GAPES IN CHICKENS.

The something" which "gets into the soil" is a syngame containing thousands of eggs" which cause the disease known as 'gapes in chickens. y How many of these eggs are developed into "red worms"it is impossible to tell, as the chicken ejects some of the para sites a number of times daily for several days until so many become lodged in the trachea, attached to its inper sur face by two months, that the chicken is suffocated
 I seldom raise less than one hundred chickens each season and often more than that number. Now how interest ing an occupation for me to catch each of these hundred chickens, two or three weeks of age, and daily introduce into each small traches (they are smalD 8 horse hair or other mechanical contri- vance and remove (?) each pair of ad- herring "red worms" as they develop from day to day from the syngames al. ready eaten and also these developing at differing periods from the syngames which the chicken will continue to pick up from affected soil. Do give us 6 more practical method of treatment. One person told me he prerented the disease by feeding whole Southern corn and starving his chickens until they ate it, arguing that the large kernels crowded the ,cormS io,cn. I never tried the rem, edy. have cut open several tracheas of live chickens for examination and know that it is impossible to cure the disease by any such methods.

VOLUME XXI.

With today's issue the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS caters upon the duties of Volume XXI. It is notable period in its career. The NEWS has reached it's majority. It is now of age-twenty one years old-and entitled to vote; and it proposes to vote. on numberless ques- tions as they arise and to vote for the highest and best interests of the com munity in which it is published and wherever it circulates. It does not pur- pose to enter the field of politics or champion the cause of any faction, but it will oppose any scheme or conabina- tion designed to defraud, oppress or de- bauch the public.
 One year ago today THE NEWS pub lshed the history of its career, and does not feel called upon at this time to re- print it; however, it should be mention cd that within the past year one of it's for mer proprietors and editors, Col J. B. Hardenbergh, has gone to his eternal home; but THE NEWS still lives and we trust that its fate is like Tennyson' s brook:
 "For men may come and men may go,
 But go on for ever."

Those who have interviewed the ex- e-president of the Housatonic road report that he declares himself ''all right" that he has not had vacation for 23 years and that he now intends to loaf and enjoy himself
 According to the Bridgeport Farmer there is abundant reason for Col Steven sons amiable frame of mind. It asserts that when he left the Consolidated road he set out with the well defiued purpose of making the despised Housatonic such thorn in the side of the Consoli- dated that the latter would have to come to terms with them The same journal also says that the Colonel conducted all the negotiations by which the change of control was effected, that he received Sl00,000 as his compensation aud is to have his salary up to the first of next January.
