THE SMOKE RINGS AND THE SMOKE BOX.

open top of the box and then burn
touchpaper in the hole until the box
is full of smoke.
Now rest the box on its side, and
when you lightly tap the handkerchief
smoke rings will come out of the hole
just like those from the smokers
mOutlH
To make larger rings Of smoke and
TO perform little feats with them, get a
wooden box instead of the pasteboard
one and let it be about two feet square
at the bottom. Over the open top tack
tightly a piece of heavy muslin and
stand the box on its side, as before.
The hole in this box should be three or
four inches in diameter. To keep the
box full of smoke arrange two bottles,
other with hydrochloric acid, and sup
port them on asbestos so that they can
be heated from below by an alcohol
lamp. The corks of the bottles will
have to have either rubber or bent
glass tubes fitted in them, the other
ends of the tubes entering the box
by means of two small holes.
When you heat the bottles with the
lamp the fumes will rise through the
tubes and enter the box, where they
will mix and form dense white
smoke. Having filed the box in this
way the bottles need not be heated
again until the smoke becomes thin.
When you tap on the muslin, large,
beautiful rings of smoke will come out
| of the hole, and you can bring them
out forcibly and fast if you tap the
muslin hard, or gently and slowly if
you tap it lightly.
You will perhaps be surprised to hear
that you can make one of the smoke
| rings blow out lighted candle that
| is placed across the room from the
box. OF course the candle must be
placed exactly opposite to the hole,
when a quick, hard tap on the muslin
will send ring of smoke that will
| extinguish it.

When q man don't give his wife
any money nor pay the preacher nor

town or country. some people call him
a hog. but that is slander-slander

He pays the doctor, the preacher, the

and sends the children away to school.

germ. The disease is taken into the
system through the mouth. The symp-
toms are dropping Of the wings, stu
por, lessened appetite, and excessive
thirst. There is no positive cure for
this diseace.
The treatment consists of killing and
burning or deeply burying all sick
fowls. The rest of the fowls should be
transferred to new quarters. while the
old quarters are being disinfected SO
as to prevent the spread Of the germs.
Preventive measures consist in keep
ing the quarters and the drinking foun-
tains clean. Disinfect occasionally.
Gapes.-Caused by trematode worms
in the windpipe. Occurring usually
in Young chickens. These worms are
from Is to IL inch long, reddish color,
and found attached to the windpipe.
The number of worms may be increas-
ed until the fowl is completely choked.
These worms are frequently removed
nv means Of a wire or horse hair doub-
led SO as to form a loop which is In
serted into the windpipe and turned
until the worms are all removed. A
simple method is to dip a feather in
turpentine or kerosene, thrust 1t into
the windpipe and turn until the worms
are removed. May be expected IN the
northern half of New Mexico, or where
there is considerable moisture. Pre-
yentative measures better than after
treatment.
Mites.-The adult insect is of light
gray color. but red when filled with
blood. Seldom to be found on the
chickens during the day time. they
hide in the cracks and crevices OF the
buildings. The treatment consists OF
spraying with a two or three per cent
solution of carbolic acid or other equ
ally destructive agent. Spray three
times. every third day until the mites
are all destroyed.
ScaIy.Ieus.-This trouble Is caused
by a mite which burrows underneath
the scales Of the feee and legs caus
ing an irritation which results In 9
MULTIPLICATION of the cells of the epid
ermus, and, therefore, a much thick
ened scale. TO successfully treat thi'
disease the scales must first be re
moved so that the medicine can COM

the scales are soft when they may d

that insect. 1t infests chicken houses
in southern New Mexico, and may be

near infested places. 1t sometimes

This name is probably applied for the
ly to infest hen houses made Of adobes.
Such houses afford in the cracks and

fact, 1t is practically impossible to rid

before holding Of the general election
and this is impossible, with the date

be Illegal for the governor to change
the time to a later date, and the pri'

looks like the election will have 1c

it. will be possible to have a primary
