By A. G. SMITH, Professor OF Poultry
Husbandry, Minnesota Experiment
station)
The head louise attacks young
chicks generally before they are feath-
cred out, and is first found on the
head with its claws or feeders sunk
into the skin OF the head. AS they
become more numerous, they attack
the throat and neck as well. The rem
edy is simple, but it takes a little time.
Each chick must have its head
creased with lard. c%ottonseed oil or.
olive oil You win have to look close
ly to e these insects. They are
very destructive to chickens, and
must be controlled or exterminated Il
the chick is to be healthy.

Human Nature.

The charities Of the late Timothy
D. Sullivan made him beloved In New
York's East side.
But these charities also gave Mr..
Sullivan an insight into human ma
ture, and he would sometimes say
with 2 wry smile:
"Give a poor man help and he'll love
you for a week. At the end Of that
time he'll hate you because you don't
give him more help"

ouires more accuracy, foresight and
skill than does scientific plant or
animal breeding" This specialist has
found out that it requires more than
one generation OF plant life to estab-
lish a o that is permanent; that
the union Of two distinct types may
prove a cross that is valuable or the
reverse.
In own seed saving the utmost
care Is necessary to bring the result
up to the standard. We have all seen.
two pieces of grain sown side BY side,
with seemingly similar conditions.
The one was treated with extra seed
thoroughly cleaned to remove all
weeds. The other had only fair seed
sown as It was gathered from the field.
Perhaps it had been tested and proof
given that It would grow" And this
was deemed sufficient. But the har-
vest vas on the side Of the good seed
II you have an extra good crop Of
corn, the best ears. carefully selected,
both as to the number OF ears on a
stalk and the size and shape Of each
ear, will bring much more next spring
when sold by the bushel.
They must be carefully dried. If
put IN the bin with the bulk Of the
corn they may grow but the vitality

bring the price that can be com

Il is the last end that is often the
losing one, After a thing is raised it
pays to care for it in the best possible
manner and get the greatest profit.
Some think that pumpkin seed are

kin they came from. 1t is a safe rule
that like begets like.
II you want to perpetuate your stock
and have something that is really
worth saving always select the best
and the earliest for saving seed.
Select the smoothest tomatoes and
scrape the seed into a can Of cold
water. Put 1t in some out-of-the-way
place and let remain several days or
until the seeds have sunk to the bot
tom Of the dish. Pour OF the water
and dry the seeds.
They win be found covered with a
dark fuzz and when dry may be kept
In paper packets, as supplied by the
scotsman. This Is much preferable to
the old fashion Of keeping them on a
cloth.
Cabbage, beets. parsnips and other
blennials arc best purchased direct
from the scotsman. If your time Is
worth anything 1t is more profitable
to buy than to raise these.
If you have any ~left-overs in the
seed box, be sure to date each packet
as saved, then there viii be no chance
Of wondering which is best.
II among several tested varieties one
is decidedly the best, save seeds from
this only. The amateur will do we'll
not to try to raise several varieties Of
any vegetable as they are sure to mix
and deteriorate in quality.
II your seed is not up to the
standard do not save It but buy next
season Of some readable dealer. It Is
money ahead ID the end.
