done and that the resulting ointment is properly marked.
 The method of application is to take an amount about the size of pea. on the finger, part the feathers, and put in on the flesh just below the vent. The result of this simple treatment is far above expectations as 1t is almost impossible to find single Iouse on birds 0 few days after treatment This method of control is imple. clean. and efficient. If the ointment Is used to hbera1ly on setting hens the eggs may become smeared thus causing possible injury to the developing em- bryos. To be on the safe side, one can dust setting hens with some good lice powder repeating the operation two or three times at intervals Of few days. To kill lice on the heads of young chickens use lard.
 The poultry mite is a more serious pest to poultry than the hen louse. It is often overlooked because of its habit Of hiding away in cracks and creViceS and of feeding at night Its harmful effects are often attributed to lice as these insects are more easily seen. The mite lives upon blood sucked from the body of the hen The amount of blood necessary to satisfy mites appetite is not large but as there may be hun dredS or even more at the feast dur ing the night, the loss to the bird must be appreciable The greatest harm is done by the irritation and suffering caused by the insertion of the needle like beaks through which the blood is sucked and by the consequent nerv- ousness and loss of sleep Setting hens are often driven from the nest and even killed by these tornentors There is sure to be a high mortality among young chickens placed where they can be attacked by these blood thirsty creatures,
 These mites usually hide during the day in cracks and creYices about the reosta or roost supports and between the supports and the walls of the house: These are tfle places to treat s'Carholenium,H 'F1ylSi1F. and some of the other coal tar products have been feNnd effective.

LICE AND MITES.
The Latter More Serious Pest Than
 the Former-How to Kill Them.

It is now near the season of the year when the lice that infest poultry will be capable of accomplishing their greatest amount of harm. Likewise this is the season when the poultry or roost mite is making it's appearance and laying eggs after having passed the winter in seclusion. These indi- viduals, if alive in the fall, will be the ancestors of thousands and perhaps millions of mites each one of which will have secured it's board and room at the expense of some poultryman writes J. A. Manter in the Connecticut Agricultural College Press Bulletin.
 Hen lice are a.boundant at all sea- sons of the year. They do not have to hide away in the winter as their hab- ftation is warm during this season as well as in summer They live through out their entire existence upon the body of the fowl and it is only by ac- cident that they may be found else where. They seem to thrive better in winter than in summer. Perhaps the reason for this is that the stock is kept in closer confinement and there fore, IS less able to ward off and free itself from the attacks of these little parasites. The poultryman usually finds his birds badly infested at this season, unless, of course, he has been treating for lice. Soon little chickens will be coming forth and if matched
 
 infested immediately and thoroughly, Those matched in an incubator brood- cd aFtihpially, and kept away from other stock should remain free from lice for a fime, Ahen may be able to support eemInuHity ef several thous- and lice Wfthout appaEant harm but thig same number on a young chicken will either Kill or greatly weaken 1t.

PRESERVING EGGS.
WatersIass is Best Preparation That
 Can be Used.

Market eggs are now retailing at 25 to 30 cents a dozen whereas six months hence they will undoubtedly be selling again for 50 and 60 cents a dozen and sometimes more as was the case last winter.
 The eggs that are laid at this time can be kept over until the season of high prices at a cost of about two cents a dozen. It would therefore be a good investment to preserve eggs now and consume them next October, thus enabling the owner to sell at high prices whatever egg his bullets lay at that time.
 For preservation of eggs at home waterglasS seems to be the best pre- paratfon for one to use. It can be for about 25 cents a quart. One quart of the waterglass mixed with twelve quarts of water that has been boiled and then allowed to cool will make enough mixture to preserve about Is dozen eggs. The waterglass and wa ter should be stirred until they are thoroughly mixed, then the liquid put into a stone jar that has been thor oughly cleaned When all Is ready the fresh eggs as they are gathere are dropped into the waterglass solution each day. Any eggs that float must be taken out Soi1ed eggs should not be used nor should they we washed and then put into the waterglass be- cause washed eggs do not keep so well. Such soiled eggs can be clean ed and either sold at once or used at home Tn filling the jar at least two inches of the liquid should cover the top layer of the eggs to allow for evaporation of some of the solution The jar when filled should be covered and stored in a cool cellar. April and May eggs are considered best for pre- serving-W. F. Kirkpatrick, Poultry Department, Connecticut Agricultural College.

