was in Corvallis Wednesday. He
relates a peculiar experience which
his wife had with two of her chick

became quite sick and this thrifty
German frau did not propose to let
it die without an investigation as to
the cause of its illness Acting
under this impulse, she placed the
sick chicken upon the operating |
table, and with a sharp knife made
an incision in the breast and re-
moved the craw In this organ was
found about four inches of hemp
rope. This was taken ont, the
craw and outer skin were sswed up
and the chicken is we'll and hearty
today. A few weeks ago another
chicken fell i'll. The same investi-
CATION disclosed the same ailment-
four inches of rope-the same reme-
dy was applied and the same re-
suit followed.
