. Avoiding lien lace.
Those parasites breed and multiply
hi tlic tilth and dirt in and about hen
quarters. The manure, should not be
allowed to accumulate under the roosts
and on the floors of houses. It should
be deodorized with dry earth or sifted
coal ashes, or plaster or other absorbent
and removed at least once a week, and
deposited where fowlscannot gain access
to it. This when properly attended to
will be found to render t'ue task of
keeping down the lice much easier.—
The quarters include g roosts, nest walls
floors and utensils of every kind, should
be thoroughly whitewashed —say in
vptil, July, September and November,
i he wash should have some sulphur or
koroscue incorporated with it, and if it
be put on hot it will be all the better.
Lt should be applied to every crack and
cruuny, no point being missed. The
roost poles should be removed, and all
the bearings or points of contact should
be especially treated, for it is in these
places that the “mites” are most at
home. After a thorough application of
the lime wash, the roosts should be well
smeared . ith a mixture of lard and
kerosene The hen’s natural resort to
lid herself of lice is the dust bath.—
Where fowls are not at liberty to seek
a suitable bath, it should alwayt he fur
nished them in a sunny part of their
house. It may consist of chip dirt, dry
earth sifted coal ashcs.wood ashes, or a
mixture of all of them together, with a
little sulphur or Persian powder mixed
with it. Even where fowls have their
liberty it will he found bcneficail to give
them a dusting place to which (hoy
will bj sure to resort. It will never be
necessary to catch and apply oil of any
kind to fowls to destroy lice, if the fore
going suggestions arc put into practice.
But where, from neglect or carelessness
the poultry are infested, in may be ad
visable—in order to destroy as soon as
possible all traces of vermin—to apply
some unguent or poison to the bodies of
the fowls. For the purpose we would
vise a mixture of lard and coal oil,heat
ed together until thoroughly mixed as
the cheapest and most convenient ar'i
elo to uso. If thought best a little sul
phur may be mixed into the compound
To apply it catch the fowls at night
and with the finger smear a littleon the
head and under the lower mandible:
then put a small quantity under each
wing, and rub it in so that it will roach
the skin; repeat the same operation
between the body and thighs aud about
'ho root of the tail. One operation if
thoroughly performed, will
be sufficient. The complaint that poul
try keeping is unprofitable generally
c./tncs from the parties who neglect the
small details of the business which arc
so important in the comfort and profita
bleness of ihe flock. If the foregoing
directions arc put into praclico there
will be little to apprehend on the score
of He .'.—Practical Farmer.

fultivatiou in Season*
The folliwing cannot be too strongly
enforced :
“With a press of work often the cub
ovation of hoed crops is put off until
the weeds have overshadow the crop.
This is a mistake. Every weed not
destroyed is sapping the giound of the
nutriment that is just in the best con
dition for the growing plant but if the
weed is destroyed as it comes out of
the ground it has ag yet only taken its
nutrition from its own seed. Again, a
single motion when weeds are tiny, will
destroy hundreds, where, if allowed to
remain some timo longer, each individ
ual specimen will require the same efr
ibrt. Here is where tho stroke in time
saves ninety-nine or more. This is most
emphatically true in the growth of on
ions, and other crops closely sown which
require hand work entirely. In case
of potatoes the plan of harrowing after
planting and before they aro far advan
ced is growing in favor. This allows
tho crop to havo a good start of the
weeds, and tho potatoes are not in the
least injured by tho harrow.” — Detroit

Wliy i>o Young Men I.cave the
Farm,
Wo have answers without number,
complaints without end, warning innu
merable not to do so, but still the exo
dus goes on. The abstract argument is
lar !y on tho side of the deprccators.—
Country life though by no means what
it might be, is more wholesome, phyr.C
cally than that of towns. Farm life
however dull and dreary its drudgery
generally is mere independent than
any commercial, or than most mechani
fiul jvurcmld
What must we do ? If we would to
tain our young men in the simpler more
healthful and'better life of the country,
we must not only make our farm houses
more pleasant and attractive, as many
have already insisted, but we must place
our calling on a paying basis. We must
educate ourselves. Wc must know more
than how to read, write and cipher.—
We ufust know our relations to the world
as the great great producers pud cousu
iners, aud understand the cost of the pro
ducts of those with whom we exchange.

WiriilN fifteen years Turkey has been
brought, by means of continuous borrow

millions of Turkish pounds, bearing an
uverago interest of nine per cent, per an

per annum, and this income is every

Buttermilk For Poultry.—Ma
ny breeders recommend buttermilk as a
drink for poultry. It if. said to be an

know that poultry aro exceedingly fond
of it and drink it with avidity. We

give it a trial.

THE NEW FAMILY
SIGNER
Sewinci Machine.
WITH ATTACHMENTS
For All Kinds of Work,
is fast winning favor in the household, as
shown hy the rapidly increasing sales.
This New Family Machine is capa
ble of a range and variety of work such a
was once thought impossible to perform by
machinery, We claim and can show that
it is the clicapect, most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. It k remarkable, not.
only for the range and variety of its sew
ing, but also for the variety and different
kinds of texture widen it will sew with
equal facility and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse,
making the inter-elastic lock stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus,
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uniformity of stitch ,
and,i n a moment, this willing-and never
wearying instrument may be adjusted for
fine work On gauze or gossamer tissue, or
motuckingi of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al
most any other work which delicate fingers
have been known to perform.
Ours having long been the popular and
practical machines for manufacturing pur
poses, some dealers, using *• the tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this in trying to
persuade purchasers that our Family Ma
chine is not equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers—and they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing—
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our new family machine embod
ies new and essential principles—simplicity
of construction ; ease of operation ; uni
formity of precise action at any speed ; ca
pacity fornngc and variety of work, line
or coarse —leaving all rivals behind it.
Machine Sales of 1874.
Tho table of sewing machine sales for
1871 show that our sales for that year
amounted to 211,097 machines, being a
targe increase over the sales of the previ
ous year. The fable shows that our sales
exceed those of any other company for the
period named, hy the number of 148,852
machines, nearly
Three Times Those of any other Com
pany.
ft may be further stated that the sales of
1873, as compared with the sale, of i872,
show a relatively large increase beyond
the sales of other makers. For instance,
in 1872 wo sold 45,000 more machines than
any other company ; whereas, in 1873, the

OFFICIAL REPORT.
The following is a correct report of the
Sales of sewing machines made by the lead
ing companies (luring the past four years.
A careful examination of the figures will
show that the “SINGEii” have largely in
creased each year, while, on the contrary, a
corresponding decrease is shown in the sales
reported by all other companies. This is a
highly satisfactory result to us, and is only
another proof that “merit always has its re
ward.”
