GHOSTS EVER BOTHER your
II Sc, Southern Negro Folks Say These

As a part of the folklore of the ne
gro folks the superstitions of slavery
days are of great interest. The fol-
lowing are some of the negro's beliefs
about ghosts:
To feel a hot breath of air strike
you at twilight signified the nearby
presence of ghost. Should you wish
to avoid him, stop and turn your coat
and trousers and hat wrong side out
and the spirit cannot encounter you.
II. however, he is pugnacious
sprite and approaches despite the
change, turn and address him thus:
Elm the name of the Lord, what do you
want?" Whereupon he will tell you
his business upon earth, then depart
and never, never trouble you again.
II, on the other hand, II is a prowling
ghost who crawls under the house.
bumps against the floor. makes
strange sounds, and whispers in the
midnight hours. you have only to put
IN a new floor and he will do SO no
more.
Some ghosts are obtrusive and will
not only prowl about the house, but
creep In through the crack of the door
In the wee small hours OF the night.
and, once inside, expand to vast pro-
portions. To spare yourself any dis
turbance in this way, sow mustard
seed all about the doorstep just before
going to bed. or place a sieve on the
doorstep.
Before entering. the spirit will have
to count all the holes In the sieve or
all the mustard seeds, and by this
time daylight will come and he will
have to go. AS the counting for one
night will not do for another you are
always safe.-Southern Workman.

is quite helpful In closing up the
small cracks and excluding the air.

heat the coal tar In q kettle. Care

coal tar gives on fumes that win ig.
mite when exposed to q fame. There
fore. while applying the tar to the in
side Of silo one should. BY all meanA
dispense with smoking.
A very good plan IL to have q IRE
for heating the coal tar some distance
from the building. and then apply II
to the inside Of the silo with q broom.
This can be done while the silo Is be-
ing filed.
Some make It . practice to paint
the inside Of the silo every year q

PICKED UP IN
CHICKEN YARD
Several Little Hints That wan
Prove Of Much Assistance
60 Any One Keepin&
Poultry.

The average cockerel does not pay
for his keep and he should be sent to
the block as soon as he weighs four
pounds unless he is to be kept for
breeding.
Let a strange dog rush through the
poultry yard and the excitement will
affect the egg supply for that day.
While hens have no sentiment.
there is no doubt they are extremely
nervous at times-particularly during
the breeding season--and should be SO
placed that they cannot be disturbed.
II does not matter SO much about
the breed as 1t does about the kind Of
treatment your hens receive.
or course. II you are going in for
poultry to sell on the market you must
select the fowl that will produce the
most meat. and IL for eggs the breed
that will produce more eggs than
meat. Then 1t is "up to you" to get
the most out Of them. as the slang
goes.
Once more. do not feed the young
chicks a particle of anything for at
least Sc hours after they are hatched.
Early feeding means disease and
death.
Do not wait a single day to order
your wire and put your enclosures for
the youngsters in good condition.
When a sick fowl is discovered. re-
move II at once. Maybe II you will
attend to II then and there you can
save It, whereas II allowed to wait
too long. II may die.
Throw an extra lot OF hay into the
poultry yards. The chickens will
scratch out every clover seed. There
is no better way to make them work
for their food.
Damp houses are the greatest pro-
moters of disease among fowls.
1t is a good plan to teach the young
generation of chickens to roost on
perches as soon as possible. For one
thing. this will keep them out of reach
of rats.
One Of our poultry folk advises put.
ting a pint of coal oil in each bucket
OF whitewash before going over the
inside of the hen house. This for the
special benefit of lice and mites.

For Forty Years a Hermit.

Isaac Sheath. who has Just died In
the workhouse at the age of seventy
eight. lived the life Of a hermit for
nearly forty years at Newport, Isle
OF Wight. He occupied mud-hut
which he erected on a piece Of waste
land in the village OF Chale, but the
hut became so dilapidated that the
rural district council ordered its de-
struction. Sheath was greatly exas-
perated by the councils interference.
and before he left for the workhouse
he burned the hut to the ground. Mice
and birds had grown so accustomed to
the old man and his lonely ways that
they used to come and feed from his
hand.-London Mail.

Woolly aphides are degraded insects
closely allied to the plant lice so COM
mon to all plants. Their mouth
parts are so constructed as to form
q sharp pointed sucking beak- This
Is thrust through the tenderest bark
and the trees sap thus withdrawn.
The very fragility of this sucking or
gan leads to the greatest damage to
the infested tree, because It can be
inserted only into or possibly partially
through the outer bark; thus the
nourishment Is withdrawn from the
stem Immediately beneath the true
bark. whose ofiice is to furnish new
wood on the one side and new bark
on the other. This drain upon the
trees food supply and the consequent
