Bugs on Vines -fQQs.

A little phosphate sprinkled
around vines will effectually keep
the bugs away. | tried this remedy
last year, and had nice cucumber
squash and melon vines. Eggs will
hatch best if near the ground. My
way is to make coop of lath Axe
feet. Place box without bottom
in one end of the coop. on the
ground. In this the nest is placed.
Feed and water the hen in the
other end of the coop. This ar
rangement does not allow the
other hens to disturb the nest.
Soft or thin-shelled eggs are caused
by lack of shell-forming material.
For every twenty-five or thirty
hens give once or twice a week a
tablespoonful of lime mixed with
the food.

If disease appears disinfect the
entire poultry premises with a
mixture made with two gallons of
water, one pound of copperas and
one gill of carbolic acid.
AS soon as the young ducks are
Matched push the growth. June
is the month for marketing them,
and if they are ready they must
make good growth from the start.
Oil the roosts and their supports
every two or three weeks with
kerosene, crude petroleum or car
bolic acid. Sprinkle sulphur or
tobacco or insect powder in the
nests.
Before selling too many of the
early Matched chickens select out
sufficient number of the best
pullets and keep them. They
will make the best layers next
Winter
When the comb of a fowl is
white or pale or very black, some
thing is wrong. Refusal of food
is sign of being out of condition.
while excessive thirst is sign of
cholera.
With good feeding ducklings
can be made ready for market in
eight or ten weeks after Matching.
They are voracious eaters grow
rapidly and gain in proportion to
the food consumed.
In yards where the fowls have
no run and where the soil is COM
pact, a failure to provide gravel
will cause indigestion and bowel
troubles. Sand is not sufficient;
they need sharp gravel.
If for any reason it is desired to
change the nest Of a hen after
she has begun to sit, just at night
is rather the best time to make
the change. 1t may be necessary
to fasten her on the new nest for

Treatment Of Kicking Cows.

With the first calf there is per-
haps more danger of the udder
being inflamed and tender than at
any period. A COW suffering from
any disease of the udder should
be MIXED thoroughly three or
four times a day: under no circum-
stances should the udder be full
and distended any length of time.
Kindness, frmness and fearless
ness are necessary qualifications
in a good mixer. One who can
not control his temper, or who is
afraid of a COW, need not expect
to become a successful mixer.
Kindness is not thrown away,
even to an animal. | know it
sometimes requires great deal of
patience to milk a kicking COW,
but if a person is determined he
can control himself under almost
any circumstances. Occasionally
a COW will persist in kicking in
spite of all precautions. For such
l use light rope, with hook at
one end and a short chain at the
other Put it around the COW just
in front of the udder; draw quite
tight and hook in the chain. She
can scarcely lift her feet, and it
causes her no pain unless she tries
to kick. Sometimes the difficulty
is caused by change of surround
ings-from one farm to another,
or of change of mixers. Never
change mixers if it can be avoid
ed. With some cows it makes
little difference; others will not
stand at all for strange person.

dying, yet the one in the pen re-
manned healthy, notwithstanding
the others ran all around its pen.
l have not always seen the dish
water given the hogs, but | have
known some people who poured
the suds from the weekly wash to
the hogs, and said it did them, good.
Once when my husband was fat
tening twenty-five or thirty sho; ITS
he took a can of Greenwich con
centrated lye, punctured the car
several times with a nail and put
it in their swill barrel. Now this
may have been a mistaken idea,
but l know the hogs throve weli
and were not attacked with any
kind of disease. l would like to
hear from others who speak from
actual experience on this subject.
if there is anything in it, it is time
we harken to the warning and
avoid the danger. If there is
nothing in it, then l am sure we
women folks don't want to be
bothered keeping the dishwater
separate from other kitchen refuse,
and be bothered with two instead
of one receptacle. Let us hear
from the man who has lost any
hogs from allowing them to drink
dishwater.-Mrs. J. R. Cordell in
Farmers Advocate.

