The general public, always interested
in personalities, inquiries, "Who is an
insurgent?" Uncle Joe Cannon, in
more or less bewhiskered and unsteri-
lied language, rises to the question,
why is an insurgents" TO answer
all three queries adequately would re-
quire several books. But as | have

body else would have time to read
them we will have to boil it down.
To begin In the good old ordinal and
ordained way: Firstly what Is an in
surgent? 1t depends on who is giving
the answer. If it were Robert Marion
Ia Toilette he would doubtless reply,
AN insurgent is the nOblest work Of

or the editor into Jail. Either the La
Toilette or Cannon idea would prob
ably be biased. To take a perfectly
dispassionate view, an insurgent is one
who wants to change the rules of the
house in which he is serving; also the
rulers. He has a passion for ripping
1t into Cannon and Aldrich. He wants
to revise the tariff downYard-empha-
sis on the "down"-or at least he
wants to do it to all the tariff that
does not affect his district. Finally

speaker won't let him. That is the

male bird.
Liquid lice killers are used prim-
arily to paint the roosts and dropping
boards. Their fumes rising through
the feathers of the birds cause the &c
to drop off The practice is to paint
the roosts about o'clock in the after
noon before the fowls go to roost This
also prevents mites from attacking
the fowls. Most of the liquid lice kill
ers are coal-tar products and are sold
as coal-tar disinfectants. Some of them
do cause the lice to drop from the
fowls. but whether or not they always
kill the lice is not certain.
1t has been found that when fowl
was placed upon a roost coated with
the cresol soap formula G ven below,
the lice would drop in large numbers
and could be caught upon paper
spread beneath the roost. In the ma
iority of cases. however the parasites
were not killed Where this method is
used the droppings should be removed
and dropping boards cleaned early the
following morning to prevent the lice
from reaching the fowls again.
A good disinfectant for painting the
roosts for lice and mites is made as
follows: Shave one ten-cent cake OF
laundry soap into one pint Of soft
water. Heat or allow to stand until
a soap paste is formed. Str in one
pound of commercial cresOl and heat or
allow to stand until the soap paste is
dissolved Stir n one gallon of kerosene
Cresol is a coal-tar product and may
be obtained from the druggist at about
soc per pound. Care should be taken
not TO get any of it upon the hands or
face as it will cause intense smarting.
For use as a lice paint, apply undilu-
ted.
Some poultry rasers have rid their
fowls or lice by dipping the birds II
a diluted stack dip. This is, however,
probably no more satisfactory than a
thorough busting and is much harder
upon the fowls If it is deemed advis-
able to dip the fowls, the cresol formu-
la given above, diluted with so parts of
water, makes a good solution. Dipping
should be done in the morning of a
bright, warm. sunshiny day in order
that the birds may become thoroughly
dry before night.

In giving methods of destroying lice
if fowls have easy access to dusty
earth walIow where they can work the
fine. dry particles Of dust into their
feathers, they will keep themselves
fairly free from lice, but eradication
will not be entirely complete in the
majority of cases. good dust wal
low may be made OF equal parts OF
sifted dry loan and coal ashes. Wood
ashes should not be used, as they may
bleach Or burn the shanks and feath-
ers
For the eradication of lice quickly,
and completely. as upon show birds
and sitting hens, it is usually neces-
sary 10 work a fine dusty powder into
the feathers. The method Of applics
ton Is to hold the fowl with one hand
by the legs. head downward. anc
work the powder into the fluffy feathers
around the vent, on the body, under
the wings, and on the neck with tle
free hand.
There are several lice powders upon
the market. Most Of these do salts
factory work, although they are usual
ly expensive. An excellent powder 1T
low cost may be made as follows: To
IN xture OF three parts gasoline ana
une part of crude carbolic acid, stir
in all of the plaster of Paris it will
moisten. When enough plaster has
been added the powder will be dry,
brown sh pink in color, and have a
pronounced odor of carbolic acid and
gasoline.
A second application of the powder
should be made at the end of one week
to catch any lice that escaped the first
busting or had Matched from eggs in
the meantime.
Sitting hens should be thoroughly
busted when the eggs are placed under
them and again at the end of the flrss
and second. weeks. This insures them
being free from lice which the chicks
are Matched.
To kill the lice upon chicks. dust
the mother hen or paint the walls of
the coop with some liquid lice killer
or disinfectant as given below.
Especial care should be taken to
dust the male of the flock thorough
ly. as the quickest way to spread hes
through flock is by means of a lousy
