Tilson, of West Salem, Wis., 'vho has been conducting a series of poultry institute meetings in Nova Scotia, - "We may build a clry, sunny, warm hen house,feed well-balanced rations, and be kind faithful mas- ters,yet defeat ourselves in poultry culture by allowing everything to pour through the fowls into nasty parasites around and on them. Besides some minor pests there are two great classes of poultry parasites, lice and mites. The latter have no thorax, only a pro- boscis, head and abdomen. They belong to the arachnidae or spider kind, and are nearly all blood suck- ers. Some of the lice, notably the large grey head -louse are blood suckers, but most of them are filth feeders. The blood sucking lice when killed by oil, usually die slowly and roll up themselves and proboscis. Killed more quickly in alcohol, the proboscis may some- times be seen. There are about nine kinds of lice, and four kinds of mites, infecting poultry. The pests vary in size, color and shape, but preventive and remedial meas- ures do not differ so much. While some lice breed in filth, others lay nits or eggs upon the birds. If possible the manure should daily be removed, and the "1 perches scraped. This not only :takes away breeding places for cer- tain parasites but gives fowls a better air, and gets the fertilizer on the land or in a compost before its valuable ammonia has escaped, in the last particular fully realiz- ing what Lord Palmerston said of dirt as only matter in the wrong place. 12 a mellow dust box is provided, or a fresh spot of earth often spad- ed, fowls will clean and exercise themselves rather then exercise their owner. Wood ashes will dis- color plumage and legs a natter of consequence only to exhibitors, With a coarse seive from tho fan- ning mill, I sift any kind of ashes throwing charcoal or clinkers one side, for the biddies to eat ; but rest assured their bath of dust is more patronized when free from chunks, keep it in a sunny place, stir and renew often. A little sul- phur or lime, not enough to cause sore eyes, I frequently add. If fowls are very infested, I haye found I can clean 25 birds in 15 minutes, by a puff box or little bellows of Persian insect powder. I do not get personally acquainted -with each individual parasite, but apply my powder to top of head, under beak, wings and vent. This is clone in the evening when fowls are drowsy, or when I set a hen, and several times during her incu- bating. Sifted coal ashes will answer well. The Persian insect powder is volatile, and should be kept tightly covered when not used and is of no use in nesthoxes, un- less mixed and held with oil. Tansy,wormwood, and elder leaves, cedarsprigs and onion skins are good discouragers in nests. I also often Ilse a sawdust filling.. Mites hide in perches, walls and nest -boxes, hence our measures for destroying therm, must be directed to the house itself. These crea- tures are just visible to the naked eye. They are more ruddy when they have had a good meal, and paler after fasting. A daytime examination frequently discloses them on sick or sitting fowls,' the pests seeming to realize that the latter are not going to shake them off. Mites, when very thick, will be found between nests and walls. There is an important difference between lice and mites. I have done considerable work with .the microscope, and am convinced that hen -lice no not breed on horses and cattle. The latter have their own kinds independently. Hen -lice will run over Horses and cattle, causing great annoyance but do not lay mite on them ;.while mites are cos- lnopolitan. They will bite all alike; even unto thy lean servant and thy maid servant, and the canary or baby within, thy doors. They do not bite the skin but punc- ture for blood. They multi l so ply fast, I have actually known ' two hen hooses to be burned when cleaning was thought hopeless. 13:tt from the siege with them, I know they still be congnered, loot, thin whitewash, (tho lime nearly slaked with hot water), kerosene emulsion. turpentine (singly tis 1I1 combination), brine, hot tar paints and even hot water, have all to 'ny knowledge been successfully used, The main thing is to repeat tho application every day for about •i week, in order to -catch every hatch because the eggs are less suscep- tible to applications than aro the adult Creatures. On our farm, we found it necessary to'leu'n some of the carriers, or eats and dogs; with pbcno-chloro, etc. It will be seen that a necessity to thorough cleaning is moveable fur- niture in the poultry house, or moveable nests and perches. Soap or cracker boxes hung to the wall by stout nails driven part in and tipped up like picture nails, then passing t.hronggh corresponding holes in those boxes, Make nests easily taken clown for cleaning,and also adjustable to any size or height of fowls, since active breeds would better have nests ont of reach of their prying mischief, and large breeds cannot,without injury, jump down from or fly to high nests: Perches must not be teeter - like, but whether they pull out of I tgrooves or from under leather straps, will answer if moveable. Wide perches prevent crooked breast bones and are generally selected by modern heavy fowls given a ehoice. As a pioneer retraces his stops by blazed trees, so, would that could mine by a line of clean hen- houses with moveable furniture. F. W. Hodson, Live Stick Commissioner.

