ed as child of the state. In order

duty by the farmers OF the state, it
has from year to year organized short
practical courses the first ten days of

him an opportunity to secure at a

try, live stock production, agronomy

cATARRH IN CHICKENS.

Husbandry.
Question-How would you prevent
or cure cata- I'll in chickens?
A chicken affected with a cold, or
catarrh, should receive immediate. at
tention, for while this disease in itself
is not serious, it is liable to develop
into roup if neglected. Usually a
cold Is caused by exposure during a
cold spell of weather, by draughts
of air over the birds while they are
on the roosts, by damp atmosphere
and wet weather, or by improper
housing conditions.
In many cases the bird will get
well without doctoring il the condi-
tons which caused IT, cold In the
first place are re- owed. A little red
pepper given in the mash often helps
them along. If the trouble is more
serious the nostrils, eyes and mouth
should be washed out with 3 per
cent. solution of Boracic acid. Or If
roup is suspected dip the head of the
fowl in a 1 per cent solution of po-
tassium permanganate, holding 1t
there 20 or 80 seconds. Pepeat this
treatment once or twice day until
fowl is cured. A little work when
the trouble is first noticed may pre-
vent lot of work later when the dis.
ease has good start

For Burglar .

Buffalo, N. Y, December 3d.
Tom Coyle is a good sailor, but
he had no luck in his imitation of
Santa Claus. For a shipmate,
Mike Feeney, he agreed to play
the part and by dropping Gown
the chlmneg of an old farm house,
he proposed to surprise Feeney's
only brother and effect recon-
Citation between the boys who
had been estranged for years.
1t was big old-fashioned Chin
ney and the agile Coyle dropped
down with ease, but at the bottom
it had been papered over as it was
cut of use. He popped through
the paper like a circus clown,
bringing with him a shower of
bricks and SCOT.
He had lost his Santa Claus
whiskers, forgot the speech he was
to make and was mistaken tor
burglar. He was beaten badly by
Feeney's brother, but the latter
allowed him to escape with his
life. Coyle reiolned Feeney on the
outside and both fed.
