One Of the best ways to start Is to
get six hens, and grow.
To successfully preserve eggs. per-
fsctly fresh ones must be selected.
Remember that it is the profit per
hen that counts. not the profit per
flock.
Milk is an excellent food for grow.
Ing chicks and. in fact, for any class
OF fowls.
It does not require much hard work
to keep a flock in good condition in
the summer.
The simplest form of intestinal dis
order to which chickens are subject Is
ordinary diarrhea.
Better that the chicks roost In the
trees than that they be confined In 4
vermln.rldden building.
There can be no question that lot
OF fowls die yearly from no other
cause than lack Of food.
The reputation Of giving a square
deal to every customer Is as necessary
as that OF breeding birds OF good quail
lty.
SkIm-milk is not a dear commodity
IN the poultry yard when its bene-
fclal effects upon the stock are con-
sidered.
Body lice Will worry a nock to
death, or so nearly so as to destroy
ltse usefulness. These can be killed,
but not easily.

MISSOURI CURE FOR GAPEs
Disease Most Prevalent in Damp
Weather, Caused by Worm In
Chicks Windplpe.

tBy MRS JOHN J. MOORE, MissouriJ
A most common disease among
chickens and one which causes great
loss in the summer is gapes This
disease, which is most prevalent in
cool, damp weather. is caused by
worms. which get in the young chicks
windpipe, causing It to gasp for breath
and If not dislodged, shutting on its
supply of air.
Sometimes the worm can be twisted
out with hOrsehair, but this is a
severe remedy and other worms may
take its place.
The following is a preventative and
will check the trouble at once:
Obtain the leaves OF the common
woodwork, sometimes called Jerusa-
lem oak. a plant which grows wild in
most places, havlsg an erect shrub
berry stem and small, yellowish How
crs. Its leaves when crushed have
an unpleasant odor and are used in
the manufacture OF vermifuge and to
protect clothing and furniture from
moths and other insects.
Mash the leaves and mix in a small
quantity with the chickens feed or
put in the drinking fountains.
Or, after the seeds have ripened,
they may be used instead OF the
leaves and a quantity gathered for
future use.

KEEP RABBITS OFF TREES
THE VENEER WRAPPER FOUND
EFFICIENT AND ECONOMIC.
BY w. X. Chandler, Assistant Pro-
fessor Of Horticulture, Col
iege Of Agriculture, Uni
versity Of Missouri.

Protection of young orchards
against rabbits is a matter that can.
not be attended TO too early. Where
orchards are valuable enough, the rab.
bits may be cumbatieG by means OF
rabbit-proof fences. In sections where
q great many orchards are located, by
combined efforts of the growers the
rabbits may be killed out in the com.
munity. In large percentage of
cases, however. they will have to be
combatted by protecting each indh
vidual tree
There are number II appliances
for protecting the trees against rab
bits but probably by far the best, IL
not also the cheapest, is the wood
veneer wrapper These are simply
very thin strips Of tough wood about
10 inches wide by Is to "a inches high
that are wrapped around the trees
The best ones have the base OF the
wrappers treated with a preparation
to prevent rotting
The wood veneer wrapper, before
being used, should always be moist
encd so it will wrap around the tree
without splitting The wrappers are
then placed around the trees with the
base pressed closely against the soil
and are fastened with small wires
The wires should be cut the proper
length before going into the orchard.
The ends of the wire are given only
one twist Sometimes one wire is
used and sometimes two.
These wood veneer wrappers are
beneficial also in protecting the trees
against horers SO, after they are
put on 10 is wcll TO mound the soil up
about two or three inches around the
base

FALL CARE OF THE FLOCK
c. E. Brashear, College Of Aerioul-
ture, University Of Missouri.

At this time Of year the most i'm
portant consideration in caring for
the flock is shelter. with the cold,
fan rains coming on the sheep are
nearly sure to get their fieeces wet
II allowed to run as they please, They
do not know enough to come in out
Of the rain a fleece at this time of
year holds 20 10 30 pounds of water
70 evaporate this by animal heat
means lot Of chilling before the
fleece is dry again Undue exposure
in the fall is nearly sure to lead to
catarrh with discharge at the nose.
As long as the pastures are good the
ewes will do well without grain. II
their pasture is short or II they are
Oh dry feed a handful Of oats or
bran each day should be allowed II
makes a wonderful showing on the
condition of the sheep when spring
comes Sheep that start in winter
in poor condition are likely to remain
thin and are likely to give birth to
weak lambs in the spring.
See that the flock has plenty Of ex-
ercise and plenty Of fresh air These
keep the ewes strong and help them
TO relish their food Every day the
flock should have the run Of lot or
pasture. The lambs win be stronger
for It.

PLOW THE CORN LAND NOW
By Prof. C. 3 Hutchinson, University
Of Missouri.

To plow the corn land in the fall
or winter is to take one of the first
important steps in raising a good
crop in 1918 And this is doubly true
il sod is to be turned under The
advantages OF fallplowing are these:
1t allows 4 better weathering
effect on the sol!
.. The plant growth turned under
rots sooner and is more available to
the corn plants.
9. Insects, especially wire worms
and cut worms, are exposed to the
weather and destroyed.
4. The surface is in the best condi.
tion to insure saturation OF the sub
soil during the winter and spriuE
rains
The spring work is lghtened
G. The soil has time to settle be-
sore the land is seeded and root
growth takes place m-re easily.
Proper handling of The land is one
Of several factors that determine the
sizes of our crops Only when all
conditions are made favorable can
the highest yields be expected.
II is true that cover crops and
manure cannot be put on fallplowed
land. But there is usually other land
needing the manure and we have not
YET adopted the use Of cover-crops
generally.

II it is possible. do not keep laying
hens or raise young chicks without
this very necessary article, even on
the farm. Place your coops for the
little ones near some shady place and
there scatter coarse suawy manure
about three inches deep, then keep 1t
moist at the bottom, If there is no
ram, and watch the little fellows go
down after the ansleworms that
flourish at the bottom, and you will
zee your chicks flourish also. The
currant brush is a good place.

Cost and all considered, the use
Of the veneer wrapper is to be recon
meuded in nearly an cases. The cost
Of the wrapper will vary from s. to
So thousand, depending on the
height The usual price is So a thou
sand for wrappers 20 inches high
They may be secured from almost
any box and basket company
Probably the next most important
means OF protection again rabbits is
the use OF heavy wrapping paper. This
paper should be in strips about 20
inches wide and should be wrapped
around the tree in at least two thick.
nesses extending to the ground at the
base It should be tied at the top,
bottom and middle. Since 1t is also
valuable in protecting against borers,
the earth should be mounded slightly
at the bottom as in the case of thC
veneer wrapper In few cases rab.
bits have been known to tear this
paper of.
/ Wrapping with wire netting is also
satisfactory, though more expensive
than the above methods. A coil spring
OF heavy wire around the tree seems
to be a very satisfactory protection
against rabbits, though these offer nc
protection against borc:s
/ II the orchard is small ana none oi
these materials are available, wrap

4 about 20 inches long set up around
them and tied is entirely satisfactory