Pre Chases Syrup of Linsood and Turpentine. T.rantford, Dec. 24.—Wesley Watson, aged 25, was shot and instantly killed by his brother, James W'iitson, at the family home near Middleport, Brant County, at El o'clock this morning,. being mistaken for a uurglar who was sup- posed to have entered the house during the course of last night. The scene of the shocking tragedy was on the Kearn farm two and a half miles west of Middleport Village, in the Township of Onondaga. • The farm, • which was rented by bamucl and James Watson, is in rather a lonely part of the township, some distance off the main road. The Watson brothers, who are bachelors, had their mother as house- keeper for them, while the other bro- ther, Wesley 'Watson, was supposed to be in Detruit, where he was employed. Some days ago the mother left to pay a visit to some friends in another part. of the Township, leaving the bachelor brothers to keep house. After dark Monday night the younger brother returned unannounced and un- expectedly from Detroit, and went to the farm house after the elder brothers had retired for the night, Some time after retiring they heard somebody about the premises, and subsequently an entrance was made to the rooms downstairs. The two .brothers, who are cf rather a timid nature, immediately supposed they were the victims of a burglary, and, gathering a few articles of clothing, they made their escape out of a bedroom window and fled to the house of a neighboring farmer, Mr. Dougherty, where they reported that their house had been entered by burg- lars, and begged to be allowed. to remain for the night. Aceuruuodation was pro: vided for them, and they remained un- til after daylight. Shortly before 0 o'eloek they repaired to their own home, armed with a shotgun, and upon Entering the premises downstairs saw that someone had entered the house and lead been making himself at home. 'tVith the gun they proceeded to make an investigation. t'pon going upstairs to one of the bedrooms they found one of the" doors half open, and the form of a man lying in bed. As they reached the door the sleeper raised himself slightly upon his elbow, and one of the thoroughly fright- ened men, imagining in the dusk of the darkened bedroom that this was the burglar of the night before, immediately took aim and fired. The charge, which was of small shot, took effect in the man's head, almost blowing the • side of his face off and killing him instantly. In an instant it became apparent even to their disordered imagination that the supposed burglar was the bro- ther whom they thought to be still in Detroit. The. brothers Samuel and James Wat- son immediately gave the alarm to the neighbors. The unfortunate .young man., however, was beyond the reach of all aid, and must have died instantly. lir.. A. L. Barris of Onondaga, a well-known fanner in .that section, who was called in shortly after the enactment of the tragedy, immediately repaired to the city and gave information of the affair to the police. The County Coroner, Dr. Fissette, left immediately for Middle - port to hold an investigation and make arrangements for an inquest. The relationships between the broth- ers in Middleport and the unfortunate visitor from Detroit are understood to have been of the most affectionate chars actor, and no motive for the commis- sion of the crime has been suggested. • As soon as an information has been sworn out Samuel and Janes Watson will be placed under arrest. Both men are reported to be of a very nervous and timid disposition, and are said by those who know thein best to be incapable of harboring any ill - will against their brother. Their grief, When it dawned upon them that they had deprived their younger brother of his life, was heartrending in the ex- treme. From what can be learned of the situation it seems they have been annoyed by people approaching their premises after dark, and that repeated- ly they had expressed their fears that their premises and the lonely situation of, the home made theist peculiarly lia- ble to interference. fl .RU-WORKI G, ROBBERS, LOOTED A POSTOPPICE AND DE- MOLISHED ED used it Telephone Pole as a Battering. ram—liave Been Operating One Year.

Potatoes—Tire offerings were light, there was a fair demand x1131 prices were firm. Toronto Live Stock. Receipts at the Toronto Cattle Market to- day were light, and it was just as well that they were so, because owing to recent large shipments of Christmas beef and eth- er choice stock dealers here have become somewhat surfeited with supplies. The re- sult 'was that a good many buyers were holding off until the turn of the year, when the export trade will he in a more settled condition and the demand; for beef will again improve. Owing to the fine quality of stock shipped here by drovers for the holiday trade the quality to -day was not quite up to that 'of recent markets, stili, considering the comparatively small re- ceipts, the number of ears received being only half that of friday, the proportion of choice cattle offered to -day was very fair. Nor the cattle offering there was a mod- erately good demand and prices were fairly well maintained for that class of stuff, The total run was 35 ears -330 cattle, 500 sheep and Iambs, 10 calves and 1,190 hogs. Export Cattle—Buyers were apparently holding orf, and the business la this depart- ment of the market is not lovely to improve much until after the first of the year. Some pretty fair cattle sold around 50 per Ib. rancy picked lots would probably bring 25c more per cwt. Butchers' Cattle—The edge was 011 trade to -day, as is usual at this time of the year. Butchers had already received and arranged for full supplies to meet the hollday de- mands. Mixed Lots of butchers' and ex- porters' cattle sold at 4c to Sc per lb for r y good to fine lots. Feeders and Stockers—I3ut few animals of this class were on the market and prices were unchanged. A number sold at $3 to 53.80 per cwt. Sheep and iambs—Prices were steady and unchanged. The receipts were light, but of fairly good quallt;.. Calves—A fen were sold at fairly good nrdees and more would have been taken had they been offered. Hogs—The run was very light, the de- mand being equally weal:. Those offered were, however, sold readily enough, prices being steady and without change. East Buffalo Cattle Market.
