5" Introducing New Blood.
' Successful poultry breeding depends
in a very great measure upon good,
pure blood. To violate this law will
bring disaster to any flock. It is for
that reason that inbreeding should not
be risked by the amateur. We may
breed Jn line and yet avoid the evils
of inbreeding, but that is science whicli
the beginner has not yet mastered.
Where market poultry is the mainstay,
it is best to purchase new male, birds
each - year. This is the most positive
guarantee that we can give -for good,,
pure blood. It gives stamina adds
new life. But the fancier can hardly
afford to take that risk. To retain the
characteristics of ins " strain it Js nec
essary for him to introduce new blood
through the females, which he does
by adding a few each year. . It is tak
ing a long road to accomplish 'what -a
shorter cut (Introducing new males)
would make.
In securing new males the buyer
should be careful to purchase; only
from a breeder who is generally known
to be annually mating for increased
egg production, and who can show a
good record in that line. Inbreeding
has been a curse to many beginners.
It has given them dwarf bodies, poor
layers and weak constitutions. The
poultry farmer cannot afford to take
such risks.- Poultry" Farmer. ."' ;''
Three-Lined Leaf Beetle. 4
The Three-Lined Leaf-Beetle (Lema
trilineata) attacks the potato plant,
both the larvae and the beetles feeding
on its leaves. . :
The perfect, beetle is of a pale yel
low color, with three black stripes on
its back. It bears a strong resem
blance to the common cucumber bug.
It is, however as a general thing, a
slightly larger insect.
Sheep Scab.
Among the last acts of the last ses
sion of the Indiana Legislature was
one making it .compulsory- to clip all
scabby sheep. The object is to stamp
oat this expensive 'but unnecessary
disease.
Scab is produced by an itch mite,
that causes itching, " rubbing, pulling
and shedtiing.the wool, causing a. bare
and scabby skin. The parasite cannot
live f or any . great length . of,, time off
he skin, and does not thrive on any
other animal. It is therefore possible
to stamp out the disease by killing
all mites by dipping. 'Solutions of to
bacco, lime and sulphur and arsenic
are effective for this 'purpose. The to
bacco solutions have preference. They
may be made by, taking from twenty
to twenty-five pounds of .tobacco. leaves
and stems" and soaking for one day in
sufficient water to cover. Then boil
for an hour and draw off after six
Hours. Dilute to 100 gallons. , ,.Add
iweiuy poynas ot . suipnur ana use
while warm. The lim"e: and suipluu
dip may be made by slacking eight
pounds of lime in some water, adding
twenty-four pounds of, sulphur and di
; late to 10Q gallons. It is " troublesome
to prepare the tobacco solution and
Is about as cheap i to buy the extract
ready for use. The lime and sulphur
tup is .injurious to the. wool. "It-requires
on an average oneVand a half "gallons
of dip solution per head for more than
twentyfSve ;head. The second dipping
is necessary at 5 the' tenth day; so; thai
thcrcost for material must tie reckoned
v auuui uvcv.ceucs to seven cents per
head. The ccal tar orrcreolin dips arc
excellent for ticks, but not as effect! v
as they should be for scab. New Eng-

Slack in boiling water one-half bush-
el of lime, keeping it just fairly cov
ered with water during the process,
and strain it to remove the sediment.
Add to it two poundo of sulphate of
zinc, anf one pound of salt dissolved
in watei. If any other color than
white is wanted, about three pounds of
the desired coloring matter, such as
painters use - in preparing their paints,
should be added: Yellow ochre, which
is inexpensive makes a beautiful cream
color, and brown, red and even various
shades of green can likewise be easily
obtained. :v , Another excellent wash,
which will last almost as well as or
dinary paint, may be prepared for out
side work liy. ; adding to the same
amount of lime, slacked and strained,
two pounds of sulphate of zinc, one
pound of common salt, and one:half
pound of whiting, thoroughly dissolved.
It should be mixed to the proper con
sistency with skim milk 'and applied
hot. If white is not wanted, enough
coloring matter to produce the desired
shade should be added. This milch
superior to any ordinary wash; compar
ing not unfavorably with gtTod lead
paint, so that it gives to the houses and
yards to which it is applied a very at
tractive appearance. ; For on inside
whitewash, slake- and strain a half
bushel Of lime, as described, and add
to it th? 'following ingredients. Three
poupnds of rice belled in' water to a
thick paste, one .pound of powdered
Spanish Whiting and, a pound of clear
glue dtssoived in 'water.' Having mix
ed the whole thoroughly let it stand
for several days. When ready to use
it should be applied hot. For a
smaller quantity of 'these, washes', use
less of the '. required materials in the
same proportion. Fred O. Sibley, in

A llevolution in Onr ..Trade' With GrHt
1 Britain.
It is in Great Britain that, we; find
in its fullest development the effect
of the American , commercial invasion
of the world's markets.. It is true tmi:
American competition lias been making
notable inroads into the commerce of
all the countries in Europe. But im
portant as is the effect which has been
produced upon commercial conditions
in the Continental countries, that' re
sult is almost" insignificant whoa com
pared with the consequence of this
competition in Great Britain. From the
beginning of our history England has
formed our most Important market,
and for two generations at least we
have been the largest, customers for
English products. In the last half
dozen j'ears a change has taken place
1
in the trade balance between the two
nations, which is, perhaps, the most
notable single commercial event to be
recorded in the last decade. We have
been steadily reducing our purchases
from the mother-country; we have been
making astounding increases in our
sales to her. Comparing, for instance,
the change which has taken place In
the trade movement between the two
nations in the lasl half-dozen years, we
see that our annual purchases from the
United Kingdom have dropped $10,000.1
000. standing Inst year at -$143,000. -
000. In the same period our sales to !
Great Britain nearly doubled, going i
up from $387,000,000 'in .3803 to $63'!. !
000,000 last year. This change iu the
annual trade balance, showing for
; a more favorable total by $200,000
000 then wo had six years ago, is a
change of such import as can only
mean revolutionary transformation in
the industrial life of the two nations.
These figures are so significant that
they need to be dwelt on somewhat,
to fix in the mind their importance.
Six years ago we sold to Great Britain
$228,000,000 more than we bought.
Last year we sold to her $18S,000COO
more than our purchases. In every
business day ' last year" we sent to
her $1,500,000 more than we bought.
For every dollar's worth of goods we
bought wc sold her four, dollars and
forty -one cents -worth"- o; our produc i
