LIQUID LOUISE KILLER.
1t IL Simply Indispensable in the Sue
ccsSful and Profitable Rais-
ing of Poultry.

A good, reliable liquid louise killer
is simply Indispensable in the raising
Of poultry. During warm weather
lice multiply very rapidly, and one
must keep constant watch for them
or the premises will be literally alive
before you know it. We did not real
lie the true worth of our liquid Grad
icator until this season, when we
neglected to get a quantity until the
dealer had sold out. While we were
waiting for the goods-:four weeks
we discovered millions of the pesky
little red creepers on the roost poles,
the kind that run over the fowls at
night, and retire to roost on the
perches during the day. One of our
neighbors told US the louise killer did
not prove to be of any special bene-
tit to him so far as he could see.
The reason was because he was only
painting on top OF the rocst poles,
and leaving the underside for their
hiding place, which is most desired by
them. The perches must be complete
ly coated with the liquid, using great
rrecaution in getting it into every
crack and crevice where the lice are
sure to hide. When lice are granted
free range on the farm on an equal
footing with the fowls. there is no
question but that the mortality
caused from them each year would
amount to at least 25 per cent. AS
soon as the downy chicks, and old
hens as well, are dropping and look
ing as If some disease was going to
overtake them, look for Ice. For a
deep-seated crop of lice, we use
scalding hot water, with a liberal
amount of carbolic acid, applied TO
roosts, walls, floors and all furnish
ings in the poultry house. Where
lice have gotten great Roadway and
seem to be alive everywhere, this is
a cheap and sure remedy. 1t must be
used, however. every few weeks. IS
they keep Matching. We know by ex-
rerience that feeding fowls covered
with lice takes twice the amount OF
feed; then we cannot hope to retain
the bloom of health. with blood-red
combs ard brilliant plumage, no mat
ter how well we feed them. And the
work of prevention is so small, COM
pared with the task Of Kidding the
place of lice. We have never found
that was as profitable in
our poultry keeping as a good liquid
louise killer.-J. c. Clipp, i'll Epitornist.

Onc-Sialed Buildings.

"A good many people find fault
with some of the new buildings we
are putting up, on the ground that
they are one-sided,'' said one of the
superintendent employed by large
construction company. by this it
is meant that they appear archi-
tecturally incomplete. Many en-
frances are placed at apparently in
convenient corners, and large win
dows and prominent decorations that
rightfully belong in certain sections
to insure harmonious whole are
now sadly out of place. This lack
of uniformity is due to the fact that
many buildings in course of construc-
ton are not being put up in their
entirety. In many cases it has been
found impracticable to break the
lease for houses OF adjoining prop
crty which was meant to be incor~
porated into the area of the new
consequently the work pro-
presses in sections. When the leases
expire and the rest of the ground
is available, these buildings will pre-
sent homogeneous front. N. Y.

How to Grind Kamr Corn.

As this crop is being much more ex-
tensively grown each year and many
are raising it for the grain, some Of
our readers may be interested in the
method of grinding it. Mr.. C. ]. Hug
gins, in the Kansas Farmer, says:
Most sweep mills will not grind it
fine, and the millers want too much
for grinding it. If the burr is quite
worn, so much the better. Have the
Kaffir-corn dry, put. a basketful into
good solid barrel, chop with a long
handled, sharp spade; add some more
heads and chop, and SO on. Fill your
mill and continue to chop and grind.
You can have it fine as -four if you
like, and it makes fine swill to feed
thick or thin. The Kafir-corn stem
keeps the seed from feeding too fast
and it grinds nicely, but not SO fast
as corn, probably about five bushels
per hour. This depends on how fine
YOU grind it,"

GOOD BROODER HOUSE.

