DOUGLASS MIXTURE.
Although Recommended as a Tonic
for Fowls, 1t Is Really a Very
Strong Poison.

Douglass mixture is composed of one
ounce of copperas, one ounce of sui
phuric acid and half gallon of water
It is recommended as tonic for fowls.
but is really poison, and while it's use
once week may do no harm, the prac-
tice of using it as a regular tonic will
result in the destruction of the flock
The free sulphuric acid (oil of vitrioD
attacks all organic substances, and the
fowl is no exception. In experiments
made, in which a teaspoonful of the
mixture was added to a gallon Of drink
ing water, the fowls were apparently
improved in appetite for few days,
but gradually declined and finally be-
came weak and debilitated. Examina-
ton of the fowls that were killed
showed the liver to be very large and
soft, while small tumors were noticed.
The intestines contained red sores, as
though the lining membranes had been
rubbed off. The throats were affected
with small tumors, and every por-
ton of the bodies seemed affected
! in some way. If a bird is healthy it
needs no such tonic, and so far as Doug
lass mixture is concerned it should be
avoided.-Farm and Fireside.

HOT WATER FOR LICE.
An Insect Destroyer Which Does Its
Work Thoroughly and Can Be
Had for Nothing.

The Messenger very sensibly says
that boiling hot water is lice killer
about which we read very little in the
poultry papers; but it does the work
very thoroughly, and is very cheap. In
a poultry house where the pests have
obtained a foothold hot water will
greatly assist in their determination.
The waste water on wash day can be
used for this purpose, being returned
to the stove after it has served its end
at the washtub and reheated. If the
walls, roosts and nesting boxes are
drenched with this the larger proper
ton of the lice will be destroyed in
stantly, and those which escape will
meet their fate in the coat of white
wash which should follow within day
Or two. If the nursery coops are
turned upside down and hot water
sprinkled over the inner surface until
it flows into and through every crevice,
not a single louise will survive the
treatment This should be done in the
forenoon of bright day in order that
all dampness may be dissipated before
the brood returns to it at night. We
have nothing laid up against the
lice killer makers, and have no desire
to injure their business. but everybody
cannot buy these things; and while
they are convenience, it is just as well
to admit the fact that they are not E
necessity. The lice can be conquered
more cheaply, but to do this involves
the expenditure of more time and la

Guinea Fowl. on Farms.

Every farmer ought to have few
guinea fowls to add to the variety of
feathered life on the farm. They are
also a good protection against such
depredators as hawks and other enc
mics of young chickens, their loud
cries on the approach of any such in
truders giving signal to the weaker
fowl to make it's escape. Guineas are
rather wild fowl and will not bear
confinement well. It is not best to
keep them unless there is good range.
The hens are great layers, but will
mostly steal their nests, and will bring
off very large broods. The young
guinea fowl are very hardy, and not
30 subject to disease as are other
fowl. ---.-.-l-
