THE parasite that causes gapes in
fowl is of a red color and about three.
quarters of an inch long. The remedies
are numerous, but chiefly consist in re.
moving the worms. One way is To
moisten a feather from which all but
the tip of the web has been stripped,
with oil, salt water, or a weak solution
Of carbolic acid, introduce it into the
windpipe, twist it around once or twice
and then withdraw it. A teaspoonfu
of sulphur mixed with a quart Of corr
meal and water, and fed to the fowl,
morning and evening, is also a good
remedy.

CLOSETS and cupboards should be wei
ventilated, and this is defect-ill-venti
lation-that but few try to remedy oi
even think of. This can be remedied
however, in very simple way. If pos
sible, have perforations made through
the back of the closet and few in tn,
door; when the wall of the closet cal
not be perforated, bore holes freely il
the door at the top and bottom. I,
prevent dampness, with the accom-
! panying unpleasantness and iniuriou
effects of mildew in cupboards, a tray o
quicklime should be kept and changet
| from time to time as the lime become
slaked. This remedy will also b
found useful in safes or imminent
rooms, the damp air of which is ofteI
destructive to valuable deeds and othe
contents.
