NAVY Ilnht on War;

Lem Jackson loved to loaf. \, He
UYed IN the mountains not far from
Greennlle, Tenn, with his wife and
q large brood Of children. Lem had
q ahoun' dawg" that he set great
store by, and he spent most Of his
time lounsing in runway waiting
to shoot a deer driven In by old
Bose or sprawling on the bank Of q
stream fishing. In that way he was
good provider after fashion: but
not all the urging, scolding, naegins
and broomsticking of his shrewish
wife could drive him to work.
Lem led the lazy life Of Rip
Van Wrinkle until the outbreak Of
the Civil War, and then he surpris-
ed everybody by Joining the Confed-
crate army, for most of the noun
taineers fought for the Union. At
the end of six months Lem was shot
through the right thigh, and it was
long before he was able to limp out
Of hospital and back to his regiment.
In the second year he was shot in
the left shoulder, and when he re-
turned to duty his left hand was
bent far back by q shortened ten
don; but he was still. able to raise
his rife. Early in the fourth year
they got him again-a musket ball
through the body-but he was back
In the ranks long before the fighting
was ended. Every one wondered at
LENS persistence in sticking to the
terrible trade of war.
DR.. Girdner met Lem hobbling
down the street In Greenville one
morning in June, '65, still pale and
weak from his latest wound, his
right leg short and wobbly, his left
hand stiff1y bent back.
"Glad to see you alive, Lem" said
the doctor. Il suppose you're glad
to be home again.
WAL" Lem admitted, without en-
thusiasm. Il s'pose l had to git er-
long home. Gin'r'l Lee he surrend-
cred US down to Appomattox an we
all had to go home"
But aren't you glad to be away
from the dangers Of war;"
"Why, doc, war hain't SO bad"
cried honest Lem. war hain't SO
bad. There's lots O. days when you
don't have nothin' to do -Harper'a

HOW TO KuI, IMCE


We have tried the old French meth
cd OF killing body lice this season and
find it equal to and better than some
OF the much advertised lice killers
This is to wash the fowls in a strong
salt brine. This is not SO very hard
to do and is very effectual. Take a
large iron kettle and make it full Of
prime. Make it strong and then make
1t warm, about 100 degrees is right,
and keep it at that heat, then in the
Warmest part of the day catch the
hens and pullets-everyone of the
ffock-and give them a good soaking
In the brine. Be sure that YOU get
them wet thoroughly all over to the
skin and drain and press the brine
out of the feathers as much as posi-
BILE and let them have a sunny place
to dry and you will be rid of eyerv
Kind of body lice. Keep the fowls
head In your hand while washing
thep SO they will not get any brine
in their mouth or eyes. When YOU
are done washing make the brine
boiling hot and go over the roost
poles and the interior of the house
and you will be rid of the mites. Lice
and mites breed very rapidly during
the warm season and If not kept in
check they will soon impair the vigor
OF the flock and no eggs will be the
result Grit, oyster shell and fresh
water are very important factors, too.

NOTES.

Fill up or drain every puddle in
and around the poultry yards, or you
may lose some of your best birds
should they drink of this polluted
water.
April is a good month to hatch
time for getting out ducklings. Stock
Matched then will be best for next
years breeding.
Does the old hen lay? Try this il
she does not. Feed her all the chop
ped clover she will eat with an ounce
tof lean meat every day. If there is
any lay in her that will bring it out.
Don't be in hurry to remove the
hen and her brood from the nest.
The tender little chicks need warmth
more than they do feed for the first
twenty-four hours.
Keep an eye out for rats. Entire
matches can be destroyed in a single
night by these pests. Don't allow
lumber, logs, brush, and the like to
accumulate around your chick yard,
as all these afford rats a good hiding
place
Strictly fresh, frst-class eggs, as,
sorted as to size and color, always
command better price in the market
than promiscuous lot of eggs of all
sizes, tints and degrees of freshness.
Market only the choicest eggs and use
the others at home.
A deformed chick is not worth
bothering with and should be put out
of the way at once, unless from an
expensive setting of eggs, and even
then it will prove waste of time and
feed to try to raise it if the deformity
is something that promises to be per-
manent.

CARE OFF NcUBAToRs.