l am not an extensive hog
but l keep few hogs on the place
and wash dishes about three times
a day the year round, and always
give the dishwater with the other
odds and ends from the kitchen to
the hogs-and l only wish l had
more of it for them. When l was
a child l can remember my mother
almost always got one or two pigs
in the Spring that she kept in a
pen where they would be handy
to feed the kitchen waste. These
pigs always got the dishwater, and
there were no healthier nor thrift
ier pigs on the place than they.
At one time | had a shoat in the

a day or two.
1t is a good plan to make it a
rule to feed all the turkeys regu-
larly at night with grains, as an
inducement for them to come
regularly, otherwise there is con-
siderable risk of their straying
clear away from the farm.
A pen built by setting boards
ten or twelve inches high and of
sufficient size to give them little
run makes one of the best arrange
ments for combining ducks and
goslings until they are fairly we'll
feathered, after which they may
be given a free range.
The guinea is one of the fora
gers on the farm. 1t seeks its
food without scratching and is
very successful in destroying in
sects. Unlike all other breeds of
fowls usually kept on the farm,
with gnineas the number of males
and females should be about equal.

RepIanting Corn.

Most farmers have more or less
replanting to do, and we hit upon
very good plan which yielded
satisfactory returns. Two years
ago we planted our corn with a
planter which dropped three grains
in hill. Owing to the weather
and moles, hill now and then
failed to come. These hills were
replanted with pumpkin seed. In
a few days the plants were up,
and then we cultivated same as if
no pumpkins had been planted
We thus had large crop of corn
and four two-horse loads of pump
kins from three acres. would
suggest to farmers to try the plan
OF replanting corn with pumpkin
seed.

FOR THE FARMER,
Among the Poultry.

The food gives flavor and color
to the eggs.
Fowls that get no milk require
meat of some kind.
See that all young fowls have as
free a range as possible.
While turkeys are good foragers,
they should be fed regularly.
If you want eggs give the fowls
plenty of good, wholesome food.
While the leghorns are the most
prolific, they lay the smallest eggs.
Those who are making a speci
atty of eggs for market should
keep only one breed.
Well-fed fowls never become
overfat if compelled to scratch
among litter for their grain.
To keep a hen in good condition
for laying she should be obliged
to exercise for part of her food.
If there is any difference be-
tween feeding young chickens and
ducks, the latter require more
bulky food.
One drachm of salicylic acid to
a gallon of water given to growing
chickens once or twice a week will
cure gapes.
1t is a safe rule never to begin
picking the geese for feathers un-
til the goslings are all Matched and
out of the way.
Young turkeys, at least until
they are fairly we'll feathered,
should not be allowed to get out in
wet weeds or grass.
One of the best remedies for
diarrhoea is to give boiled milk in
which has been stirred while cook
ing some chalk and bonedust
Water should always be sup
piled to all young poultry in such
a way that they cannot get their
bodies wet, for dampness is fatal
to them.
When chickens droop, look
sleepy, have rough appearance,
refuse food and do not grow, look
closely in the heads and vent for
the large body lice.

Those who spoke included Senator's
Foraker, Teller. Mcsley, Mason, SDooner,

Senator Beverage asked as to the ERECT
Of the ratification OF the pending nsree-
ment on three points: First. as to the
provision of the C.ayton-EuiWer treaty re-
lating to the acquisition of territory.
whether that article still would be in sf-
feet as far as itpsoh.b.ts the United States
from acquiring territory in Central Amer
lea. Secondly, in case the Hay-PaUnce-
fote treaty should be ratified by the
United States and then accepted by. say.
twenty other nations, whether 1T could be
modified without the consent of all the
stgna.tory Powers. Third. as to the right
OF hostile nations to station ships in the
vicinity of the canal in case of its coz
struction under the Huy-Pauncetote
agreement.
He said the second article OF the Clay

to guarantee the neutrality Of the canal.

Senator Lodge repIed that, in his opla,
ION, under the pending treaty the ChI.ea
States would be stepped from eSeeild.lS
its domain into Central American terri
tory, as the. new negotiation did not aoro-
gate that portion of the old treaty.
Senator Foraker expressed the oppos!se
view, saying that ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS uhe

into that region if lt so desired. JUST as
England had done in taking possession OF
the Mosquito country. The Ohio Senator
replied affirmatfvely TO a question from
Senator Mason as to whether the United
states could acquire and annex South
American country as We nave annexed
Hawaii with the complete assent OF the
country coming under our protection. but
on this point Senator Lodge differed.
Mr.. Lodge said that under the new
treaty we as a nation, OF course, would
