Chicken Mites.

\ reader asks how to rid little
dicks of mites and also how to rid
IT, coops and houses of them. The
f. mer is very easy, but one who un-
dcrtakes the latter, especially after
the mites have gained a foothold,
will find himself facing a very diff
cult undertaking. Of course it is
useless to rid the chicks, or for that
matter the old hens, unless we free
the house and coops first, and to do
this successfully determined stand
must be taken. No halfway work
will answer. Begin first by remov-
ing every chick and fowl to another
yard, where they must remain until
the task is done.
Clean out the litter, old nests and
rubbish of every kind and burn it.
Then with scalding hot water drench
the walls, ceiling, roofs and ground
and if possible repeat this again the
next day.
After the walls have dried white
wash thoroughly, and into the white
wash put at least two ounces of car
bolic acid, being careful that it reach
es well into every crack. Pour coal
oil on the roosts, nests and dropping
boards and sprinkle lime over the
ground.
In ten days spray coal oil again
over the roosts and boxes, and if
there is any sign of mites whitewash
the walls as before.
During the time we are doing this
work the chickens should be looked
after. If any are still following the
mothers soak few leaves of tobacco
in lard or drippings and grease the
hens on top of head, under wings
and under tail, and this will not only
rid the hen of them but theachicks, in
nesting under her, will also become

ENTIRELY HARMLESS.
So-Called Cabbage Worm Well
Meaning Req
tile.

The Department of Agriculture
has Just issued an interesting bulle-
tin, which explodes the story that
cabbage snake worms, or hair
worms, are poisonous and when eat
en- in cooked cabbage are the cause to
death. The cabbage snake horror
was, in NANNY respects, like the kiss
ing bug craze. 1t originated in the
fall of 1903 by the discovery of the
so-called cabbage snake, and species
of hair-worm, in the heads of cab
bage in Tennessee, South Carolina
and Louisiana. Rumors of persons
being poisoned by eating cabbage af-
fected by this hair worm were mag
nifed by the yellow journals until
genuine scare pervaded the ranks of
cabbage eaters all over the country.
Fed by erroneous reports. evident
ly melted in many cases by unscru-
pulous persons the scare soon be-
came widespread, causing general
fear of poisoning.
The Department of Agriculture,
after long series of experiments in
feeding the cabbage snake raw and
cooked to rabbits, guinea pigs and
other animals, and in injecting the
juice of the worms hypodermically,
declares that none of the reports has
any foundation. in fact. and that the
worms are perfectly harmeless. The
length Of the cabbage snake. the de-
partment says, varies from two to
nine inches instead Of nine feet, as
some of the sensational newspaper
have reported.

TOO ACTIVE IN POLITICS,
DIR. Milton Boards Record
Discussed BY Blackburn.
Prediction that John W. YerkeS
Would Be the Next Gov
ernor of Kentucky.

Senator Blackburn spoke at Hop
kinsville last week in the interest of
his candidacy for the United States
Senate
After brief discussion of nation
al issues, mostly concerning trusts,
with particular reference TO the
operations of the tobacco combine
in this region and praise and en-
coUragement for the Dark District
Planters Protective association in
its fight for better prices, he turn
ed his attention to the State admin
istration, branding it as political
machine that had declared his doom
and decreed his destruction, refus-
ing him a square deal and leaving no
stone unturned to accomplish his de-
feat because he had refused to wear
its collar and be party TO its 'infa-
nous transactions. " He claimed
that the administration offered him
his nomination by reclamation if he
would promise to attend solely to
national policies and leave State
matters to 1.-The machine. " He
charged DR.. Milton Board, superin-
tend of the Western Kentucky asy-
lum for the insane, with pernicious
political activity and said DR.. Board
must have the executive capacity of
a first Napoleon to he able to proper
ly conduct an asylum with nine
hundred or thousand unfortunate
patients and still devote a half or
three-fourths Of his time to politics
as a member of the State Central
Committee, State Campaign Com
mittee and machine agent for all
IF Western and Southern Kentucky.
He concluded his speech by predict
ing that John w. Yerkes would be
the next Republican candidate for
Governor and that the State would
be lost to Democracy unless the ma
chine be destroyed and a strong
State ticket nominated by the peo-
pie themselves.

