nearly wild with terror.

while he was trying to fix this, the
kettle tipped and rolled over and went
crashing down the sewer, making q
noise and racket which echoed and
resounded throughout the whole
length of the narrow tunnel in the
most appalling manner.
"The lion, who had resisted every
thing else in the way of capture, at
once turned tail like a veritable
coward, and, racing down the sewe,
at mad gallop, was soon lost to sight
as though the earth had suddenly
swallowed him. We wondered where
he could have gone, as he had not
time enough, to run far, but following
him up, we found him in a sorry
plight.

as that was the most anxious night

out of the question.
"On the afternoon of the following

*'On the opening day we ran one

Dust Baths.

We hope our readers will not forget
that there are only certain times in
the year when dust may be had from
the welltraveled highway. During
most of the year the road is ethics
frozen or muddy or in the process OF
drying, at which time it is not pos.
sible to get dust suitable for the use OF
the fowls. A few barrels of dust al
this time of year will serve to keer
the fowls free from body lice all the
rest of the time. It will require q
little effort to make this collection
now, but it will save much work later
on busting the fowls one by one with
sulphur compounds or insect powders.
This hand work should be avoided as
much as possible. Give the fowls a
good dust bath and they will take care
of the lice question.
1t may be necessary to go some dis
tance to get the dust desired unless
the road in front of the farm house is
we'll travelled. The dust bath should
be arranged in a good-sized box and
placed in the pen in place where the
sun will strike it and keep it dry
The hens like to lie and dust them
selves in the sun, especially in winter
During the summer months a dust
bath may be made out of doors, near
the poultry house, but should be pro
tected from above by some kind of q
protection against roin. Otherwise q
sudden shower may turn the whole
thing into mud and it will be several
days in drying out.
The greatest difficulty we have
found with the dust bath is the inclina
ton of the hens to roost on the edge
of the box at night. If cover is put
over it, they try to roost on the cover
But this can be obviated by hinging
the cover to the wall and having i
drop over the box in a slanting man
ner. The fowls will then find it i'm
possible to stick on the cover, much
as they may desire to do so. We
have had; hens make the dust bath
their laying place, and this is always
annoying. We have no panacea fo1
this evil, but it does not always occur
Where it does, and becomes serious

grounds for experimentation. >-~@
We would like the experiences o1
our readers on the question of dust
boxes and dust baths. What have they
found the most serviceable arrange
ment of the box AID what has been

ers provide their fowls with any dust
