Henry.

"Ten cents"
Hum! Do you know that ten

"Wel. it seems to me it would be
better if you gave some thought to

Later in the evening Henry hap
pened to pick up the paper his wife

brought up the cigar question. A

INExPLICABLE DISEASES.

All through the country, those WIZ
keea poultry are troubled now ane
then by the death of birds, TOT which
there seems to be no explanation. "A
case differing from those usually seen
came to my notice last week. A Two
year-old male was brought to an eA-
pert for examination. The bird was
moping about. 'off his feed" with
comb shrunken and appearing cnoked'
much as a victim Of canker in the
windpipe would seem.
No canker or other sign OF roup
appeared, and, as the crop was mucn
distended with it as 70 appear a.mos'
eaten for TWO days, l could get no
nearer than indigestion" to the cause
of the sickness. AS it did not I'M
prove, next day the bird was killed
and dissected. From his mouth to
the entrance to the gizzard he was
full of barley, the stomach being SO
distended with it as to appear almost
like a second crop. In health tne
stomach is only rounded expansion
of the tube from crop to gizzard, anu
1t is lined with wnitiSh membrane
thickly covered with little points liKe
pimples. In this case. the plmply
surface was lacking. the fiabby stom-
ach lining being very sticky with mu-
Gus. One might jump at the conclu-
sion that the barley was the cause
OF the difficulty, but one can hardly
think this at all proved. 1t would
rather seem that there was either a
weakened digestive apparatus or
lack Of grit. Some birds will not eat
grit when it lies before them. These
will not long remain in health No
bird lacking a good digestion is worth
keeping around the place. To learn
this, is to take good step toward
-ofitable poultry keeping.

Minute Measurements.

Because the balance wheels OF
watches expand and contract with
changes Of temperature. they run
slower or faster, according to circum-
stances. BY making them Of differ
ent kinds of metal. having different
degrees of expansion with increase OF
temperature, the effect OF their
changes on the running of watches
may be almost entirely eliminated.
But in dealing with such problem 1t
is necessary to know the expansibil-
ity of the metal employed. A means
of measuring it is furnished by an in
strument called dilatometer, In
which a system of delicate levers, or
a chain of gear wheels, magnifies the
motion of a pointer over a graduated
scale hundreds Of times.
At a meeting Of the Physical So
ciety in London lately dilatometer
was exhibited which had a magnifica-
ton of 1900 times, so that the change
in the length of piece Of steel
caused by a single degree OF rise or
fall of temperature was clearly meas
ured by it.-Youth's Companion.

cat story, says the London Express.
is told by the officials of the corpora
ton electricity works. telegraphs
Blackburn correspondent.
A cat living in the power house,
they say, was asleep in the rim Of
a fiy-wheel when the engines were
started, and for five hours pussy was
spun round at the rate of sixty miles
an hour.
When at length the engine was
stopped the cat jumped down, stag
gered about confusedly for few Sec
onds, and then walked quietly to its
corner. none the worse for its extra
ordinary experience.
1t is suggested that the cat has now
experienced more revolutions than
any recognized South American re-

PREVENTION OF GApEs.

If there is one disease more tina,
another that discourages the poultry
men it is gapes, which appears in tn
young chicks. We are quite familia
with the theory that angleworms ar
death to young chicks, but. as a mat
ter of fact, it Is not the worms tina
make the trouble, but the bacteria i,
them, which they absorb from tn
soil, that is infected. Most CT tn
trouble with gapes comes after tn
chicks have gone on to the grount
around the coops where chicks hav'
been for several years. The most et
fective way of getting rid of tn,
trouble where it is likely to occur GU
of doors is to purify the soil, and thi
5 probably better done with linn
than with anything else. AS early il
the spring as possible spread Shaker
lime over the place where the chick
are to run, an inch deep, and afte
the ground is thoroughly dried out
scrape off this lime and with it a
least an inch of the soil, and remov'
to some place far from the chicks
Then sprinkle a light coat of linn
over the soil and rake in lightly. l
the work is well done there is nc
likely to be any trouble. Sometime
chicks contract gapes in the poultr.

HORSE collie AND IT'S CURE

IL
Onc of tho most fruitful causes Of
collie is the too common habit of al
lowing horses to partake of large
draughts of water Immediately after
finishing feed Of oats. There Is no
surer way of generating an attack Of
collie than this. the reason being that
when a large quantity of water is
thus imbibed it has the effect of car
rying with it out of the stomach and
into the intestines some of the fresh
ly eaten grain. This grain, being
still In raw and undigested condi-
ton. its effect when it reaches the
tntestines is to give rise to irritation
and inflammation, which are the i'm
mediate cause of the collie. In deal
ing with cases of this kind the most
obvious course to adopt is to take
precautions to prevent the animals
from drinking large quantities of wa.
ter under the circumstances Just fo
ferred to. When an animal falls a
victim to an attack of collie the best
thing to do is to administer a dose
consisting of Que ounce of laudanum
and two ounces of sweet spirits OF
nitre, along with half pint Of whis
key in some hot water. Very often
simple cases of collie yield to the ad
ministration of a couple of ounces OF
cooking soda, diluted with water
and given as soon as the first symp
toms of the attacks are noticed
Should the administration of this
cooking soda fail to give the desired
relief. no time should be lost in fol
lowing 1t up with the laudanum ana
spirits Of nitre already suggested.

THE CUCUMBER HILLS.

The cucumber bed should be
spaded deeply during the fall or win
ter, or in the early spring at the
latest, at which time the fertilizer is
thoroughly mixed in the soil. Com
mercial fertilizer, or fine barn, ma
nure should be used. AS cucumbers
are a favorite barber for bugs, the
commercial fertilizer is preferred.
Round up the hills several days be-
fore they are planted to the seed,
that they may get warmed and mel
lowed by the sunshine. Sow the seed
in a crescent shaped or circular row,
in the hill, putting them but an incn
beneath the surface and patting the
hill down well with the back of the
spade. At each end of the bed drive
strong stakes and nail cross piece.
This is for laying boards over the
bed Of cucumber hills to shade the
vines from the hot rays of the after
noon sun, after the young cucumbers
appear. Many people wonder why
some cucumbers are so bitter. 1t is
the sun, and if they are properly
shaded they will always be found
sweet and tender. The cucumbers
should be picked and laid away in the
cellar as fast as they grow large
enough. The best time to plant is
early in April or May at latest. We
have planted them in March. Early
White Spine is the best variety for
table use. To have cucumbers late
in the summer, plant few hills in
loamy moist ground of the Extra
Long White Spine. Bugs of all colors
and kinds are almost sure to appear.
