SOI TiIEHN' FARM AM) HOME.
Vermin on Hiirknn.
About one-half of niv customers and
correspondents ask : “ AV hat shall 1 do to
get rid of chicken-lice?” 1 have heard
that question so often, and answered it
to many times that I am getting a little
tired of it: but still, for the benefit of
the afflicted fowls and their owners, I
am going over the ground once more.
“ Eternal vigilance ” is the priee of
freedom from lice iu fowl-houses. A
great many }xniltrv-keepers, when they
find their fowl-houses swarming with
lice, go to work and clean them out in
short order and then seem to think that
the work is done for all time; but the
little torments multiply and increase
with astonishing rapidity, and in the
course of two or three months the inex
perienced poultry-keeper is astonished to
to find that his fowls have more lice on
their bodies than are welcome or agree
able.
If you expeet to keep your fowls and
their premises free from chicken lice,
you must “ wage an eternal warfare.”
The ounce of prevention in the shape of
a proper place for the fowls to wallow
in, and an occasional whitewashing, and
washing the perches with coal-oil, is
worth more than several pounds of cure
after the liee once get a foot-hold on
your fowls; but when you do get them,
don’t be discouraged, but go to work
and work faithfully until they are ex
terminated.
The plan that I have given repeated
and thorough trials—and that has never
failed me, is to whitewash the inside of
the houses every spring and fall, and once
or twice during the summer ; to fumigate
occasionally with sulphur; to use coal
oil freely as a wash about the perches and
on the bodies of the fowls; to use sulphur
or tobacco stems in the nests, and to al
ways keep a supply of road-dust and
ashes where tin* fowls can wallow in it at
pleasure. After the dust bath has been
in use a month or six weeks, the contents
are emptied into a barrel and used to
sprinkle on the platform under the roosts,
and the box is refilled with a fresh mix
ture of dust and ashes.
For young chicks, inyfirst care is to
see that they come from the nest free from
lice ; afterwards I annoint the old hen and
chicks every two weeks with a mixture
compounded of live ounces of sweet oil
mixed with one ounce of oil of sassafras,
and applied with a sewing machine oil
can. I found this receipt in some poultry
journal two or three years ago, tried it,
and know it to answer the purpose ad
mirably. Carbolic powder is also an ex
cellent remedy for liee on young chickens,
and to mix with the contents of a dust
box.
When nothing else is at hand for young
chicks, annoint them with lard oil,"sweet
oil, or any kind of grease slightly salted
will be beneficial; but keep coal oil
away from young chicks, setting hens
ami hens with chickens; no oil or grease
of any kind should ever be used about
setting hens, if you expeet the eggs to
hatch—carbolic powder, sulphur, tobacco
stems, or fine cut tobacco are all good to
use in the nests of setting hens. I have
used coal oil on young chicks until I was
convinced that I killed more than I
cured; snd, as for lard and sulphur, you
might as well cut, your chicks’ heads oft
and have done with it.
Now, that insect food is getting scarce,
we must provide our fowls with some
thing in its place if we expect them to
attend to laying duties. Those fortu
nate individuals who live near butchers
can usually get all the meat they need
for the fowls, but less-favored mor
tals are frequently put to their wit’s
end to provide a meal of meat for the
biddies. If you have milk, sweet or
sour, or butter milk, give your fowls a
pan of it every day, and they will need
no meat. At hog-killing time save all
the refuse scraps that usually go to the
cats and dogs, salt them in an old keg,
and you will have plenty of meat for
your fowls. The best way to feed it is
to freshen, boil until tender, chop fine
and mix with soft feed, using the water
that the meat was boiled in for mixing
the mass. A little meat will go a good
ways—too much meat does more harm
than good. A half pintsof chopped meat
is enough for a dozen fowls, and it
should not be fed oftener than twice a
week. It is more work to cook meat for
fowls than it is to throw it to them raw,
in chunks, but the cooked food is the
most economical, and, if you expect to
make poultry pay well, you must study
economy iu everything.—[ Prairie Far

Tail Oat* in the South.
