WHITE DIARRHEA.
A Theory That Chilling Causes This
Disease Ia Chicks.

%. d. e'avanaugli of Chicago, ILL.,,
mas the following III Reliable Poultry
Journal
am positively sure that there is but
one thing that will cause white diar-
thea among newly Matched chicks.
White diarrhea is only contracted
during the first week or ten days after
Matching and is caused by the little
newly Matched chick or poult being
chilled after being Matched and before
the yollx which the chick draws inside
Just before breaking the shell is fully
6iigested or absorbed | have tried
every known way to cause diarrhea
in properly Matched and brooded chicks
without success, and on the other hand
/ can cause any newly Matched chick
to. have diarrhea just by chilling it
the first two or three days. Feed,
breeding stock, etc. have nothing to
do i'll the case Ii breeders would just
discontinue the use of the nursery In
the ineubators and allow their chicks
to become at least forty hours old be-
fore removing them to the breeders,
the diarrhea would be thing of the
past i have had many arguments Oh
this subject. but have always proved
my claim.
Chicks should be kept under the hen
or on the egg tray of the machine I'M
til they are dry and strong. Never
allow them in the incubator nursery
unless the nursery is heated to about
100 degrees three inches from the
floor a nursery that is cooler than
100 degrees is apt to ahill the young
sters, especially If the chicks are not
dry. 1t is the same with the brood
ers See that the hover apartment is
at least 100 degrees and the feed room
about rs or so degrees, and you can
feed what you want without fear Of
the white diarrhea. If chick gets
chilled after it is ten days old, instead
of diarrhea it will become stunted
and seldom worth raising.
White dialrhea is not contagious,
as some persons think, and there is no
cure for it except heat, and that is not
sure. Red pepper is q good thing for
heating up older chicks that have be-
come chilled. and it will often save Il
few, but the very best treatment is to
prevent the trouble by warmth.

SETTING Trees Too Close.

The man who plants an orchard and
sets the trees too close because he ex-
poets to cut them out may have good
intentions, but the chances are twenty
to one that he will not carry them out,
remarks writer in National Stock
man and Farmer 1t is hard to cut
down any of those trees, even though
they are so thick as to spoil them for
bearing. There are many such or
chards to be seen. The trees ON one
acre might better be on three. If this
plan is TO be followed it Is advisable
to set slow growing. long lived varie-
ties for the permanent orchard. then
fill in with those kinds that grow
quickly, bear early and are likely to
die young anyhow. There are several
varieties of this latter kind among APP
pies, some of them being productive
and OF good quality. The Wagner is
a good variety of this kind; SO is the
Duchess In some localities.

Bowers Philosophy.

Uncle Michael X. Boyer has the fol-
lowing bits of philosophy in the Farm
Journal:
All the world loves the egg maker.
A few neglects in the poultry yard
are apt TO upset the profits.
It is bad economy to cut down the
quality of the feed. Poor food is
wasteful.
Each flock has good, bad aud indiffer-
ent layers. 1t win pay to Gull out the
improbable ones.

finds that he was mistaken.

SUICIDE AND RELIGION.

To those who hold that our human
ifc Is something more than an acct
dent or joke there comes the thought
that the large number Of suicides, ac-
counts Of which appear with such FREE
queney III the daily press and Of which
there seems TO have been almost an
epidemic during the past few months,
are the outgrowth of an entirely
wrong and distorted philosophy Of
life which seems to offer no anchor or
stay In time of trouble beyond the
material and transient possessions and
resources of our earthly existence. In
times of deep discouragement and sor-
row such material things offer no real
solace or comfort, and unless one is
buoyed up by something which is
abiding and spiritual, beyond the
quite likely to become a shipwreck on
life's ofttimes cherries sea. It is in
such times of depression that ones re-
ilgion. if it Is of the genuine sort,
comes into play and furnishes the up
lift and comfort to tide one over the
blues and periods of misfortune Sui
eide was considered a Justifiable re-
sort in the solving Of the riddle of ex-
istence until the Christian religion
gave a new meaning and dignity to
human life No philosophy or religion
known to men contains such words of
good cheer and encouragement as
those of the Master, who understood
poor. weak human nature as no one
else has ever understood 1t and who
said, Come unto me all We that labor
and are heavy laden and / will give
you rest and who on another occa-
sion said. Il came that We might have
life and that We might have it more
abundantly" There Is need of this
gospel of comfort and good cheer not
only in the home circle, with it's multi
plicity of perplexing cares and respon-
sibiIities, but in the Office, the factory,
the shop and on the farm It Is the
cure of soul sickness and pessimism, a
governor in hours of happiness and an
anchor that always holds when the
winds blow and the tempest threatens
to overwhelm.

Growing Raspherries and Biackberries
For Profit.
We plant raspberries out in the fall
when convenient, 3 by feet, giving
clean and frequent culture. We use
mostly commercial fertilizer. Our
method is two parts of treated ground
bone to one part high grade sulphate
of potash. about 600 pounds to the
acre. 1t is better than too much nitro
gen, as that tends to produce tender
wood and consequently winter kills,
says writer in New England Home
stead. Our plantations are started by
setting the sprouts. which usually
spring up in abundance and are treat
ed as weeds except when wanted for
sets. We remove the old canes as soon
as convenient after the fruit is off,
leaving them there till the spring prun-

The black berry requires nearly the
same treatment as the raspberry ex-
cept it should be planted farther apart,
about by feet. The treatment in
most other ways is the same, perhaps
not so much cultivation, as their roots

distance for their sustenance. | have

any and all varieties which are grown.
There are many better in quality, but
they lack hardness or prolificacy. As
to the kind of soil required, we prefer
rather a light soil for either kind of
berries and the same fertilizers and
quantity. In conclusion believe many
more might enter the field. but do not
mix the business with ordinary farm
