KEROSENE KILLS POULTRY.
It Destroyed the Lice, It Is True, But
Seventy Nice Young Turkeys
Went with Them.

Among other things that attracted
our attention in going about last sea-
son was the quick and extended de-
struction that kerosene oil will bring
to q lot of young chickens or turkeys
where it is used as an ointment to
destroy lice, fleas or bugs. In one
instance a raiser who had 4 fine lot
of young turkeys discovered that some
lice were bothering them little, and
at once proceeded to rub them with
lard in which some kerosene oil had
been mixed.
Always prior to this time this
breeder had been very successful with
the use of lard alone, but the addi-
ton of kerosene having been recon-
mended, it was tried, and over 70
young turkeys were killed by the ex-
pertinent. Hundreds of young chicks
have been killed in the same way, and
yet people will tell you to use 1t, and
people will use it in spite of all that
you can tell them The best and most
innocent remedy to be used in this
way is to dip your finger, or a small
stiff brush, into sweet oil and thor
oughly anoint the parts where the in
sect vermin are, and this will kill
them all and in no way injure the
young chick or poultry.
We presume that every paper in the
country interested in poultry in any
way has recorded in its columns the
danger of using kerosene for this pur-
pose, and yet, as stated above, people
will continue to use it.
Nothing can be more destructive
than are the insect vermin when once
they get foothold among your young
chicks or turkeys. One very success
full turkey raiser carefully examines
every morning every young turkey up
to six weeks old, prior to allowing
them their freedom. When lice are
discovered upon the young turkeys
they are either destroyed by the
thumb nail or touched with sweet oil,
which quickly ends their existence.
This breeder succeeded in raising 70
out of some rs or n that were
hatched.-The Feather.

WHEN POULTRY IS AILlNG.
A Short description Of the Symptoms
Of the Many Diseases Of W
Hens and Chicks. -

When the excrement secreted by tie
kidneys, which is normally pure white,
appears yellow, though the droppings
are solid and the bird appears perfectly
healthy, look out for bowel trouble.
When the crop is hard and unyielding
there is danger of the bird becoming
crop-bound.
When the discharges are streaked
with blood, it is time to give preventives
for diarrhoe&
When the joints are hot and swollen.
and the fowl is disinclined to stand.
rheumatism has taken hold.
When the nostrils are clogged with
dirt, and the eyes water, ward off pos
sible case of roup by timely treatment.
If the case is bad, apply the Ratchet and
bury the carcass.
When the bird seems lame, and has
smalI swelling on its foot, remove to q
house with no perches, and oblige it to
roost on bed Of straw. Bumble-foot is
easily cured in the early stages If the
cause is at once removed.
When hen seems to drop down be-
hind, and goes repeatedly to the nest
without laying, she is usually suffering
from .. disorder of the oviduct, and
might as we'll be killed and eaten.
When a bird is going light" has
good appetite, but passes food from the
bowels undigested, it is the early stage
Of consumption, and treatment is USE
less.
When the hen seems giddy, and turns
round and round, she is probably SUI
fering from apoplexy.
When the bird has leg weakness, with
| no disorder of the liver, feed lighter.
and give plenty of oone-feeding mate
rial.
When new fowls are bought, quaran-
tine them until sure they have no dis
| ease.
When a fowl has difficulty in breath
ing, look out for pneumonia.
When a fowl is dangerously sick with
an organic disease, it is worse than use
less as breeder. 1t is usually safer to
kill bad case of illness than to try to
cure it.-Farmers' Gazette, Canada

Dressing Fowls for Market.

In scalding ducks and geese the wa
ter must be of the same temperature
as for chickens, but they must remain
longer in the water, as their feath-
ers are shaped to turn even hot wa
ter. Some people prefer not to leave
them in the water so long, and after
removing them wrap them up in a
blanket to steam. But this is lit
tie risky when picking for shipment,
as not all persons who help in the
picking process know just exactly how
long to let them steam, and often
when taken from the blankets the
flesh is cooked. After picking off all
down and feathers hold them about IL
seconds in scalding water to plump
them.-Rural Home

There is 10 better or cheaper food

"A man who thought his race was

'Then my sister got after me to

persuaded me, and although no other
food had done me the least bit OF
good, my stomach handled tho Grape
Nuts from the first, and this food sup

all in his power for his election. That
was natural, as Mr.. Tillman and Mr..
Croft, senior, were for years partners
at law. Besides there were many other
reasons why certain men did not stand
to Mr.. Williams in that race who will
give him their support.
Mr.. Croft is neutral in the present
contest, and Mr.. Williams confidently
expects the support of his friends in
this, Saluda and Edgefeld counties,
which will place him in the front rank
of the contestants. The candidate who
beats Mr.. Williams will be the next
congressman.
Edgefeld has always stood by her
men and she will stand by him and will
give him handsome send off. Besides,
he is competent as any man in the race
and his past record will show that he
is without a blemish. He is not afraid
of any attack that can be made on that
record. With the large vote of Edge
field county, that of Saluda, and the
good vote that he is assured of in
Aiken, there seems to be no doubt but
that he will lead in the first primary
with strong chances of winning in the
second.
In Edgefeld, Saluda and Aiken, he
confidently expects a grand send off.
These hopes of Mr. Williams are not
unfounded, especially as he is the only
farmer in the race. | mean by the only
farmer, that he is the only man in the
race who has no other calling. There
may be other candidates who have a
side line of farming, but they cannot be
said to be simon pure farmers. Our
grateful population is very tenacious of
its rights and its just claim to have
representation in all departments of
our government. If they follow
their usual rule in that respect. Mr..
Williams will receive their votes and
that is tantamount to an election Hon

know that money is money and politics

know that money is money and politics
are politics, as experience has shown.
In politics all kinds of influences con-
troll the result. Sometimes it is one
thing and sometimes it is another; but,
in that race there seemed to have been
two very potent influences at work.
One was the respect in which Mr..
George Croft was held by large num-
Der of voters of the district and their
desire to do honor to him by honoring
his son, Mr.. L. G.. Croft, and the other
was, it is claimed the ambition of GER
tain men who had the congressional bee
buzzing in their bonnets, and while not
in the race, were willing to see those
in the race sacrificed by giving their
support to young Croft. They did not
want others given send off by being
elected to the short term, it being
known that Mr.. Croft would not offer
for the long term His election there
fore would not hurt their aspirations
and the defeat of the others would give
them setback that would be in the
interest of those who were holding
themselves in reserve.
That will, in great measure, it is
said, account for the fact that some Of
the candidates received such srall
vote was polled. Altogether, under the
circumstances that race did not show
the real strength of any of the candi-
dates in the field.
There were about three men in the
county who desired to enter for the
long term who had number of friends
and those friends would naturally vote
i'll manner to strengthen them by sup
porting Mr. Croft
All of the obstacles having been re-
moved and there now being an open
field, the chances of Mr.. Williams have
been greatly improved and he feels con-
hdent of election
There were two candidates, or rather
men prominently spoken of in connec-
ton with the race for Congress for the
short term, who openly advocated the
electio of Mr.. Croft in Edgeheld coun-
ty. and who under ordinary circum-
stances would be and no doubt are now,
