LIQUID LOUISE KILLER.
1t IL simply indispensable In the suc-
cessful and Profitable Rsis-
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
ize the true worth Of our liquid Grad
icator until this season, when we
neglected to get 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
not prove to be of any special bene-
fit to him SO far as he could see.
The reason was because he was only
painting on top of the roost 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
precaution 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 q
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. It must be
used, however, every few weeks, as
they keep hatching 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 and brilliant plumage, no mat
ter how we'll 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
anything that was as profitable in
our poultry keeping as a good liquid
louise Killer. C. Clipp, in Epitomist.

PREDICTS ONE. FLAG.
Archbishop Ireland Looks Into Flu
ture and Sees Canada Absorbed.
Churchman Declares That In a Blood.
less Conquest the United States
Will Extend It's Rule Over
the Whole OF North America.

In speaking at the banquet of the
Minnesota society in New York city
Archbishop Ireland expressed the be-
lief that Canada eventually will be I'M
der the domain of the United States.
The transition, he said, would come
without conquest, without war.
After telling of the growth of Amer
lea in comparison with other great
nations, the archbishop said:
Within few years the commerce
OF the states on the Pacific coast will
equal that of those on the Atlantic.
The development Of the lands to the
east, the west, the north and the
south is going on more rapidly and
safely than ever before, and we are
reaping and will continue to reap bene-
fits. From the east the movement will
be westward to that section, and from
the west eastward to the same destina-
ton.
Il do not want to bellicose, but I
say this for myself: AS sure as fate,
although you and may not see it, the
starry banner will wave mistress over
all the territory from the gulf to the
bay. There will be no conquest, no
war. The hearts across the border are
already beating with love for us, and
commerce and agriculture are calling
for espousals."
Reason for the increase of the
power of the United States the arch
bishop found in the universal liberty
enjoyed by the citizens. He said that
he had the greatest confidence in the
Perpetuity of America as the home of
human liberty, and that what every
American needs to insure this is con-
seriousness of ones own rights, which
should be demanded and sustained.
and, secondly, a respect of the rights
OF others, and an inclination to help
them to widen every opportunity.

MAY RULE AUSTRIA.
Chances Of Young Prince Charles
Francis Ascending the Throne.
Likelihood That There Il Some Truth
In the story That the Heir Pre-
sumptive May Abdicate In
Favor OF His Nephew.

A letter received at Dresden from
Vienna gives some interesting gossip
about the Austrian succession. In
spite Of official denials, it is not i'm
possible that there is some truth in
the story recently published by the
Neue Budapester Abendblatt of the al
legged intended abdicati ton of the heir
presumptive to the Austrian throne,
the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, in
favor of his nephew, the 15-year-old
.Archduke Charles Francis. There is
no question that the young prince has
for couple Of years past attracted a
greatly enhanced interest in Austria
Hungary and that unusual care is now
being bestowed upon his education, in
view of his proximity to the throne.
A few years ago when Francis Ferdi-
nand's health was very Indifferent, his
younger brother, Otto, the father of
Charles Francis, was for time in
formally put forward as the immedi-
ate successor of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph. Subsequently it was rumored
that Otto had expressed his readiness
to surrender his rights in favor of his
son, an exceptionally handsome boy,
whose bright, intelligent looks and
self-confident, good-humored express
sion have already done much to en-
dear him to the Viennese. In matters
directly affecting the interests Of the
dynasty, not only the reigning SOW
ereign but other members of the i'm
perial house exercise considerable
influence on such important decisions
as those concerning the succession to
the throne, and it is only man of very
strong will who can resist the urgent
representations of a family council
Of the imperial house.
At present the succession to the
throne is provided for with perfect
clearness. Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand, nephew of the emperor, stands
next in the order, and as he has for
mally renowned all claims to the sue
cession on behalf of the issue of his
morganatic marriage with Countess
Sophie Chotek, now Princess Hohen-
berg, he would be succeeded by his
brother, Otto, unless the latter should
abdlcate in favor of his son.

HOW HE SIGNED. CONTRACT.
Story of Philadelphia Publ er's
Visit to Col. Roosevelt's Camp
Mt MOntauk.

! The inspiration which caused A. r.
Keller, of Philadelphia publishing
firm to induce Mr.. Roosevelt to sign
the contract for the reproduction of
his writings in two luxurious editions
was akin to prescience. Toward the
close of the Spanish-American war
Mr.. Keller became convinced that the
hero of San Juan hill would be the
central figure in American politics.
He started for Cuba, but missed Col.
Roosevelt, who was then on his way
to Montauk Point. He went to Mon
tauk and was rebuffed, but continued
to argue his case. Finally Mr.. Roose-
welt said: "Hold on, I must think"
He jumped upon his horse and rode
away at top speed. For more than
half an hour he galloped around, and
then came back to the tent. Before
Mr.. Keller could say word the colonel
was off again, and for half an hour
longer galloped over the hills, return
ing with his animal snorting and paw
ing. He threw himself from the sad
die with the words: Cali right, I'll
do it."
There was no paper or pen in the
tent. Col. Roosevelt produced linen
cuff and the publisher fountain pen
Then it occurred to them that there
might be blank sheet in some Of the
letters lying unopened on his camp
bed. A small piece was found and
upon this contract was drawn up.
Mr.. Roosevelt will secure very large
portion out of the $s42, O5o which will
be paid for the works by the sub

grass or lettuce to provide something
green for the chicks when they are
let out on warm, sunshiny days.
I use hens to raise the chicks, and
sometimes place two in each apart

adapted for artificial brooders. The
chicks do well in this house, do not
get the gapes, and IRE safe from var
minis 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 greater part of the
winter. Before time for the new
brood, the house is thoroughly
cleaned, disinfected and whitewashed.

