Starting CUTTINGS.

Cuttings can be started in pots OF
sandy compost, with a glass tun5ler
over to coniine the moisture, and keep
them from the sun for two or three
days; then place the pots in the warm.
est window, exposed to the southeast.
Wet sand is also good for growing
cuttings, and they will start quicker
than In compost. A shallow pan is
preferable; ell it up with sand mot
sea sanG, sopping wet, then press in
the cuttings tightly and keep them
wet. When new leaves show them
selves, in two or three days, trans
plant into pots, filed with light, sandy
loan. After shading a day or two they
may have ample sunshine and suii-
cient water to keep them moist. Cut
tings taken from the fresh growth OF
a plant strike best. It is better to
break Off branch of geraliums than
cut it, if it breaks easily. Cuttings
OF roses, heiiOtrope, etc, will grow
better if taken of ct the junction OF
the Old ard new wood, and should be
cut off just below point or bud, as
the roots start from that point, and if
bud is not lett near the base the cut
ting is liable to decay in the sell.

We have received SO many inquiries
| from our readers, asking for advice
| regarding poultry yermin, and the
that we think few practical sugges-
lions will not be a,niss.
To begin with, vernin, or, ss poultry
people usually say, chicken lice, are
caused by neglect, by which we mean
not necessarily neglect of food or
water, but failure to properly care
for the house and yards
Pigeons are source of trouble rarely
reckoned with by one who breeds
poultry. Nevertheless, every pigeon is
alive with lice. and when allowed to
have the freedom of the poultry yards,
it is but question of a short time
when the poultry will become a prey
to the pests.
1t is also necessary to keep constant
lookout, even though no outside danger
appear, as lice seem to spring up at
times when least expected.
Our first duty is TO prevent their ap-
pearance, and this can surely be done
Keep the house clean, whitewash Of
ten, keep the roosts saturated with
kerosene, burn all old straw and lit
ter at least once month, and do not
allow strange fowls to come to the
yards without first being examined and
treated with insect CT some ether good
disinfectant powder.
II these simple precautions are OBJ
served it is positively certain that
poultry will never be troubled with
mites. but should the pest once appear
the strictest methods must be adopted,
which are about as follows:
Contine every fowl in a building and
dust each one carefully with insect
powder, and repeat every few days
for two weeks.
This will rid them Of mites, but at
tention must be given the house, other
wise the labor has been wasted.
Begin first by removing all trash.
straw, old nests and litter from the
house, and burn the entire lot, Then
scald the interior with boiling hot wa

crevice has been reached. Then white
wash with a. strong solution, into
which Is added an ounce to each gal!
