Gapes In Chickens.

In recent conversation with an ex-
perienced chicken raiser he informed us
that he had been very successful in con-
quering that precarious disease in his
young fowls by the application of air.
Stacked lime. AS soon as a manifesto
ton of gapes in his fowls appears, he
confines his chickens in box, one at a
time, sufficiently large to contain the
bird, and places coarse piece ofcotton
or linen cloth over the top. Upon
this he places the pulverized lime, and
taps the screen sufficiently to cause the
lime to fall through. This lime dust
the fowl inhales and is made to sneeze,
and in a short time the cause of the
gapes is thrown out in the form of a
Shiny mass or masses of worms, which
had accumulated in the windpipe and
smaller air vessels. This remedy he
considers superior to any remedy he
ever tried, and he seldom fails to effect
a cure. He has abjured all those me-
chanical means by which it is attempted
to diSlodge the entozoa with instruments
made of whalebone, hogs bristle, horse
hair or fine wire, alleging that people
are quite as certain to push the cape
worm farther down the throat of the
fowls as to draw them up.-Poultry

! saw tonight the man loved
Three little years ago;
did not think so short time
Could change mortal SO
There were none like him in those days
SO strong, so true, so wise
lie had lofty, marble brow,
And tender, soulful eyes.
4 voice of music; hair by which
The ravens wing would seem
But pale, indeed face and form
To haunt sculptor's dream.
But when l looked at him tonight,
lsaw no single trace
OF the old glory-only just
A very common face.
No marble brow, no soul-lit Orbs;
The face was round and sleek,
That once to my love-haunted eyes
Was so intensely Greek.
i know full well he has not changed
So very much. All, mel
But was blind in those dear days,
And now, alas | see.
IT'S very dreadful to be blind,
OF course, and yet, tonight
should be happier far if
Had not received my sight.
One little thought will trouble me-
i only wish knew
Whether he still is blind, or if
His eyes are open too.

perhaps one doubtful exception, all at
tempts to discover the exact mode of
entrance of the parasite into the
young wheat plant have signally failed.
Still it can be shown that the infection
must take place during the early
growth of the wheat. Some years ago
made many careful examinations of
smutted wheat in the field, and found
that the whole plant in nearly every
case was affected, showing that the
disease must have begun before the
plant commenced branching or "stool-
ing out" and that it followed up the
several branches as it grew. This ac-
cords with the results of investigations
made some years since in Europe by
DR.. Fischer Won Waldheim, who found
the threads of the parasite in the lower
joints of the young plants.
When we come to questions ofprever .
ton, it is at once evident that what.
ever will destroy the spores or elimi-
nate them from the seed-wheat will, in
so fur, lessen the liability to the dis
ease. AS the smutted grains are
lighter than the normal ones they can
be hoated out by throwing the seed
wheat into the water violently agit :
ting it. The common "Smut-mills" OF
the millers may also be used, although
in this case there is considerable danger
of mechanical injury to the normal
grains. In whatever manner the smut
ted grains are removed it must be borne
in mind that many spores adhere tC
those which are not smutted, and these
spores must be removed or DESTROYED
or but little good will come from tn,
operation. The last may be accom-
plished by the use of caustic lime
which may be applied in the dry stat,
to the wetted wheat after the washing
spoken of above. A solution of blu,
stone Copper sulphate) is also mucl
used by English farmers for the same
purpose, and appears to destroy tn,
life of the spores without injuring tn,
wheat.
1t is utterly useless to make an ap
plication of any kind whatever to tn,
growing wheat before "heading" By
way of prevention or remedy, the dis
ease being an internal one as shown
above. Were farmer obliged t,
make use of seed which is considerabI,
smutted, the best plan would be t,
first thoroughly wash the wheat an,
flood out the smutted grains, and thel
to sprinkle caustic lime upon the We
wheat. BY so doing the danger of
recurrence of the disease will b.
greatly lessened. To reduce tn
general liability to smut in any localit,
or upon any farm, care should be ia
ken with the seed as above, and in ad
dition there should be such a rotation
, of crops that considerable interva
? will intervene between each succeedin,
: wheat crop.-Prof C. E. Bessey, Il

HATCnIE RfVER TRADE.

But little was done in the above trade
during the past season. Low water dur
ing the early part Of the business season
prevented boats from ascending the river,
and when there was water went but n
short distance. The draw of the railroad
bridge near Covington was not opened
until some time in December, and by that
time the bulk Of the cotton crop had
been marketed. The Fulton made a few
trips and done a fair business. 1t is not
now known if any boat will venture to
run regularly in this trade during the
coming season. This river is navigablc 10
Bolivar, Tenn, which is near 800 miles
from its mouth, and along its banks and
ADJACENT country is any amount Of
timber, including pine, walnut, ash, cy-

Der and slaves is shipped from this section
every season, and doubtless a paying
local trade could be built up if properly
managed.
