On liens and • chieltens there are
found. seven species of lice, on duelta,
g-eese and turkeys, three.
These lice stay on the fowls prac-
ti,cally all the time. Therefore, the
only effective treatments are those
which are applied directly to the fowl:
At present the most economical and
the most effective remedy is sodium
VoUride, a white powder which can be
perdhased atanydrug store. A little
of this powder held between the thumb
and forefinger and dusted -among the
feathers next to the skin on the head,

Mites are those insects which infest
poultry only at night, and hide in the
crevices of the roosts and nests dur-
ing the day.' They can best be con-
trolled by keeping the poultry houses
and -roosts elean, and by spraying the
.rousts - arid nests thoroughly -with
erode oil, kerosene, or some heavy
coal tar preparation.
. Whenever there is a variation in
the butter -tat tests, the tester is uau-
ally to blame. There are, however, a
timber of .other things which will
cause a variation in the test. One of
them is the Babcock test itself, which
will sometimes give o readings that
vary one-fifth of one per cent , on
the same 52)123130 0! milk tested and
duplicated at the sante time.
The fat pereentage will also change
when the milker fails to milk out the
strippings, the rie-het part of the
milk. Dogs chasing the cows, or the
milker using' the milk stool on hip
cows, c'11 permitting loud talking in
the stable at milking time will also
cause variations in the fat list.
Cows in heat, those that hold up
peel of theb- milk-, and others that are
underfed or slack in theif water sup-
ply will show a variation from their
noenhal test,

Handy Stoneboat.
The following gives detail's for, the
construction of a handy boat which
will save much work in removing
large stoned front fields.
Bill of materiale-Two hardwood
planks two inches by- twelve inches
by six feet; one hardwood plank two
inches by six inches by twenty-eight
inches; two three-quarter ineh by five -
inch bolts with' -washers.
This stone boat is very handy in
moving stone which are one to three
feet in diameter. The best asset' of
the machine is that it requires no labor
'or "back work" in loading or unload-
ing. It costs practically nothing and
can be made from Materiala on every
farm.'
It is made by -rounding off an end
of each plank and boring a two-inch
hole in 11110 end for the chain to
which the team -can be attached. The
planks are placed side by side four
inches apart. • The inside edges are

How Little Boy Rose to Musical
Fame.
'Way back about the ,year, 1770 10
country blacksmith in a :little place
near Exeter, England, began to miss
horseshoes, which were myster-
busly disappearing one or two at Et!
time. ICceping, watch, he at last olds-
zovered the guilt culprit to 'be a
harmless little boy about six years
old. Following him borne, his parents.
were duly informed and the boy was
commanded to tell what he had done
with the stolen horseshoes. Leading'
the way to an upper room'he showed
them. • From the twenty or thirty he
had taken he had selected eight and
hung them up by strings, 411C1 these
when struck rightly by a piece, ofiron,
gave out the notes of the musical scale
-the largest one gave" -the dee.pest
tone, the smalleseene the highest. On
this crude instrument the boy had -
taught himself to play tunes.
The .,rninister Rev, Mr. Eastcott;
was appealed to in the matter. No
doubt he gave the little chap serious
admonition on the ,sin. -of stealing, but
after :that he had the 'good sense to
advise the boy's 'parents to give him
a musical education, and se they ap-
prenticed him to an organist in Exeter
named, Jackson, the same Jackson, by
the way, 'who colnposed the "Te Deum
in F," -which has long been a favorite
with many church choirs. When the
boy had grown older and his appren-
ticeshipwas finished he went to Lon-
don, where he wrote a great deal of
11112515 for the theatre, that ds, inci-
dental music for various plays new
and old. He also wrote a great many
songs which were very popular in
their day. One of them, "The Bay of
Biscay," is not yet quite 'forgotten.
The boy's name was John Davy.
