II Not kept Clean tile q Menace to
the Health Of the Family.
One Of the most important articles Of
household equipment is the unassum-
ing and. it is to be feared, often neg
lected icebox.
There is no greater menace to the
health of the family than refrigera-
tor which does not refrigerate or one
which it is impossible to keep in a per-
feet sanitary condition.
The least important thing about a re-
frigerator is its outside appearance.
While the expensive porcelain and
enamel ones are pleasant to own, q
less expensive hardwood one with a
smooth. plain surface is just as salts
factory and easy to clean.
Goodness, cleanliness and convenience
are the three "c's" that are absolutely
essential to the construction Of a re-
frigerator.
Always wash the ice before putting
1t into its compartment. otherwise the
straws and dust may clog up the drain
pipe.
The floors and shelves Of the refrig-
orator should he washed every day
with a solution Of soda. and at least
once a week the refrigerator should be
thoroughly cleaned.
Use a solution of soda and water to
clean out the drain pipe and pan. Then
scald them out thoroughly with boil
ing water.-New York Telegram.

Deep Flowing Improbable.

! Because blowing to depth of seven
and one-half inches has returned about
the same yields and is much cheaper
the Ohio experiment station does not
recommend the use Of deep tilling or a
subsoil plow. The expensive operation
of blowing fifteen inches deep with a
deep filling pillow has returned less than
q bushel Of corn and subsoiling only
two bushels more than ordinary plow-
ing as an average for six years. Oats
following corn has returned three and
a quarter bushels more on land plowed
to ordinary depth than to fifteen inches,
and bushel and half more than on
land where a subsoil pillow was used.
The ground for oats has been disked in
each case.

Fer.a. For Pork and Mutton.

Forage crops will materially reduce
the cost Of producing pork and NUT
ton. Do not attempt to grow young
hogs on forage crops alone. Supple
ment the forage with some grain.
Brood sows can be kept on forage
crops after the pigs have been weaned.
Make as many pounds Of gain as pos
sible from the use Of forage crops.
They viii reduce the cost OF such gain.

Rape For Sheep and Hea..

Dwarf Essex rape is probably the
premier forage crop for both sheep and
swine. Successive crops can be planted
and 1t will do well during any peri
Cd Of the summer. For early June
pasture mixture Of one bushel of oats
and five pounds Of rape per acre is
recommended by the Pennsylvania
State college. Two or three weeks
later a field may be seeded to rape
alone at the rate of Eve to eight pounds
per acre.

the United States, the shorter breeding
season there usually makes it. of less
importance than I'm the south, where
breeding continues throughout the year
with little or no interruption.
Two species of itch mite attack
fowls. One Of these is the cause Of
scaly leg. While this mite commonly
remains on the feet, burr0wfng through
Inc scales and causing their enlarge
ment, It also attacks the comb and the
neck. When this infestation is left un-
treated the feet often become badly
distorted. and In some cases the fowl
can scarcely walk. Sometimes termi-
nal joints Of the toes are lost. AS this
mite is transferred from one bird to
another, fowls with scaly leg should be
treated promptly by applying crude
petroleum to the legs with brush or
dipping the affected part OF the legs
into this oil.
The other itch mite, commonly called
the deplumfng mite, is very small
creature. which burrows into the skin
near the base of the feathers. The in

fowls to pull their feathers until they
are almost naked. Repeated applica-
lions of sulphur ointment should de-
stroy this mite.
There are two other species-small,
soft bodied mites. One Of these bores
into the skin; the other, which has
been found in several places in this
country, occurs in the air passages,
lungs. liver and other internal organs
of chickens had turkeys. Serious in
jury probably is not caused by these
mites, except that when they are pres
ent in large numbers breathing may be
hindered. Still another small species
sometimes feeds on the feathers of
fowls. but causes no other apparent in
jury. One species of mite recently has
been found in great numbers along the
grooves on the under side Of the shaft
of the wing feathers of turkeys in Tex
as and Louisiana. Associated with
this, but apparently in very small num-
bers. was a sixth species of mite, but
neither caused any apparent injury to
the host. Other kinds are found oc-
casionally on various birds as well as
domestic fowls. but are of little or no
Importance as parasites.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
WIN. PEARSON, WYALUSING SEC
TION HAND, FOUND DEAD FROM
GUNSHOT WOUNDS, TUESDAY,

Sheriff Hymer and Undersheriff Dy-
er were called to Wyalusing last We'd
nesday to investigate very rnysteri-
Gus death. 80:
1t seems that VIM. Pearson, a Sec
ton hand, aged about 45 years, was
found dead in his back yard between.
and o'clock last Tuesday evening
According to his wife's story Pear!
son left the house after supper with
a shotgun saying he was going after
a couple Of rabbits for his LUNCH, pail.
About the time stated she heard shot
and, going outside, found the body Of
her husband lying in a path. The dis
charged gun was in his arms The
shot were we'll scattered over the left
breast and the neck, the jumper coat
and sheep-lined vest being riddled
There was no large hole such as
would occur in suicide, or any shot
from close range . .,5.
A $35 pay check and some change
was found in the dead mans pocket,
precIuding robbery as the motive.
Dr. Mecum, Of Bagley, was called
on the case during evening and ev-
amined the body.
Mrs. Pearson, who was formerly
Kate Schaeffer Of Lancaster, thought
that her husband had killed himself,
or SO it was stated
There are five children, four girls
and boy, the eldest being IL years
Three are by Mrs. Pearson's first hus-
man. The vicinity around Wyalusing
and Bagley is agog with the matter and
while nothing direct is known about
il, the case is likely to be looked into
further. Pearson was buried Friday.
