LIQUID LOUISE KILLER.
1t Ia Simply Indispensable i'm the Sue.
cessful and Profitable Rails
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 erad-
icator until this season, when we
neglected to get quantity until tho
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
heighbors told us the louise killer did
not prove to be of any special bene-
hit 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-
~ 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 rs 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 lice. For a
deep-seated crop of lice, we use
scalding hot water, with a liberal
emount of carbolic acid, applied TO
roosts, walls, floors and all furnish
1ngs in the poultry house. Where
lice have gotten great Roadway and
seem to be alive everywhere, this is
cheap and sure remedy. It must be
used, however, every few weeks, as
they keep Matching. We know by ex-
Perience 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.

GOOD BROODER HOUSE.

ern slope. 1t is six feet high in the
rear and sHs feet in front. To Sc
cure warmth and dryness it should
he 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- the material
costs a mere trifle.
The house has tight floor and is
divided into eight apartments and a
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 a cold hen
house at night. Runs of wire net
| ting are made in front of each apart
ment, and the ground planted with
! grass or lettuce to provide something
green for the chicks when thew are
let out on warm, sunshiny days.
I use hens to raise the chicks, and
sometimes place two in each apart
ment, but the house is equally we'll
adapted for artificial breeders. The
chicks do we'll in this house, do not
get the gapes, and are safe from var
| minis that SO often play havoc with
chickens that roost about in GOODS 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 pre- 7iously
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 old message--=-=:.''Your mother is
loving you, John" It was always there.
To Jerry she wrote briefly. Jerry
was a busy man, with hundred out
side interests-outside of mother. His
letters to her were wont to be rare and
short, but there was always message
to father in them. She missed that in
Johns long, tender letters.
"1'm half afraid to write,'' she
thought, as she took up her pen; "Jer-
rvs folks have SO many rich friends,
and so many places to go to-I'm afraid
they won't want to GOMEZ But she
dipped her pen in the ink and began.
my dear boy''-she always began
her letters to both sons that way-"My
dear boy, your father says to put on
all your bonnets, every one of you, and
come to the old home to keep Thanks
giving. He's quite set upon it. You
know-you haven't forgotten, dear?-
that it is our golden wedding Thanks
giving, and it's time you came! Think
of having a father and mother so years
married and not coming! Your father
says to say he has waited as long as he
can-and you must come home or he
will disown you! And he is in earnest,
dear! He is hungry for sight of your
face. And your mother-dear boy,
come right home quick! Iwant to kiss
you all"
Both letters were sealed, and then
she directed them in her quavery,
quaint little hand. But her face was
grave enough.
I'm afraid Jerry's folks won't want
to come, and don't know what Phin-
cas- would do if they didn't. He's
set his heart. We ought not to have
waited till the last minute-I don't
see why we did. There won't be time
1or them to answer-oh, dear, they
haven't been home for so long, and
can't help thinking they won't want
to come now!"
But she went briskly to work with
her preparations. She cooked and
cooked till the shelves in her neat
pantry groaned under their loads.
Jerry>s folks could not have cleared
them in week. She made the mince
pies the way the boys had always
liked them, long ago. She made mo-
lasses sauce for the pudding because
they had been fond of that kind.
And she made two little saucer pies
she had never failed to make, long
ago. They were pumpkin pies, ar /
she crimped the edges carefully.
Jerly's girls are grown up, and
maybe they won't care for them
maybe nobody will,'' she thought,
but I always made them for the
boys, and I said I would to-day. Only
L hoped, then, that Johns folks
would come. I hoped till the last
minute"
It was the last minute now, ana

