-Ex-Assemblyman William J. Thomp-
son. of Camden, believes that the scarcity of
shad in the Delaware River during the past
few years, is due to the practice Of the fish
-ermen dragging the lower river with their
nets, day and night. Few shad get past
them, Mr.. Thompson says, and many fish
ermen agree with him. The remedy be pro-
poses is a law that will forbid shad fishing
between sunset and sunrise, which will give
the fish chance to get up the river TO their
spawning grounds. It is worth trial, for
She scarcity cannot be made much greater.
The following is remedy for gapes in
chickens given by Crosswicks correspon-
dent Of the Allentown Messenger Last
year for the first time in years we were not
troubled with gapes, and we attributed it
to the fact that on taking the small chick
ems of the nest each one was creased with
pure lard on the Top Of the head and under
the throat-jnst drop or two applied with
the finger. Almost Immediately there were
two or three large lice seen dead on the
head. It is said that these head lice are
what cause the gapes. It certainly did not
hurt the chicks, and If it is Of any use to any
one it don't cost much to try it.
