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 mer. 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.
