What tuberculosis and contagious
abortion are to the dairy farmer and
what cholera is to the farmer who
raises hogs, white diarrhea is to every
one who attempts to raise chickens.
The cause of this scourge has been
variously attributed to artificial incu-
baton and brooding, weakness caused
by inbreeding, lack of green food, too
much meat food, and so on without
limit.
AS matter OF fact this disease is
perpetuated through the breeding
stock. It does not arise. however.
from the causes commonly given.
When flock is attacked by white
dlarrhea there are generally few
that pull through and make a half re-
covery. Some OF these are pullets. and
along in March or April they begin to
lay little. There is no way OF dis
tinguishing these eggs from the others
and a certain proportion Of them find
their way into the incubator or under
the hen. A few of them hatch along
with the others. In less than week
an epidemic OF white diarrhea APP
pears.
The chicken which seemed to have
gotten over the attack never really
got rid OF the disease. The germs re-
manned in the body and. IL the chick
way into the ovary. AS the egg yolks
developed the germs worked their
way into them. AS a result. part OF
the chicks had diarrhea before they
were Matched. The rest OF them prob
ably caught 1t before they left the tn
cubator as a result Of picking up the
droppings OF the infected chicks. Most
Of the spreading of the disease seems
to occur during the first four days
after Matching.
The preventive measures for spring
will be taken up In another article
later. II the work that can be done
this fall and winter is well done. very
likely the preventive measures In the
spring will not be SO necessary. 1t
has been found at the Storrs expert
ment station that the ovaries OF the
infected hens have peculiar appear
ance. No matter how badly infected
the ovary may be. large number or
ova appear normal. The larger In
fected ova appear decidedly angular in
shape. Sometimes the change OF color
Is slight, but generally they are either
bright yellow or almost black.
In order to make an examination OF
a living hen. make an incision be-
tween the last two ribs just as In
caponizing. The ovary may be plainly
seen. Every female that shows an
infected ovary should be discarded at
once. II the work is carefully done
| during the fall and winter months
there will be no outbreak next spring
as there was last II reasonable SAM
tary precautions are observed.

A Hobby Luncheon.

A college girl described this affair
10 me, and saw its possibilities even
Cor those not in the hey-dey OF youth,
for who of us hasn't some hobby
which we ride, either fast or slow, and
IN some instances lit" rides US. The
guests were eight girls. all students
at the same university. and all next
to each others whims and fancies.
The centerpiece was a small hobby
horse ridden by dolly dressed In
cap and gown At each place were
small hobby horses with the name
cards attached by ribbons in the class
colors. No names were written. but
all found their places by the clever
drawing in pen and ink on the cards.
For instance, the girl with musical
ambitions found herself Ten years
hence with a hand organ and
monkey grinding out Home. Sweet
Home" The stout girl (she called
herself plump was represented rolling
down hill with the words, Il have lost
one-eighth of a pound" the maiden
who was to be teacher Gin her own
mind). was depicted as fashionable
society woman playing bridge; and the
golf-girl found herself with Cupid peer
ing out of her bag and the words, "A
clever stroke" underneath. When all
were seated the hostess asked each
one to explain why her hobby was
commendable. and she told them to
look under their place plates. and
there they found quantity worded tn
vitations asking them to meet her ten
years from date and see how the
hobby horses had been ridden. II i'm

be sent to be read aloud. At the I'm

a visiting guest passed cards bearing
the last name of her friend. The com
