Care of Poultry House.

Nine out Of ten poultry houses re-

except for the removal of the drop

result the lice greatly increase in num-
Der, and are responsible for the slow
growth made by many of the chickens
during the summer.
Ihere is no reason why the houses
should not be fumigated during the
summer almost as regularly as during
the winter, and the labor involved is
really not so great An abundance of
WhlteWash and some carbolic acid will
usually do all necessary to rid the
houses of lice, provided it is applied so
that all cracks and crevices are reach

new ones substituted unless the old
ones can be thoroughly cleansed.
Roosts should come down so that the

cracks; in short, the house should be
thoroughly cleansed, and that several
times during the summer.

LYNX A TERROR AT BAY.
But Scourge. of the Canadian WiIds
Will Not Voluntarily Attack Man.

Scarcely another animal presents
such a striking picture of savage
hatred, of uncompromising ferocity, as
Canadian lynx at bay. That brutal
head, with low forehead, beneath
which two cruel eyes are blazing like
evil stars; that fierce display of teeth
between the parted wrinkled lips, and
the massive, powerful feet, hiding
desh-tearing hooks of living steel, all
that personal encounter with Can
adam wildcat must end in death for
at least one of the combatants.

Many years ago the Canadian lynx
was to be found in the mountainous
districts of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania, but now he is sell

Labrador, and is quite common in GER

He is splendidly adapted for the

come, and he was thoroughly played
out when he reached the station Even
before he mounted the platform he
heard the instrument calling LIN and
realized that something was up.
A surprise awaited him as he opened
the door. Sitting at the table, with
his head on his arms and apparently
asleep, was the tramp of the afternoon.
The instrument was calling "B" ''B"
as if lives depended on an instant an
swer, and Bert had to reach over the
sleeping mans shoulder to reply. In
minute came this message from
Clairisville:
what the dickens is the matter
with you? Are there any more empt-
les on the way?"
What do you mean?" Bert asked.
81 mean that I have ditched the
seven cattle cars, and want to know
if any others got away?"
1t took some minutes to make mat
tiers plain. Several times Bert shook
the sleeper and called to him to vacate
the chair but he did not move. The
o'clock freight had brought down
sixteen cattle cars, and after backing
them in on the siding Lad pulled out
and left the switch wide open. The
section gang had passed the spot with
out noticing the switch, and when the
gale came up seven of the cars had
blown out on the main track and start
ed down the road at thirty miles an
hour. The other nine would have fol-
lowed had not one of them jumped the
track and held the rest Clairsville
had received word OF the runaway and
ditched them to prevent a smashup
with the express.
1t was a ghostly telegram that had
been sent in Bert's absence. L ne in
jure6 tramp who had left him that af-
ternoon had, for some reason, return
ed to the track later on. He must
have seen the open switch and sighted
the runaway empties. He had made
his way down to the station to give
Bert the information, and finding him
gone had sat down to the instrument
and warned CIairsville. He had given
Bert no hint that he was an operator,
but such was the case. He had sent
the message through in good shape
and saved the road a big smashup.
-wakeup-wakeu up, and shake
hands and let me thank you," Bert
shouted as the mystery was solved
and he felt his heart growing big.
No reply broke the silence which
suddenly and strangely impressed
Bert. The hands he touched were
cold.
The inquest was held at Clairsville,
and the verdict was heart disease,

Nitrogen for Sweet Corn.

The New Jersey Experiment Station
has been for three years testing diff
erent forms and amounts Of nitrogen
Gus fertilizer for sweet corn. The first
group of plants had either nitrate of
soda $50 pounds per acre, sulphate Of
ammonia 120 pounds per acre, or dried
blood two hundred pounds per acre.
Each was calculated to furnish the
same amount of nitrogen. On a second
group these amounts were multiplied
by 1 2-3, and on a third group by 212.
The three years test has shown an in
crease of 1913 to 4O.2 per cent. The
yield was largest where the most nj
trogen was applied. The returns for
sulphate Of ammonia for three years
was $12.66, for dried blood, 1895, and
for nitrate of soda 5000 per acre, and
as the average cost of fertilizer was
81 per acre, they think it pays to sup
ply the nitrogen. On cabbages they
found the best results from dried
blood, about 27O pounds per acre,
though 200 pounds of nitrate Of soda
was nearly equal in results. The aver
age increased value Of the crops was

stakes driven firmly into the ground.
The top may be covered with light
cornstalks, hay, straw or burlap; in
fact, with almost anything that will
not draw heat, and which will be fair
ly weather-proof.
Such an arrangement as shown will
be Of great benefit to the chicks, for
1t will give them a cool and shady
place after a run on the range. A
number of these shades may be made
at very small cost, so that there is no
excuse for going without such a pro-
lection for the coops.

