Sulphur Fumigation.

IL takes some ingenuity to burn sul- phur in a vessel. as 1t tends to smoth- CT flames. If several pounds are to be burned, a fire of cobs or sticks soaked with kerosene must be built above the sulphur and kept burning until you see the blue flame of the sulphur licking up through the wood blaze.
 One way to disinfect the poultry house with sulphur is to dissolve one half pint of turpentine and one-half pint of tar in one-half gallon of kero- sene. Soak corncobs in this solution. and when ready to burn out the poul try house for lice or germs of disease have ready a disappointed piece of iron to thrust in the ends of the cobs, set a lighted match to 1t and while 1t burns pass the cob over the roosts. cracks in the henhouse and every where about it. This should be done every week for a month or more.- Agricultural Epitomist.

Passing of Horned Cattle.

Horned cattle and horned sheep arc rapidly disappearing. Many of the cattle bred and fed in the corn belt are hornless. Breeds of this kind are growing in popularity. In the noun tainous country and on the plains wild cattle needed long horns for the protection of themselves and their young. Now, however, with the plains thickly settled and with few wild ami mals the cattle do not need horns. Among the hornless breeds are the Galloway, Angus. Red Poll and Polled Shorthorns. Polled Jersey and Polled Hereford are also coming into favor. By the application of caustic potash the growth of the horns is prevented in the young calf.-Inter Ocean.

 Henry H. Rogers was man of striking and contradictory characteris- tics. He was a tremendous worker and all his life 1t was his habit to be up by 5:30 or o'clock in the morning.

Retailers are necessary according te present methods of doing business and until farmers organize a selling force of their own middlemen will continue to toll the farmers grist as thorough. ly as the traffic will bear. Peaches may rot on the ground in Missouri while selling for cents each In Chi cago. but the farmer in Missouri Is helpless because he has no represen tative in the market center The time will come when farmers will have ar agent at each central point to handle farm products and distribute them either to the consumer or retail gro cer. When that time comes farmers will come nearer getting what they work for. It Is just as necessary to sell right as to farm right.-Agricul tural Epitomist.

 The utter absurdity." said Carlyle. "of men and women spending their lives trying to whitewash what God Almighty has made black and meant to be black. instead of doing good to unfortunate honest people"
 Miss Eliot was not philanthropist of the submissive sort. She looked from Carlyle to Froude. sitting at the other end of the table, and pleasantly remarked to Dean Milman at her right:
