Keen Down LIce and n1Ites.

An Iowa correspondent of American
Poultry Journal recommends the fol-
lowing methods of dealing with lice
and mites in the poultry house: Keep
the houses clean and free from foul
odors. This can be done by cleaning
out the dropplngs not less than once a
week and sprinkling air Stacked lime
about the floors and on the dropping
boards. 1t is surprising how quickly
this lime will take up the dampness
and free the premises Of foul odors.
Have the walls OF the houses as smooth
as possible and free from all loosely
fastened strips and boards behind
which lice and mites can find a harbor
All nests and ropsts should be made
movable, so that they can be easily
taken out and sprinkled with kerosene
once every week or two weeks at the
farthest. The kerosene (the cheaper
grade is Just as good is more effective
and more lasting II a small quantity Of
crude carboic acid is added. In addi-
ton 10 this the walls OF the houses
must be given an application OF some
good lice killer. The kerosene and car
bolic acid preparation above referred
TO is very effective.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
now New weeds Are started.

How New Weeds Are started.
Carelessness IN the disposal Of waste
products is responsible for the intro
duction OF many new weeds. says
American cultivator. 1t was found
that several new varieties had spread
from the waste Of a Connecticut rub
Der factory, where old rubber shoes
were used, these having been gathered
from all parts Of the world and having
weed seeds in their Innings. Some kinds
are introduced through planting seed
which has not been thoroughly clean
ed from weed seeds. The common
practice OF throwing out garden refuse
IS responsible for the spread and per-
sistence Of some Of these weeds. A
troublesome new pest is a dodder
which twines around clover and de-
creases the clover yield. A relative
Of the Canada thistle has appeared in
southern New England and Is apt TO
cause a great deal Of trouble when It
becomes acclimated and well distrib-
uted

The Rreedinr Male.

No owner OF a good bird, the inner
itance Of which is known to be what it
ought to be. and. although not a show
bird of the highest class, but still capa-
Bile Of attaining little success in that
direction, is justified in discarding him
as a breeder without giving him a test,
says H. l.. Aller in Reliable Poultry
Journal.
A male bird capable Of transmitting
to his chicks the qualifications which
go to make up his breed type with
great uniformity is almost beyond price
to the breeder. Such a bird is unques-
tionably often disposed Of by the best
breeders without having been given a
trial, some one Of his brood brothers
with something TO his advantage as a
show, bird. but lacking in prepotency,
having been selected instead

lister to Japan, did not have an oppor-
tunity of presenting the note TO Baron
Komura, japanese Foreign Minister
as it was not delivered to him until
February Z, the day after he had been

deliver the instructions sent him Feb

FOOD .na Color Of F1ssA.

In regard to the influence Of food
on the color of the flesh it is said that
animal feed, as meat meal, scraps, etc,
tend to make it darker, says American
Agriculturist. This may be true OF
any food rich in nitrogen. At Cornell
station two similar lots Of chickens
were fed, one a nitrogenous ration Of
wheat and skim milk, the other a car
bonaceous ration Of Indian corn. When
they were killed the flesh OF the first
lot appeared darker, more tender and
juicy than the second, which, how
ever. contained larger masses Of fat.
On the other hand. ration OF yellow
corn used at the Ontario Agricultural
college and experimental farms pro
duced dark yellow flesh, while oats,
buckwheat and milk gave a creamy
white color

THE BLACK oRPINeToN.
Manner In which This Popular
Breed Was Obtained.

Manner In which This Popular
Breed Was Obtained.
The black is the oldest variety Of this
popular breed OF fowls and was intro
duced to the public in 1886 by William
Cook of England, says American Agri-
culturist 1t was several years Inter
before the breed was seen in this
country, but It has become very popular
"a the past year or two. The Orping-
tons IN general appearance resemble the
American breeds. but are possibly
somewhat larger in size. The manner
IN which the Orpington was obtained
Is thus given by William Cook, the
originator:
Over twenty-six years ago the Barred
Rocks were imported into England.
Then many black sports were found.
These we tested and found that they
laid thirty-dve to forty more eggs per
year than the Barred Rocks hatched
from the same stock and began laying
as pullets from one to six weeks earlier
than their barred sisters from the same
pen. The black hens were mated with
Black Minorca ROSTERS from the finest
laying strains obtainable.
The pullets Matched from the two
breeds were mated with Black Lang
shan ROSTERS. Then they were very
short on the leg. When making new
breed, the last bird used represents the
type Of ones future production. The
Langshan at that time was the best
layer we had in England of a dark
brown egg.

r.nsl.,nr -. 10 Eat c1over.

