LIQUID LOUISE KILLER.
1t Is Simply Indispensable in the suc-
cessfuI and Profitable Rails
ing CT 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 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
heighbors told us the louise killer did
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. Their 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 20
roosts, walls, floors and all furnish
ings in the poultry house. Where
lice have gotten a great Roadway and
seem to be alive everywh re, this is
cheap and sure remedy. 1t must be
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 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
anything that was as profitable in
our poultry keeping as a good liquid

How to Grind kahr 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. j. 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 Kaffir-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. 1t is six feet high in the
rear and So 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 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 they 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 well
adapted for artificial breeders. 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 yoosts 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.

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,
and the young and more active pull
lets are naturally quicker to move
and will get the greater part of the
food.

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 fertiliza ton, 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.

RURAL SCHOOL REFORM.
How Country Teachers should BE Ed
ucated to he SuccesFfuI in
Their Work

There has been a great deal of talk
lately in regard to the teaching of
agriculture and horticulture in the
rural schools. Doubtless great good
could be accomplished in this way if
there were teachers qualified for the
work. But the so-called normal
schools turn out too many drilled
autOm2ta and do little in the real
teaching of nature. If the country
school-teachers could all be given a
short course in agriculture and hCrti-
culture at the state colleges of agri-
culture we might after awhile have
men and women prepared to take up
the work in an elementary way in the
rural schools. But as the short
courses at these colleges mostly come
in the winter months, when the teach
ers are employed, there arises need
for summer schools for this purpose.
These might be made a strong force
in the progress of nature teaching.
With teachers enthused for the work,
there would soon come some applica-
ton of what they have learned in the
planting and beautifying of the school
grounds. There is nothing like the
actual work in planting trees and
flowers and caring for them to make
children fond of nature and her prod
ucts, and there is nothing better cal
culated to drive the young people
from the farm than the comfortless
and ugly schoolhouses and their ill
kept surroundings. Getting the young
people interested in plant life will
then be apt to draw them to the farm
ers' institutes. and the institutes will
never accomplish what they should in
the education of the farmer till they
catch him young enough,-Practical
