Il check for $1,000 from his father in
Germany, and the stork has paid
twelve visits. Although he has not

Cramer came to Iowa from Germany
without a cent. He had rich relatives
back in the old country, but he pre-

came to the Cramer home the old
father in Germany was SO well pleased
that he forwarded his check for 1000

it with each visit of the stork.
BY thrift and economy Cramer has

Miss Flora McQuinsy. of Medicine

Is person OF very strange notions;
she is crazy for medicines. / do de-

She has powders and tablets and To-
tionS.
What is in all these things must re-
main a great mystery.
just write of Miss Flora Behold her
history.
Miss Flora's spinster. exceedingly
wealthy:
She would rather be poor, though
she says. and be healthy.
Her aches come alone. and her aches
come together,
At all hours Of the day, and in all
sorts of weather:
shes all manner of things that the
doctor can put
On the crown of her head or the sole
of her foot:
Or rub on her shoulders, or tie round
her waist:
Or that's known to the feel. or the
smell. or the taste
Or that's Smeared on without, or di-
gested within.
She's afraid she'll get fat. she's afraid
she'll get thin.
Shes afraid she'll get sick, she's afraid
she'll stay WELL
She's afraid she'll keep silent, she's
frightened to tell,
She's frightened of fruit. and she's
frightened of meat,
Shes frightened to diet, she's fright
ened to eat.
She's afraid to stay in, she's afraid to
go out.
She's afraid to believe, she afraid she
she will doubt.
She's afraid SMELL get warm, she's
afraid she'll get cold.
She's afraid she'll die young she's
afraid she'll grow old.
Shes frightened to live. and she's
frightened to die,
She's frightened and scared cause
she doesn't know why,
In short. for all ails that could ever
be thought Of
Or doctor or dentist, or druggist be
bought of,
From spray for the throat. to a
cure for the chills,
From lotion for bruises. to food for
the blood,
From gargle for gumboils to bath
ing in mud.
She's tried all these things-and
she's footed the bills.
Miss McQuinsy is known unto every
physician,
AS woman who's got diseased dis
position,
With her fears about measles, lumba-
go. and sprains,
And her horror of fevers. and all
sorts of pains
For of every disease Miss Quinsy COM
plains,--
And there was never anything awful
around
But in Miss McQuinsy the SYMPTOMS
were found,
When you've got it badly, why she's
got 1t worse;
She's always in charge of doctor and
nurse.
'Tis thus that she uses her very long
purse
She wastes time and money on nurses
and drugs;
Her only companions are frauds and
humbugs.
They humor her WITNESSES. but still
keep her i'll.
With horrid concoctions her insides
they fill.
Alas Miss McQuinsy, you're in
bad wav:
The doctors have "cured" you, but
you are sick
And sick my poor lady it seems
you will stay
AS long as you gloat over troubles
rheumatic,
AS long as you dote upon ailments
asthmatic.
And now be it told though she
screams and she faints.
And though her whole life is a list of
complaints
That while on each ailment she's anx-
ious to seize.
And while there no i'll can her long
ing appease,
She will still have complaints. But
she has no disease!

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 droppings 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 harbor.
All nests and roosts 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 if small quantity of
crude carbolic acid is added. In addi-
ton to 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.

A FORM OF COVERED MILK PAIL.

which is loose, fits inside Of the first
one. When the pail is to be used few
layers Of clean cheesecloth are placed
across the opening of the lower funnel
and the loose funnel is pushed In to
hold the cheesecloth in position. The
whole apparatus is simple in structure
and can be easily cleaned.
The amount of dirt in the milk from
the covered pail was only 81 per cent
Of that in the open pail, while the
amount of dirt in the strained milk
was 53.4 per cent of that in the milk
not strained. In other words, the cover
excluded G3 per cent, while the strain
er removed less than AZ per cent.
BY the use of the covered pail an av-
erage of 20 per cent of the total num-
Der of bacteria and IL per cent of the
acid producing bacteria were excluded
from the fresh milk. BY straining the
milk as soon as drawn into the ordi-
nary open pail an average of but II
per cent Of the total number of bacte-
ria and II per cent of the acid produc-
ing species were removed.

Make the Hen Work.

The thing to be desired is to make
the hens hunt and dig continually for
food so they may have plenty Of exer-
else. 1t is exercise they need and must
have or they will not lay, says the
Feather. There must be dry floor to
your henhouse, and this floor, whether
ground or board, must be covered with
six or eight inches of loose dry earth
or sand. Cover this with dry straw a
foot deep and throw all of the grain that
the fowls get during the winter months
into this and make them dig and -nunt
for it. No matter if they do make a
dust; all the better, for this fine dust
flying about will be a protection
against all insect life that may be in
the house, and when you see the dust
flying you can feel assured that the
floor is dry and the hens are busy.
Small grain, such as broken corn,
wheat, oats, barley, millet seed and
buckwheat, is the best for them, as it
keeps them working longer to get
enough

Treatment For the Various Ills That
Affect Poultry.


For roup take tablespoonful Of

of ginger cayenne pepper and mustard.
Mix we'll together and add -four till the
whole has the consistency of dough.
Roll into slugs about the size of the
top joint of the little finger and put

If the case needs 1t.
For swelled head battle with To-
ton made Of one part spirits Of turpen-
tine to six parts glycerin. If this does
not cure in three days, better kill and
bury the bird. Separate the sick from
the well birds.
The chief causes of liver disease are
indigestion, impure air, dark and damp
quarters, want of agreeable exercise,
-unwholesome food, such as musty
grain, putrid meat, decomposed vege-
table matter, rich and highly concen-
trated food, overcrowding, picking Up
food in dirty houses or runs to which
excrement is attached. Too heavy corn
feeding is also prime cause.
An ordinary family liver pill is excel
hnt when the trouble is caused by in
digestion. When the liver is disorder
ed from other causes, give small doses
Of calomel every day for a week, fol-
lowed by a course of nux vomica in
small doses. The food should be light
and nutritious.
There are several causes for leg
weakness In chicks-viz, too great heat
in the brooder, too heavy feeding OF
meat and too much fat forming food.
An excess Of meat, cornmeal and
starchy foods, like potatoes, give too
much weight for the muscular strength
Of the legs. Keep shallow pan of
water in the brooder This will make
the air more moist. Feed charcoal and
place a piece Of rusty iron in the drink
ing water.-Farm Journal.
