ed of the Failure of the Army
to Crush the Beers.

London, July ga remarka-
BILE feature of the war in South
Africa is the public Indifference
in regard to details. Military
experts no longer comment IN
the press on the operations in
the field; war maps have disap-
peared from the daily files; the
special correspondents, with the
exception of three or four, have
retired from service, and the
closing incidents of the campaign
are passing almost without OBJ
servation.
1t is not clear what is meant
by a khaki campaign in politics
when the story of the war, with
it's marches, skirmishes, battles
and records of heroic fortitnde
and gallantry has ceased to in
terest a bored and listless pub
lie. Gen. Hunters campaign
south of Bethlehem has not been
followed with intelligence, even
by the utterances of the military
clubs, and General Broadwood s
hunt after De Wet has been the
subject of private wagers, with
the heaviest betting on the fox.
Pail Mall clubs are not London,
and the West End is not Eng
land, but when allowance is
made flor the lIstlessness,. and
lack of earnestness of the aim
less smart set. it still remains an
anomaly that the war, which in
,terested the classes and masses
of the entire nation ten months
ago, should now be regarded as
a dull matter which interferes
with the ordinary pleasures oi
society and country house life
and with the enjoyment of crick
ct matches and horse races.
The reason for the apathy is
the public conviction that the
prestige of the British army has
suffered from the unexpected
protraction of the war and that
little should be said about the
unequal conflict between the
imperial army of 100000 mer
and the remnant of the Boel
commanders, 10000 strong. TIT
situation has been partly cleared
by Roberts advance TOWARD
Middelburg and Hunters occu
patton of Fouriesburg. Ther'
may be fresh mishaps and re
verses for the British, but it i:
probable that Botha will be fore
ed back into the LydenSurg dis
trict and cut off from supplies a
Komatipoort, and that the guer
rilla warfare will be gradual,
brought to an end among tn

LICE AND PARASITES.
Close Vigilance L. Necessary to KceJ
Fowls and Poultry Houses Free
from Their Attack.

There are numerous parasites that
prey on fowls, and which are not dis
cernible to the naked eye. An instance
may be given in case of scaly leg,
which everyone who has bred poultry
is familiar with. To an observer it
is simply a roughness of the legs, but
it gradually accumulates until the legs
are double the ordinary thickness.
This accumulation of scale is the work
of millions of parasites, which store
up matter on the legs as industrously
as the coral insect works on the reefs,
vet the closest examination will not
reveal their presence. Other kinds of
parasites cause skin and bowel dis
eases, and other ailments, while lice
take advantage of the work of the
parasites and assist in enfeebling the
condition of the birds. There are so
many different kinds of lice and para
sites that the closest vigilance is nee
essary in order to keep the poultry
houses and birds free from attack.
Fortunately we can partially prevent
the difficulty by the free use of kero-
sene oil, carbolic acid, w~hitewash, etc.
No matter how free the birds may ap-
pear to be from attack, the precau-
tons should never be neglected. At
this season, when thousands of Young
chicks will soon be Matched, the field
of operations is broader and the liza
bility to attack increased, hence II
che chicks are to be raised they
should be examined frequently