Hon. Thomas B. Jones, of Georgia,
lias the following to say about this crop:
Fall oats must be the chief reliance in
making this crop “meet the next.” If
sown early, they will mature in time to
meet the wants of most farmers next
spring. An abundant supply of rust
proof seed oats should at once be secured,
or assured, and sowing should commence
in September in the northern part of the
State—in October, in the middle and
southern portions. There is perhaps no
crop on which commercial fertilizers will
pay better than on oats. A few acres at
least, may be sown as early as mav lie
deemed prudent, and well fertilized with
an ammoniated pot-ash super-phosphate.
There, are several important advan
tages in favor of oats as the general stock
grain of the south, and it is to be hoped
that Georgia farmers universally—as a
few have done already—will soon adopt
the system of farming which embraces
this feature. These advantages may be
briefly stated as follows: 1. The soil and
climate have been proven to be perfectly
adapted to oats; and with the rust-proof
ojj.ts, now so generally known, rust is no
longer feared. i ‘The chief labor of
growing the crop is included in the sw
ing, which involves little more labor than
would be expended in the bare prepara
tion of the land for, corn. 3. Sow early
in the fall; the crop is rarely injured bv
wjnter freezes, and matures a certain
crop before the winter drouth sets in.
4. Oats are a less heating and more
muscle-producing food than corn, and
threfore better suited for working ani
mals during sirring and summer. It
costs less to produce oats than an equal
food value of corn. These, besides other
advantages, are sufficient to decide the
question in favor of oats as the food crop
for working stock..
Some Facts About Cotton.
In a recent letter .Mr. Edward Atkin
son, of Boston, shows by comparison of
results t he enormotlseconomic superiority
of five labor over slave labor, in the cul
tivation of the cotton. The cotton crop
of 1878 and 1879 was the largest ever
raised. The ten crops of 1852 to 1801,
inclusive, being the last crop ever raised
by slave labor, numbered 34,995,440
bales,. The ten crops of 1870 to 1879,
inclusive,number,being the ten hist crops
raised by free labor, numbered 41,454,743
bales. The excess of the ten years of
free labor amounts to 6,459,303 bales.
The value of the ten last crops, of which
about two-thirds have been exported,
has been not less than $2,500,000,000,
and has probably amounted to $3,000,-
000,000. The increase is progressive, the
excess of the five last crops over the five
crops immediately preceding the war has
been 3,932,415 bales. * * *
The world’s crop of cotton is now equal
from ten to twelve million bales
of the average weight of American cot
ton, probably the latter. Of this quan
tity five million bales are .raised in the
United States, and between six and seven
million bales are spun and woven upon
machinery contained in large factories in
Europe and America. The rest is spun
and woven by hand, and there is proba
bly a larger portion of the population of
the globe still insufficiently clothed in
hand made goods, than are clothed in
those furnished by the factories of Eu
rope and America combined. The aver
age work of one operative working one
year in Lowell will supply the annual
wants of 1,600 fully clothed Chinese or
3,000 partly clothed East Indians. No
country in the world, except Egypt, pro
duces any substantial quantity of cotton
so well adapted to work upon machinery
as that of the southern states. Nearly
one-half the work remains to be con
quered by cotton and commerce. To the
cotton fields and factories of the United
States will not the increase surely come
as commerce slowly hut surely opens the
war ?
The whole cotton crop of the world
could he raised on a section of Texas
less than one-twelfth of its area; or
could be divided between any two of the
other principal cotton states without ex
hausting one-half of their good lands, or
it could be all raised on less than one
half the Indian Territory that is not yet
occupied at all.
Touching the cost of raising cotton in
the south, Mr. Atkinson suggests the
opinion that if the cost of labor be meas
ured by its effectiveness as well as by the
measure of the money with which it is
paid, there is no place in the world where
so effective an amount of manual labor
can be procured at so little cost as in lire
employment of negroes upon our south
ern cotton-fields. The price of 'bacon
and corn guages the cost of cotton.
