If the dust bath is composed in part
of air Stacked lime or fine wood ashes
the fowls will soon rid themselves of lice
by smothering them. Lice breed in the
droppings, and these should be removed
often. 1t is good thing to sprinkle the
floor of the house with kainit, which,
beside being an insecticide, is an excel
lent preservator of the manure, and
adds to it's value. Every few weeks the
building should be made as tight as
possible and fumigated with carbon
bisulphide; pour little in a saucer and
let stand 10 or II hours, remembering
that it is explosive and dangerous if not
kept from light.

There is absolute need of muscular
exercise for all animals, and it is espe-
cially necessary to the full and normal
development of the growing youngster;
it develops the lung power and quickens
the circulation, while disuse means ar
rested development or loss of power.
If America fails to produce as good
horses as do the farmers of France it
will be because our mares and stations
are kept in idleness. 1t is no degrada-

Coal ashes should be used freely about
poultry houses, and they can not be put
to better use. Wood ashes are objec-
tionable for two reasons-they contain
the actual potash and injure the drop
pings by iberating ammonia, and, be-
cause they are caustic, they cause the
feet and legs of the fowls to become sore,
especially in damp weather. They will
be much more serviceable if scattered
on the grass plot.

The older geese are the best breeders
and layers, and grow the most and the
best feathers, while the younger mem.
bers of the flock bring the best prices in
the market. Keep the older geese and
sell the younger. If the latter are not
now ready, two or three weeks ofpropel
feeding will make them so.

'Put that cigar out, or get out your
self" said the conductor.
Nevertheless, the ungentlemanly

with one grand sweep, he was landed

conductor thus demonstrating that
where there's much smoke there is apt
to be little fire.

More food of the same kind, given at
long and irregular intervals, will not
give fowls the same vigor or size as

ways will bring poor results always.

A pound of poultry can be produced
as cheaply as can pound of beef, NUT
ton or pork, and there is no reason why
it should not be an every day article of
diet. There is no reason in considering
it one of the luxuries to be reserved for
special occasion in the farmers family.

There will be less trouble with soft