When 1 first fed cut clover in their
mash the hers would eat the grain out
and leave fhe c5arser pieces Of clover
and some Of the dner ones, says a
Maine btce'iar iu Commercial Poultry.
I fed for seycral weeks and had to
throw away a large Part Of the clover
At last CO. q bag Os fancy middlings
nearly as Eae as Eour and used a good
quantity OF this with the other grain
making The mash quito "doughy.' The
grain adhered to the ciover, and they
would eat all TO get the grain. 1t
wasn't long before they would pick
out the clover first. After they got
used to eating it up clean with the
middiings there was little trouble when
I left them out. But prefer a good
quality Of middllngs in the mash when
clover is included. as they seem to Ike
It better.

Treating Horse wouad..

Every wound or sore on the horse
should be washed daily with an anti
septic solution. II this is done, the
wound will heal quicker than If left
alone. and there win be no danger Of
the sore getting worse and finally caus-
ing the death Of the animal. The best
antiseptic solutions are made from the
coal tar preparations and carbolic acid.
These may be mixed with water in the
proportion of one TO eight. II these are
not handy, borax used in the water or
sprinkled on the wound after washing
it is a very good antiseptic.-Wes Ylr-

Mating rurIser..

No matter what variety Of turkeys
NAV be selected for keeping, they
should above all things be strong, Wig
orous. healthy and well matured, but
not akin. says G. f.. Mitchell. Better
secure the females from one locality
and the male from another to insure
their nonrelntionship rather than run
the risk Of inbreeding. In oil fowls it
is well to remember that size is infiu-
enced largely by the female and the
color and finish by the male. Securing
overlarge males 20 pair with small,
weakly hens is not wise policy. A me
dium sized male with good, fair sized
females Of good constitutional vigor
and mature age will do far better than
the largest male with the smallest fe-
males.

Collar nna saaaIs sors..

Collar and saddle sores on horses are
very annoying to them. They usually
appear in the early spring, when horses
are first put to work and before they
are thoroughly seasoned. We find them
more often on horses that are put to
work with heavy disks or plows on un-
broken ground. They occur, too. when
the saddle or collar does not flt proper
", either being too large or too small.
II is therefore Of great Importance to
keep the collar perfectly clean. rubbing
the dandruff and perspiration or with
a cloth every night and then smoothing
the surface with a cloth dampened with
a little kerosene oil. The accumulation
of dandruff Is also found on the collar
pad on top Of the neck, and 1t is re-
sponsible for producing most Of these
sores.

DIRECTORS INSPECTED BANK
Found Everything in Good Shape and
Little Repairs Needed.

Directors OF the Cherry Island Marsh
Company made their annual inspection
Of the banks of the Delaware river from
Edge Moor down Yesterday and found
that in spite OF the severity of last winter
that they were IN good condition.
The Immense quantities OF ice that had
been piled up along thes hores of the
Delaware and Christiana rivers during
the winter had protected the marsh
banks from the inroads of the tides aud
thus saved considerable money that would
otherwise have TO be spent in making re-
pairs. The only repair work that will have
70 be done viii be to a few OF the sluloes
and as these have TO be repaired every
year the directors feel that the land Is IN
hrst-class condition.

IN. Profitable cnpon.

Caponizing is becoming more popular
and more generally practiced than ever
before. The caponizing Of all the
young eockerels is the very best way to
care for them, as larger numbers OF
capons can be kept together this way
than would be possible in the natural
state. They grow to a large size, are
heavier and can be sold for either
capons or roasting fowls whichever
has the best demand in the market

It is a debatable question in our
neighborhood as to whether fowls
should be allowed to go out IN winter
after the cold weather really sets in,
says an Ohio woman in Commercial
Poultry. Some affirm the fowls should
decide the matter; that the poultry
house should be left open In daytime
so they can go out IL they wish.
have tried both ways, keeping them
shut in all winter and also letting
them go out in moderate weather.

Get neehixen Ready.

Now is the time to get your beehives
ready for the swarms, II you have not
done so before. Put two coats Of good
white paint on them. 1t does not pay
to let beehives set out in the weather
and in a few years rot for want Of
paint when they can be made to last a
lifetime If properly painted. They cost
too much to be neglected and let rot
out In a few years. Always use clear
white paint, as this absorbs less heat
during the summer than any other

Chicken Notes.

The best incubator made won't run
itself.
The early laying pullet is a good one
to save.
Any standard breed OF poultry is
good II you like it.
Coops containing broods Of chicks
should be moved frequently.
No matter what breed you have, II
takes care to make fine fowls.
Too much poultry is hard to get on a
farm where there is plenty Of open
range.
