How to Clean a Coat Collar.

Often the collar of n coat begins to
look shabby when the coat itself is
still quite fresh, and it is wonderful
what a difference a thorough cleaning
will make.
First of all take a piece of clean
rag, dip 1t in spirits of turpentine and
rub the collar thoroughly with it.
Leave 1t for ten minutes. and then rub
It again with the turpentine and
scrape it carefully to remove any loose
dirt
Next sponge it with a little alcohol
or chloroform and keep wiping it I'M
til 1t is almost dry. Hang it up in an
airy place for an hour or two. and you
will be delighted with the result.

almost the entire flock. These dis
eases, like contagious diseases of man,
Hre caused by bacteria or germs.
These are tiny cells which gain en-
trance to the body and grow there.
Death is not caused by the germs
themselves, but by certain polsons
which they give off. After germs gain
entrance to the body theyAare difficult
to combat since anything that will XII
the germ will usually kill the fowl
also. Germs cannot gain foothold
In a perfectly healthy bird hence one
of the best means of combating con-
tagious diseases is by keeping the
flock so healthy that they cannot get
start. Another important measure
Is the liberal use of disinfectants
about the poultry houses and yards.
Plenty, of sunshine in the poultry house
will help to Keep 1t clean. Selling off
the old stock before it becomes feeble
and useless Is n great help, since 1t Is
these old birds that are the first to
succumb to unfavorable conditions.
,sOne Of the most serious of these con-
tdSlOuS ulSpuSGS is CuOleTu. L ne COLl-
mon symptoms are great thirst, list
lessness and yellowish or greenish
droppings. Heroic measures are need
ed to- stamp out this disease. All sick
fowls should be Killed and burned.
The yards and houses should be thor
oughly sprinkled with some disinfect-
ant solution. A coal tar dip mixture
is good, or carbolic acid may be used
at the rate Of one gallon to twenty gal
Ions of water. The drinking water
should be disinfected by adding one
part of corrosive sublimate to every
1000 parts Of water. There is no way
to cure the fowls after they once get
the disease. All that can be hoped for
is to save the well ones.
Probably the most common poultry
disease is roup. This is really a germ
disease, but the germs cannot well
get a foothold except under special
conditions. These are found when the
bird catches cold The germs work
mostly in the nasal passages, causing
a cheesy secretion that has a very dis

HOW TO PRUNE ROSES.
Different Systems to Produce Quality
or Quantity of Blooms.

DiHerent OyGtenS TO Produce Quality
or Quantity of Blooms.
The pruning of roses is a trouble
some matter to the amateur gardener
Different varieties require different
treatment, but a few general rules
may be laid down. The pruning of the
dwarf growing hybrid perpetuals may
be commenced in early spring
If large masses of flowers are want.
ed four or five canes may be left two
or three feet in length. This will give
a large number of flowers not of the
best quality. After blooming the canes
should be cut back slightly. so they
will harden for the next seasons
bloom. .......
A better method produces quality
rather than quantity. 1t consists in
cutting the canes to six or eight inches
above the ground. The first year only
three or four outside canes are allowed
to remain, few being added as the
plant grows stronger. Roses grown in
this manner require no stakes, as they
are usually very vigorous.
Cold winters often iniure the tops Of
the roses. while the roots are not hurt
The canes should he cut Just below
the point of freezing, which is often
close to the ground. Pruning early in
the fall is not recommended.
