PREVENTING MITES.
Various Ways by Which Poultry
Rratscrs Aim to Accomplish
This Difficult Task.

Keep your chickens healthy and
your success is assured. Keep them
free from mites and there is little dan
ger that they will not remain healthy.
There are many remedies, all more or
less successful, but the best remedy is
prevention. The first great problem
is to keep the roosting places and the
nests free from the pest. To do this is
often a problem. One farmer of my
acquaintance had perches that could
be easily removed. Every little while
he would remove them and pass them
slowly through a brisk fire. Another
treats the perches, nests and inside of
the coop with a mixture of coal oil
and water, applied with a force pump.
Still another swabs off the perches
with tar water. Another keeps dust
box for his fowls to wallow in. This
box contains mixture of road dust,
wood ashes and sulphur. Any or all
of these are good. The idea is to keep
the mites away. One lady in a neigh
boring county raised chickens by the
thousands every year. She was asked
how she kept her chickens free from
mites. This was her method: She
kept her perches wound with old rags,
and every few days saturated them
with kerosene and water. Mites never
troubled her chickens, nor did any Of
the poultry diseases that follow in the
wake of these pests. She did nothing
else to keep her focks free from them.

WINTER MANAGEMENT.
How to Keep Young and Old Poultry llty
in Excellent Condition During
the Severe Season.

To keep a poultry house dry and
warm line the side with tarred paper,
place loose boards or fence rails over
head and fill the loft with chaH Glover
chaff is best). It absorbs all the
dampness arising from the expired air
of the fowls, keeps the house warm
and comfortable, and the chaH is
ready to pack eggs in for shipping in
the spring. The great secret of sue
cessful poultry raising is to keep the
houses and runs dry and clean. Breed
from vigorous, healthy ancestors with
a frequent introduction of new bloody,
and keep up continual warfare
against the lice. Sprinkle the houses
every two weeks with strong solu-s
ton of carbolic acid. This not only
destroys the vermin, but is one of the
best disinfectants that can be used.
1t destroys the germs or bacteria that
produce cholera, gapes and other in
fectious diseases among fowls. Buy
a bee smoker and a few pounds OF
long green tobacco, and when a hen
matches her brood. put the little chicks
in basket, cover them over and give
them thorough smoking with tobae-
co. Tread the old hen to a dose in
like manner. The tobacco will make
the little fellows giddy, but will not
injure them. This procedure will kill
every louise and does it Immediately.
If they are very lousy you will find the
bottom of the basket lined with them
after. smoking them. Three drops of
carbolic acid in one ounce of sweet
oil is a good remedy to kill lice. Put
a little on the top of the heads Of
chicks and under the wings. Avoid
doctoring your fowls unless they are
sick.-American Gardening.

Too Much Drone Comb.

Bees left to themselves are likely to
build to much drone comb, says the
Farmers Voice. This is not built for
the purpose by the bees, as they build
it for storing honeyNin, but if not filled
the queen will fill it next spring with
drone eggs and the hive will be over
stocked with the idlers. The way to pre-
vent this is to use all foundation comb
worker size and then the queen will fill
it with worker eggs and the colony
will be built up when Matching begins
in the spring. If there is too much
drone comb in the hive remove it and
replace with worker comb. By doing
this the supply of drones is easily reg
ulated by the apiarist, and the bees be-
come more profitable than they would
be If left to their own devices.

is accomplished by hanging thick

they are fed all they will eat, but nc

kept before them and the pen floor is

Pnre Breed. ana Prot,t.

It is a fact well recognized that no
branch of the live stock business suits
the masses of people better than fowl
raising. It is paying vocation, and is
adapted to the young. as well as the old,
and to all sections of the country. Prime
poultry is desirable in every poulterer's
beginning. The wisest methods are
those learned by experience and with
small tlocks at the start. Pufe-bred
stock costs more at the start, but once
established in the breeders yard its
beauty. prolificacy and the consequent
value OF all the specimens produced
from the original breeding birds more
than make up for the extra outlay spent
IN the outset in producing the very best
stock that money can huy.-Farm and

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.

The queen bee is fully developed fe-
male bee.
Pollen is just as essential to brood
rearing as honey.
Bees fructify the flowers and cause
fruit to mature.
Store honey in warm, dry place to
hinder granulation.
An apiary is best on. the south of
east side of a slope.
Leave only as much comb in the hive
as the bees can cover.
The workers are dwarfed female bees.
They never become impregnated.
Make the hive snug enough to retain
all the heat generated by the bees. -,
The worker brood in the comb has a
very even and regular appearance.
By instinct the bees build the drone
cells at the lower end Of the comb.
All queenless colonies should be
united with those having good queens
One objection to top entrances is
the liability of filth gathering in. the
hives.
It is very important to raise only the
best stock of queens that the apiary
will afford.
All colonies that lack food must be
fed, and all feeding in cold weather
must be done with candy.
2 Comb honey will have a blue OF
muddy appearance in cold weather, but
no harm will come from this.
Bees should never be allowed to be.
come entirely destitute Of honey. Sealed
honey should always be in the hive.
Combs should be handled with care
during cold weather, as they are then
very easily broken.-St. Louis Repub.

EXPERT AT WEIGHT.
Ability to Guess by Ounces Is One Of
the Accomplishments of
Most. Butchers.

/ It is his business, of course, and he
becomes expert at it, as a man might
in any work, but the customer who pays
any attention to it at all is sure to be
interested, nevertheless, in the ac-
curacy with which the butcher cuts off
just the required amount of meat.
Whether it is two pounds of steak, or
four pounds of chops, or six pounds of
corned beef, it's all the same to him.
He cuts without long dwelling upon
where to set the knives. He slices away
sort of casual like and plies the saw,
and lays the meat on the scales, and it
does not vary more than quarter or a
half pound from the weight required,
on even the heaviest piece, and on the
lighter pieces he comes within an ounce
or two, or hits it right on the nail.
A man, for instance, goes into a
butcher shop and asks for three and a
half or four pounds of, say, corn beef.
The butcher gets big piece out of the
pickle, lays it on a block, and picks up
a knife; and, without the slightest
hesitation, with one strong, smooth
sweep, cuts off piece, which he lays on
the scales. It weighs three pounds and
three-quarters; it is in weight exactly
midway between the limits set.
The expert butcher gets his ability to
do this naturally enough, from good
judgment to start with, backed up by
long experience, but when he cuts
things as close as this, even the Gus
toner familiar with his skill looks upon
his as wizard. - Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
