phine-users or even a majority of them begin

is distinct and Is usually acquired without any
preliminary pipe experience, but the road from
opium TO morphine is open and easy.
Cocaine the contrary, bears relation to
opium. 1t is not a derivative; it gives entirely
different sensations: and it is a separate and dis
tinct habit 1t is allied to opium only in this:
the morphine victim occasionally turns to cocaine
for relief when trying to break himself of the

lice. there occasional "fends" far gone

occasional connection between the cocaine

that makes 1t necessary to include cocaine in
discussion of opium and its derivatives is not al
together without justification.

Treatment of Sick Fowls.

In the majority of cases the sick

case with fowls sick with the roup.

HatchabIe Eggs.

Eggs from hens two years old mated
with a cockerel about one year old
usually hatch better than those from
pullets and produce stronger chicks,
but as the hens are liable 70 become
fat more readily than pullets it often
happens that eggs from fully matured
pullets hatch best. Pullets should be
mated with cock at least Is months
old, and they should be well developed
and fully grown. The first egsz from
pullets are sometimes very small, and
in using eggs for Matching select none
but those of average size and of even
shape. When pullets begin TO lay at
five months old the eggs may hatch
well. but It is best not to use eggs
from them until they are older.
