Nothing is to be gained by doping

fowl owners who make a practice of
doping their fowls with red pepper
and other hot condiments. Now if
their fowls were sick it might pos

ever, sure that even the sick fowl
benefits from this kind of attention.
1t is certain that l have never seen
any benefit from feeding my fowls
such stuff.
The fowl needs good food and a
good opportunity to exercise. She
needs also to be kept protected from
inclement weather. Beyond that there
is nothing that is wanted that can
insure her thrift. The very fact that
she is healthy is argument against
feeding such stuff. The custom is the
relic of our grandmother's day when
the children were being continually
doped with such stuff. In the treat
ment of children the old ways have
died out, but the habits have remain
ed as to farm poultry
I believe that fowls are often in
jured by the amounts of such condi
ments they receive, says a writer in
Farmers Review. Cayenne pepper
is very hot drug, and the fowls car
easily take enough into their crops
to render them very uncomfortable
In that case they load up on more
water than they can easily take care
of or need. Let the dope materials

POULTRY DISEASES.
u Does Not Pay to Doctor sleb
Fowls.

Time spent on disease infected
focks of poultry, as a general thing,
is time wasted. This, Of course. does
not apply to local sporadic complaints
that are easily checked and cured,
but to diseases that are deeply rooted
and infectious.
1t is frequently the case that con-
sumption in some form exists among
poultry. 1t is almost hopeless to at
tempt to stamp out the disease, and
the sooner such focks are gotten rid
of and healthy ones installed in their
places the better.
Many breeders and farmers wives
whose fowls are affected, give three
or four doses of kerosene, or some
other home remedy, and then report
that the medicine did not effect q
cure. The fact is, it may be neces-
sary to give medicine every couple
OF hours, and even oftener, in bad
cases. This work, of course, is not
agreeable to the owner, particularly
IT the birds are of little value.
When roup appears and does not
give way to prompt and heroic treat
ment, and frequent dosing, the
chances are that such fowls will al
ways give trouble. In such cases it
is a comparatively easy matter to be-
gin anew with poultry.
The cheaper and safer way is to
take all the affected birds to some
locality, kill them, for sometimes
the disease is deeply rooted in the
blood of the fowls and will remain,
says the Northwestern Agriculturist.
The safest and best method, there.
fore, is to clear off all the old stock
and thoroughly disinfect the prem
ises, even to spading the yards.
After this is done, get new stock
from flock that is known to be
healthy, vigorous and free from dis
ease, and see that none but healthy
fowls are admitted to the breeding
yard thereafter.

That was all, but the word seemed

from Bob's face, and as though the
words had sprung the hidden catch to

Paint Coops with Crude Oil.

If we ever have occasion to build
another hen house, the thing we shall
do after completing it, and before any
hens are allowed in it, will be to
paint the whole inside with crude oil.
The roosts and around the roosts
should be given a double coat. A
barrel of the oil should cost not over
$3.50, barrel included, and what is
left can either be sold or used for ma

to paint the inside of the house, we
feel sure it would be money we'll in

freedom from mites for some time
to come.

CANDLES FOR DINNER TABLE.
TaIlow Dips Will Answer the Purpose
if Properly Prepared.

Candles add so much 10 the appear
ance of the dinner table that house
keepers should use them even more
generally than is now the custom
Often the expense proves a draw
back, as these charming lights have
way Of burning out very quickly.
When wax or prepared candles are
used the cost is undoubtedly an item
TO be considered. The economical Wo-
man, however, will not choose these
expensive varieties. but will buy in
stead, the ordinary tallow dips. These
if kept in a cold place between meals
viii burn for three nights.
If these tallow dips are used in the
porcelain candleholders they not only
may be used longer, bat none will
know whether they are of the finest or
poorest quality.
The first expense of the patent can
dies, while quite inconsiderable in il
self is, very soon, more than equalized
by the saving of being able to use the
candle inside up to the tiniest tip.
Candles of any kind should be kept
on the ice for at least "a hours before
being used. 1t will not only make them
burn longer, but more brilliantly.

Soap left over from the toilet, the

considered SO much waste. 1t Is
thrown out, though probably most
housewives have misgiyiugs as to the

scrap of an expensive OF good soap
But every small piece of soap should
be saved. No matter to what tiny di-

help to clean the bathub and the sta
tionary washstand This may be aC-
cOmplished by means of a substantial
cotton or wOOlen bag. which should be
about a foot square and made with a
drawing string. Into it is dropped
from time to time the bits of soap
collected from the bedrooms the bath
room, the laundry and the kitchen.
The bag is closely drawn at the mouth
and the string wound about the TOP
and then tightly tied When this bag
is dipped into water The contents give
forth plenty of suds and the whole
may be used as a cleaning cloth to
