They agreed that they had. Well. he
said. they were men of families. When
he saw that he was losing ground. his
persuasive powers having been eX-
hausted. he gathered one of the girls
in his arms and gave her an old fash

fast, and had pulled his collar around

took short cut, crossing through a
vacant lot, where a pathway had been
worn. She turned several times, and

know before that it was she, or he
would have shouted at her not to be
afraid of him. She said she never
knew before that he was so ugly at

air, and a scratching shed open to the
south, yet protected by wire netting so
that thieves will not enter nor fowls
escape. Large houses are bad. The
size twelve by twenty-four feet seems
a good one, giving a roosting room
eight by twelve feet, and a scratching
shed twelve by sixteen feet. Windows
In the roosting house may have glass
or simple wooden doors that may be
fastened open in summer will answer
quite as well, for the fowls will live
mostly in the scratching shed. Nesting
boxes may be placed along the back
wall of the shed, high enough to be
kept clean. Simple earthen floors
raised up a foot will answer, though
if rats are bad, cement will save trou-
BILE.
In England the scheme is to have
many small houses built on this gen.
eral plan, but smaller and movable,
scattered all about the the fields and
many hundreds Of laying fowls thus
segregated. That would be an excel
cen summer scheme in our land If
thieves did not work among them too
much.
Ferrets will destroy some rats and
drive others from their hiding. Where
many cats are kept rats will not stay.
1t is a help to build so that cats can
enter easily beneath every building
that has a floor. Feed the cats milk at
the barn, encourage them to live half
wild and rats will move o%n.-Joseph E.

Twenty years from now it will be
a rare sight to see a cow with horns on
the dairy farm. Experience has thor
oughly demonstrated that the hornless
COW is the safe COW, nor is she injured
in the slightest degree as a milk pro-
aucer. While the adult COW may be
safely dishorned with the modern i'm
plements now in use, it is best to start
In with the calves that are to form the
new herd.
Get a stick Of caustic potash from
the drug store, wrap a piece of cloth
around n end Of it, then cut the hair
rom around the spot where the embryo
horn may be felt on the head of the
calf, rub the spot and all around it for
two inches with lard, then moisten the
stick of caustic potash and rub it
around the embryo horn several times,
After finishing the job put the stick
Of potash away where no one will
touch it and be injured. The calf will
not suffer in the operation and the
horns will be destroyed.

AGRICULTURAL
Lice on Cattle.

In the majority Of cases it may be
truly said that negligence is RESPONSE
BILE for lice on cattle during the winter
when they are in the stable, although
there may be exceptions. If you find
lice on the cattle get rid Of them by
applying with a brush a mixture com.
posed of two parts of lard to M part
of kerosene oil. Apply this to the spots
where the lice have been at work nee
q week, and a few applications will
subdue the vermin.
Then go to work to prevent any more
trouble. Clean the stables thoroughly.
using carbolic acid as a di%sinfectant,
whitewash the sides of the stable and
let a liberal portion of the lime get on
to the floor. Then groom the cows &C.
%casionally, at least, and see that they
get exercise daily either out Of doors
or in a protected shed. Take are Of
the cows, and there is likely to be little
trouble with lice.
