Many Chickens Die.

For number of weeks a strange dis
ease has prevailed among the chickens in
the neighborhood of Smallwood and East
view, and some persons have lost almost
their entire tlocks. Rev. w. L. Seabrook,
pastor of the Lutheran church, near
-Smallwood, wrote to the Maryland Agri-
cultural Experiment Station on the sub
ject, and has received the following re-
| Spouse -
Mr.. w. l.. Seabrook,
Westminster, Md.
Dear Sir :
Your letter of September 18th was re-
ceived at the College and then referred to
me. the Biologist Of the Experiment Sta
.tion.
| From your letter it would be difficult to
! say just what the disease is which is af-
fecting so many fowls in the Westminster
! neighborhood. If liz is Timber neck" as
some one there suggested it would be diff
cult to stamp out. Timber neck is usually
caused by maggots finding entrance to
the crop by eating decomposed material.
A bird having died and other birds pick
! ing at it often become infested with these
maggots. This produces a symptom of
/ timber neck.
4 During the last month several birds
have been sent to the laboratory for ex-
animation. The description of symptoms
! accompanying the specimens were similar
! to those you describe in your letter. In
most Of them discovered an animal para
site known as coccidium. These parasites
may infest the premises and are picked
up by the different fowls and after some
time cause destruction of the liver cells.
If such be the case the bird dies rather
| suddenly. Hundreds of birds may die
with such an infection. Unless the dis
ease is recognized early it is almost i'm
possible to cure it. The best methods for
eradicating the parasite from diseased
! birds are the following -
1t is evident that the treatment OF this
disease must principally be Of hygeiniC
/ and preventative nature. IL the disease
has existed for some time upon q farm
the roosting places. pens and feeding
grounds must be infected and the breeding
stock are affected in a chronic form and
are continually disseminating the infection.
This being the case adequate measures
must be adapted to free the premises from
the parasite before healthy stock can be
raised.
I think one OF the best disinfectants Ia
Zenoleum used in q 10 per cent. solution.
\ Ibis SHOULD De uSGu DIS d spray dUOut
the houses and utensils. The medical
treatment for this disease has not been
very successful. Among the remedies
most likely to be beneficial are iron suit
plate and potassium permanganate,
These may be given i'm the drinking
water Potassium permanganate should
be made up In u stock-solution by add
ing one teaspoonful OF the crystals to
one quart OF water. This should be
added to the drinking water until 1t is
| pink color. small amount OF iron
sulphate may be put IN the drinking
water EPSON salts should be used as
purgative and adds much in eliminating
! this infection. After passage of drop
pings, clean up, or the infection will
spread.
| Hoping this will be of some assistance
to you, am
Very truly yours,

show many points of disSimilarity.
The most notable lack Of agreement
between the progressives Of Wiscon-

New York fulsomely praises both

mands the initiative, referendum and

OF molten steel. The metal was at

THE STRONG
WOMAN
Copyright, 1910. by Associated Lit
erary Press.
By M QUAD

During the FIRST year Of her exist
ence the female who came to be known
as 1.-THE strong woman" was called
Hetty Davis. That was her correct
name. George Davis was farmer.
and both he and his wife were under
sized people. The infant was weak
ling, and the doctors frankly said that
the first symptoms of measles would
be the end of her.
At the age Of eighteen months Hetty
took start In life and was soon
known as "the big kid" She took
on fat and simply played with humps,
measles and whooplng cough. Her
weight at two years was that of the
average girl Of ten. She grew from
"the big kid to "the big girl" At
the age OF sixteen they were calling
her the strong woman" and that
title stuck TO her.
The Davis farm was worth marry
ing. and there was money In the bank
besides. There were young men and
bachelors and widowers who were will.
ing 10 marry It. They came counting
and were laughed at. but at length
the strong woman announced that on
certain day. If the SWANS would all
gather ut her farm, she would select
husband from among them. The
gathering numbered thirty. AS they
sat around casting Sleeps eyes at her
| she rose and said:
Gentlemen, | want man who can
control me. The man who wins me
must best me In a fair rough and tum
bic fight There are no other condi
tions."
There were only FIVE men out of the
thirty who wanted matrimony thai
way. Out OF the Eve there was wild
over forty years old who could NOV
hay and hoe more corn than any othel
for ten miles round. He stepped GU
on the grass and peeled his coat ant
vest and spat on his hands According
to authentic reports, he was n licke'
man In FIVE minutes. Not only that
but he carried still neck for the res
OF his life. The strong woman ha'
almost twisted his head or. and non
OF the others came forward as No. ?.
The farm was run by hired mer
Now and then for the first two year
they got impudent at times or did nc
keep up to their work. They wer
knocked unconscious, thrown over tn
fence into the road or sent away wit
broken bones. It was a great highwa

abroad all tramps would go six miles
around to dodge her farm. The strong
woman paid no attention to science
She lust waded right in any old way

The strong woman didn't pay much
attention to other women. She knew
they didn't like her and that they Cos
slped about her. but she continued to
pass il by for years. Then casual
remark rolled her. 4 certain woman
said that she was so homely that she
couldn't catch a husband. No homely
woman ever yet admitted that she was
homely. nor was there ever an old
maid ready tn admit that she had tried
and failed The strong woman sent
out notice that she had hit the trail for
husband No one responded. On
the contrary. men hid out In barns and
haystacks and trcmbled in their shoes

turned away with the remark:

He begged and pleaded and yelled
but there he stayed for four hours
more. Then came daylight and his
