SHE TENDED THE LIGHTHOUSE
In Husbands Absence She Took His
Place for Two Days.

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 14.-For
two nights. while the storm ragged on
the sound, Mrs. Samuel A. Armour.
alone in the Sperry lighthouse. two
miles from the shore. kept the lights
burning bright, kept the foghorn
sounding and did her duty like the
heroine that she is. Yet during every
instant Of the two nights. while she
was warning sailors Of the shoals and
rocks, Mrs. Armous was distracted by
the dread that her husband. the light
house keeper. had persisted. Today
she learned that he was drowned
Thursday night while trying to reach
her through the gale. Then and only
then, she collapsed for she loved him
dearly. Childless they lived together
in the lonely lighthouse for years.

To Ria Animals Of Lice.


A bulletin recently issued by the Ok
iahoma experiment station gives the
following formula for making kerosene
emulsion to rid farm animals of lice.
Hard soap. one-half pound; kerosene
(cheap grade) tive gallons; water, one
gallon. Cut the soap In shavings and
boil In water until the soap Is dis
solved. Remove the soap solution from
the fire and add kerosene, and churn
or spray back until a thorough emul-
sion is made. To set emulsion add
seven gallons Of water. and use this
for spraying or dipping. This emul-
sion may be applied to any Of the farm
animals by means Of a sponge, brush
or spray pump. without any injury
whatever, and when thoroughly ap.
piled 1t will rid the stock of lice. This
emulsion may also be used to free poul-
try from lice. Place the emulsion In q
vessel Of convenient size and dip tine
fowls. being sure to get all portions
of the body wet, and hold them in the
dip one minute. After treating the
fowls the emulsion may be used to
spray the roOsts and coops, and in this
way rid them Of mites and lice.

Onion GROWING.

Montana is placed at 100 to 12O days.
while the time required for onions to

days, and II onions are not thoroughly

The experiments are recorded In detail
for each year, and yields given by both

Generally speaking, the yields from

The Department Of Agriculture.
through DR.. II. W. Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry, has undertaken
to educate the farmers regarding the
manufacture Of denatured alcohol. Two
bulletins on the subject have been is
sued.
From DR.. Wiley's discussion of the
subject the conclusion Is reached that
the manufacture of alcohol on very
small scale Is not likely to prove prof
liable, and because of revenue regula-
tons 1t Is evident that the farmer must
be content with producing the raw ma
terials. The bulletin on the subject Of
sources and manufacture says:
''The principal uses Of industrial al
cohol are illumination, heating, motive
power and the manufacture of lacquers,
varnishes, smokeless powder, medicinal
and pharmaceutical preparations, vine
gar and ether. When industrial alco-
h0l is made at a price at which 1t can
compete with petroleum and gasoline,
1t doubtless will be preferred for the
purposes above mentioned. because of
its greater safety and more pleasant
odor Under the present conditions 1t
is not probable that industrial alcohol
can be offered upon the market at much
less than 40 cents u gallon Of IS per
cent strength"
DR.. Wiley expresses the belief, how
ever. that by paying attention to I'M
used sources of raw material and with
improved methods of manufacturing
and denaturing this price can be d.
ninished.

The Onion 1IaggOt.

The onion maggot and cabbage mag
got can only be distinguished by an
expert, as they are very nearly alike.
The maggot is the larva of a small fly.
There is no known sure" remedy that
can be applied. Sprinkling powdered
sulphur around the plants is a partial
remedy, but it does not always bring
relief. Making small hole near each
onion and pouring into each hole half a
teaspoonful of bisulphide of carbon
covering the holes with earth, Is claim
ed to be remedy, but such method 10
expensive and laborious. Liquid ma
nure applied to the plants Is claimed
to be remedy. The best preventive
Is to grow the onions on land that has
not before produced a crop, but Of
course such can not be done until next
season. This change OF location of the
onion patch Is the only partial solution
of the maggot problem.
