Consul Augustus E. Ingram, of Brad
ford, quotes from a Yorkshire paper an
interesting statement that a Vienna
firm had apparently succeeded in OBJ
tanning from nettles a snowwhite plant
bulb of fiber, with merits halfway be-
tween those Of cotton and linen, with
the further great merit that 1t should be
cheaper than either because of the limit
less quantity of nettles that can be
grown, with slight encouragement, in
many regions. Fabric made of nettle
fiber is nothing new-indeed, 1t is stat
ed that formerly housewives made their
best sheets out OF ft--bur hitherto no
way has been found of separating the
valuable fiber from the accompanying
gums and waste on a commercial scale.

In the Poultry Yard

The youngsters should be examined
frequently now for signs of the big
head lice because unless they are dis
posed of they will kill the chicks.
The only thing necessary is to rub
the heads and under parts very gently
with a tiny bit OF lard.
r-s red lice are even worse than the
big fellows and must be continually
fought. They will quickly sap the vi
tality Of a flock and so weaken ii that
IL is practically useless.
The interior of the chicken house
should be thoroughly sprayed over every
square inch with kerosene into a gallon
of which two tablespoonfuls OF carbol-
ic acid should be mixed.

Don't Ruin the Colt

Many a good horse is spoiled in the

they must break colts and thus they

broken, and one of the important the

Blanching is a very important part
of producing good celery; because, I'M

tender, they are not only unpalatable
for the farmers family, but are of

not high value as food, but il put
on the market too young, is liable to
provoke serious gastric disturbances
and is dangerous food.
The flesh Of any young animal does
not keep fresh as long as that OF
older ones. so veal should be eaten
soon after killing and dressing.
Good veal may be known by its
pinkish color and white fat; when the
flesh lacks color and has blush look