spiration. She buried up to the

SEPARATION. She buried up to the
lumber-room over the woodshed and
pulled down the long old cradle that
Phineas had pieced out long ago, to
keep baby toes from meeting when
Jerry lay at one end and little John
at the ether. 1t was heavy, but what
did mother care? The strength of
ten slender old women animated her
as she tugged and pulled it down.
Now, the pillows and the little old
log-cabin quilt! As, if she did not
know where those were! She ar
ranged them with eager fingers and
pulled the cradle into the kitchen,
for father would come in at the kitch-
en- door. Then mother went back to
Johns folks.
II want the babies, John-give me
them both for q little while," she
said. mo, don't you come, dear-do
you think don't know how to take
care Of little twin sons?"
She carried them both at once in
the old way. A little head lay warm
against each arm. There was not a
moment to lose If her plan was to
succeed, and she went away swiftly
with her precious load out to the
kitchen, straight to the little old era
die. There was time to deposit the
babies, one al each end, on the soft,
time-yellowed little pillows, and to
draw the log-cabin quilt snugly up
under each tiny pink chin There
was a minute or two even to Jog the
cradle few times, and then mother
heard the creak of Phineas' wagon
wheels. She stole softly away and
left Johns babies to do their work
alone. But prayer was on her lips.
ga little child shall lead them
it's in Thy Book, Lord. Let Johns
little children lead father back to
john" she prayed silently.
Phineas Quimby was late. The
neighbor had kept him longer than
he expected, and it fretted him.
Neighborly assistance was all right
enough, but. on Thanksgiving Day,
when your sons folks were coming
home, it was vexing to be kept al
most till dinner-time.
"Get up, Dan; get into trot, will
ye? DO you want the turkey to be

rvs folks won't know what to make
OF these do;ns; get up, there, pony!"

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 pullets. When kept together the
hens are quite apt to quarrel with
the pullets. or boss it over them.

the long table with her whitest linen
and her prettiest dishes. Then she
had dressed herself in her best dress
and sat down to wait. She was quite
pale. Mother was a little afraid of
Jerry's folks. She wished Phineas
were here to help her receive them,
but ne had been called away unex-
pectedly, and would not be back
much before dinner time. One of the
neighbors had needed him.
Somewhere down the road sounded
the rumble of stage wheels, and
mother got up, nervously, and stood
on the floor, listening. 1t was such
up in The aSage! Hark!-yes, it was
turning io.So the lane. 1t was almost
here. She must go to the door and
meet them. A strange, girlish shy
ness swept over the little old figure,
and two spots of pink color bios
somed in her wrinkled cheeks.
The rumble ceased. A confusion of
voices greeted mothers ear-sweet,
shrill little voices, with the bubble of
laughter running through them. And
then, above them all, a mans deep
voice called: "Mother! Mother,
where are you?" What did it all
mean-for it was Johns voice call
ing! It was Johns wife getting out
of the stage, and Johns little chill
dren chattering and bubbling! Johns
folks!
Mother found herself at the door
in the midst of them all, and her
wonder and faint dismay were
drowned in the sweetness and joy of
their coming and the warm rain of
their kisses on her face.
There were SO many little voices in
her ear, so many little arms around
her neck! And John was there-a
big, bearded John, with little Johns
love in his voice! There was no room
for dismay at all-only< joy. It was
later when the mystery had cleared
itself away and it was almost time
for Phineas to come that the dismay
came back. Dear land, what would
Phineas say? =. :.s-.
Mother stole away by herself and
looked things in the face. She had
not told John that it was all mis-
take, and that his letter had gone to
Jerry and Jerry's invitation come to
him. It was all clear enough now to
mother, but she had not told John.

Making the Poor Farm Pay.

Many farms are abandoned for want
of an adequate understanding of their
requirements. Ordinarily, land which
will produce a 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.

Phincas Quimby stood still over the

helpless bewilderment. Had he lost

so.

"Hush, don't speak, mother; don't

'Gentlemen," says the spokesman,
something must be done to add inter-

that in recent years, despite our efforts
to wound MAIN and kill, the sport has
awlndled in public favor. No doubt this
is because Of the increase in the number
OF wars, and the familiarity of the public
with injuries from that cause; also be-
cause of the growth of the automobile
fad. Hence, as l say, we must do some
