PARADISE FOR BIRDS.

Greatest Selection In the World.
The arrival of 1880 cartridges at
Boxwood, the country domain of John
D. Rockefeller at Pocantico Hills, in
the northern part of Westminster coun-
ty, N. Y, brought to light the other
day the fact that Mr.. Rockefeller is
laying out veritable bird paradise on
his preserve.
In one section of his great private
park of 10000 acres Mr.. Rockefeller
has laid out a feeding ground for, his
vast collection Of the feathered tribe.
On tall trees cages for cartridges, pi-
geons and other birds have been placed,
while there are also separate buildings
for hundreds Of pheasants, squirrels
and rare birds of varicolored plumage.
The tank steamers of the Standard
Oil company are constantly bringing
in rare birds for Mr.. Rockefeller from
foreign countries, and it is said that
he intends to have the finest collection
of the feathery tribe in the world. Mr..

enough so that they will be completely
submerged. By having chute leading
up to the tank herd of hogs can be
dipped in very few minutes. Coal
tar dips are as good as anything for
this purpose. The dipping will have
to be repeated in eight to ten days.
Such a dipping is also effective for

will add to the thrift of the hogs.
One of the best means of controlling

/" HERE are two general classes
of parasites that affect ami
mals-external and internal.
Chief among external para
sites are lice. These live in the hair
next to the skin, feeding on it and
causing the animal great annoyance.
Not only that, but animals badly at
fected with lice run down greatly in
flesh, look bad and soon become mon
ey losers for their owners. There are
many kinds Of lice affecting horses,
cattle and swine, with a few species
that confine their attention to sheep
and goats. These lice are Of two
kinds-sucking and biting. The treat
ment is much the same for both kinds,
so that it will not be necessary to
treat them separately.
Lice are sometimes difficult to find,
even when they are present in con-
siderable numbers. This is especially
true of long haired animals The
neck, shoulders and root of tail are
the places most frequently affected.
Remedies For Lice.
One Of the best remedies for lice on
hogs and cattle is crude petroleum.
That which has been prepared espe-
cially for this purpose by having some
of the kerosene taken out, is best to
| use. 1t can be purchased for about
| SIS barrel. The oil can be applied
| with a spray pump or with paint
brush, care being taken to see that
the animal is thoroughly covered.
Only one application is necessary,
since the oil will adhere to the hair
for two weeks or longer, killing the
young lice as they hatch.
This treatment, because of it's greasi.
ness. cannot be applied to horses that
are being used nor to milk cows. Fol
these kerosene emulsion is gooG
remedy. 1t is prepared as follows: Dis
solve one-half pound of soap in ONT
gallon of boiling water. Remove from
fire and add two gallons Of kerosene
Churn violently with spray pump Of
paddle until white, creamy mass i
formed. This is prepared for use BY
adding nine parts of water to one o:
the mixture. 1t can be applied with :
brush or rag when only few animals
are to be treated. If many are affect
ed they can be shut in small yar(
and soaked thoroughly with a spra,
pump. A second treatment at the emf
of eight days will be necessary to xii
the young lice that hatch. Any o
the coal tar dips can be used in the
same way. Crude carbolic acid dilute:
with 100 parts of water is also a gool
remedy for lice.
These liquid applications cannot wei
be used in, winter, and it is at tina
time that the lice are the worst. The
often become especially troublesom
on colts toward spring. Pyrethrun
or insect powder, busted into the hal
will kill many of the parasites. IL

are effective.
The simple way to handle lice o
