on Lambs Eto.
Take down those ladder-shaped roosts,
which have caused the death of so many
hens, and try for one year the plan of
having them all on a level and about
twenty inches apart, with a flooring
about eight inches below to catch the
dresriing. Make these roots out 2x2,
with the corners shaved oil", and arrange
them to drop into sockets at each end,
ho they can easily bo removed and fre
quently washed to kill insects and
vermin.
Suffolk Itrei-U of Unci).
The Sull'olk breed is of English origin
and especially adapted to the moist and
often sunless British climate. It has
very little hair, and is poorly adapted to
withstand exposure to our hot, burning
sun in summer or severe American win
ters. This has ruled the Suffolk out in
many States, where the coarse-haired
breeds are found more hardy and profit
able. Treatment of T.arltifr lien.
The common mistake of beginner
with poultry is overfeeding, and with
many careless and irregular feeding.
lMenty of water and plenty of exercise
are at least as important as abundance
of food. It is a significant f.tct that all
the best breeds of laying hens are most
active, and the only way to keep the
Asiatic breeds to laying in warm weather
is to reduce their rations and make the
heiiH scratch for their living. Even then
they will 1ms apt to become too fat il
given much grain.
Hotter Quality of liny.
Dry weather during April and May
has lessened the amount of the h iy crop,
but it does not follow that it will de
crease its value in the same proportion.
' Hay is not likely to Ik1 as cheap again as
it has been t e past two years. Itsqual
ity also will be better. It whs the poor
quality of last year's hay crop as much
as the" scarcity and high' price of grain
that made cows unusually poor every
where last sprintr. We hope yet in most
places for a good crop of coar-e grains,
but stock will do a well next winter on
hay alone as they did the past two years
in "most localities on flooded and water
eoaked hay with grain added.
Klllincr Tleki on l.iiiulii.
As soon as sheep-shearing is done, the
ticks, which have found refuge in the
Jong wool of older sheep, will desert
them and take to the unshorn lambs,
whose wool then affords a better hiding
place. These ticks are easily killed by
clipping lambs up to their ears in a strong
solution of tobacco. Refuse stems oan
be used, aid can usually be had for a
little or nothing in tobacco-growing lo
calities. The wash, after lambs have
been dipped in it, is excellent to apply
to melon or cucumber vines to repel the
bugs. It may not kill ttiein, but it will
drive them away, which answers every
purpose. It has also excellent manurial
properties, but we prefer to use it in
small quantities merely to repel insects.
Oood Work Profitable.
A correspondent, writing on the sub
ject of milk adulteration, says:
Thro is no product from the farm
which is so apt to carry disease into the
city as milk, and it is necessary to take
every precaution by city authorities to
prevent the spreading of disease germs
m this way. Dairymen cannot be too
careful in finmlling their milk, and the
more progressive ones realize this fact,
so that the utmost care is given to this
product during hot weather. City con
sumers who are sure of getting clean,
sweet, wholesome milk direct from the
dairy farms are willing to pay extra
prices lor it during the summer, it pays
to make a reputation for your farm of
sending nothing hut the very best milk
to market, untainted and undiluted.
To accomplish this much attention
must be pain to the condition of nans,
pails and other implements for holding
milk, all of which must be kept scrupu
lously clean. The temperature of the
inilk'niust also be kept uniform.
One great fault with farmers and dai
rymen is to permit their cows togtazein
fields Ixmlering upon low, marshv,
swampy places, alongthe edges of muddy
creeks." Wherever cows are allowed to
get in such places the milk cannot be of
the first order. The milk becomes taint
ed and its flavor ruined. Too much care
in keening all noxious weeds and grasses
from the cows cannot be given to the an
imals, and it is one of the essentials of
good milk producing.
Anotner irequeni cause oi tainted mine
is that of the animal's skin, which be
comes diseased and poisoned through
neglect and fllthiness. The skin of the
animal is the most important eecretory
organ of the whole system, and it is
through this that a great deal of the
waste matter is carried off during hot
weather. If this is closed up with dirt
jnd impure matter, the waste material
must be thrown back into the blood and
lodged finally in the lungs, where efforts
are made by these organs to unload it.
Animals that are not milked will suffer
from disease if this is allowed to con
tinue, but those that are !eiug milked
throw off ao much of this waste material
through the milk that they escape. In
other animals catarrh, influenza, grease
in the heels, glanders and other disor
ders follow.
' To avoid all this the skin needs good
treatment, especially in hot weather.
The can!, curry-comb and stiff brush
tdiould bo used to cleanse the skin fre
quently. A little carboluted vaeeline
worked in with the brush would bo of
great value in preventing kin diseases
and lice. When the old coat is shedding
and the new coming In, such a treatment
is indinpentabltt, and It will ulvo the
new hair filch a Mart that it will bo an
offeotiml warmth ami cold protector to
the animal.

