Poultry Notes.

In killing poultry all unnecessary
cruelty should be avoided. One would
think such advice to be without
cause, but it is a fact that the modern
way of bleeding the fowls to death
through the mouth and picking them
while they are dying is cruel and
should be abandoned. P. H. Jacobs
says that blow on the head will rem
der the bird unconscious and that the
bleeding will not thereby be interfered
with.
If the hen gets lame anu continues
so it is generally better to sena ner to
the kettle. It has been the experience
of many that a lame fowl stands round
SO much that she gets fat and stops
laying. The queer thing is that she
will be found to have no signs of eggs
in her. This seems to be due to the
fact that the fat has increased to such
an extent that the formation OF even
embryonic eggs is discontinued. Why
a fat fowl should stop forming eggs it
is dihicult to say. but 1t is fact.
Now that the cooler weather Of fall
has come, some of our readers will
think that 1t is Of no use to look for
the red mites that are such pest in
ae poultry house. But now is the

Sheen and splenlc Fever.

In a recent report to the Australian
government on preventive Inocula-
ton Against Tick Fever" by Frank
Tidswell, chief assistant medical officer
OF the government, in speaking of ami
mails that possess natural immunity.
he says:
1T must be admitted that some
doubt exists in the case of sheep. The
American observers came to the con-
cusion that sheep were not susceptible.
but they only report one experiment
in which blood was injected into a
lamb. BY similar experiments on two
sheep in Queensland DR.. Hunt set up
fever in both. One recovered and one
was killed in a dying state. Post
mortem examination did not reveal the
characteristic lesion Of tick fever. and
the examination for micro-organisms
was indefinite. The blood from one OF
the sheep injected into bullock pro-
duced no well-marked disease The
evidence is, perhaps, no more than sus-
picious, but it is possible that tick
fever, like tuberculosis. occasionally
occurs in sheep. AS DR.. Hunt remarks,
the subject merits further study"

Markets for Dairy Products.

Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture is reported as saying:
"The people in the Mississippi val
ley are alive to the new markets in
the Pacific for their products. That
we may be doing something along this
line the agricultural department has
sent an agent to China to establish
agencies for the sale Of our dairy prod
ucts. We find that this Puget Sound
section imports dairy products from
the Mississippi valley. One object OF
my present visit, therefore, is to en-
courage your dairymen to prepare
not only to supply their market. but
the greater market which is opening
up in the Pacific. Good butter, neatly
timed, brings thirty to forty cents a
pound over there. We Of the Missis-
sippi valley have concluded that q
great change is coming. Our great
markets will be to the west rather
than to the east"

The Shingle Tick.-The shing1e tick
is what we commonly call the cattle
tick. It is q very easy matter to de-
stroy the cattle tick. The short life
history Of the tick is as follows: An
adult tick will drop on the ground and
deposit $500 eggs. These eggs hatch.
and the young crawl upon the grasses
and plants, ready to attach to any
thing that comes along. It has not the
power of selecting it's host. It attaches
itself to the first thing that comes
along. and sheep. upon which the tick
cannot live, are frequently pastured
with cattle to exterminate 1t. It is
called the shingle tick on account Of
the peculiar way in which they over
lap each other when on an animal.

Demand for Texas Feeders.-The
cattle ranges in Texas have not been
in such excellent condition as now for
very many years, and as result the
Texas grass-fat cattle are going to
market in fine condition and are bring
ing prices that are pleasing to chip
pers. Those that are held to be fed
or to be sold to feeder-buyers will go
into the feed lots in better condition
than usual. AS there is absolutely
nothing to indicate that there will be
any decline in prices and there is an
abundance Of cheap feed-stuffs in all
the states where feeding is done, there
may be expected an unusually strong
demand sor fee~ers. The supply from
Texas will, of course. be principally
Young stuff. In Texas there will prob
ably be more feeding than was done
last season, and more corn will be fed
than in any fc 'mer feeding period

HER CLOTHING BURNED OFF.
Mrs. ID. n. Thomson EnvcIODed In
Flames From Blazing Wax.

Mrs. D. y. Thomson was seriously and
perhaps fatally burned about o'clock yes
terday afternoon by her clothing catching
fire az her home, No. 10 York street,
east
Mrs. Thomson was ia a front room on
the second floor Of the house, where she
was preparing a preparation of beeswaX
and turpentine with the intention of wax
ing the floor she was using a small alco-
hol lamp with which to heat the prepare
ton. The preparation blazed up and Mrs.
Thomson undertook to smother the blaze
with her apron. not having the slightest
thought of danger. The apron caught fire
and the blaze seemed to communicate IL
self in moment to all parts Of her cloth
ing. The windows facing on York street
were open and a stiff breeze was blowing,
which famed the flames.
Mrs. Thomson rushed 10 the window
screaming for nelp, the flames from her
dress rising aboYc her head. Her little
daughter who was in the room with ner
also. ran screaming down the steps. Mr..
Thomas S. Russell who was in the Off
Of The clerk Of the City Court, saw Mrs.
Thomson at her window and rushed 70
her assistance, as did also MIR. John Pate
and Mr.. S. J. Billings. who We're on the
reach the frenzicd woman, who was roll
ing on the floor in agony. He at once
seized a heavy coverlet from the bed and
threw il over her, aud with the assistance
of the other two gentlemen soon extin-
guished the flames. Before this had been
done however. Mrs. Thomasons clothing
had been almost entirely burned from her
body Several ladies residing in adjoin
ing houses also responded promptly TO the
call for help and removed the scorching
and smoking fragments of clothing from
her body. Physicians were summoned i'm
mediately and Drs. Num-, Dunn and Rol-
Inns responded They found that Mrs.
Thomason had been very seriously burned,
the injuries extending almost over the en-
tire surface of the body. Some time was
spent in dressing the wounds. The fact
that the injured lady is in a delicate con-
dtion adds to the seriousness of her stu
alton.
General attention was attracted to the
accident by the sending in of a fire alarm
from box Is, one of the young men who
rushed 10 Mrs. Thomason's assistance hav-
ing notified a policeman that the house
was on fire. The firemen responded with
great promptness. The room was still fill
ed with smoke when they arrived. but
there was nothing for them TO do except
20 make sure that there was no further
danger from fire.
Mr. Thomson. the husband Of the in
jured lady. was at his place of business
on West Broad street and did not learn
of the serious accident to his wife until
some time after il had occurred
