort for
our northern farmers. No class of
men have a better opportunity to Sc
cure the good there is in the cold win
ter air than they. Let every farmer be
thankful that he does not have to be
shut up in dirty shop mill, or factory,
breathing the dusty, germ laden air;
nor yet in store or office where he has
to breathe the air which has come from
the lungs of a miscellaneous crowd of
customers. Even the out door air of
the great city seems impure, no matter
how cold the weather, except when
there is high wind. Country air is
80 much better at all times and in all
seasons. If farmers only could realize
what luxury their pure winter air is,
they would be far less inclined to envy
the rich city dwelier, whose wealth
cannot purchase for him the fresh air
which the farmer breathes every hour
of his outdoor life.
But these statements of Doctor Kel
logg throw not little light on the
much discussed question of continuous
winter stabling for stock. A COW needs
much more air than man, needs more
oxygen, and yet farmers are taught tc
shut out the air from the stables, tC
make them as warm and comfortable
as possible, and then to keep up the
cows from fall till spring in these close
stables. We think there is healthfu

Utilizing Farm Manures.

1t Ia generally understood that all fer |
tilizing elements must dissolve before
they become plant food. Hence the
more thoroughly decomposed they be-
come in the compost heap, the more
quickly rains and dews will dissolve
them after they are applied to the soil.
My plan of caring for farm manures is
to make three bins by placing posts
boards. The size of these bins will be
determined by the amount of waste to
be converted into fertilizer. Board up
the first and second bins three feet
high. The third bin l make larger
than the others, as it must hold the en-
tire output of compost until it is dis.
tributed.
To prevent waste of the liquid ma
nures by teaching, spread thick layer
ofdry muck, peat or marsh sod over
the bottom of the bins. This will act
as an absorbent. II this is too much
trouble put in layer of coarse grass or
straw instead. Bin No is to receive
all fresh manures, night slops from the
house, ashes, droppings from poultry
houses and pig pens, old shoes, bones
and trash of all kinds. Make bin No. l
general dumping ground for every
thing which can possibly be utilized,
such as dish water aud wash water, I'M
less you have hogs and prefer to give this
last to them. See that the stable ma
nure and rubbish are thoroughly mixed
in bin No. l. BY thus Incorporating
all the trash with the stable manure
you prevent its heating too rapidly,
or burning. Sprinkle lime, or better,
sulphate of potash, over all. This will
hasten decomposition. Keep all the
bins that contain anything covered
with straw, earth or coarse grass to
prevent the ammonia escaping.
Fork over contents of bin No. l lit
tie every three or four days TO thor
oughly mix coarse with fine aud in
three OF four days after bin No. l is
full fork it all over into bin No. Q, then
proceed to fill bin No. l again. When
bin No. is full this time, empty bin
No. 2 into bin No. 8, and repeat the
process with bin No. l. Every plant
that grows in garden or field has a
taste for food peculiar to itself. The
old shoes, bones and even the dead cat
thrown into bin No. and mixed with
the other compost will find its way
to the little rootlets of some plant.
While this method does not make a
complete fertilizer for any special
plant, it makes a most excellent gener-
al fertilizer. We are much too apt to
think of worn. out articles as dead and
worthless matter, when there really is
no dead and worthless matter. An ar
ticle serves as long and well as it can
in one form and then disintegrates only
to allow the individual particles to
come together in some new and often
higher form.-New England Home

air sh ud be got rid of, and people
should be glad to get their lungs filed
with it, should take in big lung fuls of
pure air. 1t is far better to look upon
the cold air as friend, as a sort Of
elixir of life, than to fear it, dread 1t,
shrink from it, and Geek in every way
to shut it out from our houses add
barns. And it is vastly better 10 look
upon the cold winter as blessing than
"a a curse, for most assuredly it is a
good rather than evil. The trees are
resting, all perennial plants are resting
even we may say the earth itself is
resting, getting ready for another sum-
mer's work. God has made the winter
as we'll as the summer and for the best
of reasons. He has given the people
farmers can get it cheaper than almost
any other class of people. Most farm
ers are comfortably fixed 80 that when
the bad weather comes, they are well
housed and very much better off than
thousands of jewellers in cities. They
have time TO read and most of them are
able to provide themselves with plenty
of good reading. All these things are
blessings which should by no means be
despised, and we think our readers will
be glad to be reminded of them.

Cold Comfort.

thoughts turn to warmer chimes with
longing, and the few who are fortu-

er the equator. But the most Of the
people must stay in the cold, and they
need to know what some of the wise
men cay as to the benefit of cold wealth
er. In the current number of Good
Health, the editor, DIR. j. II. Kellogg
discusses "Cold Air as a Tonic" and
gives some good reasons why northern
people should be thankful for having
their lot cast in a land of frost and
snow. Instead of cold being an enc

logg represents it as friend, one of
our best friends, and he gives very
good reasons for this assertion. Cold
is the best tonic, it ale9ses every en-

up oxygen for use during the daytime.

AMERICAN POTTERY.
The Souwelsa Is Almost as Lovely az
 Rookwood.

The souwelsn Is Almost as Lovely ae
 Rookwood.
 American pottery has few peers in these days of Souwelsa and Redwood and the pale, pearly, exquisiteIy tinted glaze ware shown in such graceful de- signs, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. The souwelsa is first cou- sin to Redwood, but Q poor relation, as it costs about half as much as do the symphonies in polished greens and browns It has the same finish, the same designs and tones, but seems to lack the richness of Redwood, all though the difference would not be per- eeptible to the person perfectly sane on the question of bric-a-brae. The enthusiast can tell the difference in the dark, she says. The pale-tinted American pottery is highly polished and the flowers of the decoration seem 10 bloom mistily through the glaze, like flowers seen through a frosty window pane. A nigh-shouldered jar of this ware is softly shaded from palest blue at the top, where it forms back ground for a graceful rose-hued iris, the long, pale green stems of which stand out deiicately against the misty gray below.
