Washington, Nov. 8&_ United States Consul Stephens, at Plvimont Eng- land, says in a recent geport:® i> "The, British press bas called special attention during the Tast month to the continued, and ®hat they term alarm- ing flight of the Irish and Cornish to America. Over 23,000 have gone from Ireland alone during the present year, and the exodus, which has re- ceived an impetus from the cheap fares, goes on without interruption. "There is, it is asserted, no greater menace to Ireland's future than this appalling drain by emigration. It is drawing out of the country the best of its. peasant class for America,' and leaving the undesirables hehind. "Never before have the Irish people manifested such a determination to leave their country. At present: they are leaving at the rate of 2,000 per week, and no argument advanced to keep them in their island has the slightest effiet. 'The same conditions, though ih a modified form, apply to Cornwall. The mining industry at home is dead. In the British coloniés, conditions * are not at all favorable, hence the week- ly exodus to America. Those already in the United States send home money as rapidly as possible to assist their relatives and companions in Cornwall to follow." PRESBYTERY MEETINGS.

Cause Of Loss--Preveuntion And Extermination. Parasites are one of primary cuus 8 Ol UBPFroRtableness and © Ei poultry, says the poultry division, Ot tawa. the towls are rarely examud, and the reason oi their poor condi- tion is not discovered or even consid: cred. It will pay every poultryhian to examine his birds caretunly befére they go into winter quarters, as .their health and comfort during the next six months depend largely upon their freedom from vermin. There are three distinct groups of parasites preying upon the domestic fowl, teas, jice and mites, Only one species of flea, the bird flea, lives pon the fowl. It is provid ed with a sharp piercing mouth; it attacks the fowls at night and through constant irritation and loss of blood does much harin. The euth of the louse differs from that of the flea in that it is not sharp and used for piercing, but simply for biting. Lice bite sharply and cause considern- ble "pain." The most injurious of the mites is the red fowl mite. . This is vellowish-white to dark red in color, according to the quantity of blood it contains. The blood is drawn from the fowls at night, and dusing the day the mite hides in the cracks and ere: vicos of the house. The chickens should be examined at .night, and treatment resorted to, If the poultry house ig old and contains many cre vices. all nests and roosts should be removed, 'and the walls aid ceiling covered with heavy building paper and lime-wash. The latter should be ap- plied hot and fairly liquid, so as to enter every crevied. Its quality will be improved by adding to every gallon of the mash one-quarter pound of soft soap dissolved in boiling water 3 also a small * quantity of salt. The matenal taken from the house should be burned, and new roosting quarters] and inside fittings put in. These fit tings should be simple and easily re movable so that the vermin can . be destroyed. Before the fowls. return to the house they should be thoroughly dusted with insect powder or sulphur. By dusting cach fowl over a box or paper, the powder calf be well rubbed among the quills of the feathers, and the excess will not be wasted. The coal tar treat- ment for the destruction of the gape worm can be effectively used to rid fowls of vermin. The fowls are placed in a barrel, the inside of which is coated with a mixture of coal tar and coal oil of the consistency of paint, and the top of the barre] is covered. The. lice are overcome hy the coal tar fwnes and fall to the bottom of the barrel. A paper should be plac- ed to catch the vermin when they fall, so that they may be destroyed. "The poultry. Hpuse requires cleaning oul limewashing. twice a vear. The roosts | should be removed and treated With | coal tar or kerosene every week, and the nests frequently cleansed and new straw placed in them. It is necessary to regularly examine young chicks for head lice. If not des- troyed; they will so weaken the chick that ip will dic from loss of blood. The lice can be removed by smearing the chick's head with, grease or sweet | - Fol to which' a few drops of earbolie acid have been added. ---- Scaly legs, quite prevalent in flocks of neglected poultry. is due to a spe- cies of mite, The scales of the legs and feet become 'raised and separated, and a chalk-like excretion accumulates he- tween and over them: rough, hunpy crusts are formed, and under these the mites live and breed. The diseased legs and feet should be well washed with a small. stiff brush, warm water and soap. The crusts should then he removed and d mixture of equal parts of sulphur ant lard rubbed into the aficeted parts. After three 'ore four days the legs should he cleansed with soap and warm water.
