Sheep Dip for Fowls.

For destroying chicken lice, F. E.
Emery of the Wyoming station recon-.
mends that the fowls be dipped In
solution of sheep dip. He estimates
that ten to twelve and a half gallons
will be sufficient for thirty to forty
fowls. The plumage should be thor
oughly soaked, and care exercised to
prevent the solution getting into the
lungs of the fowls. Yards and build
ings should he sprayed with the same
preparation. Mr.. Emely's directions
seem n little unsafe, since sheep dip
differ greatly in composition. Those
which contain the different oils of
petroleum origin are liable to do seri-,
Gus injury to the plumage and skins
Most of the dipping preparations should
first be tried very cautiously. Aside
from the proper arrangements for re-
moving and cleaning roosts and nest

Value of Dry Earth.
Farmers are continually advised to
use such materials as gypsum, dried
swamp muck and kainit in the barns

would like to use preservatives and

These will find hint IN the foreign

thick, proved enough to hold the am

each hole by a bolt or hook, and the

Mr.. Hugh Egerton. of Louisburg, hap
pened to a serious accident at Ridgeway
yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock, as
he was attempting to board the Seaboard
Air Line train, due in this city at p m.
He was on the train coming south and

some distance from the cars. Before he
was aware of it the train pulled out and
when he attempted to catch the end of
the rear ear his hand slipped and he
fell with one leg under the car and it
was terribly crushed. Physicians were
at once summoned and all medical atten-
ton possible was given him until the
S A. L. special came along and he was
brought to Raleigh and carried to Rex
Hospital Dir. Rogers was summoned
and it was found necessary to amputate
the leg just above the ankle. DR.. Har-
ris. of Henderson, accompanied Mr..
Egerton to Raleigh. The many friends
of Mr.. Egerton will be panied to learn
of his misfortune. but will be glad To
know the injury was not greater Last