Be Careful in Using
 Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle
 The best thing to use Is just plain mulsifed cocoanuf oil, for 1t is pure and entirely greaseless. It,e very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store. and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply noistea the hair with water and rub it In, about teaspo5nfui is all that is required. 1t makes an abundance of rich, creamy 1ather, cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright. fluffy, wavy, and easy to han dle. Besides. 1t loosens and takes out every particle of dust. dirt and dan- druff

NEW IDEA IN
 FARMER's INSTITUTE
Hindham County Town Has Demop-
 stration Section for Women.

The farmers institute recently held in the beautiful Memorial High School Ha1 at North Grosvenordale was pe- culiarly interesting because of the arr engagements and success Of its wo- mems section. This was the first in- stitute in Connecticut in which the Committee in charge planned in ad- vance separate sections for the men and the women. At this institute for the first time in the state a practical demonstration frl cookery as well as a talk upon that subject was given.
 The Home Economies Department of the high school cooperated in pro- viding a delicious lunch for those in attendance.
 The success of the institute was due 1 largely to the careful planning of the local committee and the cooperation of MT. H. R. Bellows, Principal of the
 High School In spite of the very dis
 agreeable weather about seventy five people attended.

BEGIN TO CULTIVATE BERRY
 FIELDS,

Nearly all berry fields are dried out sufficiently to warrant starting cultivation at this time. Those who planted cover crops among berries last summer find that much of the crop lived over winter and is now starting growth. Those who did not use a cover crop find that sorrei, weeds and grasses are starting growth, and because of t<s the ground sflouId be cultivated immedi- ately, Cultivating now will lessen . great deal the cost of producing herries and blaeIberries are now vation is put off will mean doubling the initial expense of preparing the land. The little sprouts of the rasp- berries and black berries are now coming through the ground. and as it Is always necessary to hoe in the rowH, getting out the few dumps of grass that are coming in it is doubly imnertant that this be done now so as not te igipre the little berry sprouts which are coming up through and which make canes for next years growth, Foliage on the ber- ries has not come out great deal, and sn t Is easy to hoe in among the canes Tlfheut mjyrE to me1a. -@s \

GOOD SEEDS,
No Man Ever Saved Money by Using
 Cheap Kind.

Seed of many crops is scare this spring and high in price. The ten- dency will be therefore, to buy the lower grades at lower prices, a prac- ice all too common in average years, as is proven by the large amount of poor seed disposed of each season.
 No man ever saved money by buy ing cheap seed. The lower grades al- ways contain more weed seeds and dirt, and are of lower germination. If the price is 10 per cent. lower than the best grade, the actual amount of pure, lower. It is plain to see then that one pays more for the actual seed pur- chased by buying cheap grades than by paying the higher price for the best. Not only is this point to re- member. but cheap seed also often contain noxious weed seeds, seeding a field to an unwelcome crop that will take years to eradicate. Weeds come in fast enough from other sources without buying the seed and sowing them on the land.
 Dealers usually carry the goods that the trade demands. If purchasers re- fuse to pay the price for pure, fresh seed, none will be carried in stock For 1t does cost more to produce good seed than poor and as a result a high CT price must be charged. The whole saler carries several grades and SUD- plies the retailer with the good or poor as the trade requirfes.
 It stands to reason that some years are more favorable for the production of good seed than others. As a re- suit the price fiuctuates. Last sea- son was unfavorable for many seed crops. Prices are high this spring The poor economy of using low grades is just as marked however. Demand the best grades and if the price is too high, get quotations from several dealers. This is a practice followed by too few farmers.

JUST RIGHT TIME TO SPRAY.
if Lime Sulphur Solution Burns Tips of Little Leaves No Alarm Need Be Felt.

In all sections during the past week could be found people who were busf- ly engaged in spraying trees with strong lime sulphur solution. In most cases, the buds were sufficiently ad- vanced to insure efficient results from spraying. The weather was not es- pecially favorable and some have not yet applied this spray. As previously urged it can be safely used up until the time when the leaves are from one-fourth to one-half inch in length when emerging from the buds. It is quite true that This spray may burn the tips of the little leaves if applied at this time. but this burning will not be serious as the inner leaves win come on and soon after it is completed one will not know that any damage has been done. Strong lime sulphur is ordinarily used at the rate of one gallon to eight gallons of water, and if applied at this time it will control much of the aphis.
