such that there will be no direct cur

LICE INFECTED
FARM ANIMALS
Insects More Troublesome During
Spring When Live Stock
Kept Inside Until Warm
Weather Arrives.
lBy r.. G. wEAfHERsToNE3

(By r. g WEATHERSTONE)
Lice seem to be more troublesome
during the spring when the farm ami
mails are kept inside until warm
weather comes than at any other time
during the year and as soon as an
animal is discovered to be lousy, the
lice should be destroyed at once. We
have found a strong decoction of to-
bacco an excellent wash for the pur-
pose of destroying lice, but during
recent years we have been using
mixture of crude oil and crude car
bolic acid mixed so parts crude oil to
one part crude carbolic acid and find
that this does the work in very
thorough and effective manner on
the cattle we apply 1t with a hand
sprayer, but for the hogs we prefer
to use a brush, or to satufate few
gunny sacks or old blankets and wind
them around post in the hog yards
and allow the hogs TO make their own
toilets by rubbing against these posts
TLey will soon learn how to apply
the mixture where It is most needed
and viii keep themselves free from
these pests if their beds and houses
are kept clean and disinfected.

The governor was Benedict Arnold eating his heart out there in that speck in the West Indies, hungering for news of relatives and friends and fearful that if he ever stepped aboard an American ship he would be seized, made prisoner and taken back to the land he had betrayed.
 From Martinique and Barbados the ship went to St. Kitts and afterward to Turks Island, thence back to New York, making a capital voyage and bringing a few more hundred dollars to the store of the supercargo. John Robins bade adieu to the sea. He had made up his mind to become a dry goods dealer. And so, when he had settled up with his brother Enoch. he went out to look for berth He went from store to store and was re- fused employment dozen times. Final 1y his steps led to the door of No. 430 Pearl street. The establishment was that of Henry Laverty, who later be- came merchant of renown and great wealth. Robins told him he wanted work, not wages. He had no eXpe- rence and was willing to give his time to get it. Laverty took him in.
 For s months John Robins slept on the counter in Laverty's store. He got up at daylight, opened the store, swept 1t out, dressed the window and made things right for the business of the day. He remained on duty until the store was closed at night He it was who locked the door and made every thing secure. He was patient, steady, dependable. He never seemed in a hur- ry, yet he always worked fast. The first day he worked in Lavertys store he spent a shilling for tin wash basin. He used that same tin basin every morning for 6S years
 When the IS months were ended he went to MT. Laverty and told him he was going to quit. Laverty said he would not let him go. He never had so good clerk and did not want to lose him. He offered a salary to Rob ins that was fattering for those days. It was declined. Then he offered to take young Robins into partnership. Again Robins declined. The young mad had obtained what he wanted, experience. So with the $500 he had saved from his two ocean trips he walked out of Law erty's place to embark in business for himself.
 He rented a tiny store at No. 4O6 Pearl street, only little distance from Law erty's place, and the next day he bought a small stock of dry goods at an auction sale in Wall street. All purchases by mer- chants of dry goods stocks in those days were through the big auction houses like that of John Hone.
 Robins paid cash for what he bought. The custom was to buy on credit, and he could have bought on credit all he desired, for Laverty offered to become his surety. The young man declined. He had adopted a rule not to be deviated from: Never borrow.
 He opened his shop in August, 1799 His mother went< with him as housekeeper. She was a good, old-fashioned dame.

ed cargoes and sent them to the West Indies to trade One of his vessels was brig called the Mary, of 150 tons day.
 Enoch Robins loaded this brig up with slaves for wine casks, dried cod fish and other truck and dispatched her to Bilboa in the Bay of Biscay, his brother John going as supercargo. The war with France was on at the time, and a French privateer came within an ace of capturing the Mary and her cod fish and her slaves. The brig just man aged to sneak into Bilboa in the nick of time. For three months she was tied up there. while the privateer sat out side like a patient cat watching a mousehole.
 John Robins improved the opportunity to sell the codfish and some of the other stuff in the cargo, and then the privateer. tiring of it's vigil, gave the Mary chance to slip out and sail for Lisbon, where her slaves were disposed of at a handsome price. The exportation of silver was pro- hibited by Portugal in those days, and young Robins took advantage of this fact to smuggle 16,000 Spanish dollars aboard. From Lisbon the Mary went to St Ubes, loaded with salt and made a fast trip back to New York. The salt was sold at a profit of nearly cents a pound, and when Enoch Robins squared up his &C., counts he gave several hundred dollars to his youthful brother for his services
 An attack of yellow fever laid the boy up for a time. but when he recovered he took to the sea again, this time as percargo on another of his brothers ships bound for the West Indies. The ship sailed late in the year 1797. She was bound for Surinam, Barbados and Mar unique. The latter island was at that. time in possession of the British.
 When the ship arrived at Martinique the English governor came off from shore in a gig to get the latest news that the vessel brought. When the gig reached the ships side the captain invited the governor aboard, but the governor de- clned. The governor asked many ques- tons. He seemed to know every man and woman of prominence in the United States. The few newspapers the vessel brought he took with many expressions of gratitude. Again and again the cap tain pressed him to come aboard. The more eager the captain was to entertain him the more loath the governor was to accept.
 For three hours the governor sat there in the open boat, talking. talking, talking. Every fragment of information he could obtain from the captain he seemed grate- full for. Now and then he would drop his head and be silent for a few moments, as If breeding. At last he reluctantly gave the order to his men to row away. The following day he was there again. He sat in his gig and asked more ques- tlons. Again the captain invited him aboard but the governor still refused. The third day he was there again, but this time the captain did not renew his invitation
