USE OF KEROSENE IN
THE POULTRY HOUSE

Cleanliness and the periodical use OF
good disinfectant are the strongest
bulwarks against disease and vermin,
and they should be given a eonspicu-
Gus place in the routine of every well
regulated poultry farm. writes II. A.
Roberts in the Philadelphia Ledger.
For the destruction of mites which
hide and breed In the cracks and crew
ices OF poultry houses kerosene Is val
liable Even so. its superiority over
other Insecticides lies in its flowing
and penetrating qualities. Being
thin oil. IL will reach the most remote
cracks better than heavier liquid.
At the same time. owing to this OK
tremely volatile. penetrating character
isfic, the action or effectiveness of kerr
osenc Is OF short duration. Because
it is easily evaporated. II is short lived.
Consequently numerous applications
are required. Furthermore. it should
he remembered that the odor or fumes
of Kerosene are not sufficient 10 de-
stroy parasites. Mites and their larvae
must come in actual contact with the
oil.
For that reason painting the perchcs
with brush is a more effective meth
cd than spraying. And good plan
is 10 add n couple Of ounces of crude
carbollc acid to each quart OF kerosene.
4 kerosene emulsion may be made
as follows: Shave half pound of COM
mon soap into two quarts Of water and
boil the mixture until the soap Is thor.
oughly dissolved. remove it safe dis
tanee from the IRE and. while II Is
still hot. stir In two gallons OF kero-
sene This will make thick. creamy
emulsion or stock mixture. When it Is
to be used for spraying mix one part

HER HUSBANDS CLOSET.
And What the Grateful Wife Said and

There was once a husband who
dreamed of having a closet all his own.
He dreamed of place where he could
go at night and find things just the
same as they were in the morning. He
dreamed of place in which lie did not
occupy with his timid little two suits
a remote hook, while all the rest OF the
circumambient space was filled with
we'll, what every husband knows. He
dreamed. and he said, Il will take adj
vantage of my wife's absence and hire
a carpenter and a locksnith and fix
that closet up TO suit myself and put
on Il an impregnable lock and key, and
then I shall laugh softly and say. AT
last the great day has come! :"
And he did it.
And when that night his wife came
home and saw the work that he had
done, she said
Where is that keyy'
And the husband, trembling for he
was no Bluebeard- produced it forth

space within she fell on his neck and
said:

for two months. These horses con-
sumed twenty-onc pounds of coarsely
ground corn and fourteen pounds OF
alfalfa hay daily. While this is ex-

high flesh. and II Is doubtful IL any
