Fiuhtinu tuberculosis.

Three large fraternal orders are at
present conducting sanatoria for their
tuberculous members. The Royal
League, the first order to take up this
form of work in the United States,
has a sanatorium at Black Mountain,
North Carolina. The Modern Wood
men have recently opened sanator'
lum at Colorado Springs, and the
Knights of Pythias, one at the East
Las Vegas, New Mexico. The Royal
Arcanum and the Brotherhood OF
American Yeomen will consider prop
ositions at their coming grand coun
ellis for the erection of similar insti
buttons.

Asparagus or Lace Fern.

This is the name often given to AS
paragus plumosus. When the plants
seem inclined to make one long vine
rather than bushy growth, nip out the
center when the shoots attain the height
of foot or eighteen inches. Sprouts
will then appear from the roots or nodes
of the stem If a plant fails to grow
satisfactorily shift it into a larger pot,
and add porous, fbrous loan for the new
roots to penetrate. The great beauty
of this exquisite foliage plant warrants
all the care that can be bestowed upon
it. Tt is really one of the most charming
of foliage house plants, and should be
one of the first chosen. It has no enc
mics: it's culture is simple, and it's prop
agation is readily effected by seeds,
which come up with certainty after they
have been in the ground for from three
to four weeks.

'WENTY-SEVEN

turkeys around the house. They need
wide range.
1t is all wrong to feed yotthg ducks
too concentrated ration. They need
plenty of green stuff.
What is prettier than a bunch of
thrifty chicks, all of one color and breed,
and as much alike as SO many peas?
Young poultry delight in sunshine, but
the late matched chicks and turkeys must
have protection from the intense heat in
summer.
Insect powder has little effect on
mites. They must be fought by spray
ing coops and house with whitewash, or
some good liquid lice killer. Another
handy remedy that will cause mites to
''take to the woods is strong salt wa
ter applied thoroughly while boiling hot,
We reap what we SOW. The fruit of
careful feeding and housing is young
stock ready for market while prices are
good. Fowls intended for early market
should be kept in close quarters just
light enough so they can see to eat. For
a fattehing ration we like corn meal and
ground oats BEST
A fowl house should not be foul
house. Wake up and clean up. Lice and
disease germs thrive in filth. When
cleaning up look in the cracks and crew
ices about the walls and roosts for mites.
These pests do not stay on the birds ex-
cept when hunting for blood
The louise is a night hawk. It reposes
in some crack or crevice of the house
during the day, and sucks the blood of
the fowls at night. This fact makes it
easier for the poultryman to wage sue
cessful war.
Now is the time to put in our best
licks against lice. Can't afford to let
them get too numerous.
Don't get too busy to empty and refill
drinking vessels with fresh water. A
drink out of the northwest corner of
the we'll on hot day tastes as good to
the hen as it does to the human family.
Lack of business brings on liver COM
plaint in hens, just as it does in men.
Poultry brings returns as quickly as
any investment that can be made.

Youngsters we must cater to their COM
fort and wants, by not only feeding right
but also in providing shade It is from
the well-raised chicks on 1y we may ex-
pect our most desirable layers, breed dets
and show birds.
In Florida one can hatch and raise
chicks successfully every month of the
year, but the late Matched ones must
have extra care if best results are to be
expected,
Where bit few are raised there is
usually ample shade at hand. I would
advise early Matching, as moss satisfac-
tory and profitable, where large numbers
are raised. Last year, with a total of
thirteen hundred, March 18th saw my
the season. This year the incubator
work was continued through April, as we
had larger yard capacity, provided
with shade and running water in each
yard A few years ago "shade" in my
pens was serious problem, and [ plant
ed peaches, wild cherry, mulberry and
umbrella trees; also the scuppernong
grape. All are quick growing and drop
their foliage in winter when sun is most
needed and [ would add right here, that
[ afterwards had many bushel of
peaches and grapes each season from
them. If the peach is planted, [ would
suggest placing a wire guard at base of
trees, as the young stock may ''get busy"
and girdle them.
There is very little danger of over
feeding chicks during their "colony house"
life. Their capacity for eating seems
unlimited, and it pays to feed we'll. Fur
nish what green food you can and sup
ply fresh water, grit and beef scraps.
This with shade and clean quarters
should give well-raised youngsters that
you will be proud of later. The neglect
ed half-raised chicks are of but little
value, disappointment for any pur
pose.
One glance at flock of broiler-size
chicks is sufficient to show if their owner
is doing his part or has been neglectful
of the little details so necessary for sue
cess. It is the little things, left undone,
that cause so many vexations, losses and
troubles later on. Few people realize the

