Eiuhtinu Verrin.

1t is a waste Of time to fight vermin
so long as the droppings are allowed to
remain in the houses week after week.
Clean up each morning. 1t takes but a
minute or two each day, and with the
occasional assistance of kerosene lice
seldom cause any trouble.
Remove the nest boxes and fixtures
from the houses and fairly saturate
them with kerosene, then go inside
and with spray pump send the kero-
sene into every crack and crevice. 1t
does noble work, and your hens will
bless you for it.
Another good precaution is to use in
sect powder literally in the nest boxes
1t will kill such vermin as are lodged
in the feathers of the hens.
If the young chicks are dropping, ex-
anime their heads, and the chances are
that large gray louise will be found.
A drop of sweet oil will soon settle the
matter

Salt of the Earth.

In olden days salt was the en-
blem Of purity and interruption.
It was supposed to have sanctify-
ing influence Christ called his dis
ciples the salt of the earth. Salt
was such a serious matter that God
gave the kingdom to David by a
covenant of salt. The Roman SOL
diers were required to take part
of their wages in salt, which was as
good as coin of the realm. Among
the Arabs to eat a mans salt is to
partake of his hospitality, and it
forms a sacred bond between host
and guest. You know many man
who '.is not worth his salt" and
many another who couldn't "earn
enough for his soup" A man 'Etrue
to his salt'' is faithful to his en-
ployer. And he who 'ssits above
the salt" is always in a place of dis
tinction.-New York Press.

Relieving a Choked Cow.

A. writer in Kimball's Dairy Farmer
says: My experience in dairy farming
has been long and varied. l am going
to speak of one thing that comes to my
mind, especially now. One Of my
neighbors tried the experiment Of fat
tening dry cows on potatoes. Unfor-
tunately two of his cattle choked on
them. Becoming alarmed by their con-
dition and having heard of relieving
choked cattle by pushing the obstruc-
ton down the throat, he took a whip
stock and proceeded to help the COW
swallow the potatoes. He pushed with
SO much force and the potatoes were so
hard that the throat OF the COW became
badly bruised. Inflammation set in,
and she died. When another one chok-
ed he tried to break the potato and sue
ceeded in relieving the COW for the
time being, but she died later from
blood poison caused by the unneces-
sary harShnesS. Such measures are
seldom necessary. My practice is to
put a gag in the mouth and let the gas
pass off, and the potato will soften
and can be easily removed without any
injury, and the bloated animal Is re-

FEEDING SKIM MILK.
Experiments Show That It Is ala.
able Ration For Fowls.


A writer in the American Poultry
Advocate has the following to say oe
the value of skim milk as partial
ration for fowls:
The West Virginia experiment sta
ton has recently made some sys-
tematic tests to prove the value of
skim milk for laying hens. The first
test covered 122 days. The twenty
two hens fed skim milk laid 1.244 eggs
as compared with 996 eggs laid by the
twenty two hens fed mash wet with
water. In another test sixty hens fed
the skim milk ration laid S62 eggs in
thirty-seven days as compared with
$50 eggs laid by similar lot fed no
skim milk. Other tests gave about
the same comparative results. The
conductors of these experiments esti-
mate that under the prevailing condi-
tions and with eggs selling for 20 or
% cents per dozen the skim milk used
for moistening the mash had a feed
ing value of from 11a to 2 cents per
quart That milk is one of the best
general foods for almost all stock and
human beings, too, is recognized by
everybody and needs no special proof.
That it should have better results in
nutrition than just plain water is real
ly self evident. When l feed skim
milk to my fowls, do expect to get
some benefit from it. But it is a
satisfaction to know that it is worth,
for feeding purposes, the comparative
1y high figure of ~ or 2 cents quart.
At the Ontario experimental farm
some tests of the value of skim milk,
whey, ETC., as an addition to grains
for fattening poultry have recently
been conducted. From a summary of
data on the relative value of whey,
skim milk and numerous feeds for fat
tenlng chickens it appears that gain
was most cheaply made on a mixture
of equal-parts Of cornmeal. oatmeal
and shorts mixed with whey, the cost
being 4 cents per pound, and was
most expensive C cents per pound on
a mixture of equal parts of cornmeal,
shorts and oatmeal, with 80 per cent of
pork scrap, water being used to wet
up the ration. 1t was found that sour
skim milk (milk that is thickened) is
without doubt the best liquid to mix
with grain rations where a uniform
product is wanted and more so where
white f1eshed chickens are in demand;
also that sweet skim milk has not so
high feeding value for grown chick
ems as sour milk and that whey Is a
better food than is generally consid-
cred. 1t seems to aid digestion.

Cats of Other Days,

The lot of the average twentieth
century cat does not compare favor
ably with that of its ancestors.
Everybody knows that the early
Egyptians held the cat sacred, and
any one injuring sacred animal
was liable to severe punishment.
Among the ancient laws of Wales
was a statute which prohibited the
slaughter of a cat under curious
penalty. The owner of the slaugh-
tered animal held it by the tip of the
tail with its nose touching the floor,
and the slayer had to give him, by
way of compensation, as much
wheat as would bury the entire ami
NAL out of sight. The grain was
supposed to represent the amount
that the owner would lose through
the depredations of vermin by being
deprived of the cat. Saxony, Swift
zerland and other European coun-
tries also had laws enacted for the
protection of cats, which were re-
garded Of economic value.

LIQUID Lice Killers.

As general rule, the commercial
liquid lice killers are more dependable
and satisfactory than homemade kero-
sene mixtures. However, the follow
ing combinations will be found reliable
If carefully used: A saturate solution
of crude naphthalene fakes in kero-
sene, made by dissolving in kerosene
all it will take up Of crude naphtha-
lene fakes, makes an effective lice
paint and is a good remedy for scaly
leg. Two fluid ounces Of any coal tar
disinfecting liquid mixed with a gal
lon of kerosene is an effective lice
paint for destroying red mites and
coop lice Either of these preparations
used as liquid lice paint about the
roosts and dropping boards should be
applied in the forenoon or before the
middle Of the day, so that they will
thoroughly dry into the woodwork be-
fore the fowls go to roost.

Liver Trouble In Fowls.

When a few hens in flock show
symptoms of advanced stages of liver
trouble, it is reasonable to conclude
that others in the flock are in the
earlier stages. Give the flock a grass
run if possible. If not, give green
food literally, avoid the excessive use
Of corn, and try to secure consider
able amount of exercise for the fowls.
This is best accomplished for fowls in
confinement by feeding the grain in
litter and feeding rather sparingly at
first. This reduction of diet should not
be continued too long If it is, the
birds become weakened and reduced in
flesh
