RInckhend.

Blackhead was first noticed in New
England, where it caused great loss TO
turkey raisers. 1t is described as a
disease which first attacks the cecum,
situated between the large and small
intestines. 1t may also attack the
liver, which becomes very much en-
larged. While the disease is generally
attributed to microbes, 1t Is believed
to be very much aggravated where in
breeding is too much resorted to-.
Diarrhea is a common symptom. The
disease takes it's name from a peculiar
discoloration of the head. Birds of
depleted vitality are the ones general
ly attacked. so that addition Of new,
strong and healthy stock is recon-
mended. Some have tried introducing
wild blood into their iocks. Treat
ment of sick birds has not proven very
successful. Among the remedies most
recommended are sulphur, sulphate Of
iron and quinine, Sulphur may be
given. Eve to ten grains being combined
with one grain of sulphate of iron.
and sulphate Of quinine one grain. It
IS necessary that such treatment be re-
heated two or three times a day and
continued for considerable time to Sc
cure results.-Inter Ocean.

IaFT'S LIFE IN DANGERg
Heavily Armed Man Is Arrested By

Heavily Armed Man Is Arrested by
Police in Portland, Ore.
The assassination of President Taft.
it is declared. was averted Saturday
afternoon by the quick action of the
police in Portland, Ore, when heav,
ily armed man, who had been endeav,
oring to gain place OF vantage near
the President, was taken into custody.
The suspect, who says his name is Ar
thur G. Wright. man of means of
Lowell. Mass, is being held on tenn
porary charge of carrying a concealed
pistol, but the authorities will investi-
gate his case thoroughly before bond
is fixed. The attempt took place in
front of the Portland Hotel, just as
the President was preparing to enter
his automobile to participate in the
great military parade planned in his
honor.
Captain Bailey of the Portland po-
lice and two local detectives were on
duty near the hotel entrance. All
three men were in plain clothes. Just
as the President was emerging from
the entrance to the hotel Wright was
noticed. Apparently he was simple
camera fiend. He had kodak in his
hands and was struggling through the
crowd in seeming effort to get near
the President to secure snap shot.
So eager was he, so repeated were his
attempts and so excited was his de-
meanor that the officers determined to
investigate his conduct.
He was seized from behind by one
of the detectives, and Immediately
there was a sharp struggle. The man
made frantic efforts to free himself,
and the other officers had to come to
the assistance of their comrade to pre-
vent the man escaping into the crowd.
On being searched a heavy caliber six
shot revolver was found concealed in
q holster under his coat, while in his
pockets there was large amount of
loose ammunition On the inside of
the coat was found a police badge
marked Lowell" Despite the efforts
of the police to hustle the man to the
nearest station as quietly as possible,
the crowd swarmed about them, and a
number of threats were made as to the
safety of the prisoner.

weed. IN Feed Mixtures.

Large quantities of seeds OF pesti-
lent weeds of which a considerable
portion are alive and will under prop
err conditions grow, are sold in feed
mixtures. These weed seeds are not
always quickly detected, because of
being mixed with chaff, oat hulls, lin
seed, barley and corn products, and
sometimes with molasses. Ground
weed seed may have food value. but

are broken and digested by the animal

An instantaneous Cure.

During the cattle plague in 1866 in
England a farmer who had lost
number of his COWS grew so depressed
that he fully persuaded himself he
had also contracted the disease. The
medical man whom he contulted tried
In vain to laugh him out of his fears,
but subsequently. being fond of a joke,
pretended to agree with the patients
views and solemnly told him II he
would attend to his instructions he
would be cured. He then gave the
farmer a prescription, which he direct
ed should be taken to a neighboring
druggist, but when the latter opened
the envelope and read the contents he
was as much startled as the farmer.
For the prescription was as follows:
"This man has the cattle plague. Take
him into the backyard and shoot him,
according to act of Parliament" Need
less to say the cure was instantaneous

Just at that moment a curious COM
motion seemed to arise about the open
door of the vestry; several persons ran

seemed to be blocking the way; whilst
in the midst Of them was suddenly
seen the dark head of the bride in its
coronct of orange blossoms.

becoming entangled in her long satin
draperies, she fell heavily forward,
