Scaly Legs Again,-C. S. Valentine
says that the scaly legs on hens is such a
common effection, and so easy to cure
that it seems as though every poultry
keeper ought to know how to handle it,
and then get rid of it; yet there are COM
paratively few yards where it does not
appear. 1t Is the least troublesome in
the bard feathered birds as the scales on
the legs seemed to be like the feather,
close and hard, and do not offer the same
chance for the insect which causes scaly
leg to burrow beneath them. The scales
are present on all fowls. II is only when
the parasite has burrowed and thrown
out scurt, etc. that the condition known
as scally legs appears.
The one chief reason that scaly leg is
not stamped is careless and nonpersist-
ence in treatment. Any application
which will kill parasites. II not too ex'
coriating, will answer. Among these
are sulphur, corbolic acid kerosene, etc
Kerosene sometime blisters the legs, and
fanciers avoid it OH this account. Appli.
cations of many sorts are made with
vaseline as medium. Or very strong
soap suds is very good. Most people ad'
wise that the legs be first soaked and well
Hushed and partially dried before the
medicine is applied, Zenoleum is recon-
mended, using four tablespoonsful to the
gallon of water. 1t has this advantage
that the scales do not need to be soaked
off before applying, as it is expected tc
do all the work. Applications of every
sort need to he repeated after an interva

Fighting The Wind.

Mr., August A, Busch, perhaps the most
prominent brewer of America, and one of
the foremost of the world, makes state.
ment which should be regarded as
comes from such source. Mr.. busch
says that his concern, with practically
every other large brewery in the country,
will begin war on absolute prohibition.
"Our business he says, "has always
been conducted along legitimate lines
and we will do all in our power to uphold
the law; refusing to sell to those saloons
that violate it," There will be nation
al campaign against prohibition.
Mr.. Busch and his associates in the
brewing business have mapped ont for
themselves a task of immense proper
tions. Indeed it would seem that they
might as we'll turn their efforts to an
attempt to stop the wind which sweeps
from ocean to ocean as to attempt TO
stem the tide of Prohibition sentiment
that is sweeping this country from the
gulf to the lakes. Each days develop

Editor ]. w. Vincent, of the Linn
Creek Reveille, an old time friend
and jolly good fellow, was pleasant
visitor last Friday on his return from
a trip to his Colorado ranch, where
he had been to round up his cattle,
and also the few thousands of profit
for the year. We were SO surprised
to learn of a country newspaper man
having a ranch that we failed to learn
its location and extent. This puts
John in the pluto class, and we fear
his subscribers will be the sufferers, for
it is the fellow who has to hustle that
gets up the interesting paper, but he
may have money enough to hire
brains to keep the Reveille up to its
present high standard.

Doesn't it seem little strange that
a few of Windsor capitalists do not
establish small packing plant here1
We all cry for good old country ham
and bacon, and yet we stand idly by
and see our hogs shipped out every
year by the thousands, freight paid to
St. Louis or Kansas City packing
houses yielding profit to the ship
pers then see them turned out into
packing house hams, shoulders, sides
and lard, with another profit to the
packing houses, and freight again
paid, to say nothing OF the fact that
nine out OF every ten prefer the home
packed meat. 1t is not expected that
our people would try to outdo SSiit
or Armour the first year or so, but a
company can be organized right here
in Windsor OF sufficient capacity to
supply Windsor and her trade terri
tory. And who does not prefer good
country cured meat to the ioul-smell-
ing packing house stuff. We now,
with few exceptions, ship out all our
good hogs that should be kept at
home. 1t is all right to ship out the
surplus, but enough to supply the
home demand ought to be packed
and sold here, cot sold in Kansas
City and reshipped here. One cause
of the high price of meat lies in the
fact that the fancy prices paid for
what is ordinarily termed shoat,
generally cleans the pen. Much OF
such stock is sold at 100 to 175
pounds weight when it ought to be
iatted to the point oi $50 to 800
pounds and over. There is at least
some food for thought in this il it
never bears fruit. Windsor Review.

would not only result in lowering
