black gowns on the streets, none of
whom wore hats, and all of whom
seemed to be on pleasure bent.
The streets of the old town seem
ed full of them. We chatted with
some and found out some of the
things worth knowing about the
college life. Went into one of the
college quadrangles and peeped
into some of the boys living rooms
just to see how they looked and
thus enjoyed ourselves until bed
time. In the morning we got a
guide and visited three of the most
important colleges. The First
Christ Church college built in the
year 1900, nearly 600 years ago, and
where countless thousands have
beenleducated, among whom may be
mentioned the present King, Glad
stone, Sir Robert Peel, Ruskin and
many others. The walls of the
enormous dining room are com
pletely filled with life-size oil paint
ings of the noted men from this col
1ege, and the coats-of- arms of the
great families whose members have
at some time attended.
From here we went to the New
College built in 1896 (not very new
now and here we saw portion of
the old stone wall which was built
between 900 and l, 900 years ago by
the Normons and surrounded the
town of Oxford. Only small por-
ton of the wall now remains. From
here to Magdalen College, another
one built in the fifteenth century.
This wound up the time we could
spare for Oxford.
Leaving Oxford we had a most
beautiful run down the banks OF
the magnificent Thames river to
Henley-on-the-Thames. This is
where the annual rowing regetta is
held between the crews of Oxford
and Cambridge universities. We
stopped for lunch at the Red Lion
Inn, another hotel with 800 years
history right on the banks of the
Thames. Leaving Henley about z
o'clock we drove through beauti'
full country, passing country places
with lots cf deer grazing in full
sight. At one place, within LOG
yards of our road we saw herd OF
at least 100 all lying on the grass
together, and at least as many
more grazing about the hills, quite
fearless of human beings.
After an hours ride, which was
fast, we arrived at Windsor Castle
the home of the kings and queens
of England for generations past
This was our mecca and worthy
one it proved to be. We were just
in time to be shown through the
state departments of the castle
where we saw more magnificent
paintings, sculptures, furniture,
furnishings, carpets, tapestries,
rugs, armor, arms, jewels and such
like than | ever imagined existed in
the world. All the descriptions l
have ever read fall far short in
conveying to me the magnificence
here shown to the public, and
could not even give you an idea OF
it, my language is far too small.
The paintings are the best the
world produces and many times we
wished all Americans could have
the opportunity of seeing them, for
our galleries look puny alongside
of these. The rooms through
which we were shown are those
which the king uses to entertain
royalty, including some of the
bedrooms, the large banquet hall
and dining hall, audience room,
throne chamber, etc., etc.
We wound up in the chapel where
countless members of royalty have
worshipped for generations. Here
were shown the crowns worn on

his time in vain.
LONDON, w. c., Oct. Is, 1908.-
MY DEAR PARENTS:
Instead of going out this evening
Kate and l determined to write to
our loved ones, and as you are
counted with that number and very
close to the top of the list l am 60
ing to tell you of our lovely two
days motor trip from Birmingham
to London. This trip has been my
little extravaganza while abroad
and while it proved pretty costly we
do not regret a penny of it, as we
have seen England as we could
never have seen it on board a rail
road train. We have been riding
| through the heart of it's beauties
and seeing those historical sights
which are so familiar to all Ameri-
cans in their school-day lessons.
We left Birmingham on Tuesday
morning about $3.50 in deep Eng
lish fog for our 16O-mile ride in a
very comfortable touring car, with
plenty of wraps and we'll protected
against the dampness. We drove
to Kenilworth first where we wan
dered through the splendid ruins of
Kenilworth Castle which was built
about 600 years ago, and devastated
by the Saxon wars. From there we
went through the old Kenilworth
church which was filled with ances-
trail lore.
Leaving here we drove to Grey's
Cliffs, the country seat of Lord Al
gernon Percy, beautiful castle in
which the lord now resides. We
looked over an old mill driven by a
wooden undershot wheel over 800
years old, still at work.
Then to bennington, a beautiful
old town, much patronized by in
valids seeking water cures. Driv-
ing thence to Warwick, just across
the Lean river, we visited the War
wick Castle, one of the most beau-
tiful feudal castles of all England,
the seat of the present Earl of War
wick. This castle is in splendid
state Of repair, the earl making it
his home. It was built in the year
1900, is surrounded with a moat and
enormous stone wall with towers
over 100 feet high and has all the
ear marks we used to read about as
common to castles in our Don
| Quixote days. We were allowed to
pass through the magnificent state
departments, only used when the
family is entertaining guests, and
into the baronia1 hall, used as a
sitting room, also in the dining
room. The paintings by the
worlds masters were far superior
to any we had ever before seen and
on much larger scale.
From Warwick we drove to STRAIT
ford-on-Avon, that mecca of all
the English. speaking world. Here
we ate luncheon at the quaint old
Red Horse Inn, which has served
man and beast for 400 years. After
lunch we visited the old house in
which Shakespeare first saw the
light of day; then the house in
which he spent his last days, then
the school where he used to get
thrashed, and finally the church in
which his ashes repose. All most
interesting and inspiring. We aft
erwards went to Ann Hathaway S
cottage in the suburbs of Stratford-
on-Avon. Stratford is a most
quaint old town, the houses having
the appearance of great antiquity
All are clean-looking, as are in fact,
all the houses and towns we have

Association
{" HERE are two general classes
of parasites that affect ami
mals-cXterna and internal.
Chief among external para.
sites are lice. These live in the hair

causing the animal great annoyance.
Not only that. but animals badly af.
fected with lice run down greatly in

ey losers for their owners. There are
many kinds of lice affecting horses.
cattle and swine. with a few species
that conline their attention to sheep
and goats. These lice are of two
understanding and biting. The treat
ment is much he same for both kinds,
so that it will not be necessary to
treat them separately.
Lice are sometimes difficult to find.
even when they are present in con
siderable numbers. This is especially
true of long haired animals. The
neck. shoulders ami rUor of tail are
the places most frequently affected.
Remedies For Lice.
One % the best remedies for lice OH
hogs Hnd cattle is crude petroleum.
That which has been prepared espe-
cially for this purpose by having some
of the keroScpe taken out is best to
use. 1t can be purchased for about
So Il barrel. The oil can be applied
with spray pump or with a paint
brush, care being taken to see that
the animal is thoroughly covered.
Only one application is necessary.
since the oil will adhere to the hair
for two weeks Or longer, killing the
young lice as they hatch.
This treatment. because Of its greasi-
ness. cannot he applied to horses that
are being used nor to milk cows. For
these Kerosene emulsion is good
remedy. 1t is prepared as follows: Dis.
solve One-haif pound Of soap in one
gallon of boiling water Remove from
fire and add two gallons of kerosene.
Churn violently with Il spray pump or
paddle until Il white creamy mass Is
formed. This is prepared for use by
adding nine parts of water to Que of
the mixture. |: eau he applied with

are TO be treated. II many are affect
cd they can be shut in a small yard
and soaked thoroughly with a spray
pump. A second treat ment at the end
of eight days will be necessary to kill
the young lice that hatch. Any of
the coal tar dips can be used in the
same way Crude carbolic acid diluted
with 100 parts of wafer is also good
remedy for lice
These liquid applications cannot well
be used in winter. and 1t is at that
time that the lice are the worst. They
often become especially troublesome 1

or insect powder. busted into the hair
will kill mauy of the parasites. To

The simple way 10 handle lice on
hogs is to dip them. A dipping tank
