he had been guilty. lie is very fond

the offense Of which he had been gull

Pre,ee, Fowl. Erom Lice.

From Farmers Review: Tho pro.
lection of fowls from lice il ono OF
the essential POINTS In raising poui.
try. especially in getting show birds.
! iiud by close observation during my
recent years OF experience along this
line that there arc two different fam.
lilies of these troublesome pests. Tho
small mites that arc found about and
on the roosts and the large lice tina,
breed on the fowls. Tho last men.
toned arc not very hard to get rid OF
II each fowl Is busted literally with
some good insect powder occasional.
~. A convenient time to apply this
IL after they have gone to roost. Tho
nrst mentioned arc the ones that take
persistent effort TO keep down. Tho
following rules strictly adhered to are
as good as I have been able to find:
First. clean your house thoroughly of
droppings. litter and cobwcbs. etc.
and burn plenty of birthstone in Il.
Then ~hitewash II. using plenty of
carbolic acid In the mixture. Then.
after scalding roosts with hot water.
paint them with lice paint. and you
have a clean house. Keep dropping
Loards clean every day and have
roosts painted over every two or
three weeks. and the victory is al.
most IL not entirely won. lf one uses
an incubator he need not be bothered
with lice on young chickens. but with
hens the battle is on. These are my
plans. which find are very success.
iul: Dust the hen when set thorough.
ly with insect powder. then again the
third week, and then again when done
tatching, also all the little fellows.
and put in coop that you feel sure
ir free of lice. Cleanliness, first. last
and all the time, is the prevention
which is worth several pounds of
cure.-P. II. HaNhman. Moultrie

noh approaches the ewes ought TO be

not be done easier than by giving
them the run of the atubblc' fields
after the grain is stacked. Before the
breeding season Is over the winter
will have set in. and the flock will be
In their winter quarters. No clabo
rate building is necessary. A hay
rack running round the inside. with
a small door In the center. Just large
enough for one sheep to 60 In and
out when tho big door is shut. II
must be dry and entirely free from
drafts for the sheep to do well: 50xso
feet will be ample accommodation for
hundred good sized ewes. until
lambing time. The winter feed should
be wild hay. oat straw or oat shcavcs.
They may be allowed to run at the
oat stack. II care Is taken to remove
the ovcrhansinE portions as they cat
IL away from under. to prevent the
chaff from getting into their wool.
The hay is fed In the rack inside, and
only what they will eat up clean. Al.
ways clean out the racks before the
next feeding. have often heard II
said that sheep won't drink water.
but that is a mistake: they will drink
large quantities Of water at the riEh,
time and place. They won't drink
out of water hole on cold day. but
watered In their pens and In troughs.
a hundred head will drink almost two
barrels a day. I think good water is
most important. Keep salt where they
winter.
