CALLANTSY OF THE ROOSTER.

Male chickens are often so gallant that they give their part of the food to the females and get into poor flesh. When this is observed to be the case, little boxes or hoppers of mixed grain and dry mash should be hung upon the walls of the chicken house, high enough to be out of reach of the females but readily reached by the males. With these arrange ments the rooster is enabled to feed himself without feeling under obli- gations to turn his food over to the lady chickens.-Farm and Preside.

WHEN CHILDREN ARE ILL
Famous Specialist Gives Good Advi>e on What Parents Should Do
 in Emergency.

In an article on the care of chll- dren in the Woman's Home Com panion. Dr. R. H. Dennett, a great New York specialist on the diseases of children, tells as follows what 10 do when a child has convulsion:
 ''When a child is suddenly seized with a convulsion, proceed as fol- lows: First-Loosen the clothing, but take off only the shoes and stock ings. Second-Place the child upon a bed or table, with his legs hanging over the edge from the knees down. Third-Put his feet and lower legs in pail of hot water, to which has been added one tablespoonful of powdered mustard. If you have no mustard, use hot water alone; be very careful it is not hot enough to burn. Fourth-Put an ice-cap to the head lacking an ice-cap, use plenty of cracked ice done up ir a towel. Fifth-Giye an enema of warm soapsuds. Repeat it if it is not retained. Sixth-As soon as the child is able to swallow, give a large dose of castor oil"

KEEPING LICE FROM POULTRY
Maine Experiment Station Bulletin | Recommends Simple and Quite
 Inexpensive Treatment.

One of the difficult and trying prob lens of the poultry keeper is to keep his poultry houses and stock free from lice, mites, etc. There are many proprietary preparations on the mar ket to combat these, most of which work satisfactorily. However, they are more or less expensive. The Maine experiment station has just is sued a bulletin on the subject and recommends a treatment which ap- pears to be fully as simple as any thing else, and much less expensive. The powder made by the station at a cost of only few cents a pound Is as follows: Take three parts of gasoline and one part of crude carbolic acid. Mix these together. Add gradually, while stirring, enough plaster of paris to take up all the moisture. The liquid and dry plaster should be thoroughly mixed and stirred so the liquid will be uniformly mixed through the plaster. When enough has been added, the re- sulting mixture should be dry, pink ish-brown powder, having a strong car bolic odor and a rather less pro- nounced gasoline odor Be sure that the crude carbolic acid is secured. If a spray is desired instead of the powder, simply take three parts of kerosene and one part of crude car bolic acid If birds are infested with lice the best way to get rid of them is to use the nOWder which is to be worked into the feathers. Remember, a single application will not be suffi- cient, because where there are lice present there are also unmatched eggs or nits Make second application four days to week after the first, ton may be necessary.
