Gapes.

c. E. Matteson: We have disease
called "gapes," which is usually
brought into our fiocks by the impor'
tat,on of some affected bird. AS to
the exact cause we are somewhat at
sea, but it is claimed by the best au-
thoritie- that the earth-worms con-
tanning the embryo are eaten by the
chicks; the embryos are liberated
from the earth-worms in the digestive
organs and find their way to the lungs
and thence to the windpipe. where
they fasten themselves and multiply
very rapidly. The faster they multi
ply the more difficult the breathing,
and IL this is allowed to go on the
bird will soon choke to death. |
recommend only two treatments.
First, to catch all the affected chicks.
take few at time and place them In
a barrel where you have already
placed some air-slacked lime. Cover
with cloth and cause the chicks to
fiutter slightly. BY doing this they
inhale a great deal of this lime dust,
and in this way the worms are not
only killed but coughed up by the
chickens.
Another treatment is to take pri-
mary feather from the wing Of the
fowl. strip it smooth nearly to the tip.
insert this quickly into the windpipe,
give 1t quick twist, and draw out.
In this way in majority OF cases you
will remove a whole bunch Of cape
worms. When chicks are affected with
this malady they should be removed
to fresh grounds quite frequently.

Care in PedIaree Making.

pedigrees are put off until the last

ter of pedigrees. II there was a gen.
orally better standard of excellence In
the matter of making peoigrees, breed
ers would not be so liable to accept
from others pedigrees on which there
are serious defects. The rules now
require all dates of sale. This is one
thing that is frequently left on of a
pedigree. not to mention the more
important things, such as the entire
omission of date Of farrow or a
failure to sign the pedigree. have

to run out of doors and have free &C

that they maintained their weight on
an average when eating 1876 pounds
of good alfalfa hay per day per 1,0Ot

some straw. The amount Of straw re

was next studied. and 1t was found
that the daily ration eaten was 1875

The Sheep In Winter.

In sheep husbandry there is one
thing that must be observed and no
overlooked, and that is thrift, writes
Jacob :slegler. Thrift means health
gain in quality, quantity and produc
tiveness, hence profit, and profit IL
what we are after. 1t should always
be the object c: the flock master t.
keep his sheep in thriving condition
The quality Of the wool as well as it,
quantity and the general productive
ness Of the flock demand this system
Now the question is, what are the
essentials Of thrift? I say good feed
water. shelter and close attention o.
the shepherd. 1t is the worst possible
practice to allow the sheep to fall
away in flesh as the grass fails in the
autumn. The increasing wool con
ceals the shrinking carcass much tc
the disappointment of the careless
fockmaster. Better confine them In
the yard than to allow them to ramble
about in some field in search of food
which furnishes little green feed but
too light to be Of any real value
For winter fodder there is nothing bet
ter Than fine early cut clover; cut
when in bloom and well cured. Hay
from old meadows consisting OF 8
variety of grasses is very good. Sowet
or thickly drilled corn for fodder, cut
and well shocaed in good season, Is
also splendid feed. Good corn stovei
is a good and cheap feed. A feed Of
bright oats straw two or three times
a week can be given to good advant
age, and the leaving of the straw anc
stalks makes splendid yard and
good absorbent Of the manure. Brigh'
sheaf oats fed once or twice a weeh
in racks is also an excellent feed. II
answers for both grain and fodder.

GOT THE BRIDES CARRIERS.
Eight Fair Ones Giaddened by the
Lucky Talismsn.

Lucky Talisman.
The fashionable Riverside Drive
district is tittering over the original
ity of a young bride last week, whose
gifts to her eight bridesmaids were
garters. Each girl received single
garter. The bride was deep in ar
rangements before the wedding, wheI
one of the Danish servants told her O
popular superstition in her nativ,
land. The maid said the very essence
of good luck, both for bride an.
Bridesmaid, might be accomplished b,
the bride giving the left garter to he.
attendant after the wedding cere
mony. The Riverside Drive belle
thought the superstition delightful
and being somewhat "faddish," she
decided to try the Danish talisman
But" cried the girl, Il have eigh
bridesmaids and only one left garter!'
This predicament she confided to hel
fiance, blushing prettily as she spoke
the uncomfortable word. The man
solved the problem In moment. He
told her to wear eight pairs of carriers
for eight days, and on the wedding
day to wear all left eight garters. In
this way each bridesmaid might re
ceive an acclimated garter, teeming
with good luck. The ceremony was
fiourishing. and before the white
robed bride slipped into her going
away gown she called her faithful
bridesmaids to a retiring room
Girls" she said, here is your gift.
Then she unclasped eight left carriers
that encircled her silk hose and each
girl received her talisman. A still
worse dilemma was when the ushers
asked the bridesmaids what theil
bridal gifts were. They answered
Something lucky"

The Sow at Farrowina Time.

be given In the morning and evening.
After that the feed should be gradu.

does not get any feed that will be too
rich for her or that will act as purge,
as the little pigs will be subjected to
the same condition. Her feed should
be such that large flow of milk will
result. A good ration to produce
good flow of milk Is slop composed
Of equal parts OF middlings and gluten

possible after narrowing the oats
should be used very sparingly, as it
