DIsEAsE-REMEDY AND PREVENTION.

Avoid the causes.
Neglects are costly.
Roup seems to be the most com
mon and prevailing disease.
Why should fowl be expected
to sleep in a draft, when it is i'm
possible for mankind to stand it?
Roupy fowls even if apparently
cured, should never be allowed in
the breeding pens.
The more experienced the poul-
tryman becomes, and the more
care he takes with his flock, the
less likelihood of roup or disease.
If the droppings are allowed to
accumulate, the odors naturally
create the impression that ventila-
ton is necessary.
1t is imperative that the house
be free from dampness, and should
be so constructed that plenty of
fresh air and sunshine can enter
during the day time.
Over fat fowls are out of condi-
ton, and more readily contract
disease than those in perfect
health.
When fowls are left to pick up"
all the food they need during the
summer, they very often develop a
mysterious disease, and the cry of
cholera is then heard.
Purity is the key to health.
Cleanliness discourages disease.
Stlgnant water is the vehicle of
many parasitic and infectious dis
eases of poultry
A red comb and a clear eye is a
sure indicator of good health.
1t will pay to carefully look af-
ter all the conditions that produce
healthy flock of poultry, numer-
Gus as these conditions are.

GREATEST REfORMER
Differs From Roosevelt tn That he Tries
To Tone up his Party.

Senator LaFoltette is the greatest
reformer in the republican party today
and one of the greatest in the nation
He differs from President Roosevelt in
that he tries to tone up his party to
support radical reforms, while Mr.
Roosevelt tones down the reforms 10
suit his party. LaFollette exposes and
openly denounces republican candidates
who have not faithfully rept esented
their constituents, while President
Roosevelt prefers to give the aid of hi,
endorsement to such candidates rather
than to have his party suffer defeat
The selfish interests which contributed
their money TO help elect Roosevelt
would not have contributed to help
elect LaFollette, because they know
where he stands, and they know that
he could not be persuaded to comrro
mise nor YIELD to their demands. With

White house, the interests of the pen.

REMEDY FOR PEAR BLIGHT
Seems to Just What Pear Growers Have So
Long Hoped to Find.

In speaking to a reporter of the
Wenatchee World, Mr.. Pitcher of
Orondo, said:
/ have just returned from a
trip through California and believe
| have found remedy for pear
blight.
This remedy is a very simple
one and consists of taking a quart
and half of rock salt and placing
it around the roots of the trees af-
feCted. Then cover the salt with
an inch or two of earth. This
done, turn i'll the water about
twice to dissolve the salt.
l found this to be successful in
Red Bluff, California. 1t was not
an experiment on the part of one
man, but has been used success
fully among a large number of
growers i'll that section. l am sur
prlsed that it has not been reported
before this. I saw a pear orchard
which was affected. The owner
applied the salt, trimmed the trees
back, and today the orchard is as
good as ever

VENETIAN OR OXIDE RED.

Henry Hale says there has been
a misunderstanding of the nature
of Venetian red, confounding it
with oxide of iron red. Having
used and handled both articles,
Venitian red for the last fifty five
years, and oxide of iron for many
years, he offers this description of
the qualities of each: Venetian
red was so named from its extern
sive use by the Nenetians. 1t is
sometimes called light red. This
is yellow oChre calcined, which
makes a fine light red. Numerous
other reds are now mined in MT
nerous other places, and are often
sold for Venetian red, and often
used, even by painters, who do not
know the difference. Venetian red
proper, contains little if any iron,
probably a very small proportion,
while the other mentioned reds are
more or less composed of oxide or
(more correctly peroxide of iron;
some contain over 70 per cent. of
iron, and are known to the trade
as oxide of iron paints. This is
the article that has the tonic prop
erty; and is what is generally given
to fowls. Any one can test, BY

every available nook and corner

A NEW MOVEMENT.
FARMERS DEMONSTRATIVE AND CO.
OPERATIVE WORK.
United States Agricultural Department
Work to be Carried on by Supt.
Edgar Green.
GENERAL PLAN.

The object of the Farmers Co
operetive Demonstrative work is
not only to place a practical OBJ
ljeot lesson illustrating the best
methods of producing the best
standard farm crops before the
farm masses, but also to secure
their active participation in such
demonstrations to an extent that
will prove that the average farmer
can do better work and will do it
if properly approached.
These demonstrations will show
that larger crops can be raised on
the average farm, and at vastly
greater net profit per acre. They
are also designed to prove that
there is no necessity for this wide
spread deterioration of the farms
and general poverty prevalent
among farmers.
This demonstration work cannot
be done for the people to be bene-
fitted, but it must be done by
them to be effective. The sick
man must take the proper medi-
cine TO effect a cure; it will not do
for his neighbor to take it for
him. The remedy is as follows:
1st. Better tlllage of soil.
2nd. Rotation of crops and soil
renovation by use of legumes and
winter cover crops, oats, rye,
wheat, vetch, etc.
3rd. The judicious use of com
mercial fertilizers.
4th. Greater care in selecting
and planting seed.
+ 5th. The use of more horse
power and better machinery.
9th. The raising of more and
better stock.
7th. Keeping the cost of farm
operations.
8th. Intelligent marketing OF
farm products.
To make the plan effective
different parts of the country will
be visited and earnest effort will
be made to thoroughly organize
the farmers in this work. We
want to secure in this county al
least 1000 cooperative and 10C
denonstrative farms. Two OF
three special demonstration farms
of about five acres each will be
located near some trading point
and a number of these farms may
be increased SOFAS to cover, eacE
type of soil in the county.
Special instructions will be given
in manufacturing and marketing
sugar cane syrup.

The Board of Trustees of the
Mississippi Insane Hospital will
not return an unexpended balance
to the State Treasury at the close
of the present year, which has
been the custom for many years
past. On the contrary, the trus-
tees have been compelled to
figure very closely to bring the
running expenses within the ap-
preparation owing to the large in
crease in the number of patients
being cared for at the institution.
Two years ago the Board of
Trustees was able to turn hack in
to the Treasury an unexpended
balance of about $4,000. The
board is now winding up its
affairs, as it is not expected that
jail OF the present members will be
reappolnted by the new Governor.
The term of DIR. I. j. Mitchell,
the superintendent, does not ex-
pire until two years hence, and
that contest will not come before
the Governor until the legislative

which sooner or later comes to all
