To Avoid as Well as Cure.

The crusade against consumption

sumptives-thatm must come later, but

poverty and to prevent you and yours

most children did not get slightly

of the law of natural consequences,

Buddhism and Opium.

Buddhism in modern China has fal
len into a shocking state of degrade
tion and decay, according to the cor
respondent OF the London Times, who
is travelling across the Celestial en-
pire. He says: "At the first inn,
where hot cakes were being sold, my
men rested. There was a temple
here. and ! went across to see it. The
priest politely invited me into the
guest room. He probably did not ex-
pect me to enter, but | did SO, and
found in a small room some twenty
men smoking opium or browsing after
the debauch. And it was the priest
who had supplied the opium and the
opium pipes. Could the Buddhist
faith as exemplified in its degraded
minister in China sink much lower?"

Prevention of Disease.

One of the greatest causes of dis
ease among fowls is from lice and not
disinfecting the poultry houses prop
erly. l have never had a contagious
disease among my fowls. Eighteen
years ago lost quite number from
timber neck. l did not know the
cause then, but by sad experience
learned lesson that has been worth
great deal to me. l never allow
any dead chickens or any other kind
of flesh to lay about where the chick
ems go. 1t is sure death to them If
they get maggots from any kind of
flesh.
For destroying lice and mites I fu-
migate my poultry houses with to-
bacco and sulphur, usually do this on
damp days, and is better if done once
week. We not only believe it is
good for the fowls, but for people.
We have not had a spell of fever
since we have been fumigating with
tobacco, while so many of our neigh
bors have fever every year. This
promises to be the greatest year in
poultry business, yet in my exper-
ience have never known eggs as high
as they were last winter. / have nev-
er had such a demand for eggs and
chickens; can't near supply the orders

their attitude to each other but neith-

negro shrugged his shoulders and
said, as Jack Johnson" The white
man said, I'm not Jim Jeffries, but
am damned good man." BY that he
gave the negro an uppercut. The i'm
