Protecting Insect Destroyers.

In France, painted notices are
posted on every farm and along the
public highways, bearing the follow
ing: This board Is placed under
the protection of the common sense
and honesty of the public. Hedge
hogs live upon mice, snails and wire
worms-animals injurious to agri-
culture. Don't kill hedgehog.
Toads help agriculture; each one
destroys 20 to 80 insects hourly.
Don't kill toads. Moles destroy wire
worms, larvae and insects injurious
to farmers. No trace of vegetables
is ever found in his stomach; does
more good than harm. Don't kill
moles. Each department of France
loses yearly millions Of francs by
the injury done by insects. Birds
are the only enemies capable Of bat
tling with them vigorously, they are
a great help to the farmer. Children,
don't take the birds nests"

We always save all the poultry
manure which we scatter over the
surface as evenly as possible and it
is we'll raked in before planting the
seed. We also save the ashes from
our wood fires, and give the surface
a generous sprinkling which is also
mixed with the soil. This applica-
tion of potash makes our onions firm
and fine favored and makes our
peas and beans bear an enormous
quantity, and benefits other vege-
tables also. Did we not have the
ashes we should use the commercial
fertilizer rich in potash for our on
ions, peas, beans and tomatoes at
least, besides sweet and Irish pota-
toes.
Our spinach, lettuce, mustard, cab
bage and peppers did the best when
a good application of poultry ma
nure was given. One year we grew
nearly six dollars worth of mango
peppers on a trifie over a square rod
of land. These peppers were mar
vel to all who saw them and would
have continued bearing longer but
frost cut them short.

Queens Who Smoke,

Somehow it seems unimaginable
that Queen Alexandra or the German
Empress or the Queen of Rumania
should have taken to the Cigarette
habit" to which most of the younger
consorts of European rulers confess.
Yet Carmen Sylvia is on a list of
Queens who smoke" which has Just
been published, and explains that she
has never yet put a poetic thought
into writing without that best of
nerve soothers, the cigarette, be-
tween her lips. The Dowager EN-
press of Russia, Queen Amelia of
Portugal and the Dowager Queen of
Spain are also among the smokers,
and, of the younger generation, the
Empress of Russia, who had never
smoked a cigarette before her mar
riage, is now probably the one whose
daily allowance of cigarettes is the
largest. But, then, ladies cigar
cites" in Russia are of the mildest
kind-almost as mild as chocolate
limitations.

What Happens When II Is About to
Be Examined.
The modern bank was about to be
examined.
Sorry to keep you waiting" said
the assistant janitor to the examiner,
but the President has to have lew
days to call in some collateral that he
had to use to negotiate a loan in order
that his wife could give string Of
pearls this year and beat some one
else"
Don't mention it," said the bank
examiner. Il am in no immediate
hurry. Still, perhaps l could see the
cRshier?"
"You must give him a little time"
said the assistant janitor, in gently
reproachful tone. You must remeu
Der that you sent no notice that you
were coming, and of course he will
have to hustle around and get from
some other bank the money he had to
borrow recently to buy his boy a rae
ing car. 1t was only a paltry twenty
thousand, but"
well, might go in and sit with
the paying tellers a little"
Wouldn't have you associate with
them for the world! You know we
are only paying them about ten or
twelve dollars week now, and as
they have large families to support,
they are really shabby, and not fit
company for a gentleman"
How about the Office runner?"
He would be all right II he were
here, but he's down at the race track.
Come around early next week and
we'll have things fixed up so that you
can send in a report to Washington

while. You'll have to excuse me now

Poultry Notes.

While oats are a good egg pro-
ducing food, better results can be
secured by alternating with bran.
Rolled oats soaked in sweet milk
is a. good ration to commence feed
ing young chickens.
Scald out the drinking vessels once
a week. Filth is easily carried to the
system through drinking water.
Clean dry earth is one of the best
absorbents for the poultry house.
Scatter it literally over the floor.
Sprinkle the nests with a solution
of diluted carbolic acid. 1t will aid
materially in keeping down lice.
Boiling milk that is fed to the
fowls will increase it's value and les
sen the risks of its producing di-
sease.

BILE, buxum and barefoot, performed

Goals AROUND the baker where the

Cheapest Remedy,

Kerosene is the cheapest remedy
for the red mites, or lice, that infest
the roosts and nest boxes. The pat
ent lice killing preparations may be
more effective in penetrating cracks
and crevices, but coal oil is cheaper
and more convenient. One of the
simplest ways to exterminate the
body louise is by means of a dust
bath made of three-fourths soil and
one-fourth wood ashes.

The man who sticks to one breed
from year to year through all it's ups
and downs, is sure in the long run
to enjoy the just rewards for his
constancy. The breeder who keeps
changing from one breed to another
or who makes endless crosses" hop
ing to find one "easy to breed" is the
one who is always complaining about
his poor luck in the poultry business.
A good poultryman can make a sue
cess with almost any breed in the
field.

Loves Patriot.

Red are the fragrant lips
Within the garden-close:
Love, thy dear ones eclipse
The beauty of the rose.
White are the flowers that fill
The meadows of the sky:
Love, thou art winter still
Than any star on high.
Blue is the sea agleam,
And blue the dome of night:
Love, thou hast eyes of dream
Bluer and all delight.
So, ever shall thou be-,
Since thou dost we'll combine
These chosen colors three,

Some think that by crossing pure
bred fowls better results can be OBJ
tanned, and they proceed to cross
this, that and the other varieties to
suit their fancies, and thus the flock
is degenerated. Careful breeding
has been carried on for many years
to bring out varieties useful for
every known requirement. No cross
is so good as the pure breed in all
it's purity.
