LEAN MEAT DIET

Dangerous Food for Persons Prone
to Liver Trouble.
The truth seems to be that a person
subsisting upon lean meat diet. while
he may manifest a greater amount of
strength than upon a more natural diet,
and may be unconscious of any abnor-
NAL condition, is like person in a

danger of vital catastrophe, is the YER
diet of Prof Rauther of Bonn. says the
Philadelphia Record.
The misunderstanding functions OF
his liver and the poison-eliminating ca
pacity Of his kidneys are taxed to rhe
utmost to keep the proportion OF pto-
maine and leucomaines in the tissues
down to a point which permits of the
performance Of the vital functions.
The margin OF safety which nature
has wisely made very large IN order to
provide for emergencies is reduced to
the narowest possible limit, so that any
thing which temporarily interferes with
the functions of the liver or the kid
neys, or which imposes additional work
upon them, may be sufficient to obliter-
ate the safety margin and produce an
attack of grave or fatal disease.

A farmer says his hens are badly
troubled with scGly leg, and wonders
what causes the disease and how to
cure It, The trouble is caused by
small parasite which burrows into the
scales of the birds legs and causes
them to protrude.
The cure is not at all difficult. Fill
an empty fruit can with coal oil and in
this keep the legs of the bird immersed
for few minutes. Do this every day
or two. This treatment alone will
usually kill the parasites. but it is well
to supplement this by using lard or
fried meat grease as an ointment for
the legs, rubbing it in well. When the
scales commence to peel off, grease the
legs with vaseline every day or two for
about n week.

an interesting statement with refer
ence to the profits of timer culture on
the Western prairies. Twenty years
ago he planted row of cottonwood
slips four feet apart and half a mile
long along the highway fronting his
farm. The trees grew tall and thrifty,
and as they attained large size drew
upon his farm field adjoining for a
width of three rods, occupying thus
about three acres of land. Last fall
and winter all but one hundred of the
trees were cut and from them was
made $1,000 feet Of serviceable lum-

an annual income of S17.37 per acre for

Apple Scab.
An ever present and very generally

disease, says Maine bulletin. has been

fectly familiar. Spraying Is effective
in securing a crop of fruit relatively
free from this disease. even i'm those
seasons when the scab is most pre,St-

For several years the conditions have
been such that the fruit has been rel
atively free from scab, and as a re-
suit many growers who took up the
practice of spraying some years ago
have gradually Ceased to spray. 1t

hens is fully described in bulletin

90 feet wide over the narrow ones are

greater comfort Of the birds.
Following a description of the port
able brooder-houses ia a discussion of
their use in winter, when they would
otherwise have been unoccpied. Two
hundred and seventy pullets were put
into sixteen of these houses and kept
there from November 10 March, inclu-
sive. They were in good health during
the winter, laid freely, but not as well
as their mates In the large houses. The
food they ate cost SIS. and they laid
1867 dozen eggs, which sold for S34S.
leaving S173 to pay for taking care
of them, which was done in connection
with other work, and did not consume
great deal of time.
The desirability of locating the yards
on the north, rather than the south
side of the open-front houses. and the
inadequacy of the growth of plants in
ordinary yards as source of green
summer food. are shown
The dangers from the too free use Of
succulent food in winter. and the great
value of good clover hay as part of the
daily food throughout the year, are
urged as matters of consequence.
