COMBATING DISEASE.
Why Dfsinfectants Should Be Used
Literally and with Regularity
in Poultry Yards.

When roup has become established
on a farm the germs remain in the
soil for months, depending on the
kind of roup, however, as the term is
used to apply to consumption, diph-
liberia, scrofula, etc. The entire
premises should be disinfected two
or three times, drenching the house,
floors and roosts, grounds, ETC., with
a mixture made of one pouSld of cop
peras and bluestone (sulphate of cop
PERI, each dissolved in ten gallons of
hot water, then adding one pint of
sulphuric acid. Kill all the birds and
get others that are known to be
healthy. The labor of handling sick
birds is too costly when the whole
flock Is attacked. Prevention is bet
ter than cure. Diseases are not al
ways contagious. When some mem
Der of the flock seems to have an all
ment, and no others are affected, it
cause peculiar to the individual. For
instance, when one of the fowls
twists it's neck around, seems to
shake it's head, cannot eat or is help
less, it Is difficult to arrive at cor
rect knowledge of the cause. But it
may be rheumatism from dampness,
pressure of blood on the brain from
high feeding, or an injury. The only
remedy then is to keep the fowl quiet
on straw, and feed only once day
on lean meat. If it does not soon re-
cover it will be of no value except for
the pot. Do not waste time with
birds that are always sick.-Farm
and Fireside.

LONG-TONGUED BEES.
Very Few of the Insects Now ON the
Market Can Master the Red
Glover Blossoms.

We are now putting forth an unusual
effort to improve the honey bee in
length of tongue. Beekeepers are after
the red clover honey crop, of which the
tubes of the blossoms are so deep the
bees cannot reach the nectar in them.
1t is well Known that the common red
clover is the heaviest nectar-producing
plant known, and the honey from it is
of fine quality.
1t has been discovered that an occa-
sional colony of bees work on red clover
blossoms, and in some instances have
stored a large surplus from this we'll
known plant. Beekeepers have taken
the hint from this, and have made in
vestigations to find that some bees have
longer tongues than others. and on this
account are able to reach the honey in
the red clover tubes.
1t was said that the Italian bees could
master the red clover blossoms. and the
job was placed in their hands. but after
some big stories of imagination and the
lapse of time it was discovered that but
very small per cent. of bees worked
ments of the tongues of bees, it has been
discovered that there is variation all
the way from fifteen one-hundredths to
twenty-three one-hundredths of an
inch. the last-named being very rare.
1t seems that if we can attain the
length of twenty-five onehundredths
of an inch. and have all the bees come
up to this standard, the red clover crop
is ours. Beekeepers have already be-
gun the work to attain this improve
ment by select breeding, and judging
from other Improvements obtained in
different ways by line breeding of the
italian bees, this improvements not
an impossibility.
The honey that would be obtained
from red clover if the bees could get it,
would add largely to the total crop Of
this country.-A. NJ. Duff, in National
Rural,
