Send an order somewhere into North Carolina to a house which manufactures smoking tobacco or any other brand of tobacco which necessitates the cutting up of the stems of the leaves into bits about a half to an inch long and have 100 or 1,000 pounds of these tobacco stems, according to the size of the chicken house and the number of nests that will be used. Make the nests of these stems, and if there are no mites in the chicken house at that time there never wiH be one there as long &9 tobacco stems are used for nestware. If lice are among the fowls, collect all the old nest straw and burn if orifi thpn fill fhp npsts with tnhflr co stems. But before doing that, make a strong tea of the stems in boiling water and with a small paint or whitewash brush paint the bottom and sides of the nests, also the roosts and the places where the roost posts form the sides of the house. Paint the roosts and these places several times in the course of two weeks. Scatter tobacco stenrs on the floor of the chicken house and with a broom sweep them gently about the floor every few days.

H 8 fou Pay. jj I A RUSSIAN I WAY By M. QUAD Copyright 1314, by Associated Literary Press. . ' A man named Bogoff came to the United States in 1865 and acquired title to some lands in Montana, He returned to Bussla, where he died without knowing the value of Ma property. A syndicate boucht nn all the anr .rounding land and wanted that belonging to Bogoflfs belrs. As a member of tbe syndicate I was sent to Russijt to put the matter through. There was Just one thing to be kept secret?Bogoff had paid about $700 for property worth over $100,000. I was to get hold of the land as cheap- ( ly as possible, giving no hint of Its real value. Bogoff was a native of the port of Narva, on the gulf of Finland, and one day I landed there in search of Information. I had my passport and other credentials and anticipated no trouble, but I was Ignorant of the way things work in Russia. After taking up quarters at a hotel I called upon a lawyer to make Inquiries and secure assistance. Yes, be had heard of the Bogoffs and thought the family could easily be found. I was to call again on the morrow and meanwhile he would gather such information as j he could. Two hours later the chief of police of Narva entered my room with two of bis men. The astute officer questioned me for three long hours and was more suspicious at the finish than at the beginning. It was so queer that Bogofif should have purchased that land, so queer that he hadn't reported It on returning, so queer that I should make such a long journey to see the heirs, so queer that I should seek out a law*, yer Instead of calling at the police station. I knew exactly what all this meant Had I said to the lawyer In the first place that there was a "dlrry" in the matter for him and for the chief of police and two or three other officials all would have gone welL When the chief realized that I could not be bled be bad all my papers taken to his office. The police were ordered to look upon me as a suspicious person, and a detective was detailed to watch S me day and night. Thinking I might carry on the business from St Petersburg, I went to that city and again called upon a lawyer first of all. He was sharp enough to realise that the property waa of considerable valoe, and without any beating around the bush he told me that he would find the heir and put the matter through for the sum of $5,000. I refused to bribe him and'as a result soon discovered that no lawyer would have anything to do with the case, and only two days bad passed before I was summoned to the office of the chief of police. He closed the Interview by saying that I would be shadowed while I remainea ac lue capiiai ana uy auviaing me to take do further steps on my own account to discover the Bogoffs. I had not been provided with money to bribe any one. I must either defy the police and work up the case single handed or return and report a failure. Being firmly convinced that Mrs. Bogoff was in Narva, I secretly left St Petersburg for that town. Securing rooms In a boarding house and disguising my personal appearance to a considerable extent I prosecuted my Inquiries under one excuse and another until I at length discovered the woman. She was living In her own home and In poor circumstances and wa-3 rejoiced it the prospect of selling the land, which she remembered her husband referring to as a poor Inveatment on tils part I must have the assistance of a notary to make out the papers, and It ivas while seeking this assistance that :be police got track of me again. Aa soon as they Interfered I was balked, rbey not ouly warned every notary in S'arva against me. but the wldotv was ibliged to take a Journey and go Into ilding. Thiugs might have stopped iiere had I been a cool and placid man. CVhen I found the police hounding me igain 1 lost my temper and gave the :b!ef my opinion of things In general ind of his own conduct In particular. : was arrested; on what charge I never mew. As soon as Incarcerated-1 asked leave :o communicate with the American inlster. This request was refused. 1 vas not allowed books, writing mateiais or other food than the regular irison fare and was. In fact treated d all respects as a criminal. On the bird day tbe chief of police sent for ae and asked If I would leave Russia f given my liberty. I replied la tbe icgatlve and was returned to prison. Jy threats that the matter would be horoughly sifted by our representative inly made him smile, and be quietly nformed me that be would keep me In irlson for the rest of my life If need ie. On the seventh day he sent for ne again. 1 bad now changed my aind. I saw that I could be sent oBT o Siberia If the officials so desired ind that there was no longer tbe lightest hope of accomplishing my erand. I therefore answered him that was ready and willing to leave the za^s dominions at a moment's notice, nd as a steamer was to leave port hat evening four police officers were letalled to escort me on board. Not nly that, but I was locked up In a tateroom and not set at liberty until iooo next day. I found Americans, Englishmen and Frenchmen on tbe ioat, but cot no sympathy from any f them. ' rhe contrary, I was called n Idiot for my conduct, and every one greed that I might have been packed ff to Siberia without any one but the oltce being tbe wiser. > t ?
