builds house the cheeky sparrow is
speedily to be seen quarreling with the
poultry for their grain. A little longer,
and the big brown rat appears as If by

Insects other than flies also follow
man, especially those which can exist
in egg or cocoon for long time. The
insect known as the black beetle,
which is, however, neither black nor a
beetle, makes splendid colonist. In
the West Indies his descendants grow
fat and flourish. That little pest, the
clothes moth, is now to be found al
most everywhere where woolen clothes
are carried. White ants, taken acci-
dentally on board in cargo at Gold

France and done incalculable damage

skimmilk as an Insect Destroyer.

1t may not be generally known that
skimmilk or buttermilk readily mix
with kerosene, forming an emulsion
which destroys insects without the
danger of injury to ANIMALS or plants
on which they might be that might
result from the use of the pure oil or
of oil and water. We first learned
of this from using this mixture for
the scale insect or mite which causes
scaly legs on fowl. We found that
one or two dippings or washings with
it would cure the worst case of scaly
leg, and leave the skin as smooth as
when first hatched. We never had
occasion to try it for lousy animals,
for we never had one, but we do not
hesitate to recommend it, and we
have lately seen its use advised Tor
ticks on sheep, us.ng gill OF kefo-
sene to one gallon of milk. We DO
not make our mixture as strong or
Kerosene as that, but perhaps the
larger tick may need Il stronger appli-
cation than an insect so small as to be
scarcely visible to the naked eye.

Ibises in the London Zoo.

No fewer than nine ibises-six of
the glossy varieties and three white
have just been Matched in one of the
principal aviaries at the Zoo. The
first named are, perhaps, the most in
tersting, deriving their name from the
beautiful metallic bronze and purple
gloss which makes it's appearance in
the adult bird. One of it's most famous
breeding grounds in Europe is near to
Belgrade. but it is also found in Po-
land, Turkey, the Grecian Archipelago.
and more rarely in England. These
two varieties were the most highly
venerated by the Egyptians of old,
who used to rear them in their tenn
pies, and embalm their bodies after
death. There is also the scarlet ibis,
found in the most tropical parts of
America, and other species dwell in
India, Madagascar. the Cape of Good
Hope and elsewhere.-London News.

milk in summer weather.

With reference to the handling OF
milk in very hot weather, especially
mt skimming station, we find the fol-
| lowing by station operator, published
in the Nebraska Farmer. OF course it
will be seen that most of the sugges-
tions are commonplace. Those who
have been handling milk all their
lives may even smile at their simplicity.
But there are always beginners in this
those who need line upon line and pre-
cept upon precept. We quote:
The dairy stock should be in perfect
condition Of health.
All milk utensils should be of tin
not galvanized iron as that material
is almost uncleanable, it's rough sur
face defying all scrubbing which may
be done on it.
Use only warm water, and use sal
soda rather than soap in washing milk
vessels. After washing, scald with
water that is boiling orwith live steam.
The reason for using water no hotter
than can be borne by the hand is that
q higher temperature than this COOKS
and hardens upon the tin surface the
albumenous portion of the milk, in
stead of softening and dissolving it..
Have all joints and seams in milk
vessels smoothly soldered or they VII
collect filth, and sooner or later cause
trouble
Do all milking in a cleanly. thorough
manner. Strain through perfectly
clean cloth strainer, and cool imme-
diately. Never mix two dlnerent
milkings without both being first thor
oughly cooled. Fermentation takes
place with the greatest rapidity at the
temperature of new milk, and decreas-
es as the temperature is lowered.
Hence the necessity of cooling, ana 10
as low degree as possible to keep
the milk sweet.
All milk cans used for delivering
milk to and from the station should
be emptied. and washed and scalded
as directed above Immediately on re-
turning home. These should be aired
on n rack or in an inverted posi-
ton. and should b., kept in the open air
until ready to be sent to the station
again.
Skimming station operators are IN
structed to accept no tainted milk.
whether caused by fermentation. I'M
proper feeding or the condition of the
cows.
The better the condition in which
milk is delivered to the station the
more accurate is the sample taken, the
more thorough the separation. ana
the more satisfactory the test to the
patron.
In warm weather. II milk is not
properly cooled it undergOes a certain
amount Of churning in delivery to the
creamery, and the patron loses the
butter fat churned in transit. Hence
he suffers for his neglect in caring Tor
the milk.
Where milk Is handled according TO
the above instructions the skimmi.k k
returned proves satisfactory in feeding
Young stock. When the skimmilk Is
shown to b. unsatisfactory through
any failure of the station operator, Il
complaint To the proper authorities
will have him removed and an efficient
person put in his place.

The Wealth in a Farm.

The farm that produces but half a
crop is much less valuable than fer
tile farm, and if poor farm is in
creased in fertility the farmer has
stored in his soil greater amount of
plant food from which to secure crops.
Riches need not be in the form or
money, buildings or live stock. The
increased value of the land is in add
tion to the farmers wealth.

A Good Crop for Seed.

The ordinary string bean, the pods
of which are eaten, is good crop to
grow for seed, provided the seed is
ground and used for stock. 1t pro-
duces but little vine, but the seed can
be broadcasted and whenthe beans are
dry the vines should be pulled up and
thrown on the barn floor to be beaten
out, which work may be postponed un-
til winter if preferred.

The hot damp atmosphere of the
country about Durham, South Africa
is very injurious to ironwOrk. and fears
are expressed for the condition of ma
chinery destined for the mines, which
has accumulated at this port on ac-
count of the war. The life of the rails
on the Durham section of the Natal
railway is only one-siXth that
of the rails Of the mountain
sections, while the steelwo k
of the bridges requires constant
attention. In fact more men are em-
ployed scraping and painting on the
North Coast railway than on all the
rest of the section, as no paint has yet
been found that resists the corrodng
action of the atmosphere. The paint
used is said to remain intact. but the
surface of the metal peels off. In the
Transvaal. however. the reverse con-
dton exists, and metal can be exposed
with but slight danger in the dry AMI
clear climate.

is the extraction Of fannie acid from
chestnut wood. The seat of this busi-
ness is at Bastia, the commercial cen
ter of Corsica, and there are two fac
tories which export annually about
1000 tons of extract in a concentrated
form. To prepare this amount requires
nearly 10000 tons of the wood of the
sweet chestnut tree, which grows in
