lrvinQ's Observation-Disclosures,

Like many other men of genius, Sir
Henry Irving had sudden periods Of
Observation-Disclosures, which means, says
Mr.. Marshall P. Wilder, the popular
American entertainer and lecturer, in
his book, "The Sunny Side of the
Street." that his mind is for the time
being not only not absent, but, on the
contrary, is entirely present, and work
ing at the rate of an hour minute.
One day while we were driving to-
sether he turned to me and said:
Marshall, I have a story you can
add to your repertoire-a very quaint
one"
Then he went into deep thought, and
we had gone fully block before he
spoke again. Then he said:
And you know
Then we went another block, then
farther; but suddenly he asked:
Nov wasn't that droll?"
1T certainly was,' continues Mr..
Wilder, no matter what it was. But
Sir Henry Still owes me the story, for
he had told it only to himself.

Fall Work In the Orchard,

In our part of the country, some of

their orchards in the fall of the year
Last fall was the first time l ever gave

apparent results pleased me so much

dry under the trees are the means Of
carrying through the winter some of
cur tree pests in the form of fungous
diseases. I therefore rake them into
piles and put them in the barnyard
where they are trampled under the
feet of the stock and soon rendered

Among this rubbish is the mass Of

Every protected place harbors disease

Another piece OF fall work that we
have found it. necessary to do in our
locality is to protect the young trees
against mice and rabbits. Before the
ground freezes I put on lath shield
around each of the apple trees that
has soft smooth bark. This keeps the
mice from them as we'll as the rab-

Unknown Poultry Diseases.

+. Unknown Poultry Diseases.
used to think that all poultry
diseases were known to our scientists
and that all one had to do was to go
to center of information, as to q
medical college, a veterinary college,
doctor or veterinarian, to- be in
stantly told what certain disease
might be. Bat after having tried few
times to find out things did not know,
am convinced that there are among
our poultry at least numerous diseases
that no one knows about-so far as
being able to name and accurately de-
scribe Is concerned. I recently saw
paragraph in a paper to the effect
that the poultry of England is so bad
ly affected with tuberculosis that a
commission has been appointed to in
vestigate. Now, it may be that tuber.
culosis does exist largely in the fowls
OF England, but it is more likely that
1t exists to limited degree and that
many of the unknown diseases are
counted tuberculosis, just as Is the
case with hog cholera.
l frequently hear of mysterious
diseases existing in the flocks of my
neighbors. A few years ago they used
to say that cholera had broken out in
their flock. That was the easiest way
to explain something that was not
easily accounted for. Generally the
causes lying at the foundation of the
trouble were bad feeding and exposure
In the future we shall know more
about poultry diseases, but it will be
after the men with the microscopes
have made study of all poultry dis
eases and have located and named
the germs that cause the contagious
and infectious ones.
Some Of the unknown diseases are
simply troubles arising from the in
terference with the respiration Of the
fowls or with the perspiration. The
latter is certainly the cause OF many
evils. If we will build our poultry
houses on dry situations and keep
them dry and clean, with no drafts
permitted in the sleeping places Of the
fowls, we will have less trouble with
unknown diseases.-Sylvanus Banks,

Arc Needed to Tone Up the
Digestive Organs.
Loss of appetite, distress after eating,
ehortness of breath, feeling of utter
weakness-these are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary doctors
treatment serves but to weaken the dis.
eased organs.
The new tonic method of treating dis
orders of this kind does not aim to do the
work of the stomach, does not demand
that the food be pre-digested, but builds
up the weakened organs, so that they can
! do the work that nature intended.

we were living on farm in this neigh
