Similarity Aids AduItera.ion.

AS rule. successful seed adultera-
ton is made possible by the similarity
existing between the inferior seed and
that OF the crop seed with which 1t is
used. II often happens, therefore that
the aduIterant used is the seed OF some
plan. very closely related to the adult
terated crop seed The dealer who
adulterates seed bases his faith in the
success of the deception upon the very
care less examination made or the alb
sence of any examination of the seed
by the average purchaser, including the
majority of retail dealers. II, before
buying, careful examination OF the
sed offered for sale was made by all
buyers, guided by knowledge OF the
various adulterants used. seed adui-
terat;on would soon cease.

farm crops commanding uniformly diff
ferent prices in the seed market consti-
tutes adulteration when the mixture is
sold at the price of the more expensive

IS IT A HUMAN sAFEeUARD7

County medical societies in Texas
are urging the legislature of that state
to enact a law establishing vasectomy
as a preventive Of crime. yasectomy is
an operation of very minor character,
equivalent IN it's effect on the race to
emasculation. The bill to be presented
by the medical societies have for their
avvwed purpose prevention tre rs

mental defects. Lunatics. criminals,

Destroying Rats.

Many devices have been recon- mend
ed for driving rats from premises. Some
are based on superstitions but 1t must
be remembered that nothing Is gained
when they are simply driven from one
place to another. Their destruction
must be sure and complete. Traps are
good, but the rats are so cunning that
after few are caught the others seem
to understand and stay away. To de-
stroy rats. each evening when the cows
are MIXED. place a little fresh milk in
shallow pans around where the rats
can get IT, Keep this up for week
until they get bold and impatient for it,
Then mix arsenic in the milk and await
results 1t will kill every rat that likes
milk and that means almost every one.

Get Rid of the Mites.

A sure remedy for mites on chickens
and in henhouses is to sieve the ashes
from the cook and heating stoves. Just
after the chickens have gone TO roost
throw the ashes up against the ceiling
or roof OF the house any way to get
them scattered to make dust-the more
dust the better. A pail of ashes thrown
around the house two or three times a
month viii keep all mites and lice out
of the house. ! also put pile some
where in the house for the chickens to
scratch and dust in. The dust from the
ashes will not hurt the chickens. have
thrown it all over my chickens in the
daytime and It gets all thru their
feathers better. as it scares them and
they will fly or jump around. This is
a sure remedy, and will clean the mites
out of house in two or three weeks.

How often to Feed,

Some poultry keepers fall into the
very bad habit of throwing a handful
or more OF grain to their fowls every
time they visit the poultry quarters or
wish to call the fowls together for any
purpose. This kind of treatment soon
beaches the fowls to expect it as a reg
ular thing, and the result is that they
depend upon having feed thrown down
in front of them every few hours, and
consequently they will not work or
scratch to keep themselves in good
condition by taking desirable exercise.
The lesson is this: Feed only at reg
ular intervals. Cut out. the intermedl-
ate lunches" Two times in summer
and three times in winter is often
enough to feed fowls per day, and at
least one of these meals should consist
entirely of grains and seeds scattered
in deep litter to make the fowls take

II is estimated that the present

Where viii they go? But maybe it
just SO they get out OF Chicago. Lots

reach that country from this in the

In Chicago the order has gone forth
that no iatoxicants are to be dispensed
in saloons where women assemble.
Then Chicago has saloons where wom-
en- assemble, has she? Not suffragettes?