Eaton togctlnw they are digestible and
nutritious—eaten separately quite other
wise. They constitute the food that the
negro field-hand freely chooses. Three
and one-half pounds of bacon, one peck
of meal, and one quart of molasses or
syrup constitute the week’s rations of an
adult man or woman. This ration has
l>een lately and can now be supplied at a
cost of 38 to 42 cents per week, or six
cents or less per day. The plat of sweet
potatoes and fish from the ponds and
rivers serve for the rest.—Scientific
American.
The Star of Self-Love.
The first thing to aggrandize a man in
his own conceit is, to conceive of himself
as neglected. To undeceive him is to
deprive him of the most tickling morsel
within the range of self-complacency.
Were we to recite one-half this mystery
all the world would be in love witn dis
content; we should wear a slight for j
bracelet, and neglects and contumacies
would be the only matters for courtship.
The first sting of a suspicion is grevi
ous; but wait—out of that wound there
is balm to be extracted. Your friend
passed you on such a day without notice
—he must have seen you. Go home and
make the most of it and you are a
made man from this time. Shut your
self up; conjure all the kinds feelings
you have had for your friend; what you
have been to him, and how bis reputa
tion was nearer £o you than your own!
Stop not here, but enlarge your specula
tions, as a spark kindles more sparks.
Was there one among them who has not
proved hollow and false? The little star
of self-love twinkles; that is to encour
age you through deeper gloom. You
are not yet half sulky enough.
Think the very idea of night fled from
the earth, or your breast the solitary ex
ception of it, till you have swelled your
self into at least one hemisphere* To
grow bigger every moment in your own
concci Ao dgjfy yourself at the expense
of you™peeies; to reflect with what
strange injustice you have been treated
in all quarters—these are the true
pleasures of sulkiness.
Artificial Lumber.
The versatile ingenuity of a Western
inventor, who doubtless foresees the time
in the far-distant future when the forest
shall cease to clothe the hills and dales,
and the demands for lumber shall prove
vastly in excess of the supply, has suc
ceeded in devising a substitute for the
natural product, of virgin or the culti
vated soil. His plan is to use that
fragile vegetable, straw, and by a pecul
iar process to compress it into a sub
stance as hard and indestructible as oak
lumber. It is claimed that this process
converts wheat-straw into timber which
is susceptible of as fine a polish and
finish as mahogany and black walnut, at
a cost not in excess of that of the best
clear pine. The straw is first manufac
tured by the ordinary paper-mill process
into strawboard, and a sufficient number
of sheets of this of the right size are
taken to make the required timber.
They are soaked and softened in a chemi
cal solution, which is, of course, the in
ventor’s secret. After the fiber of the
pasteboard is sufficiently saturated, the
pile of sheets is pressed between a series
of rollers which consolidate them so that
when dry, the whole is a hard stick. It
is claimed that the process renders this
wood substi: ute impervious to water, and
the chemicals used are fvh as to make
it fire-proof. But the sanguine inventor
has only made samples thus far.
Tin the sweetest thing in life to see
the childlike simplicity and deference to
maternal authority which a maiden of
thirty-five or forty will exhibit before a
roomful of people as she skips across the
floor to ask dear mamma if she may
walk up and down the piazza for a little
while.
A Fatal En.gbt<\
[Philadelphia I'imes,;
John Peterson, and old engineer on
the Northern New Jersey rahioad, on
Tuesday ran over and killed a young
lady, Miss Mary K. Fussing, of
Brooklyn, who had been gathering
ferns near the track at Englewood, N.
J., and a few hours after ran over a lit
tle boy at Tyler Park. When the train
reached Jersey City, Peterson wept like
a child, and jumping from the fatal en
gine he said, excitedly: “ You can take
charge of that engine yourselves, for
I’ve had enough of her. ’ lie was so
affected that he went home sick. Miss
Bussing was the daughter of Mr. 11. S.
Bussing, one of the wealthiest citizens
of Brooklyn. She was with two young
ladies at the time of the terrible acci
dent, and got her foot caught between
the rails of a switch. Nearly the whole
train passed over her before it could bo
