Treatment of Roupy Fowls.

For roup fill a pail nearly full of wa
ter, add teaspoonful of kerosene oil
and then dip the head Of every ailing
bird. Do not take much time to do
this-just long enough to have the oil
penetrate the nostrils and throat. Put
the birds that have any discharge from
nostrils or eyes by themselves. Keep
sick and well birds apart. Add a few
drops Of kerosene to every drinking
dish on the place and keep this up un-
til no new, cases appear. Then clean
out every pen of dust, filth and cob
webs. Whitewash everything in sight.

THE FARM TELEPHONE.
An Efficient Time Saver and Means
of Protection.

Many persons who use the telephone
have all manner of mistaken ideas
about central and her work. They
often say, for instance, that they know
better when central tells them the line
is busy or that nobody answers. In
fact, however, much the easiest thing
for the operator to do is to give you
the person called for if she can pos
sibly get him. BY the time she has
found out that line is busy, or that
a subscriber does not answer, centrai's
work is tlree-quarteFs done. and it is
simpler to finish the connection when
ever she can than turn the switch on
your line and report to you, remarks a
writer in American CultfTator. When
central tells you a person does not
answer, it is only after she. has made
several unsuccessful attempts to get
him. Sometimes people forget to ring
off when they are through talking, and
that might keep a line waiting as ap-
parently busy when it was really not
in use.
Convenient In Many Ways.
MdHy stoIIeS are loiu VI lne way . Ii
which the telephone saves money for
the farmer, from protecting his crops
by giving him the governments daily
weather predictions to protecting his
profits by keeping him posted on prices
current. When some of the farm ma
chinery breaks down, the damaged part
can be replaced in a day by telephon-
ing a supply house. If there is an ac-
cident or sudden illness, a word from
the doctor over the wire may save
life which could not wait unaided for
him to take long drive. If fire threat
ems, the whole countryside is sum-
moned in a few moments. Tramps and
marauders notoriously avoid places to
which the telephone wires lead.

maids, and they carried big punches
of carnations.
-Mary's bouquet was Of lilies of the
valley and violets.
Wasn't it nice that Walter remem-
bered?' she said.
Remembered whatT Margaret
asked.
"That liked violets."
"You aren't the first girl of Walters
that has liked violets," Leila told her.
Mary flushed.
81 don't think Walter has had so
many girls that you need to say that,
Leila" she said.
"Lefla's eyes sparkled above the
pink carnations.
"Oh, well, Of course you aren't the
first
perhaps not the very first that he
thought he liked" Mary said slowly,
"but the first he really wanted to
marry
"Walter doesn't tell everything"
Leila said meaningly.
Mary turned away from the glass.
81 guess they're waiting for u.s." she
said, and then they went downstairs
together.
Every one said it was pretty we'd
ding, but the bride was rather pale.
''But then Mary never did have
much color" was the conclusion Of the
village folks, who pinned their faith in
beauty to the rosy milkmaid variety
and had little admiration for Mary's
delicacy and pallor.
Walter spoke of it on the way to the
station.
"You ought to have had red cheeks
for me today, Mary" he said, and she
trembled a little as he laid his hand
over hers.
They went to the city, reaching there
after dark. In their room at the quiet
hotel they found fowers-violets and
narcissus sent by one of Walters bust
ness friends.
81 told him you liked violets," Walter
said as he helped her off with her coat
and kissed her.
Mary, with her hat sttil on, stood by
the table and looked at the flowers.
Suddenly she asked, "Who was the
other girl who liked violets?
"The other girl?"
He was on the opposite side of the
table, smiling at her, his boyish face a
little tremulous with the thought of the
place and the hour ''There was never
any other girl, Mary" he said.
Leila said there was" she persisted,
"and you used to send her yiolets."

EARLY CELERY.

Tender Product.
Perhaps the most satisfactory way
of blanching early celery on a small
scale is by means of ordinary farm
draintiles of about four inches inside
diameter, placed over the plants after
they have become almost fully grown.
To facilitate the work of placing the
tiles over the plants some of the out
side leaves should be pulled away and
the main part of the plant loosely tied
together by means of a soft string or,
better, with what is known as paper
twine, being a string made by twisting
strip of soft paper. This string will
