PAEM ' AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
W Invitn communiiiitlon fmm all jTmi whnare
iitt-rtxb-il iu mattel-H proporly IwioUKiUK to UUa de
purtmcnt. (in lies In Chickens.
Since it lias become a settled I'nct tlint
this widespread (Unease, which is tho great
enemy of poultry breeders, in caused by
lico, almost always to bo seen on the heads
of the young chickens lis soon as out of tho
ogg, It becomes n matter of groat Impor
tance to ku6w how tho lice can be exter
minated before the evil work has boon
done. We have read various artiolos upon
this question, but fail to find that the ex
periments of others have been in any re
gard more satisfactory than our own. In
loimor years we lost a great many valuablo
birds by this scourge, for which we almost
believe there was no remedy. For about
three or four years we have used only one
preraration, from a recipe of our own, and
liave not lost a chick by this cause during
that period. Several years ago we dis
covered that almost any kind of greaso or
oil was death to the lice in a majority of
cases, though ono application was always
sufficient. A little later we used skunk's
oil for a season with eutiro satisfaction,
but our supply being limited was at last ex
hausted. We then experimented consider
ably and have settled upon this prepara
tion, which has been used rather lavishly
at times, but never in a single instance
with any disadvantage to tho chicks :
Mix two ounces each of olive oil and oil of
sassafras (or in the absenco of this oil, coal
oil will do nearly as well,) with one ounce
f spirits of turpentine, and tho simple but
effective preparation is ready for use. We
generally give tho hen amplo time to got
her chicks well into tho world before troub
ling her, and when they are from 12 to 24
hours old, apply the preparation to tho
heads of nil. We use enough of tho oil to
thoroughly wet down tho feathers and never
l'.ave occasion to repeat the operation. We
advise any person noeding such a remedy
in their breeding, to try the merits of our
recipe, and we think tho result will be sat
isfactory. City Made Butter.
For some time past an article has been
sold in this market as butter, says the New
York Timet, 'which is nothing but a com
pound of animal fat, suet, milk, and oil.
It is alleged that many reputable dealers
in butter have been induced to purchaso
this vile article, and sell it to their cus
tomers as pure butter. , Large quantities
of the article have been - sold to tho mill
operatives in Paterson, and to the miners
in Pennsylvania, and it has been shipped to
the West Indies, thus destroying the char
acter of the New York market. The spec
ulators in this oompound have already es
tablished manufactories in New York,
Brooklyn, New Jersey, Hoboken, Newark,
and Boston, and employ persons to collect
grease and fat from butchers' shops and
private dwellings. The matter has been
brought under notice of the Butter and
Cheese Exchango, and the members have
pledged themselves not to purchase the
article and to do all in their power to rid
the market of it.' A sub-committee has
been appointed to examine into the ques
tion fully, aud to report the best means to
be adopted to prevent the introduction of
"oleomargarine," as the new butter is call
ed, into the market. The new article can
be manufactured for about fourteen cents
per pound, and it is disposed of at thirty
cents, realizing a handsome J roiit for the
manufactures.', , j ' ! ;
Simple Tree Preservative.
To render posts or timber, placed in the
ground, practically impervious to moisture,
and for a long timo prevent decay, the fol
lowing simple recipe has been tried and
found to answer the purpose excellently.
For fence and gate posts it is particularly
lecommended. Take linseed oil, boil it,
and mix it with charcoal dust until the
mixture has the consistency of an ordinary
paint. Give the posts a single coat of the
mixture or paint before planting them, and
no farmer, says one who has used it, living
to the ago of the patriarchs of old, will live
long enough to see the posts rotten. The
pobts should be well-seasoned and dry when
the paint is applied.
How to Catch Crows.
Milk a a number of small paper tuts, or,
in other words, papers rolled up in the
hlnipe of a ooue, about four inches deep,
tl.ey must be pasted together' at the joint,
so they will not como apart. Make holes
in tho ground in your coin Hold, and set
these papers up in them, big end up ; and
drop into each one a small piece of meat.
Then around the top, on the iusido, spread
Home tar, such as you grease your wagons
with, and your trap is completed. The
cows will reach down in to got the meat
aud the tar will stick fast to the feathers on
their heads, the paper and all will como,
and the crows are then blindfolded, and
cannot therefore ily away.
VB Fortv thousand head of cattle are
said to have perished in Utah aud Nevada
during tho winter.

contain nothing Injurious, and, therefore, ctriise
none of those lingering diseases so often the re
sult of the many nostrums of tbe day. Physi
cians recommend them as far superior to Qui
nine, or any other known remedy.for they leave
the system in a healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. The
genuine are put up In square tin boxes, with
"Thompsons Fever and Ague Powders"
