A CURE FOR THE eAPEs.

Dear Sisters: I will send you a cure
for Gapes Gapes are caused by
worms in the windpipe of chicks be-
tween six AMI eight weeks old. Spray
or sprinkle runs. houses. etc, with
water in which has been put a little
disinfectant. Do not feed on the
ground as they pick UP the worms.
Keep the place well disinfected.
There are several remedies. One
good one is to dip a feather that has
been stripped within half an inch OF
the end in turpentine and insert ii
into the windpipe, turn cnce and with
draw.
Another is to give piece of cam
phor about the size of grain OF
wheat.
Still another easy way is the lime
dust treatment; put chicks in a box
over which place thin cloth or bur-
lap is stretched. and sprinkle slaked
lime on the cloth. The chickens will
sneeze and the worms come up. The
worms should be burned
Give chicks plenty of fresh air, and
don't use too much lime. If -ou have
sprouts on potatoes. turnips. onions

Lavender again and know that she was

any one can be happy in a fat in the
summer time. I do so love the beau

time, and love to watch the buds and
blossoms unfolding and breathe in
their sweet perfume. Certainly all Ma
ture at this season seems to be telling
us to grow and enlarge our capabilities
for doing and giving to others and to
keep our lives beautiful and free from
the spots or stains of sin.
