The presence of parasites is one of the primary ( auses of unprofitable- ness and disease in a flock of poultrr, says the Poultry Division. Ottawa. The {owls are rarely examined. and the reason of their poor condition is not discovered or even considered. There it will pay every pJultryman to exam‘na his birds carefully before they go into winter quarters. as their health and comfort during the next six momhs depend largely upon their freedom from vermin. Th re are three distinct groups of parasites preying upon the domestic fowl. fleas, lice and mites. GROUPS or PARASITES. Only the species of flea, the bird flea lives up on the fowl. This flee is provided with a sharp piercing mouth; it at- tacks the fowl at night and through causing constant irritation and loss of blood does much harm. PREVENTION AND EXTERMINATION. If the poultry is old and contains many crevices. all the nests, roosts and fixtures should be removed from it. and the walls and ceiling cow-red with heavy building paper and lime- wash. 'The latter should be applied hot and fairly liquid, so as to enter every crevice in the building. [ts quality will be improved by adding to every gallon of the wash one- quarter pound of soft soap previously dissolved in boiling water; also a small quantity of salt. The material taken from the house should be burn- ed. and new roosting quarters and inside fittings put in. These fittings should be simple in construction and easily removeable so that the vermin can ls destroyed. The most injurious of the mites is the red fowl mite. This is yollowisb- white to dark red in color. according to the quantity of blood it contains The blood is drawn from the fowls at night, and during the day the mite hides in the cracks and crevices of the house. When the chickens appear in poor health they should he examined at nig ht. and if mites are found treatment should be resorted to The month of the louse difiers from ’ the mouth of the flea in that it is now sharp and used for piercing. but sim- ply for biting. Lice bit sharply and cause considerable pain. ' Before the fowls return to the house they should be thoroughly dusted with insect powder or sulphur. By dusting each fowl over a box or paper, the powder can be|well rubbed among the quills of the feathers. and the excess will not be wasted. The coal tar treatment for the distruction of the gape worn can be efiectively used to rid fowls of vermin. The fowls are placed in a barrel. A papa: should be placed to catch the vermiu. when they fall, so that they may be. destroyed. The poultry house requires clean- ing and iimewashing twice a year. The roosts should be removed and treated with ctal tar or kerosene every week, and the nests frequently cleansed and new straw placed in them It is necessary to regularly exa- mine young chickens for head lice ll present, the lice will be found in the down or feathers on the Chick’s head. It not destroyed. they will so weaken the chick that it will die from loss of blood. The lice can be removed by smearing the chick’s~ 11- ad with grease or sweet oil to which a few drops of carbolic acid have been added. SCALY LEGS. This disease is quite prevalent in flocks of neglected poul- try, and is due to a species of mite. The scales of the legs and feet he come raised and separated. and n chalk~iike excretion accumulates im- tween and over them; rouigh lumpy crusts are formed. and under these the mites live and breed. The diseased legs and feet of th» chickens should be well washed with a small stifi brush. warm Water and soap. The crusts should then be re moved and a mixture of equal parts of sulphur and lard rubbed into the aflected parts, After three or four days the legs of the chickens that were treated should be cleansed a it h soap and warn water.

Inmycountryof Alsace,onthesoli- tsry route whose interminable ribbon stretches on and on under the forests of the Vosges. there is a stone breaker whom I have seen at his work for thirâ€" ty years. The first time I came upon him I was a young student setting out with swelling heart for the great city. The sight of this man did me good, for he was humming a song as he broke his stones. We exchanged a few words. and he said at the end, “Well, goodby, my boy, good courage and good luck!” Since then I have passed and repassed along the same route under circumstances the most diverse, painful and Joyful. The student has finished his course; the breaker of stones remains what he was. He has taken a few more precautions against the seasons’ stormsâ€"a rush mat pro- tects his back, and his felt hat is drawn further down to shield his face. But the forest is always sending back the echo of his valiant hammer. How many sudden tempests have broken over his bent back, how much adverse fate has fallen on his head, on his house, on his country! He continues to break his stones, and coming and going I find him by the roadside smil- ing in spite of his age and his wrin- kles, benevolent, speakingâ€"above all in dark daysâ€"those simple words of brave men which have so much effect when they are scanned to the breaking of stonesâ€"From “The Simple Life,” by Charles Wagner. How She Got Her Will Drafted and! Fooled Her Lawyer. A certain lawyer, famed for high charges, had incurred the enmity of an old lady on account of the same. Wishing to get even with him, she con- sulted him about drafting her will. As she was a very wealthy old lady, with- out near relatives, she had many chari- table associations to benefit, and the accurate draft or the will required much patience, skill and time. Among the provisions she made a generous bequest to this lawyer and nominated him executor. After the execution of the will she called for her bill, where- upon the lawyer, with the vision of ample fees in the prospective settle- ment or the estate and the memory of the generous bequest, told the old lady that under the circumstances he should charge nothing, but finally, to satisfy her business scruples, made out a re- ceipt in full to date for $1, whereas the smallest sum he could have properly charged would have been $100. The old lady marched home with her will, set herself to work, copied it out carefully word for word, leaving out the bequest to the lawyer and nominat- ing a new executor. In the course of time she died, and the disgust of the lawyer at the con- tents of the will was so great that he inadvertently let out the secret, to the huge delight of his brother lawyers.â€" Leslie’s Monthly. The Sacred Twelve. The “patriarchal and apostolical number of twelve” as the proper and only admissible number for a jury try- ing cases according to the common law has come down to us from remote an- tiquity. Yet this number was not al- ways universal. In 1652 a Cornish cus- tom to have juries of six was declared to be bad. but evidence was given that such juries had been widely used in the county, and by a special statute of Henry VIII. juries of six were allowed in Wales. But the jury of the grand assize consisted of sixteen men, which still finds a parallel in the jury of pre- sentments of the Liberty of the Savoy. The modern grand jury. the coroner’s jury and the jury at lunacy and eccle- siastical inquisitions number anything between twelve and twenty-three, whereof twelve at least must agree on a verdict.â€"-London Law Journal. Gordon’s Sudan Throne. Gordon’s Sudan throne is a folding chair he always sat in at Khartum and carried with him on his camel jour- neys. It was a little straight backed chair. having a skeleton frame of round iron, a carpet back and seat. gilt knobs for ornament, and small pads on the arms for comfort. The carpet had grown dim in the African sun, which deprived it of all royal pretensions, so that when Gordon returned from his governorship of the Sudan and sudden- ly asked, "Where is my throne? Has it been brought in ?" they were all sur- prised. His throne! Nobody had seen a throne. But at length the camp stool was found where it had been stowed away. Dnmas’ Bottled Joke. Not every one has so successful a method with the autograph fiend as Alexander Dumas had. Prince Metter- nich once requested an autograph of him. Dumas wrote in his best round hand, “Received from Prince Metter- nich twenty-five bottles of his oldest J ohannisberg." Metternich sent the wine with a good grace. Rnle For Cyclists. One of the rules of a bicycle club reads, “A horse should never be passed on both sides at once." We suspect that when a cyclist attempts to pan on both sides of a horse “at once" he is expelled from the club. He would certainly be dismissed from a tem- perance organization. â€" London Tit- THE STONE BREAKER. A SHREWD OLD LADY. hMDiya. . box. 256. II?
