NEW WAY TO KILL FOWLS
"LadyIike" Method of Abolishing the
Usual Cory Spectacle Has Been
Devised.

A new and "ladylike" way to Kill
fowls has been devised by which the
free flowing and scattering OF chick
ems blood after lancing Is prevented
and the unpleasantness of viewing
the whole sanguinary affair is re-
moved, remarks an exchange.
What to the squeamish is the most
distressing feature of the poultry Dusl'
ness-killing fowls by hands eiiml'
mated by a machine which does the
work with accuracy and with a dell
cacy that must appeal to the esthetic'
The fowl is considerably suspend
ed by the legs from the yokelike reg
clamps with its body and head In
tubular casing. In the lower portion
of this casing is a dainty head holder
with a ring in which the bill is In
serted. A V-shaped collar is pusned
into position and tenderly locked In
place over the front portion OF the
neck of the fowl. The door to the
casing Ia then decently closed.

using the dip in weaker proportions
than recommended, or by hurrying the
sheep through the bath, or by failing
to dip all of the flock, may result in
rendering the whole operation useless.
1t also has been determined by &C
tual experience that dips deteriorate
with use. After a number of sheep
have passed through the vat, the &C
tive principle falls below the standard
required for effective work. In order
to meet this situation, chemlcal-test-
ing outfits have been designed which
can be used at the vat to determine
the percentage of the active principle
in the dip at any given time. In the
bulletin already mentioned specific in
structions are given for the prepara-
ton of both lime sulphur and nico-
tine and sulphur dips. Large sheep
owners will find it advantageous to
build and maintain their own perma-
ent watts. Farmers and others who
have only a few head of sheep may
employ the portable galvanized-iron
dipping watts known as hog vats," or
dipping bags made Of canvas. In ad-
dition, means must be provided for
heating the baths, as the temperature
of the solution is an important factor
in it's efficiency. Both the lime sui
phur and the nicotine and sulphur
dips should have temperature OF
from 100 to los degrees F. II the
bath is hotter than this the sheep
may be injured, and if it is colder
the grease in the wool will retard its
action and the mites may not be de-
stroyed. 1t is desirable, therefore,
that thermometers be used to ascer-
tain the actual temperature of the
baths and that this be not left to

Dickens and Women's Clubs.

There is a certain connection be-
tween Dickens and the origin Of the
'women's club" movement in the
United States which will interest his
admirers. The New York Press club
in 1868 yentured to give a dinner
TO him and to exclude all woman
workers on the newspapers of the city.
The affront was felt keenly. 1t led
straightway to the organization of a
woman's club called Sorosis, of which
the chief members were press women
among them Jennie June Croly, Kate
Field and Alice and Phoebe Cary. The
success of Sorosis was such, and its
influence in expanding the range OF
woman's interests and influence was
so marked that it at once had imita'

sF'rom the United States Department of
Agriculture.
Sheep owners should continue for
some years to come to dip their f1Ocks
at least once year as a precautiOn
against sheep scab, according to spe-
ciaIists in the department. During
the past ten years systematic efforts
to eradicate this disease have been so
successful that there is a tendency on
the part of many flock masters to be-
lieve that all danger of loss from this
cause is at an end. This, however,
in the opinion of the department, is
not the case. It. is true that the eco
nomic losses from the disease at the
present time are insignificant, but
scab has not 1been completely eradi-
Gated, and it is necessary for the pro-
lection of. the industry that dipping
be- continued for some time to come
Common scab q was formerly the
greatest drawback to the sheep indus
try in the United States. It is, how
ever, easily controlled by regular dip
ping in lime sulphur or nicotine and
sulphur solutions. These are the only
preparations recognized by the bureau
of animal industry for official dipping.
The dipping solutions are not difficult
to handle, and every sheep owner is
urged to make certain by their use
that sheep scab does not gain foot
hold in his flock. In the cost Of dip
ping, labor, fuel and the necessary
materials are the principal items.
These vary with different localities,
but in the large sheep-growing sec
tionS of the West it has been calcu-
lated that sheep may be dipped for
from to 31a cents per head.
Do Work Thoroughly.
Two clippings, from 10 to IA days
apart, are necessary in order to in
sure the complete destruction Of all
the mites which cause the disease.
The first dipping should kill all those
that are Matched but may not destroy
the eggs that have been laid in the
wool These hatch in about ten days,
and the mites which result will sue
cumb to the second dipping. In this
connection a new publication OF the
department. Farmers Bulletin lib,
points out that it is loss of time and
money to dip sheep unless the work
is done properly, and any attempt to
economic time, labor, or money, by

