CHAMBERS.

Chambers is contagious malady,
which can be communicated from one
animal to another by actual contact
only; therefore, to prevent the disease
from spreading it is necessary only to
isolate all subjects which have been
exposed to the disease until the period
of incubation has expired. The period
of incubation, or, in other words, the
time of receiving the contagion into
the system and the appearance of the
disease is usually in the acute form
five to ten days, while in the chronic
form it may be two OF three months.
All exposed subjects should therefore
be quarantined for from sixty to
ninety days. There is no cure for
CHAMBERS. In the neighborhood where
the disease has prevailed due precau-
ton should be taken to guard against
the spread Of the disease. Ali diseased
subjects should be promptly destroyed
and the carcasses should be burned.
All suspected animals should be kept
isolated under veterinary supervision
until they can be pronounced sound
or destroyed. The stable where the
diseased subjects have been kept, as
well as all clothing, utensils, harness,
ETC., should be thoroughly disinfected.

Making Artificial Clouds.

Artificial clouds were recently made
fer the protection of vines from frost
at Oaeleain, on the Swedish- Norwegian
frontier. In carrying out this novel
innovation, liquid tar was ignited in
tin boxes placed along the vine rows,
and large sections Of solidifed pet1o-
leum were fred at various places in
the vineyard. From these combusti-
bles larae clouds of smoke arose and
thoroughly protected the particular
vineyard in which the experiment WIS
being tested, although vines in tho
immediate neighborhood were badly
injured by the frost. One of the Eu-
ropean metropolitan weeklies, in COM
menting on the utility of the met bod,
spoke very unfavorably of it, dcclar-
ing that it could only prove effective
in very calm weather. If the eiitor
of that journal will brush up q little
on meteorology he will learn that calm
weather is about the only time in
which killing frosts occur.-New York

FOOTBALL.
Yale Defeats Harvard-Tragedies and
Accidents.

The five years series OF Ya!e-Harvard foot.
ball games In Springfield, Mass, eliminated
in the fiercest struggle of all, which resulted
in another victory for Yale by a score oil
twelve to four. There were $4,000
people on Hampden Park, the greatest
number that has ever gathered at these an
nuRl contests, and the hercenesS and the
moro open play caused by the new rules
made the game the most interesting ever
seen. 1t was marred, however. by
probably the greatest number OF accidents
that ever occurred in a big game.
Harvard's one touchdown was secured
by really better work than Yale's two,
which were made on ffukes of Harvard's play
ers Harvard missedscoring twice again by
the bareSt possible margin on two drop
kicks Of Fairchild, the first of which hit the
cross bar Of Yales goal and tho second OF
which sent the ball between the cross bars,
not thirty seconds after time was called.
Experts thought Harvard should have won
except for bad luck, and that but for the re-
ferees blunder the score should have been
12to in favor of Yale. Summary of the

POULTRY DUST BATH.

Nearly if not quite all species of
fowls use the dust bath, says Albert T.
Firestine. They choose q spot of fine,
dry soil and scrape little holes, where
they pulverize the dirt until i; is re-
duced to fine dust. In this they roll
and shake their feathers and allow the
dust to penetrate to the skin. It APP
pears that in some way this is deleter-
ious to the parasites which infest the
plumage or the skin. It has been
Said by some naturalists that as all in
sects breathe-not through the mouth
as m-blooded animals do, but
through little openings in the skin
situated in rows along the side of the
body-the particles of dust close these
openings, SO that parasites die of
suffocation as quickly as a quadruped
would if held under water. This has
been denied by some scientists, who
say that these holes are defended by e
very delicate but effective apparatus
that makes it impossible for any foreign
matter to enter, no matter how minute
it may be. Be this as it may, know
that wild birds take dust baths when
ever the weather and the state of soil
permit. Nature is a good guide, and
whether the dust bath is for the pre-
vention and absorption of effete mat
ter which has become too odorous, or
whether it acts as an insecticide, it is
certainly advantageous to fowls or they
would not use the dust bath. I say
that the careful poultry keeper will
provide dust boxes for birds, filled
with fine dust, coal ashes, thoroughly
dried and mixed with insect power
It makes but little difference which of
these varieties of soil you use the
principal part is to have it clean. That
is, not highly MANFRED soil, but
comparatively unfertile one is prefer
able. The next qualification is that
it must be perfectly dry.-Western

WINTERING PARSNIpS.

The practice of leaving pars1ips in
the ground through the winter is very
general, writes c.. A. Woolson, of
Vermont, TO the American Agricul-
turist. The prevalent idea that freez-
ing and thawing add materially to the
flavor of the vegetable is erroneous,
as experience proves. The better way
is to dig them late in the fall and
store in a cool cellar. The advan-
tages to be gained by this process are
the early date at which they can be
placed in the market and consequent
higher prices obtained, and the
length of time they retain their flavor
and freshness in spring and early sum-
mer. Parsnips thus cared for have
been kept into June with marked Sic
cess. Furthermore it avoids the neces-
sity of hustling around to dig the
roots in the spring before the tops
have made much growth; likewise
worms and rot are unknown.

FAIL CALVES THE BEST TO RAISE,

There is no longer any use disput-
ing the extra value Of fall calves for
raising. And they constitute one of
the chief sources of profit to the but
ter dniryman, who has his skim milk
and raises his own COWS, finely bred. 1t
is no wonder that such wise men esti-
mate the value of skim milk at one
cent per quart. And they have learned
how to employ it to the best advan-
tage. 81 always feed it with bran,"
says one. But bran alone would not
do, although it is essential to rapid
growth because of its bone producing
elements. 4 little faxseed, properly
prepared, returns to the milk a part
of the fat removed by skimming, and
keeps the bowls in order. Boil it in
six times its bulk of water for twenty
minutes, or until it makes a Jelly.
Two tablespoonfuls of this jelly placed
IN each gallon of milk fed the calves,
with handful or two of bran, accord
ing to the age OF the calf. will make
large, sleek, choice animals. Too
much bran fed to very young calves
is not desirable. There is no COM
parison between fall calves carefully
reared in the barn in this way for the
first six months, and spring calves
turned out to battle with flies inside
IF two months after birth. The evil
dence is wholly in favor of the fall
calves. And it is surpriring how soon
they begin to eat hay. Give them the
best early cut. Many are beginning
to find a similar course satisfactory
for veal production, slightly increas-
ing the jelly with full rations of milk,
but not enough to cloy the appetite.
Some feed little corn meal in con-
junction with the ration when fatten-
ing veal. This must be used Judi
