Winter Care Of Poultry.

Next to a draft, a damp house or
roosting place Is the most prolific
cause of colds in fowls. Look after
the dryness and ventilation Of your
roosting quarters also.
A plain cold can be told by the
fowls having a watery discharge at
the nostrils and eyes and the birds
throwing their heads and sneezlng. A
plain cold is easily told from the roup
by absence of a cheesy substance in
the throat and nostrils Of the birds.
This cheesy mass always accompanies
roup. The head will frequently swell
with a cold, but the swelling is more
marked in roup. A common remedy
for colds is to apply kerosene to the
heads of the worst afflicted birds. A
Blight film Of kerosene oil on the drink
ing water will often cure mild colds in
a few days.
Bronchitis Is the cold extended to
the bronchial tubes and the fowls make
4 rafting noise when breathing. This
disease continues for weeks In some

kerosene oil, pouring the oil we'll down

Wonder Worlztne water..

There are two little streams in the
United States which are believed by
many people to have miraculous pow
ers for healing. One Is known as Egg
Harbor creek and Is in New Jersey,
while the other is away up in Michi-
gan, and is called Boyne River. Win
ter and summer, people battle and wade
in the waters of these streams, believ-
ing that they will cure such diseases as
rheumatism and fevers. 1t Is q COM
mon thing for people to go into the
water attired in their ordinary clothes,
as some Of them believe that they will
be benefited more greatly by so doing.
The Giscoverer of the beneficial proper
ties Of Egg Harbor creek is an old man
called Father Smith. He has been US
ing its water for several years, and
says that he is growing younger in con-
sequence. Father Smith has built a
little house on the banks Of the creek,
and here he lives with a number of
people who are called his disciples
men and women who have heard of the
creek and have come mere to see II 1t
will not cure them.
There is a story about Boyne river
that an old man crippled with rheuma-
tism accidentally fell into it one night.
Up to that time he had been compelled
to walk with crutches but the next day
felt so much better that he threw away
the crutches and has not needed them
since. He told his neighbors of his ex-
perience, but they did not believe it I'M
til several of them went in bathing in
the river and claimed that it also cured
them of rheumatism. Since that time
the people Of Boyne village, which is To-
Gated on the banks Of the stream, have
made common practice Of bathing in
1t frequently, and invalids have come
to the place from elsewhere to get the
benefit of its waters. "-Technica World

Butter in the south.

A skilled Northern dairyman who
went to Georgia some years ago once
wrote that he found that he could
make as good butter there as he made
In Vermont, could make it at a lower
cost and could get better price for it.
When once the livestock industry Is
well established in the South In con-
nection with cotton growing, we will
soon hear less of its taking four or
Eve acres to make bale of cotton,
for the men who rotate their crops
and feed stock and make manure will
soon put bale as the minimum per
acre. More pea hay, more corn and
more cattle will do more for the cot
ton farmer than anything else, when
they cease to look on everything but
cotton merely as supplies" to enable
them to plant more cotton, for they
win find that the supplies" will soon
be as profitable a part of their farm
ing as the cotton.

Flax with Skin

Flax with Skim Milk for Calves.
For calf feeding purposes instead Of
grinding fax have 1t boiled, one part
of fax to six parts of water, making
a Jelly. The boiling process lasts from
one to four hours. If the fax has been
soaked for eight or ten hours in water,
one hours boiling would put it in fairly
good condition. If, on the other hand,
the fax has not been previously soaked,
1t will take from three to four hours
to cook it thoroughly. In feeding our
calves on skim milk we use about two
thirds Of teacupful twice a day for a
calf weeks old in conjunction with
the skim milk. The amount Is in
creased from time to time as the calf
grows older. After the calf is 5 or 6
months old We do not feed the cooked
faxseed, but feed 1t in the ground form
in conjunction with the grain ration.
In this way we are able to raise practl-
cally as good calves on skim milk as we
formerly reared on whole milk.

". l have found from practical ex-

crops that can be grown. On ordinary
soil there will be a yield of about
twenty bushels per acre. This may

smoke i'm Handling bees,

How differently men use or misuse
smoke when handling bees. Some men
even ask me If ever "smoke in the
entrance" As a rule, such men will
jar the hives in taking OFF the cover,
they pry or pull off the super with a
snap, says an exchange. About this
time the bees, angry bees, begin pour
ing out at the entrance and from the
top Of the hive and then the bee
keeper begins using the smoker; but
the bees are mad now, and no amount
Of smoke will pacify them.
The most important place to use
smoke is at the entrance, and 1t should
be used there as the first step in open
Ing the hive. Subdue the bees first
then all the Earring will only make
their subsection the more complete. Sc
many times has some man cautioned
me about attempting to handle some
colony, saying that those bees were
perfect tigers and that 1 would be
stung to death. l always say: Give
me the smoker" / give them good
thorough smoking at the entrance be-
fore attempting to open the hive.
then open the hive carefully, using a
little smoke If there is any sign OF
obstreperousness.
As rule pass the ordeal without
a sting, while the owner looks on with
amazement. The whole secret lies in
subduing the bees before opening the
hives. Smoke the bees first, and Their
you can usually handle them in peace
and comfort.

HAnd1inE vicious Horses.

Handling Vicious Horses.
A balky horse can be cured, when I'M
der the saddle, by a very simple meth
cd. Turn him around in his tracks
u few times and then suddenly straight
en- his head and he will willingly, and
even gladly, go forward This was
the method Of the celebrated John s.
Rarey and has never been known to
fail.
The 'jibbler" differs from the balk-
er inasmuch as his so-called vice Is
caused by congestion of the brain. The
horse thus affected is liable to bolt or
run away after one Of the attacks and
Is dangerous animal.
Rearing, although commonly termed
a vice, is often caused by too severe
curb. Sometimes the rearing horse
loses his balance and falls backward.
It Is needless to say that the rider is
lucky If he or she escapes without Sc
rious, If not fatal, injury. When the
horse rears, loosen the reins and speak
to him in a soothing tone but If he
persists, give him a sharp blow be-
tween the ears with the butt of the
whip This will bring him down an all
fours with amazing quickness.
Kicking is certainly a vice. Some
times, however, 1t is caused by fear, in
which case much can be accomplished
by gentle management Exactly the
opposite treatment Of the rearing ami
NAL should be applied to the kicker.
Hold his head up with might and main,
for the horse cannot throw out both
legs at once when his head Is elevat-
ed. Kicking straps are what the name
implies. A strap fastened to the shafts
over the horses crup prevents kicking,
but this is only serviceable when driven
In single harness. Shying is a danger
GUS fault 1t cannot properly be term
ed vice; 1t Is generally the result
Of defective vision. Gentle treatment,
soothing words and patient persistence
In accustoming the animal to the
dreaded object will often effect cure.
To lash a horse because he SHES or
Is frightened only aggraVates the evil.
He will associate the punishment with
the frightful object and will fear It
more and more each time he encoun-
tiers it-Country Life in America.
