A BROTHERS, LOVE.

Lostant, ILL.,, July s.-James Watt,
of this place, by one little act, has
given splendid example of that
never dying love which exists be-
tween brothers, no matter how far
apart they may be.
Mr.. Watt was great sufferer from
Kidney Trouble and Nervousness.
He was very much used up, and al
though he had tried great many
things, he had found nothing that
would in any way relieve him. Some
one suggested Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and he used six boxes, and was COM
pletely cured.
His first thought was for brother
in Belfast, Ireland, whom he knew to
be afflicted in the same way that
he had been. Mr.. Watt Immediately
sent a supply of Dodd's Kidney Pills
to this .far-away brother, together
with his recommendation based on
his fortunate experience.

until the hens have had run outside,
and as a result their eggs will hatch
better.
In connection with the second meth
cd unless the farmer has brooding
house, which permits of his being in
dependent of outside temperature, he
will have to content himself with. in
cubator and outside brooder. His out
side brooder is Placed on the rapidly
growing grass, and with proper care
and food the young chicks will be found
to make famous progress.
At the experimental farms when the
hens became broody they were set in
wooden boxes placed in vacant pens in
a house. The wooden nest boxes con-
tanned no bottoms and had hinged
door in front. The nests were made
of dry lawn clippings, which were
found to answer the purpose much bet
ter than cut straw. Grain, grit and
drink water were constantly before
the sitters. On being made, the nests
were thoroughly busted with a disin-
fecting powder, and SO were the sitters
before being put on the nests. 1t was
found beneficial to place two or three
china eggs in the nests as arranged
Griggs courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1885-1902, 1901-07-11

and allow the broody hens to sit on
them for day or two. The sitters
having proved reliable, the china eggs
were removed and replaced by the val
liable ones. In the morning the doors
of the nest boxes, which had been
closed from the previous day, were
opened and the sitters allowed oppor-
tunity to get out for food, water and
q short run. In early spring, when
the weather is likely to be cold, the
sitter should return to her nest inside
of ten minutes. The foregoing details
are all important in the successful
Matching of chickens by hens.
Late April and May hen-hatched
chickens did the better at the Cana
dian farms. In the case of hen-hatched
chickens the latter were permitted to
remain in their nest for "a to SO hours,
when, with the mother hen, they were
placed in Slated coop on the grass
outside. The coop was so arranged that
it could be securely closed at night.
while ventilation was secured.
Through the stats the chicks could
run on the grass outside, while the
hen remained inside. On the floor of
the coop was sand to the depth of two
inches. On taking the mother hen
from her nest she was given food and
water. She would be more likely to
brood the chicks contentedly after be-
ing fed than if hungry or thirsty. How
important it is to have early chicks
carefully brooded is well known to all
experienced breeders. The rations
adopted werestale bread crumbs, fol-
lowed by stale bread soaked in milk
and squeezed dry; this for day or
two. Crushed corn was not given un-
til after eight days. and whole wheat
was not fed until the twelfth or four
teenth day. AS the chicks grew, a
mash composed of shorts, corn meal.
stale bread and small quantity of
prepared meal was mixed with boiling
skim milk, allowed to cool, and was
given three or four times per day. Milk
and water were both furnished for
drink.

An Australian Fish story.

Writing from Bunbury, West Aus
tralia, to a brother in London, Mr.
Reginald Shaw relates the following
amazing incident, which, he states,
happened to one Of his party when
fishing from the jetty: His friend
had baited his hook with a large whit
ing, hoping to catch a kingfsh, when
a shark about seven feet long swal-
lowed it! The angler gently brought
the shark to the surface of the water.
while a man working on the jetty
came to his assistance with a big iron
hook, and after several Intellectual at
tempts to jab the hook into the
sharks mouth the latter got away.
On pulling up his line the fisherman
found that he had lost the whiting
bait, but had hooked two large ribs
of beef from the stomach of the
shark. Then, to the amusement Of
the crowd, one of whom remarked:
"Well, exchange is no robbery" he
landed the beef safely on the jetty-
London Mail.

DESTRUCTION OF LICE.
To RID the Poultry House Of vermin
for Good and All Calls for sys.
tematic Application,

IL coLipletely fld the poultry mouse
of vermin, go after the pests with a
torch. Make the torch first. Dis
solve one-half pint of pine tar and
one-half pint of turpentine in one
half gallon of kerosene, in an open
vessel. Soak in this solution large
corn cobs until they are we'll satu-
rated. Then take them from the solu-
ton and dust on them all of the
powdered sulphur that will stick to
them. Next, have small pointed
iron rod, of which insert the pointed
end into the large end of the cob.
Then you have saturated torches
ready for use. Removing all the COM
bustible matter from your poultry
house, enter with your torch, ignite
it, and go to work, permitting the
flames to enter every crack and crew
ice all over the surface, momentarily,
and you have all the lice destroyed.
This should be done once month in
warm weather. 1t would be we'll and
wise to have a tub and few buckets
of water handy in case your poultry
house should ignite from your torch.
All poultry houses should be well
whitewashed with fresh lime. White
wash with plenty of salt in the wash
inside of the house. Dips should not
be used, because they may cause the
hens to take cold. All dips that can
be used avail nothing unless the
poultry house is clean, as the hens
will soon become overrun again with
lice. just as soon as the lice leave
the poultry house the hens can clear
their bodies by busting in ashes or
dry earth. The heads and neclSs
should be rubbed with melted lard
once month, to kill the large head
lice. If dip must be used pour a
gallon of boiling water on pound
of tobacco refuse. Let it stand over
night and then add two gallons of
cold water. Dip the hens on a warm,
dry day. But do not use dip if it
can be avoided. Try insect powder
in preference.-Rural World.

