Fowl Typhoid.

The microscope. in the hands OF
specialists. is beginning to bring or
der out of the chaos in our knowledge
OF fowl diseases. Fowl typhoid mas
been found by the Rhode Island sta
tion to be very prevalent in that part
OF the country. In one case the dis-
ease broke out among 1000 fowls on
one farm, and carried of 500 OF them
in few weeks. 1t was found, after
good deal Of laboratory work. that the
disease was caused by rodshaped
bacillus. 1t is quite different from the
germ Of fowl cholera, which Is va
RANT of the rabbit septicaemia, TO
which the goose septicaemia belongs.
The experiments demonstrated that
the bacilli were fatal for rabbits and
hens and that guinea pigs resisted 1t.
Hens that were fed germs died, while
one inoculated under its skin did not.
In nature the germ is taken up by the
hen as a contamination OF the 1000 OF
water, enters the intestine and gains
access to the body through the in
testinal wall. probably through
wound.
In the course of the disease. few
hens are noticed to be sick for many
days. So virulent is the typhoid
germ that it usually kills the victim
in less than two weeks after Its at
tack, or, as stated by DR.. Moore, IN
from eight to fifteen days when fed
either in cultures or viscera OF dis
eased fowls. Many cases probably re-
cover and become source of danger,
owing to the spread of bacilli which
they may harbor after the acute stage
of the disease is run. Such cases re-
main thin and weak for long time II
allowed to live.
Inasmuch as one possible method Of
Introducing the disease Is through
purchases, it will always be necessary
for purchasers to inquire into the his
tory of the flocks from which addi-
tions are to be made, and especially to
examine into the condition of fowls
1t is often better in any case to keep
new purchases by themselves for some
weeks or until it is apparent that they
are healthy.

corn.stalk Diseases and Microbes.

Corn-Stalk Diseases and Microbes.
From Farmers Review: see by
note in The Chicago Record Herald of
Dec. 13, 1902, that "One of the scien-
fists declares that leziness is disease
due to the presence of a microbe. Now
at least we know which microbe has
the greatest circulation on earth" In
the same paper, an editorial on the
TOY Trust" states that "a few
years ago the psychologists advised
us to boil the children's Christmas
toys in order to sterilize them" This
has been the wettest season ever
known in the history of Putnam coun-
ty, Illinois. All the sloughs and creeks
have been full of water all the time
and hence no stock of any kind has
suffered for want Of plenty to drink
Last year was about the dryest season
we remember of, and these conditions
were just the reverse. have not
read, nor heard Of, after inquiring a
good deal, of a single critter lost this
fall by the so-called corn stalk dis
ease" and last year there were scores
duu SSolCo VI SdtllS llOESeS all
over the country lost by the corn
stalk disease" I suppose the scien-
fists would explain this by saying that
that particular microbe which pro.
duces the ''corn-stalk disease did not
happen to have any circulation at all
this present season. Surely this must
be so, for If that kind of microbe had
any circulation some one must have
sterilized all the corn-stalks this fall.
AS l said in The Farmers Review last
year, use little judgment when first
letting cattle in a stalk field in a dry
season. Always have good tank
heater, plenty of pure. warm water
and salt, and you will always block
the circulation of the miscrobes com.

For Most PROFIT,

From Farmers Review: Usually
In the fall the poultry round up takes
place, the surplus stock is disposed of,
II not it should, and while this is fresh
in the mind let's look at the pure bred
VS.. the scrub from the weigh point of
view. One chick weighs five pounds.
another, same age and care, four
pounds; one hen weighs seven and
half; another, same age and feed, six
pounds; if both sets are sold the same
day at eight cents per pound one can
easily figure the profitable weighers.
If one las the B. P. Rocks and another
mike sorts, the weights will be mucN
as Jove in favor Of the Rocks, often
m're difference, and the Rocks are as
/isily raised and fattened as the mixed
fand will lay as many or more eggs be-
fore marketing. With other breeds
and mixed chicks there will be a great
er difference-the Brahmas and Coch
ms will give larger weight with per-
haps fewer eggs, but they are easier
raised. The Leghorns and Minorcas
will not weigh so much. but the egg
yield will be much larger. 'Dottes
about the same as the Rocks.
The difference in above weights will
often spell the profit or loss when the
account is balanced.
While thinking over this, 60 little
farther and invest in as many pure
'breds as you can, not necessarily prize
winners. but good farm birds. Don't
expect to get prize winners for 81
each. nor expect to get pure breds of
any sort at price of mixed. If they
are worth more than the common sort,
cheerfully pay reasonable price,
Don't covet the nice birds, but hold
on to the purse so tight that like a per-
son heard Of, kick against the price
of setting of pure bred eggs in May,
then in August swap" with one of the
children from the market basket Per.
haps it will be we'll to state they did
no good; how could they? Justice is
mot always blind. Don't make light of
a neighbor's flock of pure breds, then
If the chance comes make a sly ex.
change-the bird might be "doctored''
like the eggs. Strive to get the best
but get it honestly.-Emma Clear.

REFUSED TO SELL A RELIC.
Widow Of Late Napoleon Ney Has
Document Vindicating Marshal.

Widow Of Late Napoleon Ney Has
Document indicating Marshal.
Nine. Napoleon Ney, widow of the
late Napoleon Ney, who was one of
the committee of Frenchmen sent to
the United States to present the
statue of liberty to the sister republic.
has been offered a fabulous sum for
a unique Ney-Napoleonic relic.
1t is the official document issued by
the Second Republican habilitating the
memory of the great Marshal Ney.
He was the grandfather of Nine. Ney's
husband.
Marshal Ney was shot after the bat
tie of Waterloo, when the English and
Prussians held Paris and brought back
Louis XVIII.
He was shot because Louis sent him
out to capture Napoleon when return
ing from Elba, and instead of trying
to capture he embraced his old leader.
b Nine. Ney refuses all offers for the
precious document. for it was the wish
of her husband thta it should be left
to the Museum of the Army after her
death.

Lime as Egg Preserver.

After shaking and settling the lime
the clear solution was drawn off for
use in the test. On May 1S, 1899,
twenty Leghorn eggs, laid during the
five days May 18th to 10th, were
washed and placed in a stone jar, and
the solution Of lime and salt poured
over them until all the eggs were fully
surrounded and covered by the
liquid. Result: Good, 100 per cent:
bad, per cent. This jar was opened
May 80, 1900. The surface of the
liquid was crusted, and considerable
silt had settled to the bottom of the
jar. The shells of the eggs which were
sunken in the silt appeared very
fresh. The exteriors of the shells were
clean and clear. The air cells were
not increased in size. The whites and
yolks were normal in appearance. The
whites beat up nicely, but had a slight
ly saline taste Several used as
dropped eggs appeared to be nice. but
had slightly sharp taste. This old.
fashioned method of preserving eggs
is thus again proved effective.-R. |.
