GArEs IN CHICKENS.

What is called "gapes" in chickens,
and even grown fowls, in due to the
presence of minute worm in the
windpipe or trachea of the fowls Oh
structing the air passage, causing the
peculiar gaping or gasping of the
chickens for breath, hence the name.
II can scarcely he called disease in
the general acceptance of the word,
although it is now pretty we'll known
that all diseases of both animals and
plants are the results of an attack of
either vegetable or animal parasites.
The cape worm or parasite, lives and
breeds in water and moist places gem
orally, and is picked up by the chick
cns and becomes lodged in the trachea.
/! large number get into this organ
they prevent breathing and cause the
death OF the chick, otherwise they
only produce temporary injury.
The cape worm has been very destruc-
tive to the peasants in large game pre-
serves in France, consequently we
may conclude that wild hens are not
exempt from this malady. In Europe
feeding onions, garlic, and similar
strong-scented vegetables are consi-
dered good preventives, and in addi-
tion medicines are use in the drinking
water. The French poultrymen re-
commend putting fifteen grains of
salicylate of soda into every quart of
water given the chickens for drink.
. One of the best preventives where
only few fowls are kept is to change
the yard to new grounds annually, re-
turning to the old one after two or
three years. New York Sun.

Japanese Politeness Not Genuine.

In the daily social intercourse of the
people--and especially, of necessity,
among the better clnsses--the effects
of the characteristic sentimental TEN.
permanent are constantly apparent.
OF these effects, some are such as to
give an appearance of great delicacy
and beauty to the details of life; but
others impress the more robust and
practical Westerner with sense of in.
sincerity and weakness. The polite
ness of the Japanese is marked by all
travellers; it has passed into a prov.
erb. To those who are willing to take
the purely sentimental point of view,
many of the national habits are most
delightful. But none are more severe
in the feeling of repulsion which is
produced by much that is character
istics of polite Japan, than some of
the natives themselves, on return from
Q life of several years in foreign lands.

Eighth Wonder of the World.

One of the most remarkable cases
of extraordinary musical talent in a
child is that of Betty Jones, the baby
accordionist at Assateague Island.
Betty is not yet four years old and ex-
ecutes on the ACCORDION all of her ia.
vorite songs with skill and 'delicacy.
She discovered her marvellous aptitude
for music herself when but two and
one-fourth years old. Fondling her
fathers accordion one day she recog-
nized the different notes of "Jesus,
lover of my soul, )" and in a very short
time learned to play it with ease and
accuracy. She has delighted numer-
GUS visitors to her home by her won-
derful skill, and is never so happy as
when given her instrument and asked
to play. According to the writer of

Harness needs frequent greasing or

by washing with warm water and soap

applied. The leather should be satu-

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

cious pruning,
There is no fear of over-production
of eggs at the rate this country is now
importing them.
Good wool and profitable wool en-
not readily be grown on anything but
healthy flock of sheep.
In nearly all cases breeding stock in
the full prime of life and health al

tory returns.
When the hens are laying regularly
more food should be supplied aud
with more food comes the necessity Of
moro exercise.
No matter how good an animal may
be at the start it will need good food
and constant care in order to enable it
to reach its inherited possibilities.
1t will lessen the expense in the
grain ration if you plant and cultivate
the ensilage corn SO that it will
make ears. Cut it about the time the
ear is glazing.
1t is claimed that corn stalks, but in
lengths of about one to one aud half
inches, will serve as a sufficient mulch
for strawberry plants. A single layer
will be suffi cient to protect the plants

If there are poor spots on the farm
improve them. Do not let them lay
idle. Sow to grass and plow under.
The farm on which the writer was
born had ten acres of poor soil. Moth
ing was done with it until few years
since, when it was improved by SOW

another crop of orchard grass turned
under. In this way and by free ap.
plication of barnyard manure it was

crop ont Of the ground. There is no
more growth then, and il the vines

are left over the potatoes the greater

BEWARE OF FAT COWS.

