eApEs IN CHICKS.
a Disease Which Usually Carries OF
Many Of the Youngsters.

Gapes is one Of the most serious
causes of loss among chicks. It Is
caused by small worms that accumu.
late in the windpipe until the chicks
suffocate. The affected chicks con.
stantly try to dislodge the worms by
gaping and shaking the head. If the
chicks are quite large, they can usually
manage to throw off the disease. If,
however, the disease attacks small
chicks, they usually succumb to it or
become stunted.
There are several ways of treating
gapes, but i'll all cases the first thing
to do is TO separate the unaffected ones
from the rest and move them to fresh
ground, as the disease spreads rapidly
il this precaution is not taken. The
common earth worm is said to be a
means of spreading the disease, as it
is very frequently found to be a host
for cape worms. If there is danger of
gapes, use solid floors in all the coops
and keep the chicks confined when
there are many earth worms on the
surface.
Several patent devices for the treat
Some of them are very good for the
purpose, while others are of doubtful
value. If the chicks are considered
worth the trouble, the quill and tur-
pentine treatment is probably about
the best and is used as follows: Dip
a quill in turpentine and then insert
it gently into the windpipe. The quill
must of course enter the windpipe in
order to effect any cure. The operator
will see the opening of the Windpipe
at the base of the throat. Numerous
complaints are made that the treat
ment does no good because people fire.
quently insert the quill into the gullet
instead of the windpipe.
A looped horsehair may also be used
for dislodging the cape worm. Insert
it into the windpipe, give it three or
four turns and then remove, after
which the chick will cough up any
worms that have been diSlodged.
Cape worms may be killed by placing
the chicks in a closed barrel or some
other convenient receptacle and forced
to inhale strong tobacco fumes or
those of a similar nature. This meth
cd is not recommended very highly, as
it is extremely dangerous. The treat
ment will of course kill the chicks If
continued too long, and thus an inexpe-
rienced operator finds it difficult to use
In combating this disease, as well as
all others, healthy, growing chicks are
much more likely to overcome the trou-
BILE than weak, neglected ones.

DOCTORS MISTAKES

their family physicians, suffering, as they

and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over

his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine

You can never improve flock by
using a grade sire.
Wethers intended for market should
be put in a pasture by themselves,
where they can be literally fed.
The ewes and the sire should receive
generous feeding.
When ewes are gaining in condition
at mating time there will be a larger
percentage of twins and the lambs will
be stronger.
A supply of roots is necessary to
success with sheep.
Have some way of marking your
sheep. Many neighbors have been
made enemies for life by their sheep
getting mixed in the pasture.
1t is important to give good care to
all animals, but particularly to sheep.
To restore flesh to an animal is an ex-

Melting really does not begin before
the latter part of August, but during
the hot months the plumage begins to
look rusty, and the feathers more or
less loosen up, so that the younger
birds are very apt to begin throwing
their first feathers in July, and some
very early hatched pullets may drop
feathers even in June. OF course the
latter refers more particularly to Jan
lary Matched birds.

BEET HARvEsTERs.
Lifting the eeets by Means Of Piew
or Ruiier.

, Lifting the 6eets by Means of ploM
or Fuller.
To harvest sugar beets costs from S.
to $40 an acre, depending upon the
condition of the soil. Most of this
work Is now accomplished by a sys-
tenn borrowed from Europe This con-
sists In extracting the beets from the
soil with an implement drawn by two
to four horses. 1t is In the nature of q
plow. There are several forms, one Of
which is called "puller'' This has
two 1ngerlike tapering prongs, which
run through the ground parallel with
the surface, but about ten inches be-
low. The space between these prongs
is wider at the points, gradually less
ening to their back ends. These prongs
are supported by two upright pieces
attached to the beam. When pulled
through the soil the points are carried
on either side of the beet, compelling
it to pass through this diminishing
space. Directly the prongs tighten
against the beet as it is being forced
through the space, breaking off the tap
root and forcing it up. The beet is ele-
waited two or three inches and left in
the loose dirt.
Another Form of PIow.
Another form of the implement con-
sists of plow with a narrow mold
board and long sharp knifelike share,
the edge of which penetrates the soil
at about the depth of ten inches, cut
ting off the beets, lifting them several
inches and throwing them on the side
over against the loose di4. A work
man comes along the row, takes hold
of the top, lifts the beet from the loose
soil and with a sharp knife cleaves off
the crown from which the leaves have
grown. The beets are then bumped
together to remove the adhering dirt
and thrown in piles and the tops in
others. From these piles the beets are
loaded into wagons and delivered to the
factory.-C. f. Saylor.

The most important thing in rearing
bantams Is to keep them free from lice.
Bantams can stand the cold better than
lice Therefore examine your chicks
at least once a week, because If you let

any bantams to take care of in short
time If they droop their wings or do
not eat, treat them for lice, even if You
cannot find them.

INTESTINAL TROUBLES.
Coiitis, hs Causes and the Way It
Should Be Treated.

/
Colitis is an Inflammation of the
colon, or large intestine. 1t occurs
in several forms. Simple catarrhal
eolitis is a not uncommon affection.
1t may arise from the same cause
as catarrh of other mucous mem
branes, as of the bronchial tubes,
for example, or it may be caused by
the presence in the intestine of In
digestible or partly decomposed
food. A not infrequent cause is
constipation, the matters which
should be discharged being retained
and by their presence setting up an
irritation.
The most frequent symptom is
diarrhea. This usually comes on
suddenly and is watery in character,
often tinged with blood. Associ-
ated with this is considerable alb
dominal pain, occurring in parox-
ysms - collie = and following the
course of the large intestine at one
or the other side of the abdomen OF
along its upper border.
The appetite is poor, the tongue
is coated with white fur, nausea is
common and vomiting sometimes
occurs. There is usually more or
less fever, and the pulse is rapid
and weak.
The treatment consists in abso-
lutte rest in bed, very restricted
diet preferably milk and limewa-
ter in small quantities) and the ad-
ministration of astringent remedies.
The latter is, of course, to be left
to the physician, for much harm
may be done by y-injudicious medica-
ton. The symptoms of dysentery
are very similar to those of the dis
ease under consideration, but dysen-
terry is "a much more serious affec-
ton. The possibility that the dis
ease is dysentery rather than simple
colitis is an added reason for seek
ing medical advice and not attempt
ing to cure the trouble with do
mestic treatment.
Another and more serious form
of Inflammation of the colon is
what is called membranous colitis.
This disease occurs usually in young
adults and in women more COM
monty than in men. The initial
symptoms are similar to those of
simple colitis, but the diarrhea
does not last long and alternates
with periods Of obstinate constipa-
ton. In the passages, especially
during the periods of constipation,
are patches of membrane, some
times of considerable size, looking
like wet parchment, formed of
sheets of tenacious mucus.
The subjects of this disease,
which is chronic in character, are
usually dyspeptic, suffering much
from fatulence, anaeslic and de-
pressed in spirit. The treatment is
mainly hygienic. The patient should
live much in the open air, have
long hours Of sleep, eat plenty of
nourishing food, scrupulously avoid
ing fried meats, pastry and other
indigestible articles Of diet. A
change Of air and scene is often
curative in its effects. The patient
should also if possible have some
light but interesting occupation,
which will serve to turn his mind
from his ailment.-Youth's Com
panion.