ern slope. It is six feet high in the
rear and SKs feet in front. To Sc
cure warmth and dryness it should
be double-sided with an air space of
two or three inches all around. l
have found it an excellent plan to
plaster the sides and ceiling with an
Ordinary plaster of sand and lime. AL
most anyone can do it, it not being
necessary to be SO smooth. 1t is
antiseptic and perfectly tight-warm,
dry and healthful-and the material
costs a mere trife.
The house has tight floor and il
divided into eight apartments and
feeding alley by poultry netting
screens three feet high. These screens
are made separate so that they can
be easily taken out when required
Windows of glass about two feet
square are placed in front of each
apartment, close to the floor, so that
the sun can shine in on the floor.
Board shutters are fastened on the
outside to be closed on cold nights, as
much exposed glass makes cold hen
ting are made in front of each apart
lnent, and the ground planted with
grass or lettuce to provide something
green for the chicks when they are
let out on warm, sunshiny days.
| use hens to raise the chicks, and
sometimes place two in each apart
ment, but the house is equally well
adapted for artificial brooders. The
chicks do well in this house, do not
get the gapes, and are safe from var
mints that SO often play havoc with
chickens that roost about in coops on
the ground. After they get some
size the screens are taken out and
temporary roosts fitted in. In the
fall. the cocks having been previously
disposed of, the pullets are mostly
taken to the laying houses, although
some are left a greater part of the
winter. Before time for the new
brood, the house is thoroughly
cleaned, disinfected and whitewashed.

THE TEST OF TIME.

Mrs. Clara J. Sherbourne, Profess
sional Nurse of 257 Cumberland ST.,
Portland, Maine, says:-
II heartily wish those who suffer
from some disturbed action of the
kidneys would try Doan's Kidney
Pills. They would, like me, be more
than surprised. My back annoyed
me for years. Physicians who dag
nosed my case said it arose from
my kidneys. When the grip was cpl
demic, l was worn out with constant
nursing, and when I contracted it
myself it left me in very serious
condition. I could not straighten
nor do the most trivial act without
being in torture. The kidneys were
too active or the secretions were too
copious, and knew what was wrong,
but how to right it was a mystery.
It seems odd for professional
nurse, who has had great deal of
experience with medicines, to read
advertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills in the newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go
to II. H. Hay & Sons drug store for
a box. But did, however; and had
anybody told me before that it was
possible to get relief as quickly as
I did l would have been 10th to be-
lieve it. You can send anyone who
wishes more minute particulars
about my case to me, and l will be
only too glad to tell them personal
~. AS long as live will be firm
advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills."
Cure Confirmed S Years Later.
"Lapse of time has strengthened
my good opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills, first expressed in the spring
Of 1896. I said then that had any
body told me that it was possible
tc get relief as quickly as I did I
would have been 10th to believe it.
Years have passed and my continued
freedom from kidney complaint has
strengthened my opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills and given me much
higher appreciation of their merits"

ney medicine which cured Mrs. Sher-
bourne will be mailed on applica-
ton to any part of the United States.

Making the Poor Farm Pay.

Many farms are abandoned for want
of an adequate understanding of their
requirements. Ordinarily, land which
will produce weed crop will, under
proper tillage and fertilization, make
a fair yield Of some more useful crop,
and soil too dry to produce even weeds
has often been rendered productive
under irrigation. Drainage, where
the land is too wet, the annual turning
under Of some green crop on some
part of the farm deficient in humus,
and the liberal use of barn-yard and
commercial fertilizers where needed,
will work wonders. The main point is
to understand your farm and the need
for satisfactory crop production, to
analyze the soil and conditions and
to meet their requirements intelli-
gently.-Midland Farmer.

Hens for Winter Laying.

Those who hope to have full sup
ply of fresh laid eggs during the
winter months must do their part or
be disappointed. From among all
your hens select the best that are
not over one year old. Hens past
two years old seldom pay for their
keep in producing eggs for market.
Having selected all the hens that YOU
intend keeping for the winter, house
them by themselves if possible. for
the hens will do better alone, as will
the pnllets. When kept together the
hens are quite apt to quarrel with
the pullets, or boss it over them,
and the young and more active pul.
lets are naturally quicker to move
and will get the greater part of the
food.
