The Cape Worm.

The dreaded cape worm has been
conspicuous by its absence this sea-
son, to judge by the letters received.
The absence of damp and rainy
weather has had much to do with this
unwelcome parasite in chicken cul-
ture. The festive cape worm revels
in a foul, damp atmosphere, and is
seldom in evidence where dry SAM.
tary conditions prevail. 1t is true
we hear of chicken raisers who speak
Of gaps" whenever a chicken opens
its jaws and breathes a trife suspi-
%ciously, but IN close examination no
trace of the gape-worm is found.
Where doubt exists, hold the chick
ems throat exposed to the sunlight
and open the mouth and look down
the wind-pipe. If a small, thin red
dish looking string of about an inch
in length is attached to the mem
brane, his gapeship" is busy and
must be removed. A twisted horse
hair or silver wire will extract the
a%ppendage. A small primary feather
stripped to the quill, except a small
end of about a quarter of IN inch
wide and half an inch long dipped in
coal oil will answer the same pur.
pose. Some use %turpentine, but it
needs very careful handling when APP
piled internally. A local application
of %turpentine to the outside of the
throat is often effective in destroying
the gape-worm in the early stages.
Placing the afflicted chickens in a
barrel or box and busting with air
slaked lime is another remedy that
is fairly successful. Flowing the
foul ground in the fall and dressing
with fresh lime is the best %preventa-
tive of gapes.-American Fancier.

Artichokes.

A~rtichokes are regarded as a fine
health preserving and appetizing food
for hogs. They are comparatively
little trouble to raise and are quite
productive. Every hog feeder should
have an artichoke patch, if not more
than half an acre. Plant just as you
would potatoes, and as soon as the
ground is warm. In the late sum-
mer and fall you will find you have
made a good investment. They serve
as a kind Of tonic for the hogs, keep
ing them healthy and sharpening
their appetite for corn.

Spray For Berries.

I. In fall or winter remove all
canes infested with cane borers,
orange rust and crown gall and burn.
2. In spring, before the buds swell,
cut off and burn all canes badly spot
ted with disease and spray the rest
with Bordeaux mixture, repeating the
spraying when the young shoots are
about six inches high, and again in
ten to fourteen days. Aim to cover
the young shoots with spray. This
treatment is for anthrac nose, cane
blight and leaf spot diseases.

Too Many Rabbits.

A writer describes a plague Of rab-
bits in Australia: "a farmer barri.
cades himself in with miles upon
miles of wire fencing solely to keep
out the rabbits. They eat their way
up to the barriers and in the fight for
the green land within the wire they
die in myriads. All round the en-.
closed land they lie in heaps of in
credible size. Swarm after swarm fol.
lows on, and at last the heaps of dead
are SO high that the late corners make
their way over the fence and the
farm is ruined"

North Dakota Solves the Adultcra-
ton Problem.

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" q plan
which is applicable to foods, bever-
ages, materials used in the arts, etc.
A new law has recently gone into eff
feet designed to make it impossible
to deceive people into buying inferior
and adulterated paint under the i'm
preston that they are getting real
paint, viz: pure white lead and lin
seed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit
the inferior pigments, or mixtures OF
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
LET the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, If any n wishes
to buy a mixture OF rock-dust. ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no n a
object; for they do 1t with their eyes
open. But IL they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure Of getting 1t, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
Which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little-sometimes no-real
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. IL
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want,

Lawmakers of America.

The British empire has 6S legisla-
live bodies. In 1903 they passed
about 1000 acts and ordinances. The
state legislatures of the United
States in that year enacted more than
1000 laws and resolutions, of which
more than 5,400 were general and the
remainder were local or private. In
America it is not always the most
popu,ous state that needs, or seems
to need, the most legislation. In

An Old Phrase.

The phrase 'his mothers white.
headed boy" is as old as the hills
in Ireland. 1t appears in many of the
Irish fairy stories of the last century.
Irish mothers who knew good fairies
always kept the secret for the
"white-hsaded boy" of the family.
Gerald Griffin, in one of his best short
stories, years ago used the phrase
as one he had borrowed from an old
Celtic book.

Resolutions Adopted by the Mayoalty

Whereas, the Honorable Elisha
Dyer, the twenty-irst Mayor OF the
City of Providence, has accepted the
Republican nomination for Represen-
tative in the Congress Of the United
States from the First Congressional
District, and,
Whereas, Mayor Dyer has been for
a great many years recognized by all
of his fellow citizens as one of the
highest and noblest types Of public
officials, now therefore be it
Resolved, That the Republicans Of
the city of Providence in convention
assembled this day, desire to place on
record this expression of their absO-
lutte confidence in the integrity, ability
and usefulness of Elisha Dyer, not on
ly as a citizen but as a public officer
who has discharged every public duty
that he has been called upon to per
form in such a crcditable manner that
he has won for himself almost univcr-
sal commentator from his fellow citi-
Zens. His life has been as an open
book and his record in every walk Of
private an official life has been uneX-
celled in this community, and in what
ever position he has been called upon
to occupy, his skill in discharging its
duties has been SO delicately mingled
as to command the profound respect
and admiration Of all. Interested in
everything that pertains to the bet
terment Of his native city and state,
Mayor Dyer has taken an active and
personal part in the welfare OF our
public schools in the development and
Improvement OF our citizen soldiers,
in the enlargement Of our State lnsti.
tutions and in the growth and prosper
ity OF greater city Of Providence. As
a school committeeman, as Adjutant
General, as Governor Of the State Of
Rhode Island, as Senator ffrom the
City OF Providence and as Mayor Of
his native city, Elisha Dyer has dis
played all Of those excellent qualities
Of leadership that have reflected honor
upon the positions and upon the city
he has SO worthily represented, stamp
ing him at once as the ideal citizen,
the prudent legislator and the wise
leader. Few men have been so con
scientious in the discharge Of public
functions and his unblemished record
challenges honest criticism and is a
notable example that is worthy Of EN-.
ulation.
