Tapsworms Of Poultry;

Il has been known for years that
tapeworms infest domesticated poultry,
and that in, some cases they cause seri-
Gus epizootics among fowls. The out
breaks thus far recorded have occurred
chiefly in Europe, and 40 q natural out
come almost the entire work which has
been published on these parasites ID the
result Of European investigations. The
literature upon the subject u accord
ingly in Latin. German, French, Danish,
Italian. ETC.. while in the English Lam
guage we have only few short mo-
ttces concerning these worms. Generic
and specific diagnoses Of the parasites
OF this group are almost unknown ar
ticles In the English language, while
as yet we have absolutely no reliable
data as to how many species Of tape
worms are found in American poultry.
Several outbreaks Of tapeworm dis
ease have been noticed in fowls in DIFF
ferent parts of the country. and upon
various occasions specimens have been
sent to the bureau for Identification.
From q table showing 80 recorded
species It was noted that 6 different
tapeworms have been recorded from
pigeons. 2 from turkeys, IL from chick
ems. from swans. 2 from geese, 10
from ducks and / from an ostrich. One
form has been recorded as common to
pigeons, chickens and ducks, & forms
a. common to ducks and geese. 1 form
as common to geese and swans. / n
common to pigeons and ducks, and 1
20 common to pigeons and chickens.
The treatment Of tapeworm disease
In the domesticated fowls must for the
present be more or less experimental,
as the records in this line are extreme
" limited. The first rule to be carried
out in all cases Of diseased animals.
whether chickens. turkeys. geese, ducks
OF others, is to isolate them from the
rest Of the flock and keep them con-
dned until they have recovered. The
second rule is to destroy the droppings
OF all animals known to be infected
with parasites, or IL the manure is
needed as fertilizer It should be treat
ed in such manner as to kill the oya.
These two rules can be easily carried
out, and IL a poultry raiser or a stock
:aiser is not willing to set aside a
small yard for the isolation Of the sick
animals, where their droppings can be
easily collected and taken care of ey-
cry day, 1t is almost useless for him to
administer anthelmintics to his fowls
or other animals. The chief drugs
used against tapeworms are: Extract
Of male fern, turpentine. powdered
kamala, areca nut, pomegranate root
bark. pumpkin seeds and sulphate Of
copper (bluestone).

Long RoWs.-The possible gain in
time of cultivation due to the length
ening Of rows is greater than any sup
pose who have not tested the matter.
BY the watch find that when rows arc
eighty rods long an acre is cultivated
in three-fourths Of the time required
for cultivating in rows thirty rods long.
Long rows make work easier for man
and team. II we would compete with
the west we must plan for long, mar
row fields instead Of the little square
ones usually seen. The tilling Of open
bitches and abandonment Of useless
fences makes this possible on q major
ity Of farms. Experience has taught
me that the saving Of money due to re-
moval of fences was truly not needed,
the gain from cultivation Of fence-rows
and the gain in rapidity Of cultivation
where rows are long, amount in the ag-
gregate to nice. sum Of money! sum

Profitable Cows.-Which Is the most

food account. we find that the cost of
food in both cases was practically the
same. yet one COW lad the ability to
make three times the profit upon prac-
tically the same food. There are cows
in every herd that have this ability:
find them out. in these days Of keen
competition we must reduce the cost
of production, and this aspect Of the
question should always b taken into

The trapeze performer who walks head
downward on the ceiling or on a suspended
board cannot properly be called a magician,
but her act belongs among tricks and not
among gymnastics. This Human Fly, as she
is usually called on circus posters, has
pneumatic contrivances on the soles of her
feet She is obliged to walk slowly ana TO
take short steps. The mechanical attach
ment is an India rubber sucker" with a
cup-shaped surface.
You will perhaps be surprised TO learn
that fire eating is not trick. but is made
possible by the hardening of the skin
through oft-repeated action. Sword swaI-
lowing is also an actual fact. There are, OF
course. some sword swallowers who employ
articles, but the majority really introduce
into their mouth and food passage the
blades that they cause TO disappear. ms
act is not wholly unlike the partial swal-
lowing of long vulcanized rubber tubes by
invalds to whom food cannot be admins
tered in the usual way.
There are some performers with knives so
expert that they can actually throw KNIVES
so close to a human being standing against
a board that they outline the inquire with
the knives. but in the majority OF instances
the act is a trick. Every time the performer
goes through the act of throwing me
chanical contrivance operated by the per.
son standing against the board, causes
knife concealed behind the board TO drop
into position with a click.
So-called mental magic, or second sight'
in which person whose eyes are blindtold-
ed, appears to have a mental vision OF OBJ,
jects held in the magicians hand, IS based
upon a system of catchwords or letters IN
the sentences which the magician speaks.
This was one of Hellers great perform
ances and in order to prevent detection or
the system he, so to speak. mixed up the
alphabet For instance, Fl stood for A ana
d for n and the admonition Hurry up
meant ''reDeat the last letter.
Suppose Heller wanted his blindfolded as
sistant, Fred Hunt, jr., or his sister Haidee
Heller, to give him the name that was en-
graved in q ring, and suppose that name 70
have been Anna. He would say Here is
the name. Do you see it? Hurry up! Have
you got it?"
Attention was paid only to the first letter
of every sentence Examine the above and
YOU will Sc that the cue is given for the

ton of N, and the H in Have" the final

at the end of Heller's mind reading trick.

tricks I have described, the audience re-
tired all the more cheerfully for the fact
that it knew it had been fooled. The world
over. frank and agreeable fooling of the
public is profitable and probably will con-
tinue to be till the worlds end. And so we

Read up on United States history-you

and just as good. If you can light upon an
idea which has not been done to death, or
a situation unhackneyed or unfamiliar.
make the most of ii. New England has
been so run upon that it affords material
only to a few experts; the Middle States
and those between the Ohio and the Rock
field; but the South and the far West are
not worked out yet. Avoid dialect; a
main reliance. its day is done. Avoid the
"hifalutin,' spread-eagle and rip-roaring
styles; they are of the yet remoter past.
Don't write tales of literary life till you
know it as thoroughly as Mr.. Howells does.
Find out what your bent is. If you have
any and what you have to say, if anything
if not seek other pursuits. Remember that
a poor story or essay is of less value than
q peck of inferior apples and that the au-
thor of a bad novel IS entitled TO no more
respect than a shoemaker or farmer who
does not understand his business. The pio-
neers of our literature may have done what
now seems poor work, but we knew no bet
ter then and had nothing better; they were
pioneers, and such entitled to a place in
history; but nobody is going to write the
history of the multifarious literary efforts
of our time that come TO nothing.
Whatever you do, take pains with it. Try
at least TO write good English; learn to
best under every sentence. If you are too
lazy and careless TO do that, better go into
trade or politics; ii is easier to become a
congressman or millionaire than a real au-
thor, and we have too many bad story tell
ers as 1t Is.