Secretary Foster a few days ago con

"round-up" the clerks in the Treasury
Department who are away on sick leave,
and in doing so he uncovered an inter

present a clerk absent on sick leave
draws about two-thirds of the salary of
the position, while the duties are per
formed by a substitute selected from the
civil-service list of eligibles, who draws
the remainder of the salary. In making
his "round-up" the Secretary finds that
a number of clerks have been" absent for
months, the only evidence of theirexiet
ence being the occasional appearance of
a physician's certificate and the regular
issue" of a monthly check. One clerk, a
woman, has not been on duty for two
years, and a chief of division, who was
appointed early in the administration,
reports that he has never seen a certain
clerk whoso name is on the roll. All de
linquents of this kind will be notified
that if they aro not on duty by a lixed
date their places will be filled.

was taking fifteen head of cattle to Sand
Point, and J. V. McConnell, a cattloman
of Oaksdale. Suddenly, just as tho en
gine was about midway on the bridge, it
began to sway ; there was a loud cracking
noise; the trestle trembled and then
went down with a terrific crash, throw
ing three of tho freight cars together
and breaking them into kindling wood.
FIFTH TIME SEVEN MONTHS.
One car rolled over and only had a
Iward or two knocked out of its bottom ;
the cabooso was jerked sideways, while
the engine kept the track, though stand
ing almost perpendicular on the tender.
Brakeman Hoffelt had seen the en;
gine sway, and got on the roof of tho
caboose with tho intention of jumping
off, but he was too slow ami was thrown
violently off to tho ground fifty feet bo
low, the caboose tumbli g after him, but
fortunately falling in the debris of tho
cars and not touching him. He escaped
with but a scratch.
Everybody else in the car was equally
fortunate except Roadmaster Lynch,
who had his back badly sprained.
The engineer also escaped, but tho
hi man vi. ii- mure uiiioi'ttuiate iin.l was
crushed aboil, the chest between the en
gine and tender, lie was taken out and
carried to tho hospital, but died as he
was being taken to that institution.
There were four freight cars in the
train. One was loaded with twenty-four
head of horses and eight colts belonging
to W. L. Campbell of Ueneaee, who was
shipping them to Nebraska. There was
also a car of hay and wheat and a car of
furniture. The ho'ses fell at tho bottom
of the pile, with the cattle car antl grain
upon them. Several head of horses were
killed instantly, and some of the cattle.
Others died later, and still others wore
so illy hurt thnt they had to be killed.
There were some swine with the cattle,
and those that were under the larger an
imals were mashed flat. Dead and dying
horses lay for some distance along the
road. There was a little colt with its
front legs broken lying near its mother,
while an older colt was rescued, safe and
sound, and was seen scampering up the
hill. Tho cattle wore also badly injured
except two or three, which were savod.
Those who are inclined to bo supersti
tious will not want to travel in Caboose
No. 1423, for this was the fifth time in
seven months in which it has been
ditched, which fact possibly accounts for
the dexterity of the brakeman in prepar

Sonic interesting statistics might be
collected on the effect upon linguistic
power and accent of the possession of a
musical ear. It would seem that a person
with a good ear lor music would bo more
rapid in the acquirement of a foreign
tongue, and, lming acquired it, would
possess a more perfect pronunciation of
tho sounds than would a person not hav
ing the same ready musical gift. Simi
larly such a person would he quick to at
tain the dialect of the country in which he
might be living, and to adopt his vocalisms
to the brogue or provincialism with which
ho found his ears surrounded. Thegreater
rapidity with which Germans, Poles and
Russians learn tho English language is
surely not to be accounted for merely by
stating that their own more nearly re
sembles our language than does that of
tho Kronen or Italian. A Greek, for in
stance, learns to speak English in nbout
half the time it takes an Italian to acquire
French, and a Russian will speak French,
English and German in tho same period
that a Frenchman will need to acquire a
mere smattering of the two latter. New
