AS to mites, do not believe that
have any in my houses, says a New
Jersey poultryman. ! use preventas
tive remedies, spraying the houses and
painting underside Of roosts and roost
rests with crude Carboic solution, also
fumigating with sulphur and white
washing, using the sulphur once d
month and whitewashing about four
times a year. The above have found
sufficient for my purpose. ! believe
the mites are very difficult to get rid
of once they get foothold in a house,
and a house infested with them will
need very thorough cleaning and
spraying, being very particular to get
the spray into all cracks and creyices
AS to chicken lice, | keep the houses
supplied with dust baths, using clean
dust mixed with fine ashes and sui
phur. When had a small number OF
fowls, IL was an easy matter TO in
spect each individual, and dust them
with insect powder, but this involves
entirely too much labor where a large
number of fowls are kept; so now
rely on dust baths mixed as above,
am not aware that have ever lost
any poultry from lice or mites and
believe II the above plan Is faithfully
followed the trouble will be reduced
to a minimum.-Farmer' Review.

SPURIOUS COINS IN GRAVE
Unaccountable Presence of Counter

..I. Sepulchre.

st. Louis.-Counterfeit coins bearing
the date of 1899 and 1897 found in the
grave of man who died Is years ago
furnish a puzzle for the secret service
agents at st. Louis. The coins were
unearthed near Arden, Douglas coun-
ty, Mo-, recently, when the body of
John keenan, was disinterred by rela-
tives for removal to California.
Lee T. Philpot, secret service agent,
returned from that locality with S64
of the spurious coins, which he recov-
cred from b. II. Quick, a farmer, to
whom they were turned over. Phil
pot was unable to get any clue as TO
where the money came from, and
there were no traces of any bad money
having been In circulation there re-
Gently. The plant" is supposed to be
an old one, made by some counterfeit
er, who picked out grave as the place
least likely to be discovered In case
of a search.
The coins are badly rusted, but some
of them are good limitations. The col
lection includes Is dollars, S5 half dol.
lars and 16 quarters. Keenan, and his
son, Rudolph Keenan,, lived In an iso.
lated spot in the Douglas county hills
Both died about the same time.
Philpot searched an old cabin where
they lived for counterfeiting tools, bu
found none.