TO PREVENT swARNuc.
Ne 10 e Give the Bees Pleaty
81 Storage Roon.

Strongcoloniesa and plenty of storage
room is the foundation for large crops
of surplus honey, but the one must ac-
company the other. A strong colony
without storage capacity cannot do
anything but swarm, and If this man
agement is followed up, swarming is
the result all through the honey sea-
son. The greatest profits are derived
from the honey stored in good MARKET
able shape, so that the prevention of
swarms is the rule with beekeepers.
The best preventive of swarming is
plenty of storage room, so the bees
are never in want of place to store
the nectar from flowers as they gather
It. Storage room for surplus should
be added at the right time, and this is
not too early in the season, but allow
chamber untilthey become strong, and
the hive is full of bees. 1t usually is
said that surplus boxes should be put
on at the beginning of the principal
honey harvest, and as . rule this is
right, but in some cases there are ex-
ceptions. If the colony is not strong,
the boxes should not be added until
they are strong enough. On the other
hand, We frequently have colonies so
strong some time before the honey
season is on that if extra room is not
added they will swarm. So that these
must have additional space just at the
time needed to keep down the swarm
ing fever.
Those who do not make speciality
of bees frequently do not give enough
storage room. A good colony during
the honey season should have at least
about so pounds storage capacity, and
this is not enough to be allowed to re-
main so throughout the season, but all
completed honey should be removed as
soon as ready and empty boxes sup
piled to take the place of the ones re-
moved. A good colony may store two
or three times this amount of surplus
if the honey flow is good one, and the
colony the same, SO that we should not
be content to let them remain unheed-

to hook them, but the monsters re
fused to look 1t the bats. Then
appeared ON the scene an old one-eyed
Malay named REQ, who asserted he
could kill them easily. The way he
set to work was described to mo by
the natives who witnessed the opera
tions. Taking piece of green bam-
boo about four feet in length, he split
from it two strips, each an inch wide.
After charming the points he sharpen
ed the ends carefully; then, by great
pressure, he coiled them up into as
small compass as possible, keeping
the whole in position by sewing the
coil up in the fresh skin of fish
known as the isuumu-a species Of the
''leather-jacket." Next he asked to be
provided with two dogs. A couple of
ours were soon provided. killed, and
the viscera removed. The coils of
bamboo were then placed in the va
cancy, and the skin of the bellies
stitched up with small wooden skew
ers. That completed the preparation
Of the bats.
As soon as the two sharks made
their appearance one of the dogs was
thrown into the water, and was quick
~ swallowed. Then the second fol-
lowed. and it was quickly seized by
the second tanifa. The sharks re-
remained cruising about for some
hours, then went OF as the tide began
to fall.
On the following evening they did
not turn up, nor on the next, and the
Malay insisted that within five days
both would be dead. AS soon as the
dogs were digested, he said, the thin
fish-skin would follow, the bamboo
coil would fly apart, and the sharpen
ed ends penetrate not only the sharks
bellies, but protrude through the
outer skin as well.
Quite q week afterwards, during
which time neither of the tanifa
had been seen, the smaller of the two
was found dead on the beach at
Vailele Plantation, about four miles
from the vaivasa. It was examined
by numbers of people, and presented
curious but horrible sight; one end
of the bamboo spring was protruding
over a foot from the belly, which
was so cut and lacerated by the ago
nized efforts of the monster to free
itself from the instrument of torture
that much of the intestines was gone.
That the larger of these dreaded fish
had died in the same manner there
was no reason to doubt; but probably
it had sunk in the deep water outside

LENGTHY cRREMoN1Es.1
Among the Hindu. It Take. q whole
Week to Complete the Marriage
Rite.

Oriental marriage ceremonies are
the most elaborate, and those of q
Brahmin wedding, spread over the
greater part of week, are probably
the most complicated, says Parsons
Weekly. All the Hindu gods are in
vited, and on the first day the pair
sit under an alcove or canopy, with
their faces turned to the east, while
married women wave lighted camphor
to avert the evil eye.
On the second day the bridegroom
appears eager to make pilgrimage
to Benares to wash in the sacred wa
tiers of the Gauges. His future father
in-law, after-much entreaty, per-
suades the would-be pilgrim to give
up the idea, and the priests profess
readiness to accept the will for the
deed, at the same time accepting q
gift of IA flags, by which the BRIDE
groom symbolizes his purity or free
dom from sin. A thread is then tied
on the mans right wrist and the
woman's left to show they are united
for life. The father-in-law now
feigns to behold in the bridegroom
the great god Vishnu himself, and
makes an offering to him. Then wa
ter is poured over the two, and the
''tali," jewel set in gold, is tied on
the brides neck, while sandal paste,
perfumes and flowers are offered to
the guests. Fire is then brought in,
and, while a sacrifice is offered to
Agni, the couple walk hand in hand
seven times round it, and SO make the
''seven steps'-a symbol of eyerlast-
ing friendship.
The next day the astrologer points
out the star Arundhati, to impress
upon the pair the duty of faithful
ness. Then they eat together, and,
having sprinkled each other with rice.
a final bridal procession takes place
at night, when friends and relations
again avert the evil eye by the cere-
mony of Arati, or waving lamp over
the heads Of the newly-wed.