couple IL they inherit dislike for
either the one parent or the other the
home is in continual contention They
have been ushered into the world
without parental love in their hearts;
bitter hatred and disrespect have
taken it's place. They fly from the
home nest early. They drift to the far
corners of the world and are heard
from no more. Such children bring
remorse and regret.
Y On the other hand, the coming of lit
tie ones into the home nest often
draws welded hearts together that
were drifting apart. A child plays
upon the harp strings of both hearts.
How can a husband and father look
into the innocent eyes of his child
his own flesh and blOod-and desp1se
the mother who bore it? Nor can
mother clasp to her bosom the little
one she loves better than her own life
without a feeling of tenderness for its
father, pushing aside the resentment
that may have found Judgment in her
breast against him.
Many an estranged couple have
made new vows kneeling beside the
cradle of the little child which God
has sent them; aye, fallen in love
with each other anew, earnestly, de-
liberately this time, whispering the
one to the other that this is the begin
ming of, their real union. Both work
together, hand, brain, heart and soul,
for the wellbeing of the child. The
additional little ones that come knit
their hearts, interests and hopes the
closer together.
Hasty marriages seldom turn out to
be the happiest ones if the home is a
childless one. 1t is too much to risk
to pledge the love and happiness one
hopes for in the future with one whose
tasks, habits and morals are an I'M
opened book.
The old sage who said couple
should not wed until they have win
tered and summered each other wrote
more wisely than ne knew. Do not
wed in haste if you would not repent
at leisure.

OF all affection taught a lover yet
IT'S sure the hardest science to forget
Good nature and good sense must ever
join:
To err is human, to forgive divine.
There is a limit to the patience OF
even the most goOd-natured of women
Whether they put too much faith in
mans word or whether men imagine
they may, cut as many capers as they
contriteness to be forgiven to have 1t
granted them is somewhat of prob
lem.
A man may signify his intention to
call upon young woman on certain
evening, and, through the stress OF IN
usual and unexpected business compli-
cations arising, work late and COM
pletely forget the date and that he is
expected to call at certain hour. Re-
membrance of the fact usually comes
to him at an hour too late to put in an
appearance. He does the next best
thing-hastens home and writes the
girl. He asks her pardon for disap-
pointing her He seldom tells the ex-
act truth concerning the matter be-
cause, as he turns it over in his mind,
it sounds too absurd. He frames up
reasonable excuse. The girl believes
and pardons him.
Let this occur too often and annoy
ance crowds out interest in the girls
heart for him. 1t is bad enough to sit
iR her best bib and tucker waiting for
him, painfully conscious her mother
and father are commenting upon the
lateness of the hour in the room above,
and her two sisters in the front room,
across from there, and her mischiev-
Gus younger brothers giggling in the
hall and whispering shrilly to each
other between laughs. A spirited girl
soon feels that she will lose her self
respect by forgiving such fragrant neg
lect again and again.
On some other occasion when he
tells her he is to call, declaring she
must trust him this time, he is aston
ished to hear the girl reply, Il am
sorry, but | am expecting company on
that evening" Polite fiction" the man
who has no word concludes, but the
girl is sincere. She has told him the
truth She has grown tired of being
asked to pardon his absenting him.
self on too many occasions and has
turned to other acquaintances who
would not thus abuse her conf.
dence and forfeit her good opinion.
Her family makes no bones of ex-
pressing it's disapproval Of his meth
DDS. Her father sets him down as
man not to be depended on. Her
mother thinks he is not sufficiently in
terested in her to spend an evening If
he can find more congenial society
elsewhere. Her sisters Indignantly dub
him a mean fellow. The small broth
ers do not like him on general prin-
ciples, for he has never yet kept his
word with them about bringing them
marbles, kites and balls. They are
not like their sister-after being
fooled once by him they never after
ward trust his word.
It is lesson the boys are told never
to forget-that they may be pardoned
once or perhaps twice for negligence,
but after. that it becomes an old story.
A man should be chary about break
ing his word with women. They may
forgive in part, but do they forget?
