THUNDER AND LIGHTNING DUR ING SHEET STORM SAID TO BE
 UNPRECEDENTED HERE.
Traffic in the Downtown District lm- peded by the Cold Wave, Which
 May Reach Maximum Today.

Rumblings of thunder and flashes of lightning during a winter sleei storm here yesterday was said by many observers to be most unusual occurrence, and one they had never witnessed before.
 The sleet came in with the cold wave, which is generally sweeping the country arriving about noon, and con tinuing into the night with every pros pect of being the worst weather con iitlSn for at least five winters here.
 The street car management put out the heavy cars to keep the sleet from accommodating on their tracks, and they were run at intervals throughout the night. In the early afternoon the icy gatherings on the front vestibule of the cars made it difficult for the mo- tormen tolook ahead, and often the cars were stepped and the ice thawed out.
 Sleighing was begun in the early hours of the evening ana many sleighs were reserved for today, when it is expected that this form of winter out ing will be generally revived during the period of the sleet storm.
 Parties interesting in the farming industry near the city stated yester- day that the wheat or other crops which had been planted already would probably be lost. The fruit will not suffer materially unless the storm grows more severe. The late crops will be benefited by the solid freeze and thaw that follows.

REGULATE WATER IN ORCHARD
For Nursery and Trees servieeable
Tubes May Easily Be Made Out
Of Common Pine Lathing.

In recent years short tubes or
sprouts have been used In many OF
the head bitches of orchards to
divert small quantities of water to
burrows. These tubes are usually
made of wood. but pipes made OF
clay. black iron. galvanized iron
and tin are occasionally used. For
nurseries and young trees espe-
cially and also for mature trees
cheap and serviceable tube may be
made from pine lath. such as are used
for plastering. writes Samuel Fortier
in Field and Farm. The four-foot
lengths are cut into two equal parts
and four of these pieces are nailed
together to form a tube.
One of these tubes when placed
with its center two inches below
the surface of the water In the
head ditch discharges nearly three
quarters of a miners inch of water.
and II placed four inches below the
surface. will discharge more than one
miners inch. In some places the
lumber mills manufacture special
lath for this purpose. 1t is made one
half inch thick, two inches wide and
SO inches long. II such tubes when
thoroughly dry are dipped in
hot asphalt they will last a much
longer time. In some of the de-
ciduous orchards of California a
still larger wooden tube or box is
used. 1t is made of four pieces of
three-fourths by three and three-fourths
inch redwood boards of the desired
length. The flow through this tube
is regulated by a cheap crate, consist
Ing of piece of galvanized iron fas-
tened by means of leather washer
and wire nail.
An orchardist can often purchase
at low figure pieces of worn-out
and discarded piping varying from
three-fourths to two inches in diane
ter. Such pipes when cut into suit
able lengths make a good substitute
for wooden spouts. Tin tubes one-half
inch in diameter and of the proper
length have been used with good sue
cess. In compact coils through which
water passes very slowly the burrows
must be near together and under such
conditions small tin tubes are to be
preferred. In making use of tubes Of
various kinds it is necessary to main
tain constant head in the supply
ditch. This is done by inserting
checks at regular distances.
These distances vary with the grade
of the ditch, but $50 feet is not far
from being an average spacing. In
temporary bitches the canvas dam is
perhaps the best check, but In perma-
nent bitches 1t pays to use wood or
concrete. In the latter the opening
is controlled by a dashboard which
may be adjusted so as to hold the wa
ter at any desired height and at the
same time permit the surplus to flow
over the top to feed the next lowest
set of burrows.

Destroying Hen Lice.

We have found 1t much easier to de-
stroy lice and mites when we use

Baltimore American. These are strong
and the fat surface will hold quite
a quantity of the louise killer. which
is painted on the top and bottom of
the perches every few days during
the summer.
This will usually destroy the lice
II 1t is attended to regularly. but II
the hen house is an old one and pol
luted with lice by all means spray ev-
cry crack and corner with the liquid
lice destroyer.
The house should not be closed up
tight while the fowls are In 1t imme-
diately after using the lice killer. or
the fumes will likely injure them.
The red mites are one Of the worst
pests and painting the perches with the
liquid louise killer will usually destroy
them at the same time.
In the daytime they may be found
on the under side of the perches and
under boards and in all cracks and
crevices, but during the night they
come out and sap the life blood out Of
the fowls.

As soon as the pig is discovered to
be droopy or falling behind the rest
OF the herd 1t should be taken out and
put in an Enclosure by itself.
Many small pigs are stunted In

Pigs should be sorted to size and
each lot kept to itself. This is not
much trouble and will enable the lit
tie fellow to stand a better show at
the feeding trough.
A eve showing too much masculin-
ity and ram showing too much fem

A horse that is perpetually stepping

half broken. A well-broken horse will
stand until his owner adjusts the

Every flock owner should give spe-
