REMEDY FOR GAPES.
Applied Without Danger to the
Youngest Birds.

There are several remedies for
gapes, but the difficulty is that some
times the chicks must be handled. The
difficulty occurs mostly on farms upon
which fowls have been kept for years.
It is caused by collection of small,
threadlike worms in the windpipe Of
the chicken. 10 kill these worms and
not injure the chicken is laborious.
Take glass tube with small rubber
bulb (Which apothecaries sell for a
"medicine-dropper'D, half fill it with
camphorated oil, and inserting the tip
in the windpipe, discharge the oil. A
small oil can used for sewing machines
may serve in place of the medicine
dropper. Operate as follows: Place the
chicken back down between your knees
and hold it gently; open the bill and
draw the tongue. Seize the lower man
dible and tongue thus drawn out be-
tween the foreinger and thumbnail of
the left hand. This will bring into view
the opening into the windpipe at the
base of the tongue, into which gently
insert the tube and discharge the oil,
using about one drop. Close the bill
and hold the head still for few Sec
onds. Then let the chicken go, and it
will cough, scattering some of the oil
out, but enough remains to destroy the
worms, and they will be coughed up
and swallowed. The gapes continue for
some time after the treatment, but the
remedy will be effectual in every case
if properly applied, and it may be read
lily repeated, if considered worth while,
as often as necessary. After little
practice it is very easily applied and al
ways succeeds. A breadcrumb. upon
which is one or two drops of mixture
of camphorated oil and oil of turpen-
tine forced down the throat is some
times effectual, but it does not always
reach the windpipe. Pulling out the
worms with the strip of feather is
painful to the. chick.-Farm and Fire

WHEN A MONKEY IS A DOG.
How auckland, the Naturalist, Got
Some Good Pointers on
Animals.

A good story Of an amusing alteration
which once took place between Mr.. Frank
auckland and booking clerk is revived
The naturalist had been in France, and was
returning via Southampton with an over
coat stuffed with specimens of all sorts, dead
and alive. Among them was a monkey,
which was domiciled in large breast pocket.
As Buckland was taking his ticket, joke
thrust up his head and attracted the atten-
ton Of the booking clerk, who Immediately
and very properly said: You must have
ticket for that dog, if it's going with YOU"
"Dog?" said auckland, Indignantly; "it's
no dog, it's monkey:
TITS dog" replied the clerk.
ITS monkey" retorted auckland, and
proceeded to show the whole animal, but
without convincing the clerk, who insisted
on five shillings for the dog ticket to London
Naturally nettled at this, auckland
plunged his hand into another pocket and
produced a tortoise, and, laying it on the
sill of the ticket window, said: Perhaps
you'll call that dog, too?"
The clerk inspected the tortoise. "No,"
said he, "we make no charge for them
they insects!" Windsor Magazine.

NOTES FOR THE APIARY.

The greatest hindrance to large honey
crops is letting the bees run short Of
stores in spring.
When the brood-chamber becomes so
full of bees that they are somewhat
crowded for room, additional space
should be added.
We cannot look for much surplus
honey if we allow the bees to swarm at
will, because excessive swarming will
be the rule with them ,fs
A colony that is slow in building up
now may have defective queen or may
have none at all. An examination will
usually disclose the trouble.
Cross, singing bees are usually the
result of improper handling. Rough
treatment will not succeed, but will ir-
5ritate the bees almost beyond redemp-
ton. In handling do not kill bee if
you can possibly avoid it..
No one can get aong without bee
smoker when working with bees; even
a specialist does not think of handling
bees without it. The smoker is indis-
pensable, and many fail to perform the
work necessary by being without one.
1t is very erroneous idea that some
people have, that bees are always look
ing around for some one to attack and
sting. Bees as arule do not venture an
attack on anyone or anything. They
simply defend, when attacked, in a
vicious manner, and only make de-

PLEASANT DREAMS
| They Are Claimed by an English Ply
| clan to BE a Cure for Merry,
| Gus Maladies.

An English physician claims to have
discovered a new and efficacious cure
for persons afflicted with nervous or
mental maladies. If such persons, he
says, can only procure pleasant dreams
they will soon regain their health, and
his aim is, therefore, to furnish them
with delightful dreams.
For this purpose he uses a soft
leather cap, which covers the patients
head and ears and leaves only the face
uncovered. Beside the ears are placed
two metal plates, which are joined by
rubber tube to photograph. The
patient rests on divan in dark room.
and in front of him is sort of magic
lantern, from which are projected at
brief intervals various enjoyable pic
lures. In this way, it is claimed, the
eyes of the sick person are delighted,
while at the same time his ears are
soothed by the vibrations of the phono-
graph.
AS a result, WEAKNESS comes upon
him, and is soon followed by slumber,
and it is while he is doing in this man
ner that happy dreams are evoked,
thanks to the photograph and 9the
stereopticon. After this light slumber
comes a deep sleep, which, we are as
sured, is always most beneficial. H
Several tests Of this kind have been
made with success, and it is said that
not only are tired nerves refreshed by
this method, but that the patients body
also rapidly increases in weight. That
pleasant sounds and sights are sooth-
ing to the nerves we have all known
for long time, but that pleasant
dreams have tendency to make per-
sons fat will certainly be news to the
general public. Cincinnati Enquirer.