Grain and Dairy Farming.

An important difference between
dairy farming and grain farming is
the amount Of the farm that is sold
with the product that is Of the fertility
Of the farm. The man who sells a ton
Of wheat sells in it about ST worth of
fertilizing elements, and if he does not
buy something to replace them his
farm is so much poorer. The dairy
man who sells ton of butter has sold
but fifty cents worth of fertilizing ma
terial, and if he is a good dairyman, he
has probably added much more than
that, or twenty times that to the value
of the farm in the bran, oil meal, cot
ton seed or other food that he pur-
chased while feeding his COWS for MAX
ing that ton of butter It is in this
way that the dairyman's farm is con-
tinually growing more productive, and
If he does not make much from his
dairy, he should from the crops that
he can grow on his much enriched soil.

GREATER THAN PYRAMIDS.
Hill in Illinois Surpasses, as Huge
Rock. Eqypt's Relic.


Monks's Mound, on the boundary
line between ST. Clair and Madison
counties, Illinois, was visited by a
party led by Dr. Henry Mason Baum,
of Washington.
,Sixty-three mounds form the group,
and it was pronounced by DR.. Baum
one of the wonders of the world and
the largest antiquity in the United
States.
THE unanimous view of the party
was that the mound was wholly the
work of man." said DR.. Baum. Pos
sibIy it was never completed. The
principal mound exceeds the great
pyramids of Mexico.
Most of the earth used in making
the elevations was transported more
than half a mile, and the scenes of eX'
cavation. where the builders got their
earth, are still visible in the depressed
places. Roughly estimating the Ia
efforts of 10000 men for three years to
build the mound. All of the earth
was carried in baskets.
Years ago trench was dug into
the side of the mound, but not to
sufficient extent to reveal what 1t con-
tanned In order to determine what
the mound was used for, it would be
necessary to carry trenches from dill
ferent parts toward the centre, and
this would not only require skilful eX-
cavating. but considerable time and
money. This excavating ought to be
done before the Worlds Fair.
The surroundings are much like
the Warka neighborhood, in the Tigro-
Euphrates valley. Just as the plain
stretching out from the Warka was
the great burial place of that region,
and that around the pyramids OF
Egypt the burial place of that region,
so the Cahokia neighborhood was the
place of sepulture of the population
that once inhabited the Mississippi
valley. AS the pyramids of Egypt
were the tombs of kings, so possibly
were these mounds the tombs Of the
chiefs or rulers of prehistoric race.
This remarkable locality-the
richest in the United States from an
antiquarians andpoint-should be
made a national or state park.
Zone of the wonders of the world
is at the doors of St. Louis. If pro-
vision could be made for visit to the
locality of scientific men of Europe
they would carry back with them new
impressions of the greatness Of the
prehistoric race of America-impres-
sions that they do not now dream of.

Late Fodder Crops.

Late fodder crops include Kaffir corn,
millet, sorghum, rape, corn, the cereals
and the clovers. One writer claims
that where hogs are kept rape is the
greatest Of all those mentioned, as a
half acre will feed forty hogs during
the season if the crop gets good start.
Sorghum is looked upon as one Of the
very best crops for shocking and curing
to be fed cut during the winter. AS
this crop may be seeded after cereals
have been harvested, there is still am
pie opportunity to prepare the soil and
SOW the seed. If the soil is ploWed to
a depth Of three or four inches and
afterwards we'll worked down with the
harrow and cultivators such a seed
bed will favor the production Of sew
eral tons Of cured sorghum per acre.

ghum for both fodder and seed pur-

The sowing of seed by hand is not
an economical method, as more seed
Is required than when a drill is used,
and there is larger return from the

Growing Radishes,

The radish is hardy plant and can
be grown every month from spring un-
til late In the fall. But few should be
planted at time, as they soon become
tough If left in the ground or are al.
lowed to approach maturity. To have
them crisp and tender they should be
grown on rich soil and forced, as the
sooner they reach the table stage the
better their quality.

the enumeration in 1890, 1902 mule
colts were foaled in 1880, whereas in
1899 the number had increased to 231,-
697. The actual increase of the total

Fowls will often do we'll on a small

off and become improbable just as the
owner thinks he has learned it all. The
usual reason is either that the stock

which they need. They have killed
out the grass, used up all the sharp
gravel or perhaps the soil has become