If operating an incubator for the
first time, do not be too hasty in put
ting the eggs into the machine. Study
the directions carefully and be sure
that you thoroughly understand them
before beginning operations A bad
start means a poor hatch, always, and
sometimes no hatch at all. Remem-
Der the self-operating incubator has
not yet been perfected, but all Of
them need careful attention. Follow
the directions implicitly, no matter
what anyone may tell you to the con-
trary.-Farmers' Home Journal.

Skin Humor Lasted 25 Years.

"Cuticura did wonders for me- For

WHITE AFRICAN GUINEAs.

The profits derivable from the keep
ing of guinea-fowl cannot be claimed
to be as great as those which can be
made by keeping other kinds OF poul'
try. Guinea-fowls are much priced in
| Europe; in Leipzig these birds com
mand high prices and the eggs sell
for double that of hen eggs. The
flesh of the guinea-fowl has a gamey
flavor There is but little difference
in it and that of the pheasant, the
flesh being perhaps a little darker.
They are not as yet favorite bird
in this country although much liked
and extensively raised by some.
1t is not easy to distinguish the sex
of the guinea-fowl and generally takes
an expert to tell them. The cocks
have a slightly larger lobe than the
hens, but this is not always reliable
guide. The number of hens that should
he allowed to one cock is matter on
which opinions differ. It is said by
some that they pair like cartridges,
but the writer has allowed as many
as three hens to run with one cock
ard got excellent results, every egg
being fertile. In all localities where
hawks are troublesome they are a
great benefit as their peculiar cry
tends to alarm and frighten them.
The white variety seem superior to
the others, are more domesticated and
do not ramhle so far as the others.
Country Gentlemen" says that the
white variety of guinea-fowl is com
ing more into prominence each year.
The flesh of the white is not so dark
as that of the Pearl variety; they are
not SO wild; may be taught to lay in
nest with the hens and are credited
with laying more eggs than the Pearl
variety will. II kept in confinement
they seldom evidence broodiness.
When the grasses are high enough to
shield their nests which they usually
make on the ground or in your poul-
try house where they will very often
lay in the hens nests; they usually
lay IS to $50 eggs if the eggs are
removed from the nests and not al
lowed to set Always be careful to
leave two or three nest eggs or they
are apt to desert the disturbed nest
and seek new one more secluded
1t is always a good idea, and / have
found out by experience that it is best
to never touch the nest with your
hand as they will nearly always leave
the nest and make new one. When
young they ere not hard to raise be-
ing a little more delicate than other
chicks, but will thrive and do well if
fed the same way as any other little
chicks only they should be fed oftener
as their crop is smaller and would
starve 70 death if not fed often
enough. They should be fed from six
to eight times in a day until week
or two old when they can be fed as
ordinary little chicks. Young guinea
fowls sell for large prices, being used
as a substitute for wild game fowls
out of season and in the large cities.
When investing in the guinea-fowl
please consider the white variety as
one of the most popular and leading
varieties.-H. o. Sunday.

Justice Newburger has appointed
referee to determine the claims of
several litigants In an action that
was begun in the Court of Chancerv
in 1910, wherein the original claim Of
litigants amounted to s10.55. The
Eve claimants today prosecuting the
action are the great-grandchildren
and their collateral relatives.
The action was brought by Charles
Marvin against Theodore l. Mason

in Brooklyn, and after some years
the money was paid into court. On
January "a, 1908, the claim, with IN
serest on the original $52.75, amount
ed to $3.50. The whole amount was
then turned over to the State Con-

INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS.

While most people know of Indian
Runner Ducks, but few know the prof
it in flock that is of good strain and
well cared for. Good care does not
necessitate much time, labor or ex-
pense but the observance of certain
things that are of vital Importance in
the needs of a ducks nature for
health and profit.
First, a cheap warm shed is all that
is necessary, no roosts, no lice, no
vermin of any kind to contend with.
If confined in small space a two
foot fence will hold them. If larger
range is possible no fence is required
as they are timid and will not stray
far from their accustomed place
feed water and shed. They insist on
going to their shed at night. For lay
ing they should have ground feed. If
not accessible to sharp sand, a load
SHOULD be bauled and dumped near
their feeding trough. This must not be
omitted.
I have been asked if they were
such remarkable layers as reported

strain or want of care, am not able

Their eggs go readily at higher
prices than hen eggs to bakers and

nature is manifest in many ways.
