Year Of Christ's Birth.

History tells us that for 500 years
the Christians had no calendar of their
own, but reckoned the years according
to the customs of the nations to which
they belonged. The Roman Christians
used the Anna Urbis Conditiae" or
year of the founding of Rome, to count
from; others counted from the reign
Of DiocIetian, calling 1t 1.-THE Era of the
Martyrs ;" and stAl others used the
calendar of the Copts of Egypt. In the
sixth century, Denis the Little, n Greek
monk living in Rome, made a calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date OF which he fixed at 1853 A. U. G.
so we commonly say that Rome was
founded in 753 r. c. At the beginning
of the eighth century, the venerable
Besle pointed out that this was an his
torical bfunder. But no general no.
tice was taken of his criticism, and the
error has continued to this day. His
toric facts have enabled modern schol-
ars to determine, without much pos
sibflity of doubt, the exact year of the
birth Of Jesus. and to place it ut what
we call p. G.

BACK YARD
POULTRY KEEPING

If the best results are to be expect
ed from the flock, the hens must not
be allowed to become overrun with
lice or the house with mites. Usually
there will be a place In the yard
where the hens can dust themselves in
the dry dirt. If such place is not
available, box large enough (abOut
two feet square) for the hens to get
into it should be provided in the house
and quantity of dust such as ordi-
nary road dust or fine dirt placed in
it to allow the hens a place to dust
themselves. A dust bath aids the
hens in keeping lice in check and
therefore adds to their comfort. Usu-
ally the lice are not present on the
birds in sufficient number to prove par
ticularly harmful. However, it is bet
ter to keep the hens as free as posi-
BILE from this pest, and If they are
not able to keep them In check by
busting themselves. other measures
can be undertaken.
To rid the hens Of lice, each one can
be treated by placing small pinches of
sodium fluorid, material which can
be obtained at most large drug stores,
among the feathers next to the skin
one pinch on the head, one on the
neck, two on the back, one on the
breast one below the vent, one at the
base of the tail, one on either thigh,
and one scattered on the underside Of
each wing when spread. Another
method is to use small quantity Of
blue ointment, a piece about as large
as a pea on the skin one inch below
the vent. If mercurial ointment Is
used instead of blue ointment, it
should be diluted with an equal guam
DDS will be found very effective in rid
ding the hens Of lice and should be
employed whenever the lice become
troublesome. Two or three applica-
tons year usually prove sufficient.
:, Mites are more troublesome and
more harmful than lice. They do not
live upon the birds like the lice, but
during the day hide in the cracks and

vester, according to the Denver Field
and Farm. The original machine,
which has since revolutionized farm
ing operations, was built on his farm
in 1867. and he operated 1t there for
several seasons. California has claim

not so primitive as one might imag-
