GAPES IN CHICKENS.
To Effect Permanent Cure the Prem
Uses Must BE Cleared of All
AnEle.WOrns.

AS a preventive of gapes it is neces-
sary to rid the premises of the common
red or angle-worm, as their bodies are
usually infected with the cape germ,
says correspondent in Fancy Fowls.
Soon after the infected worm is swal-
lowed by chick the cape worm devel-
opes into small red colored worm
which crawls up in the throat and de-
sends into the lower bronchial tubes,
thereby closing the air passage so as to
cause the patient to cape for lack of a
sufficiency of air, and causing death
within a short time if the chick is not
relieved.
The best way to get rid of the angle
worm is to scatter quantity of strong
lire all over the poultry runs or yards
early every spring, and you will never
I have done this for the past five years
and have never had any chicks infected
with this malady since I began the
use of lime.
Lime is also a good disinfectant and
destroys other disease germs and YER
min. The lime is Also beneficial to lay
ing hens, as they get a portion of it in
picking up their foods as it aids in shell
formation.
When you notice one of your chicks
infected with gapes, if you will make
pill of gum camphor about the size of
small pea and force the patient to
swallow it, immediate relief will re-
suit, as the cape worm cannot stand the
fumes of camphor.

OZARK AGRICULTURE.

scientist was quite amazed the other day at
observing a farmer, after killing a nest of
snakes turned up by the plow, arrange tie
dead snakes in the furrow before he went
back to the pillow.
why did you do that, my good man,"
The scientist asked.
The farmer looked curiously ut the
scientist. and, seeing that he was really in
search of information, replied:

snakes on the next round"

Catching Rats on the Farm.

Set your steel trap in corn-sack.
Roll in the mouth of the sack until a
space is left just large enough to con-
tain the trap. The rat sees the ears
of corn through the trap, and in reach
ing for them strikes the pedal with
his nose. The trap is thus sprung so
as to catch him just behind the ears,
and his death is instantaneous. This
is more humane than catching him by
the leg and causing him to suffer all
night. I have caught three successive
~ in that way, and believe it will prove
successful in most cases. By the way,
there is no surer way to rid the prem
Uses of rats than by using a sack partly
filed with corn in the ear. You are sure
of one about every night until they are
exterminated.-Walt S. Smith, in

POULTRY YARD HINTS.

Do not thresh all the oats and wheat.
Leave enough in the sheaf to keep the
poultry in exercise next winter. Moth
ing like it.
Quarters should before this have been
arranged for laying pullets, so that dis
turbing them will not be necessary.
Once they begin to lay they should
never be moved, else the laying will be
checked at once.
A quick and thorough way to put
imewash over the inside of house is
to use small bucket spray pump:
Turn the unused coops upside down
and treat them to a shower bath and
then store under cover.
It is bad p actice to feed fowls about
the stable door or to do anything to get
them into the habit of frequenting the
barn and stables. Horses and hens
should be kept apart.-Farm Journal.

EARLY AND LATE CORN.
Farmers Should Plant Both kinds
and Turn the Live stock
Into the Fields.

Farmers should plant corn both early
and late, some kind Of flint corn that
will ripen early, planting from one to
ten acres according to the amount Of
stock KEEP, in place convenient to the
yard so the cattle and hogs can be
turned in on it. Then there should be
another piece to turn into when this is
eaten down. This may seem like a
slovenly way of doing, but it should be
remembered the hnsking Of the corn is
the most expensive part of growing the
crop. It costs from three to five cents
per bushel to husk and put it in the
crib and then it has to be shoveled out
again. OF course part Of the corn will
have to be husked to be fed later on in a
good yard, for here is where great part
of the profit comes in. Some may think
it costs too much to build fences to keep
stock in the corn fields, but good fence
will last at least IS years. The stock can
be turned in the field just as soon as the
corn begins to glaze. Stock fed in this
way will gain faster than when fed dry
corn, but care should be taken not to
leave them in the field too long at first.
They should not be turned into a field
of green corn in poor condition or the
result might be damaging and the prof.
it's from feeding in this way lost. When
the corn is in proper condition to cut q
part of the crop should be cut, either
with machine or by hand, and shocked
nicely in the field to be fed later with
out husking; this saves labor also, and
makes nice lot of feed to be fed out in
the winter. There is also good profit
in feeding sheep in the same way, that
is turn them in the corn field in the fall
and cut up corn and feed them through
the winter. Iwintered 100 sheep in that
way last winter and I never had sheep
do so well before. In order to get the
most profit out of corn it is necessary to
save as much labor as possible. There
are many ways of feeding corn at a
profit this time of year. Pastures are
getting short for the dairy cow and if a
little corn that was planted for that
purpose is cut and fed to the COWS every
night it will help out the pasture and
also the milk pail. There is no doubt
but what there is more profit in feeding
the corn on the farm if the farmer owns
his farm and manages in the right way,
but renter on farm for one year had
better sell his grain and other products.

Simple Treatment for Roup.

If your fowls are affected with roup
I can recommend the following treat
ment as an infallible remedy: Go to
your druggist and purchase five or ten
cents worth of peroxide of hydrogen.
If the affected birds nostrils are
stopped up, clean them out, and with
small syringe inject some of tie
hydrogen into them; also swab the
throat with feather saturated with
the hydrogen. Then take small cloth
wet in the hydrogen and battle the
head. Repeat this treatment two or
three times daily until the fowl is cured,
which it will be in two or three days,
except in cases of long standing. Ihave
cured chickens that had the roup so
badly that their tongue were swollen
so that they were forced to hold their
beaks open.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Breeding I'm Means Success.

The farmer should lose no time in
breeding up all along the line. The de-
mand is especially strong for good
stock and the products of good stock
all along the line. There is a ready sale
for good horses, cattle, dairy cows,
swine and sheep; and it is useless for a
farmer to attempt to compete with those
who have learned the lesson that there
is no, money. in scrub live stock, unless
he too has learned the lesson. Inferior
horses and inferior meats will never
again find even as profitable market
as they; once did.-Epitomist.

Money in Angora Goats.

For many years past in many Of the
western states and also in sections
farther east, experiments have been
made with the Angora goats, and the re-
suits indicate that the breeding of them
will be profitable in any section where
sheep are successfully raised. These
goats breed and mature about the same
time as sheep, and require much the
same treatment. The fleece of the An
CORA goat is worth about 20 per cent.
more than that of sheep, and their flesh
is considered by epicures as superior to
mutton. They do sell better than sheep,

price, and the pelt much more. Angoras
and sheep may be raised together, as
they never cross breed.-Journal of
