The Fecundity of Parasites.

A certain authority has stated that
single female louise may become the
grandmother of 10000 in eight weeks
time. Some other parasitic insects
are said to breed even more rapidly.
There is but one way to exterminate
them and that is to kill the first one
as quickly as possible before it has
an opportunity for breeding. This
is not so difficult if one pays atten-
tion to the matter, and as soon as
their presence is suspected uses any
good reliable remedy for them, of
which there are many, although we
know of none more efficient than ker-
osene emulsion, or a mixture of kero-
sene one pint in four pints of skim
milk. In that proportion it may be
used safely by a sponge or cloth, rub
bing it into the skin. We remember
when it was as unusual to see calves
in the spring that were not troubled
with lice as it is now to find a flock
of poultry without them, and we hope
another half century will Danish them
from the poultry yard as generally
as the last half century has from the
calf pen

GOVERNMENT PRINTING.
Public Interest in the Department
and Some of the Work That
Ls Turned Out.

Thousands of people go every year to
the bureau of engraving and printing
in Washington to see Uncle Sam make
money. Several young women are as
signed by the bureau to act as guides
for those visitors, who are taken about
in groups of six. They are first shown
the silk-threaded paper, as it comes
from Dalton, Mass, where it is made ex-
pressly for the government and under
close supervision. Much of the protec-
ton against counterfeiting lies in the
paper. 1t comes in sheets just large
enough for four bills, says Youth s
Companion.
The back of the note is printed first,
then the face, while the third time the
notes are run through the presses the
serialnumbers are stamped upon them,
and the fourth time the government
seal. This last process is carried on at
the treasury department proper, a
half-mile away, in order to make 4
check on the bureau of engraving and
printing. Besides the paper money,
postage stamps. bonds and various gov
ernment securities are turned out at
the bureau.
Although the employees number near
ly 2.000, not one is allowed to leave the
building at night until every sheet of
paper that has been given out is turned
in and accounted for. The nominal
value OF the contents of the huge safe
in which this work is stored over night
is often $400, ,OOO. 900, although little of
it has received the last impress, or seal.
which gives it actual worth.
Besides this bureau the government
maintains printing-office, said to be
the largest in the world, at which the
ordinary government publications are
turned out. The proportions of it's
work are seldom realized. The agricul-
tural department alone printed last
year nearly 100000 Farmers Bulle-
tins. Of one book which was brought
out in 1892, treating of the diseases OF
the horse, 375,00o copies have been dis
tributed
