The Poultry Yard.

Eighteen hens that were fed nilk last winter laid more eggs than 100 fed on cut bone and meat.
 A flock might just as we'll roost in trees as in a house full of cracks and holes, which chills the birds in spots and poduces bad colds.
 Some people are willing to pay an extra price for eggs on one color. Many people get cent or more a dog en for sorting their hen fruit accord. ing to size and color.
 Take no chances by having too many chickens together in one flock. If you see they are getting to be crowded in their winter quarters. make thrift and health a certainty by dividing them up. or selling some of them.
 You may have an idea that poultry can hunt their own grit. You are wrong. Grit is as essential as feed. Get a grit box. fill 1t with crushed rock and oyster-shell. and hang 1t on the wall where dirt will not be scratched into it.-Farm Journal.

Fever.


 The normal temperature of the hu- nan body Is about ninety-eight and six-tenths degrees, temperature which the internal forces of the body are able to maintain at a constant fig ure almost entirely without regard to the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. Any elevation of the body temperature above ninety-eight and six-tenths degrees or ninety-nine de- grees is called fever, and Is an indi- cation of something wrong. So also Is fall of the temperature below the normal point; but this Is a rarer con dftion than fever, and Is due usually to special causes which it is not neces- sary to consider here
 Since fever is the most evident symptom of number of different dis eases, and the one that gives charac- ter, as it were. to many acute ipfsar1 tious diseases. 1t has come to be syn onymous with disease itself, and | Is common to speak of some one beIn9 sick of fever. But fever is so far from being the disease that 1t Is ofts1. the curative and life-saving conditiou
 
 Many infections. such as pneumo1Ia and typhoid fever. would be mdrs often fatal if it were not for the hiSh body temperature that characterizess them. In pneumonia, for example, 1t has been noted that the higher the temperature certain limits. of course-the more favorable is the course of the disease. It Is therefore not a wise thing to give remedies to reduce fever, unless the elevation of temperature has continued very long time or is so high-over one hundred and four degrees-as to threaten in itself the normal performance of the vital functions.
 Sometimes, of course. the fever may get out of control, and from being in- imical only to the germs of the dis ease. actually endanger the life of the patient In such case treatment to re- duce the temperature Is called for.
 This Is best done by means of cool water in the form of tub bath. The patient should be put into bath at eighty degrees or ninety degrees. the water being then gradually reduced to about seventy degrees; or he may be wrapped in a sheet wet with cold water, or sponged with cold water.
 Water Is safer and better fever remedy than the so-called antipyretic drugs. the use of which is bad for the already weakened heart.
 This cool-water treatment should all ways be supplemented by the freest possible use of fresh air. even in very cold weather The oId-fashioned belief that a person with fever is going to take cold" easily has no foundation whatever.

Thumps in Pigs.

Thumps in pigs is caused by a sur plus of fat and lack of exercise. The thumping Is due to violent beating of the heart, causing shaking movement of the sides and Hanks of the animal. Often 1t is so violent that the whole body trembles and shakes with the movements. In aggravated cases the pig is weak and uncertain in his walk. and lies down most of the time. Before death the nose. ears and other parts of the body become red and pur- pie with congested blood. due to weak circulation.
 Advanced cases of the thumps are iificult to cure. When first symptoms are noticed reduce the bedding if there Is much in their sleeping quarters; reduce the feed and compel the pig to exercise in the open air Fresh air will purify the blood and exercise will promote circulation. When pigs be- come fat and lazy they will lie in bed a great part of the time, often com pletely covered with bedding. so that they breathe impure air and dust. This poisons the blood and reduces the vitality in general. which, with compression of the heart with surplus fat, causes the malady.
 In the spring or summer when pas ture is good 1t is well to change pas ture of hogs afflicted with the thumps 30 that they will be induced to take more exercise and eat green food. Re duce heavy feeding and keep the bowels of the animal loose by doses of castor oil. A little turpentine in the slop or drinking water is said to be good.

Selecting Seed Cnrn

In gathering the corn crop, it is well to look out for next years seed Next to good soil and good cultivation. is good seed. Do not place too much con. fidence in abnormal individual ears lect good ears from rows which pro duce a large yield. And when seed ing time comes next year. do not rely too much on the character of the seed. With well-prepared soil and thorough culture. a large crop of corn can be grown from almost any kind of seed. which will germinate. but good see.l will increase the yield, and will fully repay the trouble and cost of ootain- ing it.

Snniis and sIuEs.

A woman gardener wrote to State Biologist H. A. Surface at Harrisburg. Pa. asking for instructions how to overcome the snails in her garden. Prof. Surface replied: "Snails and slugs, although very great and seri- ous garden pests. especially where the gardens are damp and the vegetation rank, can be prevented by the use of an impossible barrier of powdery sub stance around the beds of plants to be protected. Soot is excellent for this, although dry ashes will serve the purpose. and air-slaked lime will be found very good. Also, you can kill them by dusting them with some freshly slaked lime mixed with paris green. using about thirty parts of the lime to one part of the paris green, which is dusted abundantly over their bodies. Also dusting their food plants with flour and paris green will de- stroy them. Another method is to poi son some leaves of plants of which they are particularly fond, and put this where the snails will find and eat them and be destroyed. Another meth cd is to place boards loosely on the ground. as traps, and in the morning examine them and pick out and gath CT the snails and brush them into a vessel containing salt, which will kill them. If the ground is dry and crack ed pour salt water into the cracks and thus destroy them. The barriers mentioned above should be kept dry, or renewed every time after a rain. Keep the vegetation around the gar den moved low. or keep the ground cultivated. so that these pests will not find suitable places where they can multiply"

 the French Metropolis.
 Although Paris has not its China town like New York. there are a great number of almond-eyed Celestials in the capital, says Paris correspondent in the London Globe. When, a num- Der of years ago, Chinese was em- ployed in a shop in the Rue de Rivoli to tie up packets of tea there was a great sensation. People flocked to see this representative of the far-off mys- terlous land where dragons were sup posed to roam in broad daylight and tiny little people in high pointed hats are necessarily crossing faail bridges spanned across gardens where the tea table is always in evidence. Now there are many hundreds of Chinese here. They come over for study as diplo- mats, "lntellectuals" or business men There are also a great many Chinese students in the French colleges. One of the strangest sights in Paris is the Chinese printing works. where books and catalogues are printed in the quaint characters of the flowery land, and also beautiful illustrated maga- zine called the "Che-Kiai," which is sent from Paris to the extreme Orient Brilliantly colored brochures" circu- lars and school books are also printed here by the thousand. There are also In Paris Chinese factories for the mak- ing of toys, tiny paper dolls. fans, bal looms, kites, etc; in fact. any thing that can be made from gaudy-colored paper and bamboo, as we'll as a small colony of manicurists and barbers. They go about their business in so quiet way that one hardly suspects their presence here at all

taking in the amount of dirt a post would replace. and then withdrawn. bringing up the dirt just as a dredger would. Indeed. the implement works much like a dredging machine. The advantage of auger is in. the small clean hole it makes. Without it post hole must be dug with spade and the smallest spade not only makes a hole too big. but one that necessarily slants from the rim to the bottom and must be filled again. It is easy to under stand that a post will stand much more firmly in a hole that does not have to be filled in.
