Cholera In the Henhouse.

Italy has for the past few months
been suffering from an epidemic of
cholera, and since November there
have been 100000 deaths in the
neighborhood of Milan alone. That is
rather an alarming state of things,
though the scourge is not q visitation
of the human race, but merely affiicts
the barnyard. Chicken farming, 1t
seems, is comparatively new indus
try in Italy, and this outbreak of chol-
era among the fowls, which is probably
due to some preventable cause, is nat
urally causing very serious trouble and
anxiety to those engaged in rearing
them. The disease has spread to the
Royal park at Monza, and 1000 birds.
chiefly pheasants, have already been
laid low. AS pheasant is a favorite
article of diet with the king he is great
ly concerned, and when he heard of the
1000 deaths in his own henhouse he
is said to have exclaimed, II shall have
to turn vegetarian incident which
ought to bring comfort and joy to the
devotees of the vegetable cult. The
epidemic in Italy will doubtless be
viewed with considerable anxiety in
countries which buy the products of
the Italian barnyards. Italy's fowl ex-
ports are of a yearly value Of 100000

DUCKS AND DUcKLINGS.

A Few Condensed Bits of InfOrma-
tion For the Breeder.
Bed well.
Ducks cannot stand filth.
The Rouen is the show duck.
The drinking vessel must be deep.
Ducks do not take kindly to nest
boxes.
The duckhouse should be well venti-
lated.
The exclusive duck farm is becoming
more scarce.
Broilers and ducklings make strong
combination.
Hot suns will kill more ducklings
than anything else.
After breeding season the ducks can
be run in one flock.
Too many brakes in the flock are apt
to injure the ducks.
The cross of Pekin on Aylesbury
makes a good laying family.
The English poulterers mate two to
three ducks to a drake.
Duck feathers sell at about one-half
the price of goose feathers.
Protection from hot suns and heavy
rains are important matters In duck

Mr.. Palmer says the Pekin duck is a
great layer Of fine eggs, but has not

turity of the Aylesbury, though equal
In growth.
English Poultry says: The Cayuga
has certainly claims as utility duck,
the meat being Of fine flavor, but we
cannot say that it has an attractive
appearance on poulterer's slab.
The French greatly appreciate the
high quality of the American Cayuga
duck, and yet in this country but few
Cayugas are bred. Certainly this is a
product we are not overproud Of
The great secret of fattening duck
lings is to be early, and this can only
be attained by keeping the stock ducks
young, says George A. Palmer, Even
as In fowl we get the winter eggs from
the pullets, so ducks of the first year
will commence laying long before the
older ones. We lind in practice that
it does not answer to keep stock ducks
more than two years. They should
be Matched in March and kept after the
first few weeks at liberty, as the OBJ
ject heEp is to build up frame and con-
stitution. 1t is never wise to breed
from young, immature stock on both
sides, and the finest young will be pro-
duced by mating the 1-year-old ducks
to a 2-year-old drake. Yet to insure
fertility 1t is sometimes necessary to
use a drake of the first year for the
early months.-A Few Hens.

Tip Burn or scaId.

This disease of potato leaves occurs
in many parts of the country and is of
ten confused with early blight. The
tips and edges of the leaves turn
brown, and these discolored areas soon
become hard and brittle.
The burning or scalding may occur
Mt any time, and as rule Is the result
of unfavorable conditions surrounding
the plant. Long continued cloudy and
damp weather followed by several hot
and bright days Is very apt to result in
the burning Of the foliage. This is es-
pecially the case ON soils carrying a
comparatively small percentage of
moisture. When the weather Is cloudy
and damp. the tissues of the potato
become gorged with water, and this
has tendency to weaken them. If
the sun appears bright and hot when
the leaves are In this condition, there
is rapid evaporation of the moisture
stored up In their cells. The evapora-
ton may be faster than the supply
furnished by the roots, and If this con-
tinues for any length of time the weak
er and more tender parts first collapse.
then die and finally turn brown and
dry up. Tip burn may also occur as
the result of protracted dry weather,
Every effort should be made to keep
the plants in good growing condition,
for If they become checked through
lack of proper food or cultivation or
both they are more apt to burn. 1t is
a fact that where the bordeaux mix
ture Is used for other diseases burn is
less apt to occur.

rangement is that the bag holder may

One thing that must be borne in
mind in making these bag holders is
that they must not be so high above
the ground that the bag will be sus-

SWALLOWS THE CAMERA.
Method of Photographing Interior of
Mans Stomach.

Chicago, July 4.-Photograp hing the
interior Of a mans stomach, an expert
ment which has hitherto been attended
with so many failures as to be cOnsid-
cred almost among the impOssibilities,
has been successfully performed in this
city. The inner walls of the stomach of
James G. Foster, a wealthy lumberman
of Cleveland, O., were successfully
photographed, with the result that a
large tumOr was discovered to have
formed in the organ, which, according
to the physicians in attendance would
have caused his death in a short time.
Mr.. Foster has left for Cleveland, tax
ing the photograph with him and with
it said he will be operated on by a
Cleveland physician.
The apparatus used in taking the pic
ture consists of a rubber tube one
eighth of an inch in diameter and about
8 feet long. AT the end of the tube is
a rubber bulb, the walls of which are as
thin as it is possible to make them,
pearance of a toy balloon. The interior
of the bulb is coated with a photo
graphic emulsion and acts as one plate
on which the picture is taken The
patient is made to swallow the bulb
which is then inflated by means Of air
blown into the tube until the bulb en-
tirely fills the stomach, its flexible sides
conforming to the walls of the stomach
An X-ray exposure is then made, the
tube is Withdrawn and the picture on
the thin rubber bulb is developed as an
ordinary A-ray photograph.
