food and care. Herein lies the secret, The
strength is increased, the growth promoted,
and the little things outgrow it. The dis
temper is always present at certain ages,
but stimulating, heat-producing food mas
.ers it and keeps it down, and it is not dis
covered. The chick has it, nevertheless,
and passes through it without manifesting
any sign, for the strength has been kept
up.
Wet, sloppy TODD is sure to reduce the
strength, and the birds sicken of it, refuse
to eat, and the distemper has its course.
There is no remedy or cure after the fowl
is reduced to this extent. There are meth
DDS by which the worms may be taken from
the throat but the chick is likely to die un-
der the operation, or become a poor fowl,
hardly worth the raising. Fowls have giz-
yards which grind their food. The sooner
youag chicks are put on whole grain, either
wheat or buckwheat, the better. Young
chicks should not be allowed to run all day
and reduce their strength by fatigue, but
should be kept quiet, well ted and watered.
dry and warm. Then they make rapid and
strong growths, and distempers pass over
and make no sign. .@
The gapes are caused by clusters of worms
in the windpipe of the chick. These worms
are red and wiry. They float in nest Of
bloody troth, and the fowl receives no dam
age whatever in their passage out of the
body, if net reduced in strength, or con.
tracing heavy cold, in which case the ex
traneous matter becomes hard and tough

fowl sneezes and coughs severely. The
worms get there in the same way as worm

Anything that impedes the progress of this

believe, are gathered from impurities of the
blood i'm the lungs; are thrown out through
the windpipe, and finally disposed o
through the intestines.

rapid growths this bad blood is discharged
without injury to the strong chicks, an'
there are no signs of disease. This is all tn
remedy or cure for the gapes known to tn
fraternity. Early chicks receive better car
and food and warmer quarters. They ar
also kept from dampness, and have NOR

HE HAD SPOILED A STAMP.

The marriage ceremony had been per-
formed, the guests had departed, and the
last vestige of sumptuous repast was
even now being slowed away under the
blue coat of guardian OF the night.
The bride was taking an inventory of the
pickle casters, and the groom had just
left the house ostensibly for the purpose
Of smoking cigar, but really to seek his
father, At whose door he was about to
lay a charge of awful import.
Father" and the old man trembled
with apprehension as he noted the stem

done -

This night you gave me a check for
$4,000.
$50 l did, and l ought to have made

"Yes, you ought TO have made it BIO
600, but" he added, grimly, sit is too
late now. But this is not all"
"0h heavens cannot stand further
censure" gasped the misersble old man.
1T pains me beyond mea sure to thus
torture you, but, father your conduct has
been characterized by reckless extrava.
gance that must not pass unnoticed.
Are you aware that the blank check you
filed out was one with the stamp print
ed on it Would il not have answered
the purpose amply as well, sir, to have
pasted a cancelled two cent internal rev.
enne stamp on the check: / can over
look your fore etfulness in filing out the
check incorr city, but that you shonld
destroy good stamped check is inexcus-
able"
But the old man swooned away ere
the son had finished. 1t was all too
true. In a moment of abstraction the
old man had wasted a two cent stamp
on 4 snide wedding check.
