but each experiment has made inroads
on u busy mans time about equal TO
the value of the subject. And so boz
tween time spent and chickens lost
there was poor margin for any salts
faction. This year an attempt was
made TO outtlank the gape-worms by
putting the chickens on new ground
upon the supposltion that the things
did not grow spontaneously, and fresh
ground would be- free. No use; when
the time came the chicks began gaping
and at length reached period when
they did not do much else. The whole
brood. eight, were the same.
A new idea dawncd-to kill or cure.
and the chicks, collected in peck
measure with bag over il, were taken
TO the playhouse chamber. where was q
barrel with lot of dry air-slackcd lime
init. The barrel was turned down on tho
side and the lime stirred until the dust
was as thick in the air rs it could be,
and then the measure with the chicks in
was put in and the bag was hung over
the end of the barrel to keep the dust
in. After two or three minutes the
chicks were taken out and the expert
mcnt was repeated four times. There
was great deal Of sneezing in the bar
rel but it finished the gapes. The cure
was perfect l presume three trials
would be enough. Although l was
careful as could be, enough of the
