which those fingers working, as it
were, on the right wrist of Divine

everlasting memorial to his name.

The poultry raiser is too often in
clined to work out the problem OF
poultry raising rather than to take
from others his information. This is
especially true IL the owner of the
poultry happens to be a farmer with
just few hens. For when he was a
boy he took care of chickens, and that
is the start he has or thinks he as
Of others. But the great world around
us is full of wisdom that has been
gained by the experiences Of thou
sand lives, none of those lives running
parallel to the others. 1t has been
said that a man can learn more in
one year by taking information from
others than he could gain in his own
experience in twenty years. The say
ing, unlike many popular adages, is
true. The first thing a new man at
poultry raising should do is 10 go
Systematically about learning from
others. This will cost him something
in the way of time and money, but 1t
will be the best investment he can
make.

country, They are bred for exhibition

teal purposes. They are OF medium
size, and in carriage are particularly
upright and powerful looking, the
back being almost always at an angle
of forty-five degrees. Their plumage
is very close and red or maroon and
black in color. The body tapers from
the broad shoulders to the tail, which
droops almost in a straight line with
the back. The thighs are long and
powerful. A striking feature Of the

Bulletin 40, Department Of Agricul-
ture: The mite that causes cattle itch,
or mango, is closely related to the mite
that causes sheep scab-both belong
ing to the same genus and species, but
are different varieties. The sheep-scab
mite will not attack cattle, nor will
the cattle mite attack sheep or other
animals. The itch mites are found to
be very numerous upon affected cattle,
and very small quantity of debris
from an actively infested area of the
skin will often reveal a surprisingly
large number of the parasites. These
mites may be removed from an animal
and retain their vitality for a long
time. Specimens have been collected
and kept in small glass bottles in the
laboratory at the ordinary tempera-
ture of the room during the win$3r
months varying from As to so degrees,
which lived from eight to eleven days.
Exposure to bright sunlight, however.
would kill most of the mites in a few
hours. Scabies does not appear to af-
feet cattle while they are doing well on
grass nor attack those in good condi-
tion over three years old. The ami
mails that suffer most are calves, year
lings, and two-year-olds, and those in
poor condition. The first symptom Of
the disease is usually an intense itch
ing of the skin about the neck or
shoulders, and it extends more or less
rapidly, depending upon the health
and vigor of the animal, along the
back and sides and down the outside
of the legs, but does not usually af-
feet the inside of the legs or the skin
of the abdomen.

Henry S. Carr now a deputy at the
county jail, was one OF the youngest
spies in the service OF either side in
the war between the North and the
South At the age Of 10 Mr.. Carr re-
ceived his first instruction.
il was the year that the Louisville
forts were built The order for all
able bodied men of certain ages to as
sist in the construction of the forts
had been issued, and many Southern
sympathizers, were looking about for
some way to evade the edict says the
Louisville Courier-Journal. Judge S.
A. Carr, father of the deputy jailer,
openly declared that he would do no
work for the soldiers from the North.
He also declared that his negroes
should not help build the forts, and
the officer in command OF the federal
troops heard of it. A squad of soldiers
was dispatched at doube-quick time to
the Carr homestead which was with
in hundred yards of Western Park.
When the soldiers arrived they
found a barefoot boy sitting upon a
fence post. He was swinging his legs
and whistling as only some boys can.
A lieutenant was in charge of the sol
diers and he drew rein when he saw
the boy. He inquired for Judge Carr
The boy shook his head and answered
that he did not known him.
The soldiers passed. An hour later
they returned and the boy was still
upon the gate post All day the SOL
diers searched in the woods and all
day the boy sat upon the gate post.
The following morning the soldiers
returned and again the boy was upon
the gate post.
81 sat there for about four days"
said Mr. Carr. MY father and several
neighbors and all of their negroes
were hid in the woods, and by means
of signal code we were able to com
municate with one another.
Two or three men were stationed in
the treetops. We all had white hand
kerchiefs, I watched the soldiers. One
wave meant that they were in the
neighborhood, two meant that they
were leaving, and three meant that
they were not in sight and that all

Mr. John Howat, in an address said:
The lamb has its enemies and the
shepherd that can succeed in constant
ly getting a crop of lambs on the mar
ket without serious loss is deserving
of a statue. The stomach worm is
the worst enemy of the lamb. We
have read and studied and expert
mented with all or nearly all of the
so-called remedies, worm powders,
gasoline, trrpentine. and so forth, but
the conclusion OF the whole matter
is that in the long run they do not
pay. The damage to the lambs thrift
is not compensated for in results. Our
theory, which we have partly demon
strated by practice, is to feed the
ewes and lambs grain until the lambs
are in the habit of seeking grain On
their own account, then feed corn in
a creep with tonic that will aid
digestion and keep the stomach in
the most vigorous condition. This is
the only cure or preventive against
stomach worms that is practicable
and profitable.

she was through she discovered that

that she was locked in. The office
employees had left, because it was a

several hours to make herself heard.
She finally struck an idea, and

she was in. and in a few minutes
workmen were using cold steel on the