Beware of fat COWS! This alarm is
sounded strictly for the benefit of good
progressive dairymen. Any one can
succeed in keeping cows poor in flesh
simply by starving them while only n
generous feeder can make them too fat.
While generous feeding is necessity
with good and profitable dairying, yet
the condition precedent for profit is
that the COW should apply her excess
of feed to milk and not to fat making.
The first thing, OF course, in getting
up good herd is to have large milk
ers, and they should be persistent long
mixers, and also rich mixers, but
such cows will not be profitable milk
ers if they get too fat. Such COWS
waste lots of their food in making fat
and should be turned over to the
butcher where they belong. AS rule
fat cows will not give rich milk, be.
cause the fat of the food goes to the
body instead of the pail. The proof
ofthis, however, must not be taken from
the looks ofthings alone, but some kind
oftest like the Bibcock must be used.
For instance there is no more common
mistake than to suppose that cows Civ
ing very yellow milk are extra good
butter makers. There is no more
common delusion than to think that
yellow color goes with richness in
milk. Now, the fact is that yellow
milk contains no more, if as much,
butter fat as white milk Appear
ances are often deceptive in this line.
Cows with yellow skins are no better
for butter making than those with
white skins: common belief to the
contrary Notwithstanding. was once
principal performer in some inter-
esting experiments in this line. We
classified the Jerseys in herd, picked
out the yellow skinned mixers. The
whites made mora cream. Yellow
skin, and yellow milk generally go to-
gether. Gaernseys have more yellow
skins than Jerseys, but do not give
more cream OF make SO much butter.

whose lines have all the exquisite
softness and tenderness characteristic
of happy youthfulness. Unhappily,
this style of hair dressing is the most
trying of all ways. 1t apparently
adds years to the actual age. II the
face IS long, it makes its lengh more
conspicuous. II the brow is low, it
gives heaviness and seems to detract
from the spirituality and intellectual

No. 2 gives profile view of pretty
modification of the parted coiffure.
The hair is waved from the front, and
few light curls grace the forehead.
The full, low coil is especially adapted

ments OF fashion. This arrangement
of the hair Is especially felicitous for
an angular face, which needs the waves
and curls and coils to give it softness
and subdue hard lines.
Although the prevailing tendency
for hair dressing is herewith set forth,
it behooves every woman to consider
her individual needs in arranging her
"crown of glory" and to individualize
the fashion TO suit the shape OF her
head and the modelling of her face.

what they are pleased to term the
humdrum and drudgery of the farm.
1t is this mistaken idea of what con-
stitutes "humdrum" life that takes
SO many boys to the city. To some
minds it would seem far more free
and attractive occupation to plow and
SOW, ride the binder and even do the
"chores," than to work behind q
counter day after day. II is nearly
always to the farmers advantage to
keep his boys on the farm. They
naturally take more interest and will
do better work than hired help. But
very few boys are content to work at
home without a visible compensation
of some kind While, as said before,
much depends upon the kind of boy,
much also depends upon the kind OF
father. Boys will be boys, and the
father who realizes this is the one
| whose sons are content to stay on the
farm. Many fathers expect too much
of their sons, both as to their work
and their judgment. Their failures
too often call down quick and sharp
reproof. No bright, high-spirited boy
will bear being constantly found fault
with. II fathers would more often
make companions of their boys 1t
would be better If is neither wise
nor expedient for the father who
would keep his boys at home to keep
himself apart from them. 1 know Of
one instance in particular where
fathers and sons are almost insepara-
bic. In rides to town or on business,
side by side in the field, or with guns
and dogs, off for a days hunt, they
are always together. The fathers
whom have known to be most sue
cessful in keeping their sons on the
firm have early given them something
to particularly interest them in the
farm, share of the income in some
way, either of stock, or of money,
was their own to do with as they
chose. They were trusted with the
best team, and learned to take pride
in their work, to the mutual advantage
of both. Our most successful farmers
financially today are the ones whose
sons work at home. 1t is not to be
much wondered at that some boys de-
part as soon ms possible from their
fathers roof. Boys will have recrea-
tions and amusements, and if these
are not provided at home they will
seek them elsewhere. Some boys are
not to be kept at home by any means,
and it is better that these should go.
They may be more successful in some
other vocation and should be given a
chance to try. The majority, how
ever, may become contented and we'll
to-do farmers with proper encourage
ment and financial aid.
