and then powder does no harm to
mites, anyway.
Formula: One quart crude carbolic
acid, one-fourth pound napthalane,
three quarts kerosene. Shake well
and let stand for twenty-fOur hours
before using. Apply every ten days.
If napthaline crystals cannot be had,
use one quarter pound napthalane

When your orders for eggs Outnum-
er the eggs themselves, buy wheat
and cracked oyster shells, and go to
grinding green bone.
In our experience wheat is pre-emi-
nently the food for chicks, young and
old. Just as soon as the little fellows
can manage cracked wheat provide it,
1t is about as cheap as and far prefer
able to millet seed. The latter we
don't like; it does not digest.
We made q greast mistake last sum-
mer, and, as we may profit as much
by our failure as by our successes,
we will tell it out" The brooder
chicks were notably fond of cold boil
ed potato. Toss two or three of the
tubers among them and they would
scramble after them and pick them
and roll them about until not a bit was
left Later they were just as fond Of
them and so we INDUCED them, mean
while losing dozens and dozens, whose
main symptoms were. dumpishness
and crop full of sOured food and
wind. We never saved one. In time
we learned it was all the fault of the
potatoes; it soured in the crop.

FAIR SLAVE OF MORPHINE.
Pathetic Confession of Mrs. Forden
I'm Court.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Baltimore, Md, Nov. Mrs. Jennie
Fordell, a handsome and refined woman.
a self-confessed victim OF morphine, made
a pathetic address to the jury in the Grim
inal Court to-day when tried for obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
Her operations, which have been going
on for several years, were peculiar. She
went to Mrs. Mary Earring and asked her
to take her as a boarder. Then she rep
resented herself as an ,heiress to a $1,000
900 estate, and showed kilograms from
Harrlsonburg, Va, where, she said, she
had a farm.
She began 10 borrow money from Mrs
Earling, saying it was to buy medicine
Mrs. Earling gave her the money, and
Mrs. Fordell left the house. She did not
return. During the time she remained she
paid no board.
During the trial Mrs. Fordell sat with
hands clasped and an expression of terror
on her face. When she was called to tes-
tify she broke down. and said sobbingly
to the jury:
Il am poor woman, without a relative
in the world, and l haven't long TO live
Gentlemen, l am addicted to the use of
morphine, but for years have striven 10
conceal my habit. 1t was first taken to
relieve pain, and the desire for the drug
grew on me until l reached that wretched
state in which 1 would do anything to
get it,
This was the medicine 1 wanted. and
have resorted to various means to obtain
1t. l throw myself at the mercy of the
world. l am one of its women without a
will"
The jury was visibly affected but found
la Drison.