MoneYin Potatoes.

In some localities, notably in sections
of the East, considerable money has
been made from potatoes this season,
one man marketing 1000 barrels from 4
little over twenty-five acres at an aver
age of 50 a barrel. Such cases are, Of
course, unusual, and due to the high
prices incident to short crop. The
yield, too, is out of the common and
secured by the following treatment of
the soil: AS foundation fer the big
crop of potatoes field in sod is select
ed, heavily MANFRED. plowed under and
planted to corn, which is faithfully cul-
tiyated until waist high. The following
spring the ground is plowed deeply,
which brings up the retted sod, which
is fined by the use of cutting harrow
and drag harrows until 1t is in shape
for the seed potatoes. Potato planters
are used, the seed being dropped four
teen inches apart in the row with the
rows three feet apart. After planting
the plot is narrowed, and then cultiya-
ton begins and is kept up thoroughly
until the plants meet across the row,
the cultivation being done rs close to
the row as possible at each operation.
Thorough soil preparation and constant
and thorough summer cultivation are
the secrets Of success in potato grow

Destructive Ca bbnee Worm.

The common, white butterfly seen
in cabbage fields is an imported
insect and very destructive, says
the Orange Judd Farmer. The
adult female insect is shown in the IL
Illustration. The eggs are laid upon
cabbage and allied plants, producing
the well-known green cabbage worm.
After feeding for time the worm
leaves the plant, changes to a chry-
sails, from which the adult energies
shortly afterward. There are several
broods each season.
Attempts have been made to destroy
these pests by the cultivation of a
contagious disease, which has been
found to attack the worms. This REM
edy, however, has not been successful
and other means must be followed for
its destruction. Hand picking the
worms, although tedious, is an effec-
tive remedy ON small areas. Insect
powder, known also as pyrethrum, or
buhach, may be mixed with six or
eight times its bulk of -four and busted
on the plants. 1t should be applied

For Winter Errs.

1t is not an easy matter for one not
having had some years of experience in
poultry raising, to feed the laying hens
during the winter profitably. Corn cuts
too large figure in the winter food of
poultry. 1t is valuable food beyond all
question, but 1t is fed too literally when
eggs are wanted. An almost perfect
food for laying hens is clover hay, but
of course they can not eat enough Of
this to give them the food quantity
needed. The best way to feed clover
hay is to have it chopped fine and then
scattered on the floor in small quanti-
ties for the hens to eat of 1t as they
will. This is better than mixing 1t with
the grain or the soft foods. OF grains
If one has supply of corn, wheat and
oats with which to alternate, these
with the clover hay, bone meal and ami
NAL food once week will keep the
hens in good laying condition. Quanti-
ties and times and methods of using
the several grains are best worked out
by the feeder according to the needs
of his flock and his location. In cold
sections more corn will be necessary
than in warmer locations.

Home.Made Grain Bin,.

Where comparatively small quanti-
ties of grain are to be kept, barrels
may be utilized to good advantage.
Select two well-made sugar barrels and
set them on a platform raised few
inches from the floor, building rack
about them to hold them in position
and having the back strip of this rack
the same height as the barrels. If this
is done the cover may be hinged to this
strip and will come down closely over
the barrels. This plan is an improve
ment over the usual way of covering
the barrels with n blanket or old bags.
By having the cover the horses or
cows can not get into the barrels
should they get loose. These bins
need not be confined to two barrels,
for as many may be used as desired,
but 1T is best to arrange the covers to
cover every two barrels, so that they
may be more easily raised.

A Ration for Sheep.

Where there is a fair supply of mixed
clover and timothy hay on hand, it is
comparatively easy to carry a flock Of
sheep through the winter at light ex-
pense, provided they are in good shape
when they are put into winter quar-
tiers. With all the clover and timothy
they desire grain ration of pound
u day, made up of two parts of wheat,
one part bran and one part, oats, with
a handful of oil meal, will keep them
in splendid shape, even the breeding
ewes. Enough roots should be obtain
ed to give them an occasional feeding
of them. If the supply of hay is short,
corn slower may be substituted for
roughage, but II this is done it may be
necessary, with some sheep, to increase
the grain ration slightly. The ration
as given will be found very satisfac-
tory by feeders whose crop of corn is
limited, but who have fair supply Of
hay and corn stover, and can buy the
grains mentioned ut fairly low price.
