CURING GAPES IN CHICKENS
Satisfactory Plan Is Use OF Very
Dusty Variety of Air-sIaked Limo
In the Breeders.

Gapes Is a disease usually found II.
young chicks rather than in old birds.
A satisfactory method of treating
gapes is to use very dusty kind of
air-slaked lime In the coops and
breeders. The moving about of many
little chicks will stir up dust which,
entering the nostrils and windpipe,
causes the gape-worms In the trachea
to be sneezed up when they fall into
the lime and die. Lodging In the mem
brane and the windpipe. these worms
set up an irritation.
Many devices constructed of wire
and horse hair have been tried, but
usually with poor success, often times
resulting fatally for the chicks. The
only precaution to observe in using
the lime dust treatment is to provide
plenty of fresh air, and If the air
becomes very dusty, to leave the
chicks in 1t for only an hour or so.
Another method sometimes accom-
panied with danger but not If care
fully done is to expose the head of the
diseased chick In the thick fumes re
sultipg from heating carbolic acid III
an iron spoon over burning lamp
The burning fumes of turpentine or o.
sulphur are practically as effective Il
properly applied.

HIS HEROIC
RESCUE
By BELLE MANDATES

Denny Waters of the life saving
crew stood disconsolately on the pier
looking into the still deep waters of
the lake. 1t was the spring of the
year and Denny's fancy turned, though
not lightly, to thoughts of love- They
had turned thenceward for some time
in fact ever since he had met Lefty
Allen at the big Masonic ball last
winter. He had always been equal to
every occasion heretofore. but now
whenever he was In Letty's presence.
his hands and feet seemed in the way.
an impeachment came into his speech
and he felt painfully self-conscious
He was making no Roadway in his
wooing. Only tonight Tom Winters
would be taking her to party. He
felt that he must do something des-
perate and do it soon to bring himself
favorably and wholly into the lime
light to attract Betty If only he
could save a lifei But everyone
seemed to keep away from the big
lake, and It was yet too early for the
bathing resorters.
With sigh Denny looked up the
street that came to sharp incline
down to the lake. On one memorable
night, Lefty on her way home from
the Office where she was employed as
stenographer, had come down this
street to the pier to watch the sun
glints on the water He always looked
for her second coming. No such vi
sion as Lefty met his eye now; only
small boy whistllng shrilly as he
carelessly propelled baby cab. came
down the street.
Suddenly the warning clang of fire
engines was heard. The small boy
turned to view the hook and ladder
outfit as 1t passed on the street above.
In the excitement he released his
hold on the handle of the baby peram-
bulator, which shot down the hill,
passed the life saver and went into
the lake.
Denny made a swift plunge and
came to the surface, bearing the cab

Brains Needed In Hog Raising.

Success In hog raising is determined
by Intelligent daily, sometimes hourly,
care, attention to many small details
and good Judgment, writes H. M.
Cottrell in an exchange. When a
farmer decides to become hog raiser
he SHOULD plan to stay permanently
in the business.
Going into the hog business when
hogs are high, and going out when
hogs are low, Is not a paying bust
ness 1t is the farmer that stays in
the business year after year who
makes the money in the long run. He
can improve his herd each year by
careful selection and improve the
quality of his animals. He can grad
ually get around him at little expense
the buildings and yards and pastures
that he needs, and can produce his
crops and general farm management
so as to reduce the cost of raising
hogs to the lowest point.

HOW TO RAISE DAIRY CALVES
Wien Starting to Feed Give About
Three Quartz of Mothers MIX
This ls Critical Time.

The calf should be allowed TO re-
main with its mother two days after
birth or placed in an adjoining stall
and turned in to suck four or five
times each day Then the feeding by
hand is togun It is best to let the
calf so without food for "a hours, it
beine next to impossible to feed one
that Is NOS hungry.
When starting to feed give about
three quarts of mothers milk, warm,
this being the most critical time re-
quiring considerable patience, writes
j. l.. Taber of Macoupin county, ILL
nois, In the Prairie Farmer. Enter
calf pen giving II your fingers; If it
sucks, there viii be no trouble, but
should 1t fail to do so, let 1t go until
next feeding time, when again you
enter calf pen giving 1t your fingers as
before. BY this time 1t certainly will
take your fingers; IL so, gently lead 1t
to pail with your fingers In it's mouth,
and when 1t finds that 1t Is milk that
1t is getting gently remove fingers and
1t Will drink the remainder. There
after calf will be no trouble, although
sometimes a start with the fingers
may be necessary. Feed the mothers
milk six to eight days. Then grad
ually begin to add skim milk, say one
half pint, decreasing the whole milk
accordingly, gradually increasing until
the feed Is entirely skim milk
One thing important when feeding
10 70 ri
this cannot be had without washing
and scalding after each feeding time.
While calf Is being put on full skim
milk ration keep before 1t some nice
bright clover hay IL one has 1t. A
box with oats and ground corn or
shelled corn should be within easy
reach at all times. 1t Is wonderful
how soon they will learn to eat of
each. The skim milk ration may now
be increased to one gallon, which Is all
that calfship should ever have at one
feeding.
In extreme cold weather 1t should
be warmed or hot water added to
make 1t the right temperature, as
nothing is more injurious than cold
milk. Next in Importance to feed is
their quarters. Keep them good and
dry by using plenty of bedding; fresh
air, too, must be looked after. Calves
are kept by themselves for a few
weeks or they form the bad habit of
sucking each other. When five or six
weeks old they are turned together
and fed in long trough The cost up
to this time Is $3.50 or $375; at the |
age Of six months they have cost |
about SIS each.

