OYSTER SEASON
NOT YET PROFITABLE

DELMAR, Del. Sept. 22-The oyster
season which opened last Wednesday
has not been very profitable to the
tongers thus far. While the weather
has been comparatively favorable.
there has not been much demand for
oysters, few of the packers will open
their houses before the middle or lat
ter part Of next month.
II is the concensus OF opinion among
oysTermen that there will be a very
large supply of oysters in the Chesa-
peake Bay and It's tributaries, but If
they are small and are not fat. or the
weather keeps warm, II is probable
that poor prices will prevail, as was
the case last year. So far. the prices
are between % and 80 cents a bushel.
but il is likely that by the middle Of
the month. when tongers get to work.
and especially II there should be a
warm spell, as frequently happens in
September, they will sell considerably
below the present price.

The Melting Season.

The proper months for melting are
August, September and October. but
the young stock it is apt to begin a
little earlier. and in old stock a little
later.
The older the fowl the more delay
ed Will be the commencement Of his
period.
If not already done, the sexes should
be separated until the fowl has com
pleted her new feather growth. In
fact, it is not advisable to nj be-
fore the first Of the new year.
Any weakness a owl may have is
pretty sure to develop at melting
time.
Noting is not a disease, but the
strain in growing the feathers is apt
TO weaken the fowl, making it more
or less susceptible to sickness.
1t is generally supposed that 1t
takes 100 days for a owl to change
it's coat of feathers.
The Van Dresser method CT semi
starving and then overlooking fowls
to make quick mott has not stood the
test expected. POultrymen, as a
rule. are more favorable to old Ma
lures method.
Both suntlower seed and linseed
meal are valuable additions to the bill
Of fare at this season of the year.
The bill of fare should be rich In
nitrogen. Green food is important.

methods that really have some merits.
In order to show farmers from the
North, as well as those from their
own part of the country, what can
be accomplished by growing various
crops. the officers Of the road have
established experimental farms along
the line.
These farms are under the super
vision of a first class farmer, who
humps himself to produce better crops
than anybody else in the neighbour
hood.
The manager lives in g mode farm

The barns are all constructed from

a silo connected with it.
The stalls are drained by gutter:

THE GATES AND THE CURE.
Keep Young Chicks on Clean Ground
Where Other Fowls Have Not
Tranlnlo6
tBy S. c. Miller.)

tBS >. 6. Mlller.)
Strictly speaking, gapes cannot be
called a disease. since chicks that are
SO afflicted are in a physically perfect
condition.. The trouble is caused by
q small red worm, or rather by a col
lection of such worms, which gather
in the windpipes. and as they grow in
%terfere with the breathing and cause
the chicks to gasp and after awhile
%strangle.
The worm is the larvae Of eggs de-
posted in the filth of the yards OF

taken into the chicks throat.
They are, when full grown, about
one inch long, and very much re-

Incubator chicks and those which
run or clean grassy plots, away from
the haunts of the older fowls, are
never known to have gapes, while. on
the other hand. those which run in
yards which are bare Of grass, mere
fowls have been kept year after year,
viii almost invariably have gapes.
Just guard against the disease by
observing a few simple rules, is the
best advice. Keep all young chicks
on clean ground, away from the house,
where old fowls have not trampled
OVe it.
Sprinkle lime and carbolic acid over
the yard, house and walks, and see
that only fresh water and pure food
are given the chicks.
Ii only q few chicks are affected
they may be relieved by inserting a
feather stripped to within an inch of
the tip into the WindDipe and turning
it gently as it is withdrawn. The
worms will adhere to the feathers and
thus give the relief sought.
Violent sneezing Will dislodge the
worms and give relief, and this may
be produced by fumes of tobacco
smoke or %carbolic acid. If using to-
bacco, catch the chicks and put them
in an ordinary bushel feed basket,
With any kind OF an old cloth thrown
over it. Set the basket over a barrel
with both heads out and place the
tobacco on some live Goals in the bot
tom.
Watch the chicks carefully, SO that
they do not smother. but let them re-
main until they become quite dizzy.
The sneezing thus produced Will give
relief.

R~roon1corn can be grown on almost

walton is the same as OF indian corn,
only the plants must be much thicker
in the row, as close planting makes
the brush long and fine, which is
much desired for making broons.
Plant some next spring.
A farmer who has twenty acres Of
broomcorn should have fifteen men
when the corn is ready for cutting.
which should be done the sixth day
after the brush commences to push
from the DOT.
In cutting. the corn IS first made
into tables or benches by overlapping
two rows.
After the tables are made the cut
tiers pass down the open row and re-
move the brush from h stalk at the
first joint below the root, placing it in
small punches OH the table.
After that il is placed on wagons
and taken to the seeder, where the
seed is removed by passing the brush
through spiked rollers.
1t is then placed on racks in a
curing shed. These racks are made by
