POULTRY AS SIDE ISSUE.
Not Apt to Be a Success Because Too

The man that goes into the breed

out that 100 or more hens should

mistake has come in figuring that the

all the work that must be done In
connection with poultry. says the
Farmers Review. In a few months
he Is very tired OF his side issue:
for the reason that he is trying to &C

THE ARDENT AND DESPERATE
CoURTsHIP OF AN ITALIAN.
FAIR MAID FINALLY YIELDS
Cuts Her with Razor, Blows Up Her
Home with Dynamite and Shoots
Of Her Fingers Before His
Suit Is Successful.

London.-Salvatore Vinciano, a gal
liant Roman. wooed and won Paolina
di Ponta, beautiful Roman girl. after
the most ardent. strenuous. and des-
perate courtship on record.
For love of her he attacked her with
razor slashing her cheek; he blew
up her home with dynamite, he stab
bed her with a stiletto. and then shot
OF two OF her fingers. Incidentally he
spent three years and three months in
prison as a result OF his loving atten-
tons.
Such sacrifice, constancy, and devo-
ton at last conquered the heart of the
beautiful Italian girl. and recently she
married him in the church OF San Giu-
seppe, in Rome. after tearfully plead
ing with the magistrate not to send
him &c Jail again. but TO forgive him
for shooting on two Of her fingers, that
she might give all of herself that he

they considered his family beneath
them. although he claimed the blood OF
the Roman conquerors.
For months he wooed her with man
dolin and song, sitting under her case
ment and singing soft love songs. but
she scorned his love and would have
none OF him.
Despairing in his suit, Salvatore met
her in the street, and, passionately
avowing his love. pleaded with her TO
marry him. and as she turned away he
drew a razor and slashed her across
the cheek, trying in vain to spoil the
beauty that was not for him. The

PROTECT FOWLS FROM LICE
Some Suggestions as to How 1t May
Be Done Even When Flocks
Are Large.

Fowls are hard 10 protect from lice
largely on account Of the number OF
fowls that must be kept by any one
man who expects to make much money
out OF them. IL a 1.O0O-pound steer
or horse has lice. the treatment of that
animal for the parasites is not e great
task; but it is far different II 1000
pounds of chickens have TO be treated.
Ihat might mean as many as 200
fowls to be washed. dipped or other
wise handled and cared for.
There are several ways OF killing
lice, but the most thorough way is to
wash the fowl with soap and water.
A poultry exhibitor said to the writer:
III the man that has lousy hens will
wash them as the Snowman does his
birds he Will have no trouble with lice.
provided he does not again permit
them to come in contact with other
birds that are lousy" His method of
washing was 10 make a strong lather
of soap and water and scrub the birds
thoroughly. The lather was worked
into the feathers and under all of them
and was again and again washed of.
This kind OF treatment gets rid OF the
lice and leaves the birds absolutely
clean.
The next best thing. in the opinion
OF the Farmers Review. is perhaps
grease put under the wings. under the
tail feathers, and on top of the head,
Sooner or later the lice on the bird
will take refuge In the places men
toned and will become covered with
grease. which viii in turn cause the
stoppage Of the breathing pores Of the
insects and hence strangulation. This
is the current opinion. but whether ali
the lice do thus commit suicide Is q
question that is hard to settle. Ger
tain 1t is that the application OF
grease does greatly reduce the mum
Der OF lice infesting the fowls.

FEED NOTES.
Utilizing the Scraps and Refuse from

Like many other farmers we can
not give our hens the fun list OF feeds

the feeds we have on hand. produced
on the farm. Wheat oats and corn
are grown on the place and the hens
get their share OF each. No food we

for the hens when the grocer gladly

Every year we plant pumpkins with

stock. The seeds are the most valuable
part Of the pumpkin, IL is claimed, and
the hens like the seeds best, but will

hens. Potato and apple Feelings are

outcbering offal, cracklings, etc, is all

are worth more as hen food than they
are for soap grease. We have lately
learned that hens like buttermilk bet

drink skim-milk if they can get but

the latter in a large Jar for the hens