Bible on Long Trip.

Chicago.-In the fall of 1900 Ma
sons of Chicago started Bible on a

DEDUCTION THAT WAS TRUE
How Little Tommy Knew the Names
of People He Had Never Seen Be-
fore-Boy Was Right.

Tommy's mother had taken him to
church to hear the evening sermon,
and they occupied seats in the gal
lery. Tommy tried not to allow his
attention to wander from the preach
er, but 1t did He seemed to be par
ticularly interested in family who
sat In front of him, and when the
sermon was about half over he whis-
pered to his mother:
Mamma, l never saw those people
before, but l know their names"
Hush, dear!"
But 1 do persisted Tommy.
Their names Hill"
How do you know"
Every time the preacher says his
text, I will lift up mine eyes to the
hills those two big girls look at each
other and SMILE"
Subsequent inquiry proved that
Tommy was quite correct.

voice Of concern, you're dripping wet.

In spite of Denny's protests that he

brought him a cup of warm tea to
drink.

Either the hot tea took the tangles
out Of Denny's tongue, or else the in
timacy of the kitchen in such cosy
contrast to the front parlor freed him
from his selfconsciousness.

blurted frankly. 81 was glad OF an

NO WATER IN THIS WELL
suburbanite Attempts to Be Indepen-
dent of His Cistern-Laborers
Find Everything but Water.

Once upon a time a man went into
the country to live. and when he had
located he found himself in the midst
of drought and with a tin cistern
filled with muddy water as his only
source Of supply.
He thought and thought, and finally
decided to dig q well. There was a
depression in the ground that might
or might not have been well and
this he purposed to excavate.
With some labor he procured the
services of two negroes, and had the
satisfaction of seeing them swiftly
throw out soft dirt until one was far
below the surface of the ground.
Then the man in the country went
blithely to town to attend to business
and thereby make enough money to
pay for digging his well.
Ere he departed he said to one OF
the negroes:
Nov, don't you come out of there
until you strike water"
mo. subj" grinned the negro; Il
don wan come twell | hits watuh, "
To the other he said:
Hear that. don't you? Well, don't
you let him out of there until he
strikes water"
"Yessuh," said the negro: I'm keep
him dah."
About noon the man-in-the-country
went to his city telephone in answer
to a call.
"Dishea's BILL" explained voice.
You toll me not to let day nigguh
come out de well. Well. he wasn't t
come out"
whats the matter with him ?"
asked the man.
He's done struck a oil stick o
dynamite down dab"
Tell him to throw 1t out and go
ahead" said the man; he's got to
oet water before he comes out"
In about an hour the phone rang
again.
"Dishea's BILL" said the same voice.

Whats the matter nowf asked
the employer.

ployer excitedly; poke him with

Sand-Supported Pier.

of building part of the immense struc-
ture on sand. for the test load of 90S
tons of the concrete pier exceeded by
sc per cent the maximum load that
will ever be put on this particular
support, even under the most extreme
conditions of wind pressure, and the
pier used for the test was purposely
chosen as being the weakest link In
the chain of piers comprising the
foundations Of the building.
This 40-story structure, the latest
of New York's mammoth skyscrapers,
is the municipal building being erected
at the Manhattan terminus of the
Brooklyn bridge. The engineers have
calculated that total vertical load
of $4,000 tons will have to be sup
ported by the foundations under the
most extreme conditions of loading
and wind pressure, force that would
absolutely crush a solid castiron col
umn of about ten feet In diameter
Owing to the fact that quicksand
underlies the site of the building, some
extraordinary engineering problems
had to be solved In its construction,
and these we're rendered still more diff
ficult inasmuch as only 6S of the 106
concrete piers could be sunk by the
pneumatic caisson process to reach
the solid rock. The others had to
bear on sand and this was the reason
for making a direct bearing test on
the most unfavorably situated of the
remaining 3s piers, to make sure that
they would support and transmit
through the sand to the underlying
rock the load of six tons per square
foot they have to bear. The rock-sup
ported piers carry Is tons per square
foot.
The test was extended over a pc
Rod of "a days, the load being added
gradually for IL days and left in 20
sition for a week before being re
moved The pier tested is 10 feet
inches in diameter and "a feet
inches deep. A grillage of two tier
of 24sinch Lbeams was laid over
bed OF 3-inch plank placed on top o
the pier, so as to form cross meas
uring 15 feet by 20 feet in extrem
dimensions. On this were placed tn
loading blocks of cast iron. weighing
about $500 pounds each.
