In many poultry houses the manner In which the roosts are placed in posi­ tion is a source of annoyance when time comes to clean out the bouse In order to avoid the difficulty of getting around under the roosts, b. they should be placed crosswise a frame made of about 2x4-lucb material, six feet wide and nearly as loug as the building in which they are to be placed. Hang the frame, a, at one side to the wall by heavy strap or T-hinges and support the other side by props, d, placed under It or a couple of pieces oft stout wire rope, c, hung from the roof. The roosts can then be let down out of the way when the house Is being cleaned, and they also can be scraped oft and washed with lime, either with a brush Pests of the cabbage family are best controlled by the use of the following insecticide: Pulverized resin. 5 pounds; concentrated lye, 1 pound; fish oil, 1 pint: water 5 gallons. Make this into a stock solution by placing the oil. resin and one gallon of hot water in j an iron kettle, heating until the resin Is softened. After this add the concen­ trated lyecarefully and stir the mixture thoroughly. Add four more gallons of water and boll the whole mass until the mixture will unite with cold water, making a clear, amber-colored mixture. This mixture should make five gallons of stock solution. When this is used, F. A. Sirritte, of the Geneva Experi­ ment Station, advises preparing it by combining one gallon of the stock solu­ tion with sixteen gallons of water, three gallons of milk of lime and oue- fourth pound of Paris green. The wa­ ter, resin ami tnllk of lltne is added. In every case where this mixture is prop­ erly applied good results were obtained. —American Agriculturist. Gathering Cow Pens. My method of gathering them Is t long way ahead of the common way ol hand picking. Take a heavy chain and fasten on a No. 20 Oliver chilled plow, or auy other heavy plow.

Take wheel aud jointer oft of plow; let tow come between team aud plow, just skim enough surface to cut pea stalks off. The stalks will be caught by the chain and dragged until enough gathers to raise cbaiu, then thej will drop out under chain and chain will then gather another bunch In like manner. Size of bunches will be regu lated by weight of chain. If gathered in this way early in the morning while roosts are whitewashed frequently the they are tougli none will shatter.
