Poultry Points.

Use sassafras poles for perches or daub such poles as you may have with a liberal supply of oil of sassafras to keep the coop free from roost lice.
 Throw some river sand or gravel ill a sunny corner of the chicken yard. The poultry will enjoy a good summing and dust bath.
 For constipation in your flock give a sprinkle of red pepper in the food. When the bowels are loose use black pepper Keep plenty of clean water where the poultry can get it at all hours of the day.
 Send your poultry to roost with q full crop.
 Give the poultry pan of buttermilk or thick skim milk occasionally.
 Don't let the poultry roost in draft or they will get cold in the head and consequently will not do as well for laying or market as they will if well cared for

Y. MeerSch in Western Poultry Journal II you want to fatten your ducks or ducklings speedily and inex- pensively, mix their meal with stale beer, also give them some brewers grain if possible and avoid giving so much fat or grease. You will be aston ished at the result The fattening is accomplished in q much quicker space of time, one great feature being the absence of an overabundaHt fat-i e. superfuous yellow fat, which ls the di- rect consequence of fattening with greasy substances. The malt in the beer produces flesh pure and simple, also weight. the two great aims of the fattenpr Flesh weighs heavier than fat, and ducks fattened an beer weigh half Us much again as those fdttened on other ingredients. There heed be no apprehension regarding the flavor Not even the stancheSt or most rigid abstainef could detect evidence of beer unnatural By stale beer of course do not mean moldy or sour beer. but any left in jugs or glasses from the dinner or supper table. the dregs of bottled beer. etc. Neither need there be any cause of alarm N1ent the color l have had whiter flesh fattened this way than ally other l earnestly rec ommend tine method. knowing il will give entire satisfaction upon experi- ment.
 Clover is an admira ble food for fowls. and this is easily understood when it is considered that 100 pounds of dried clover leaves contain eleven pounds of protein and sufficient lime to form the shells of POO eggs. A fowl breeder on q large scale told us lately that since he began to give his fowls green clover in summer and dried clover leaves in winter they have passed much better
 
 has had many more eggs: that his young birds get their feathers much quicker and form big strong ones In summer he cuts the green clover up in- to bits of about an inch and gives handful to every five fowls. To get a supply for winter use he informs the writer that he cuts the clover when it begins to flower. dries il well in the sun, packs it fn bag. and stores it in dry barn. Then he takes quantities as required, dries in the oven and rubs the leaves in his hands into fine pieces. The powdered leaves are then sealded or boiled and about handful for every five fowls mixed with the ordinary daily food The results of this system are so favorable that he says that he will bet a hundred to one that no one who has tried it will ever again aban- don it

Contagion and Infection.

The terms contagion and infectio
are too often used promiscuously
though they are by no means synony
nous. The dissemination of mycotic
diseases takes place in different ways.
There are those which cannot be COM
municated from person to person, but
spread only by the microbic causes in
vading the individual. To this class be-
long malarial fevers produced by spas
modia. There are, secondly, those
which are not communicable from per-
son to person, but through external car
riers only, such rs SOIL water, food.
air. clothing and utensils. To that class
belong yellow fever and Asiatic chol-
era. They are infectious. There are.
finally, those which may be transmitted
directly from person or indirectly
through carriers. To this class belong
scarlet fever, measles. diphtheria, vari-
ola, influenza, erysipelas and yaricella,
perhaps also whooping cough. They
are contagious and infectious.

CIGAR MAKERS GET RAISE.
Big Company Celebrates Hieh-Water
Mark by Substantial Token.

Cigarmakers throughout the whole
country are jubilant over the raise in
wages which has been given them by
the American Cigar Company. This
raise, which varies from per cent, to
% per cent, according to location, took
place the third week of this month 1t
was entirely unsolicited on the part of
the employees and on this account was
the more unexpected
During the past year the success of
the company has been very hattering.
Realizing that this success was due di-
rectly to their employees they decided,
some time ago, to present them sub,
stantial token of their appreciation.
Nothing was said of the matter and no
. one had an inkling of it until the mana
gers of the hundreds of factories were
notified of the plan. The employees
were vastly surprised and pleased when
they opened their envelopes to find they
had been earning an extra salary for tb 9
week. This is the second time Il o
company has given its people general
raise. All classes of its employees,
both skilled and unskilled, have profited
thereby. When the company took over
number of the Southern factories the
cigarmakers were getting only $3.50 a
day. The company at once raised the
| schedule to 3d. so in all of the largest
factories.
Apropos of cigars, it is an interesting
| fact that the cheroot. smoking districts
are suffering severe encroachment at
the hands of the five.cent cigar for
which larger orders are coming in, in
these sections 1t is inferred from this
that the taste of the cheroot smoker is
improving. Indeed, the demand for
cigars in general seems to be increas
ing, for last month the American people
reached their high water mark when
they turned out one hundred and forty
millions of them. They are confident
that the increase they have given their
employees will stimulate the latter to
greater efforts and enable them to fol-
low up the record with one still higher
