Because the culprit had not been ar

county attorneys office was backward
in its duty, and had not issued a com

arrival of a friend named Herbert
Fletcher who had a revolver, was all

He recognized the negro. and went to
the county attorneys Office as soon as
he was able to be out to make com

Article of Special Interest to
Lovers of Chickens and
Very Seasonable.
TIME FOR GAPEs NOW
Young Chickens Now Coming
On Will Be Very Apt to
Have This Disease.

The editor of a prominent poultry
I journal recently stated that he haC
never seen a genuine case of tn,
gapes, alleging that much of the
! gaping observed in young chicks was
due to throat or bronchial troubles
However much of the trouble may
be due to the latter causes, it snev.
I ertheless a fact that gapes from the
gape worm is very common and
serious affection in most sections,
and the editor mentioned must have
been very fortunate in the location
of his poultry yards. Some years
ago always expected to lose a good
per centage of the chicks from this
disease, but have since so managed
that little trouble is now expert
enced.
As in all kinds of poultry ailments,
prevention is better than cure
keeping the chicks when cooped on
dry board floors; moving the loca-
ton Of the rearing quarters to new
ground from year to year; raising
none but strong chicks, and the lib
eral and proper feeding of the same.
These precautionary measures have
reduced the cape trouble to an al
most negligible quantity on my farm.
AS is generally believed, cape
worms propagate, in some manner,
in the soil. By eggs or by some
means Of reproduction, the matured
cape worm lives from one season to
another in the ground where the
chickens run. 1t is very plain why
the removing TO new and fresh
ground is of advantage, and that the
board floors in the eoops is of advan-
