Most of the diseases of fowls are duo to neglect.
 Give more animal and green food ir moulting time.
 The wise man learns by his exper. fence; the wisest by his own and that of others.
 The person who cannot run an old hen is more likely to have trouble with an incubator.
 Many failures in the poultry busi. ness comes from keeping 100 fowls where there is room for only 20.
 Insect powder may sometimes lodge in fowls eyes, and make a temporary soreness, but it is not dangerous.
 If your method of feeding gives good results, don't change it merely because you happened to read of someone who feeds differently.
 The seeds, bugs, etc., which fowls pick up on range are clear gain. They cost nothing but the fowls time, which is not worth much.
 Light, sandy soils are best for poul- try yards, as the rains carry many im- purities down into them deep enough to be harmless. Yards should often be spaded and houses whitewashed.
 Ducks get sore eyes from too much dampness or exposure. Put the afflicted bird in dry place and rub little vaseline or glycerine on the eyes.
 Sunfower seed retails at about 6 cents pound. It. is much cheaper to raise than to buy. The American kind is richer in oil than the Russian.
 One poultrywoman recommends grated nutmeg in chicks food to pre- vent or cnre diarrhoea. Powdered char coal, ginger or mustard are equally good and much cheaper. The same, of course, in larger quantities are good for adult birds.
 A case is reported where the effects of mating were seen four weeks after, instead of one or two weeks, as is usual. The hen was not laying when the mating occurred. More of them can be fertilized at time when em- bryo eggs are thus in ..cluster instead of in different positions and stages.
 Gadnersheim, a German village re- gently celebrated to honor hen which had laid her lOOOth egg. Many houses were decorated, while in the evening the hens owner treated his friends to omelet. But we are not told how many years the German biddy took for the job.
 Leg weakness is usually sign either of rheumatism or indigestion. In the case of laying hen it may arise from pressure of an unlaid egg upon some muscle. Pick up the hen, insert a generous amount of lard. sweet oil, hens oil or vaseline in the egg pas sage, then lay her in nest. Some times she will deposit her egg and be relieved in few minutes.
 The Canadian Experiment Station found the cost of dozen eggs to be something less than five cents when all the feed was bought, which is not far from my own experience. On farms, with good range and waste from other stock, the cost is nearer three cents.- California Cultivator.

The fire started in the bathroom Of the
Sanitarium building. probably about the
furnace. A still alarm was turned in,
but the first company Of firemen couli
not cope with the flames, which shot up
the elevator shaft to the roof like rockets.
A general call was sent in, but the fire
was beyond control. The water pressure
was low, and this added to the handicap
of the firemen, as the sanitarium stood on
hill. In two hours the building was in
ruins and the hospital was nearly de-
stroyed. 1t is almost miraculous that the
sleeping inmates escaped with their lives.
Watchmen darted through the corridors
awakening them when the fire was dis
covered. Few Of them had time to gather
together any clothing, escaping in their
nightclothes. The corridors soon filled
with smoke, and about half Of the pa
tients were compelled to make their way
down the fire escapes.
The management Of the sanitarium is
positive that no lives were lost. as each
room was visited three times by nurse
before the building was abandoned. The
building will be rebuilt Immediately.
