GAPEs IN CHICKENS.

There are so many remedies recon-
mended for gapes in chickens, and all
Of them said to be effective. that It
looks as if there is no need OF chick
ems dying of the cape worm All
agree that the immediate cause OF
gapes is small worms that collect IN
the chickens throat, but as to wnat
causes this worm, Or how it Is propa-
gated from year to year, are questions
that are the foundation or ABOUT as
many theories as there are remedies
Some attribute the cape worm 10
chicken lice, others to allowing chick
ems free access to old chip yards. The
first theory seems unreasonable, ex-
cept that the lice will weaken the vital
ity of the chicken so that it is not as
able to overcome the gapes as IL
would if it had no lice. AS to tne
second theory, I will say that our
chickens have free access to the Oldest
chip yard in this part of the country
and we are about the only ones that
are not bothered with the gapes. Have
we not reasonably good ground for
aguing that old chip yards are pre-
ventive for gapes?
No, it would rather indicate that the
chip yard has nothing to do with
gapes. I had so many inquiries about
the cause and remedy for gapes IN
chickens, some time ago, that l went
to some trouble to get views OF the
authorities at several Experiment Sta
tons. From the replies / learned that
1t was generally accepted that the
cape worm lived over winter as
parasite of the angle worm, and that
when a poultry yard once got infested.
about the only practical remedy was
to remove the poultry to fresh grouni.
The chickens get the worms by eating
the angle worms If farm never gets
the gaps worm started in the ground,
of course there wills'not be any gapes,
no matter how old the chip yard IS;
but If the cape worms once get start
there will be gapes whether there is
a chip yard or not. The cape worm
will not stop to consider whether his
host is lousy or not, nor he does not
seem to care who is made to bear the
responsibility for his ravages. The
only thing that he seems to care for
is to be allowed to go on undisturbed
in his course Of destruction.-A. J.
Legg, in the Epitomist.

Tomorrow Morning at the Coliseum
A Word to Ticket Holders.

Those Of our own citizens who have
not already secured their season tick
cts and who want good seats for the
May Music Festival should remember
two or three things. First Of all, the
chorus and orchestra takes up so
much room that the usual seating ca
pacity of the coliseum is reduced by
nearly five hundred, so the amount
of available room is not by any
means unlimited. Then the reports
from agents indicate that the attend
ance from out of town will be even
larger than was anticipated.
Season tickets are cheaper than
single admissions for those who can
attend only two out Of the three
concerts and give the holders two
days in advance for selection of
seats. The details of the plan adopt
ed for the reservation of seats has al
ready been published and will be
fully explained tomorrow morning

The meeting was called to order by
State Chairman Goodrich.
Hon. James E. Watson who was
made permanent chairman of the
convention, spoke as follows:
We are on the event of great po
litical struggle. Vital issues are a
stake, stupendous interests are involv
ed, the country will be thorough,
aroused and we shall be expected t.
prove our right to win. When eacl
party presents itself to the electoral,
and seeks support the questions tha
will naturally arise in the mind o
each intelligent voter are: Upol
what do you base your claims? Wha
have you done to deserve recognition
What have you achieved to meri
success? For answer to these ques
tions the Republican party gladly ap
peals to the past and challenges tn
Democracy to meet it on that issue
And that is the only rational way il
which this momentous problem cal
be solved; for, "by their fruits =
shall know them.' The Biblical
standard Of merit applies with equa
force to parties and to men. An or
ganization, like and individual, mus
either stand or fall by its record. TIL
only just way of judging the futur
of party is by its past. The onl
real way to tell what party will d
is to see what that party has done
Promises for the future amount t
nothing unless promises in the pas
have been redeemed, unless they ar
backed up by a record of faithfr
performance. And how proud we ar
to meet this test. ~ zsa ss,
