ovERNMENT HAS OF
IN A STATES

Experience in the growing Of alfalfa
for more than 1000 years shows that
it thrives best in the soil and climate
of arid and semi-arid regions. The
abundant sunshine, the warmth, and
the deep, rich soil prevailing through
out the western half of the United
States seem to be we'll suited to its
requirements, and over half century's
experience has shown that there Is
comparatively little cultivable land ia
the west on which it cannot be grown.

GAPEs AND THEIR CURE

Gapes in chickens is due to the pres
sure of a small round worm in the
windpipe, usually attached to the mu
cous membrane from which they OBJ
tain nourishment. If care is taken to
detect and remove the first case of
gapes as soon as it is discovered there
is little danger of it's spread. Thor
oughly clean and disinfect the poultry
quarters.
To remove the worms from the trachea
use feather stripping the vane till
only a small tip remains at the end. By
inserting it, wet with kerosene or tur-
pentine, into the chicks trachea when
it breathes, if carefully given a few
turns. it will loosen the worms and
then they can be removed.
After little experience this can
be done easily. Destroy all the worms.
After the treatment the chicks should
be isolated until all danger is passed.

A more inexpensive way is to hang a
neat wooden box, well cleaned, on
strong nails or spikes outside the win

a tight fitting hinged lid and be lined
with asbestos paper to equalize ex-
tremes of temperature, while a lining
of oilcloth will admit of easy cleaning

James McDaugal, of this city, met
with a painful accident at Fairmont
last night. MIR. McDaugal had been
making a business call at one of the

without medical attention. He was
suffering considerable pain but left
