regard to a somewhat similar case rem

cision the authorities have been inclined to
regard as too drastic. 1t is a satisfaction
for the military authorities to observe that

The army medical officers have this year
continued their Investigations which have
been under way for three years at all army
posts with a view Of determining the de-
struction of disease carrying mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes have not been reported at two
army posts. Fort walls walla, Wash, and
Fort Mason. Cal. Reports nave not been
received from some eight or nine posts,
but at all of the others the mosquitoes
have been reported as present in more or

SOUAx, NATURES DISINFEC1ANI,
CLEANSER and PURIFIER

Everybody realizes the necessity OF
some method of publication OF SINKS,
drains and utensils in which may TURK
the germ of dreaded disease.
Health is a question of cleanliness
and prevention.
Most people are familiar with the use
of disinfectants in their ordinary sense
all of which are unpleasantly asso-
ciated with disagreeable odors, on
which are depended to kill the conta-
gion (Which disinfectants must Of ne
cessity be of more or less dangerous
character) and must be used for this
purpose and for no other, and in conse-
quence kept from children and careless
handling.
There is. however, within the reach
of all our readers simple, safe ana
economical article that will not only an
swer for every disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for multitude or
domestic cleansing and purifying pur-
poses-Borax.
Borax is a pure, white harmless pow
der coming direct from Natures labor
atory; in fact Borax has often been
called Natures Cleanser and Dislnfec-
tant."
Two tablespoonfuls of Borax in a
pailful of hot water poured down the
grease-choked pipes of sink, or flushed
through a disease-laden drain, cleanses
and purifes it, leaving it clean ano

Color of Eggs an Asset.

One of the most potent factors, per-
haps. that should be considered when
selecting a breed for producing eggs
for market is the demand of the mar
ket at which the eggs are to be dis
posed of, says The Outing Magazine.
Some markets, notably New York City
and cities Immediately adjacent, pre-
fer white-shelled eggs, and the best
trade in these markets will accept none
other. Boston prefers brown eggs, and
paws a substantial premium for them !;
and. taking the country over, the pref
erence is for brown eggs by large
majority. However, in many markets
no preference at all is expressed; in
fact. those just mentioned are practic-
ally the only markets in which the
color of the egg receives attention to
the extent of influencing prices Where
there is a preference, and whichever
the preference is, one should keep va
riety of fowls that lay eggs of the pre-
ferred color.

1t Acts Slowly but Frequently Pro-

The curious effect Of slow daily pol

disease as a result, is shown in num-
hers of cases where the eyes are at

A lady in Oswego, Mont, expert
enced a slow but sure disease settling
upon her eyes in the form of increas-
ing weakness and shooting pains with
wayy. dancing lines of light, so vivid
that nothing else could be seen for
minutes at a time.
She says:
.sThis gradual failure of sight alarm
ed me and l naturally began a very
earnest quest for the cause. About
this time I was told that coffee poison
ing sometimes took that form, and
while I didn't believe that coffee was
the cause of my trouble, concluded
to quit it and see.

Poultry Notes.

Clean the droppings from under the
roosts frequently.
Grit is the hens teeth. Provide her
with plenty of it, so that she may di-
gest her food.
If you expect the hen to lay freely
Won must feed her the kind Of stuff,
that will make eggs.
Buckwheat is excellent for both
young and old poultry.
A laying hen should have constant
access to lime or gravel.
Feed only what the hens will eat up
clean. Any kind of feed left from one
day to another is apt to start disease.
Watching the incubator carefully is
the way to get the best hatch. A little
carelessness is sure to produce disas-
trous results.
Charcoal or burned corn occasionally
is a good conditioner for the fowls It
prevents Indigestion and other diseases
to which they are heir.

Labor of the Horse.

Some one has figured out that it costs
on the average only one-half as much
TO feed O horse as it does to feed
man; and that the horse will do ten
times the amount of work tnat IL Is
possible for the man to do. Ii thls
estimate is correct, then dollars
worth of food given the horse will pro-
duce twenty times as much Fesults as
the same amount of money will II eX-
pended in feed for man. Therefore,
when man domesticated the horse ne
immensely increased his own power or
securing results. When much farm work
is to be done there should always be
enough horses to do it. Farmers try
TO economic OH the number Of horses
and have to leave much work undone.
In the event of hired help being scarce,
it is sometimes possible to offset this
lack by increasing the number of horses
kept In some parts Of the West and
Northwest, declares the Farmers Re-
view, the scarcity of help has resulted
in more horses being used. Five are
hitched to a double pillow, and one driv-
er is thus enabled to turn two burrows
at a time and practically double the
work that one man has to do. This is