SKUNK FARM.
Is Better Than Gold Mine, and
Owner ReapS a
Fortune.

f.. G. Trip. of Atikoman. Mani
toba, claims that he is the only man
on the American continent who is.
making money by running fox
farm. whicn lie has established on
Clearwater Lake, Is miles North
of Banning, on the Canadian North
ern Railroad.
1t is three years since he started,
with a pair of silver gray foxes.
Now he has Is silver gray and four
black foxes. His farm comprises IL
acres, which he is fencing with wire
netting, 10 feet high, sunk to bed
rock and water level. Inside this
wire Enclosure are the breeding pens
where the families are kept seperate
from one another during breeding
time. This Is imperative. as the
females will kill each other and also
the young kittens if they are not
watched. Trip is now arranging
to spend 800 on his farm, and
will add to the number of foxes on
hand. He assumes that his enter
prise will shortly be worth more than
a gold mine. on account of the fact
that black and silver gray fox skins
are getting scarcer each year and he
will reap the benefit of a raising
market.
About the same time that Mr..
Trip started his fox farm Louis
Seiberry discovered that there was
money in raising skunks and started a
farm on Half Moon Island. in the
Lake of the Woods. not very far
from Banning. He secured six of
these little animals, and as they are
very prolific he had 4S in the next
year.
Last year he killed 400 Of the
skunks and realized 81 apiece for the
skin, and this winter he expects to
be able to kill nearly 1000. Occa-
sionally he has found one entirely
black. which he has kept seperate
and consequently now has quite a
number of the little black animals.
He asserts that his skunk farm it
worth NOR. than Mr.. Trips fox
farm or a gold mine.

destroyed every mite.
Those hens which have no chicks
may be treated likewise, but a
thorough dvsting of Persian insect
powder will answer just as well.
Watch the house all the time and do
not let the mites get a start.

ance. but difficult to get rid Of

BOSTON GENIUS
Placed Live Wire on Back Fence
and Cats Had a Sur
prise.

Detective Charlie Newell, of the
East Dedham Street Police Station.
has solved the three weeks mysery
Of the jungle" as the South End
district has come to be known, be-
cause of the numerous experiences
the officers have had with creatures.
such as swarms of bees. boars, rae
coons, opossums and cows.
For nearly a month people have
poured into the station with COM
plants for Captain O'Lalor. whom
they begged to rid the district of
some beast that had disturbed their
slumbers. Policemen have worked
day and night in search for the
prowler, which uttered shrill
screams. Finally the cause of the
disturbance was found in an alley
extending between the rear of the
houses which line Pembroke and
West Newton streets. People living
there noticed that the. cats walked
along the fences, stopped suddenly,
screamed and toppled over as if
dead. After time they would re-
cover and limp away, but never
mount this fence again. 1t was final
ly decided that the screams of these
afflicted cats were the horrible nois-
es which had terrified the neighbor-
hood.
Captain O'Lalor next received
the complaints of those who
sympathized with the suffering kit
ties, declaring the animals were be-
ing mercilessly tortured.
Yesterday Detective Newell, dig
ging about in the alley in the rear of
the houses at 1870 Pembroke and l49
West Newton streets, discovered a
very fine and innocent appearing
copper wire. He traced it and
found one end was attached to an
underground conduit and it extend
ed along the top fence rails on either
side of the alley. 1t was barred to
the "fotsies'".of the kitties which
perambulated along the fence
rails and sang midnight serenades.
When they stepped on the wire their
songs ended with a wild scream and
they fell to the ground as if dead.
Newell tore up the wire.
1t was believed the man who in
vented and rugged this contrivance
must be an electrician, but the po-
lice declare that he is a musician
whose keen ear resented the mid
night screams Of the cats.

bounding with pleasure. Upon the
hearth rug before the cat he depos-
tied furry something; retreated,
returned with something else, and
again went out, to come back with a
similar burden. They were the
dead-and-buried kittens which he
had discovered and resurrected.

NARROW ESCAPE.

Mrs. Jane Todd and daughter,
Miss Julia, formerly of this city,
but now of Louisville, had a narrow
escape from instant death GA We'd
nesday last. They were in their
room, at the residence of Mr.. j..
Crittenden Todd, in the Highlands.
Mrs. Todd was lying down on the
bed, when blast was set off, in an
excavation for foundation of a
house on an adjoining lot, and lot
of stone crashed through the win
dow, smashing it TO atoms, and
stuck the mirror on u dresses, at
which Miss Julia Todd was stand
ing. The glass was thrown on Mrs
Todd, but she was uninjured, while
Miss Julia had her face and hands
bruised and cut, but not seriously.
From the quantity of stone
thrown into the room and so close
to these good ladies, the wonder is
they were not instantly killed.
Their many friends here rejoice
in their good fortune in escaping.

the bill would be passed by the AS
