HINTS FOR FARMERS
Lea on Farm Stock.

Now of all times in the year is the
best to eradicate barn lice. There are
not so many of them as at other pc
RODS of the year, and they are not SO
active as they are at any other season.
The first step when you find your stock
is infested is to remove them to other
quarters which you know are not in
tested with this pest. After this is
done burn all trash and litter and
clean up the stalls and yards in gen
eral. If the cattle are kept in barn
Or shed, tear off all the interior boards
behind which the lice may take refuge.
If this material is of but little value,
it is sometimes advisable to burn OF
in some way destroy it.
Perhaps kerosene emulsion is the best
of all remedies. This is made by tax
ing gallon of warm water and in it
dissolving a pound of hard soap. To
this add a gallon of kerosene and
churn rapidly till the ingredients be-
come perfectly mixed. This emulsion
should be applied to all parts of the
barn or shed, even I'd the floors and the
ceiling. Make the application thor
ough, so that it will enter every crack
and crevice. Do not leave place I'M
touched, for in so doing you may leave
seed for another crop of the lice.

Ashes as a Fertilizer.

There is great deal of waste about
the farmhouse which is often overlook
ed. That is the waste of wood ashes.
During the winter there accumulate
a great deal of ashes, which is allowed
to lie out in the back lot or where it is
of no benefit to the soil. Ashes makes
valuable fertilizer, and not particle
should go to waste. Besides other ele-
ments, they contain great deal OF
potash. 1t is good practice to throw
the ashes upon the manure heap as
fast as they accumulate. In this way
they are mixed with the manure, and
the early stages of the fermentation Of
the manure will render many particles
of ashes available for the needs Of the
plants before the manure is even APP
Piled.

exterior of most of the buildings was
ready when the exposition was opened
today.
A Worlds Fair.
1t was intended that the exposition
should be historical, but it has grown
beyond the dreams of its originators.
II is almost all that is implied in the
expression "a worlds fair" But it
will not stop there. No other exposi-
ton has thus attempted to show the
world the life of the colonists, the
hardships of the pioneers who opened
a new country after civilization had
been attained on the seaboard and the
achievements these people worked from
raw material. Into all this has been
thrown touches of the romantic, in
which students and all history lovers
of the Revolutionary period may revel.
Twenty-Five states of the Union trace
their history from the earliest days to
the present. and the exhibits will be
sheltered by appropriate buildings. For
instance, the Virginia state building is
modelled after an ideal colonial man

Fort Boone, Ohio shows 'Adena," the

Allegheny mountains; Connecticut re-
produces the Talmadge home, the first
colonial mansion erected in that state
where General Washington held many
of his councils of war, and other states;
have displayed equally good judgment
in their selection of designs.
The state buildings have been grouped
along the historic shore of Hamptor
Roads, and they command an excellent
view of the navies of the world. 1t is
this great naval display that proved
the browning glory of the exposition

Improving the Butter.

Use none but new and clean vessels
in which the milk is kept. Old vessels
will sometimes injure the quality of
butter, especially if there are cracks
in which dirt can collect.
Do not attempt to churn the cream
before it is ripe or wait until it has be-
come too sour. There is a time 70
harvest butter, just as there is time
to harvest the farm crops. That time
is when the cream Is ripe.
Wash and scald the vessels after the
milk or ripe cream has been removed
from them. 1t is an excellent plan to
have two sets of vessels so that one
set can be placed out in the sun while
the other is being used. There is moth
ing that equals sunlight in the produc-
ton of good butter.

FormaIin FOR Grain Smut.

A solution of one-half pound of for
malin to thirty gallons of water is
made. The seed grain is spread on a
clean barn floor or on tarpaulin and
thoroughly dampened with the disin-
fectant. 1t is then covered for several
hours and either sown at once or, more
conveniently, dried off by shoveling
over once or twice and sown when cir
cumstances are most favorable.
Care should be taken to prevent poul-
try and other animals from eating any
OF the treated grain.

KITTENS HAVE GREEN HAIR.

1t may all sound like fairy tale or
an echo of the nature faker discussions,
but the fact is that Mrs. Rachel Car
ter of 1884 McHenry street, Southwest
Baltimore, is the proud possessor of
five eight-day-old green kittens, not
yellow, nor brown, nor tortoise she'll
these kittens are really green, of such
a shade as the inside of a half ripe
cantaloupe or the plumage of many
canary birds when, instead of yellow,
their coats take on delicate tint Of
green.
That the cats are purely a freak of
nature seems certain, as the mother of
the litter of five kittens is coal black,
and there is nothing apparently in the
environment to account scientifically
for the variation from type. The kit
tens have black hair on their backs,
extending down the sides, while I'M
derneath the green hair begins to ex-
tend over the whole under surface, ex-
actly as many animals possess white
hair shading from coat of black

WHERE TO EAT.

Charles E., "scotty," Weston, pro-
prietor of the Royal Annex, Merchant
street and Nuuanu avenue, is as well
known to the good livers of Honolulu
as Delmonico was to the swell set in
New York, and for the same reason:
Mr.. Weston provides the best there is
to eat, has it properly cooked and
served and maintains an atmosphere of
good cheer that adds so much to the
enjoyment of q meal. The germ of the
dyspeptic seems unable to get a foot
hold anywhere in the Weston baliwick,
and that, perhaps, accounts for the
cheerful countenances of the patrons
OF that establishment. In addition to
the solids on the bills of fare at the
Royal Annex, Mine Host Weston has
an assortment of liquors that will
make glad the heart of a sphinx. =
