FORKFULS OF FACTS. 
Virginia Hens. —I have 83 hens, B. 
Leffhorn grades, and sold 99 dozen eggs 
from .January 1 to February 28, besides 
what were used in a family of seven per¬ 
sons. I also have a four-year-old sow 
that is the mother of 88 pigs. I have 
sold 54 for $130 25. My hens received no 
cut bone or anything of the kind, hut 
have free range and plenty of grain. 
Falls Church, Va. b. b. s. 
A Hen Record. —I am feeding 150 B. 
IjCghorn fowls for their morning ration, 
one pint of animal meal with as much 
Buffalo gluten and wheat bran as I can 
mix with skim-milk in a tobacco pail. 
At noon, four quarts of good wheat—at 
night, more corn than they will eat, in 
pans which I take away after they go to 
roost. Ground oyster shells and fresh 
water are kept by them with free range 
in good weather. My hens usually lay 
about 115 eggs per hen and raise enough 
chickens to keep my number good. How 
should I change my feed for better re¬ 
sults ? M. D. c.

Breast Collars for Work Horses.— 
Some one asked about the advisability 
of using heavy breast collars for work 
horses. I give my experience. We 
have a set, and have used them more or 
less since I can remember. Some horses 
can do heavy work in them, but not 
many. They seem to have a tendency to 
choke a well-built horse when pulling 
hard. They are very handy to have in 
case of a sore neck, either top or shoulder, 
and ours are away from home most of 
the time (both away now), doing mis¬ 
sionary work. They are handy in the 
winter when there is not much pulling 
to be done, because light and quick to 
put on, there being only two buckles on 
each harness to buckle. Ours cost, years 
ago. $7 made to order. j. r. w.

HOW TO KU.L HEN LICE. 
In reply to the query by E. L. G., page 
111 : To spray the fowls with kerosene 
emulsion would almost surely result in 
roup, with consequent loss. A better 
and more effective way to rid them of 
lice is to make an ointment of one-half 
cupful of lard, one tablespoonful of kero¬ 
sene, and one teaspoonful of pure car¬ 
bolic acid ; melt the lard and thoroughly 
mix the kerosene and acid with it. A 
small quantity of this mixture rubbed 
under each wing and around the vent 
will be death to the lice. However, to 
make the work thorough, the poultry- 
house must be entirely freed from lice, 
and kept so. Three years ago, through 
receiving a lot of chicks from a neighbor, 
I thoroughly “seeded ” a 40-foot brood¬ 
ing house with the “red mites,” and they 
gained a strong foothold before being 
discovered. The first thing I did was to' 
place the chicks in other quarters; then 
the house was closed and the inside thor¬ 
oughly sprayed with kerosene emulsion, 
as hot as could be made. The building 
remained closed for several hours, and 
was then treated to a thorough smoking 
and fumigation with tobacco and sul¬ 
phur. The next day it was whitewashed, 
the whitewash containing a good dose of 
carbolic acid. When the building became 
thoroughly dry, the chicks, after treat¬ 
ment with the above ointment, were

persistent Cough, the general strength wasted, and 
an Incurable complaint often established thereby.

again put into it, and I haven’t seen a 
louse in it from that day to this. 
I have two henhouses, one 40 and the 
other 50 feet long; both are free from 
lice and my fowls are free from disease. 
To accomplish this, I keep the buildings 
clean and dry ; every morning the drop¬ 
pings are cleaned up with a pail and 
shovel and put carefully away for ferti¬ 
lizer. The roosts are four inches above a 
dropping board 18 inches wide and two 
feet from the floor, which makes the 
work easy. The floor is of dry earth, 
and sand which is loose and makes a 
splendid absorbent for droppings and a 
good scratching place in winter. This 
earth is renewed once a year. The win¬ 
dows are hot-bed sash, and are hinged ; 
they are open every sunny day, which is 
all the ventilation my houses get. J 
have 80 fowls, and use a $1(5 Mann bone 
mill, feeding the hone twice a week raw, 
which I find most satisfactory. I would 
have a bone mill if I had but 50 fowls ; 
the work is hard, but pays every time.