I must confess know very little
about doctoring chickens. My remedy

There is very little necessity of having

Sore head is a blood disease usually
appearing in late summer and fall. Sores

ing, fountains were seldom if ever emp

ed iti-s6me days, when not forgotten.
Here is where the "0ttnce of preven-
tion' comes in.
Scald the fountains occasionally. Dur
ing the six years on my former place,
with hundreds of birds, I had neither
roup, soreheads nor iiggers in my yards.
If those evils, especially "jiggers," were
necessary, 7 certainly would quit the
poultry business. The jiggers are
"ferce" proposition when once started.
They make their appearance usually in
long dry spells. They breed from the
droppings in dry sandy places, especially
in houses that have only dirt floor. They
can make life a burden to everything and
everybody OH the farm if we'll started.
The long dry winter two years ago
brought complaints from all sides about
iiggers, many failed absolutely in rails
ing chicks. That we were fortunate in
having none was doubtless due to the
daily cleaning of all the houses, and
mine who left his houses uncleaned until
the Esprit moved, ,''-and that wasn't
often-had several million or more of the
nests to contend with. None of his
family would venture in to gather the
eggs and when he did he was always
careful to pull on pair of rubber boots.
They are very difficult to get rid of. If
thev fasten to chicks heads, sulphur and
lard applied will kill them, but the only
way to rid the hen houses and yards
is to remove the fowls for about ten
days. clean and spray with some solu-
tion or crude carbolic acid, and they will
disappear.
By using the ounce of prevention, it
is simple matter to grow chicks right
and keep them in the pink of condi
tion from start to finish. We have an
ideal climate, good prices prevail for
stock and eggs, and by close attention
to the detail work, the business can be
made pleasant and profitable.

Southern Tariff Views.

The new view Of the protective tariff
which is gaining ground throughout the
South was represented at the Indianap-
oils convention by two speakers, Con
gressman R2nsden, Of Louisiana, and D.
A. Tompkins. Of North Carolina Both OF
them contended for tariff bin con
suueted on economic rather than on po-
HucaI lines. and both conceded the de-
STABILITY Of making use Of a tariff Oh
imports for the promotion Of our indus
trial interests. where that could be done
without violence 10 the general welfare.
Mr. RansdeH frankly confessed that he
came from a community which had been
benefited by the protective policy. and
that naturally he leaned 10 that side. He
declared that the whole South was rapid
" changing its opinion on this subject
Yet he admitted that great abuses had
crept into the tariff law which required
radical treatment He regretted that the
tariff question. so vitaHy concerning the
welfare Of every portion Of the country.
should ever have become a partisan one.
Mr- Tompkins started with the postu-
late that the main source Of our na-
uonaI revenues would continue 10 be the
tariff on imports. and that the question
was as 10 how it should be laid. 1t
might be levied 50 as to benefit the
whole people by encouraging industry,
and he considered that better plan than
70 levy a horizontal duty on all articles Of
importation He would not levy tariff
that permitted the collection Of unfair
prices from the consumer, and thought
that a tariff commission would be useful
in determining whether the tariff were too
highly protective or insuficientIy so, and
also whether II were fixed at the best
revenue-producing point. Criticising our
tarif-makers, he said:
The present. method Of making the tariff is sort
