KINGS GEORGE, PETER AND FER
DlNAND SEND THEIR DECLA-
RATlONS TO THE SULTAN.
TURKISH VICTORY PREDICTED
Short Hostilties Expected Because
All States Are Poor and Un-
repared-,BuIgaria Is
Disappointed.

London, Oct. 19.-Wtih the declara-
ton of war against Turkey by Greece
the Balkan lineup against the sultan
was completed. 1t is evident the war
will resolve itself in a land campaign
by the concerted armies of Bulgaria,
Se<via and Montenegro and naval
campaign between Turkey and
Greece.
Servia sent its declaration of war to
Constantinople, and its action was fol-
lowed Immediately by Bulgaria and
then Greece. King George then sent
a fraternal greeting to the allies.
By the suddenness with which it as
Sumed the actively offensive, Turkey
unquestionably has taken the Balkan
quadruple alliance by surprise, de-
spite their assertions of preparedness
for the struggle, according to mes
sages from disinterested military eX-
perts at the front.
The allies did not delay their decia-
rations of histilities, it appears, from
any desire to avoid a clash, but be-
cause they were not ready for war.
Bulgaria Disappointed, Calm.
Bulgaria in particular, it was
learned, was greatly disappointed at
the unsatisfactory nature of the peo-
pies response 10 Car Ferdinand's
call to the oolors. 1t was expected
that 350,000 fighting men would be
mobilized within few days. The
force actually mustered did not ex-
ceed 250,00o. Bulgaria is by far the
most formidable of the four nations in
arms against the sultan. and the unex-
pected indifference manifested by its
reservists was heavy blow to the al
lies hopes.
simultaneously with handing the
Bulgarian and ServiaE ministers their
passports, the sultan ordered an inva-
sion of Bulgaria. and his troops, after
two-hour journey, crossed the from
tier at Kirkillisse, near Adrianople.
Fighting began there and was still 60
ing on at last accounts, but there are
no details.
Reports from Vienna, Serajeve and
Constantinople say the Montenegrins
were severely defeated at Bylopolje,
but there are no details.
Montenegrin Loss Heavy.
The Montenee rim losses in the last
few days have been considerable.
They include 900 killed and the loss
of eight guns at Kranie, in the neigh
borhood of Scutaria, on Oct. 10. 1t is
rumored that Gen. Martinovitch is
withdrawing his army from that place.
Two influences are expected to
make the war short and sharp. The
first is the approach of winter; the
second is financial pressure. None of
the belligerent states is in position
to stand the strain of prolonged mill
tary operations. European diplomats
predict a Turkish victory.
Two hundred Arnaut tribesmen
were killed in battle with Servian
troops on the frontier near Priepelie,
in the northern part of the Saniak OF
Novipasear. The tribesmen attacked,
but were repulsed by the Servians.

MITE IS CAUSE OF DISEASE
Parasite Excavates Place Un.
der Skin Where They Live and
Breed-Treatment Needed.
CBy II. B. SPECK.)

(By II. Il. SPECK.)
A minute mite is the cause Of con.
| tagious disease affecting the eggs of
turkeys, pheasants. partridges and
cage birds. According to some au-
thorities It sometimes affects the comt
and beak also. The mites excavate
places under the skin. where they live
| and breed.
This very common disease is easily
recognized by the enlarged roughened
appearance 1t gives the foot and
shank. The disease is present in most
fiocks unless especial care has been
taken to exclude it. 1t Is slightly
contagious, but usually only a few
birds in flock appear to be infected.
The scales on the foot and leg of
an affected bird are raised by a crusty
substance deposited beneath them
The LESSONS usually appear first near
the joints. between the toes and foot.
The parts affected first appear to be
enlarged and then the scales are
raised. giving roughened appear
ance.
In early stages the disease does not
appear to disturb the general health
OF the fowl. AS 1t progresses the bird
becomes lame and sometimes the foot
becomes so badly diseased that joints
or even whole toes drop off.
The Infection from bird to bird prob.
ABLY takes place on the roosts or from
mother to chick The conditions
which favor Its spread in a flock are
dry, barren runs. especially on aka
line soils or In yards filled with ashes
or cinders. Foul roosting places also
favor the spread of the disease.
The disease is easily cured and 1t is
worth the trouble of any poultry man
to cure all the affected birds and to
carefully examine any birds purchased.
that infected ones may be treated be-
fore they are introduced into the
flock.
individual treatment Is necessary.
Penetrating oils and ointments are
used successfully. If the case is not
far advanced application of oil or oint-
ment at intervals of two or three days
will soon do the work.
OIL of caraway Zone part Of oil of

should be rubbed into the leg and foot
every few days until signs of the dis
ease disappear Another remedy is a
mixture Of one part Of coal oil, or

WATCH FOR SAN JOSE SCALE
Many Who Are HarborIng Little Pest
Do Not Suspect Its Presence
Small Lens Useful.

(By B. L. PUTNAM.)
The culturist cannot escape punish
ment for negligence on the plea of
ignorance.
Those at the head of the agricul-
tural department of Pennsylvania de-
clare that large percentage of the
orchards Of the state are infested
with San Jose scale. yet it is safe to
say that many who are harboring the
pest little suspect its presence.
A Boston woman writes that three
times day through the season did
| go out and gather up the gypsy moth
and destroy It," her love for her mag
nificent trees being sufficient incen-
tive. Yet the caterpillars which evad-
er her vigilance will be on hand next
year to bother her or some one
else.
This last summer for the first we
noticed chicory in some of the
meadows to which 1t was before
foreign In other places it has be-
come nuisance, despite the beauti-
full blue dandelion-like blossoms. No
doubt the farmers will soon cease to
regard 1t merely as a stray. For when
such things come. they come to stay
unless opposition is given.
The orange hawkweed has gradual.
ly gained ground from the east to
the middle west, and yet many who
have It on their farms little suspect
its true nature.
We war against toads. when they
are really helpers, for save few ven
omous snakes in the mountains and
deserts. even this despised form has
its economic value. And yet the
little nuisances slip in and we
give them at least no inhospitable re-
ception.
The use OF small lens will serve
as a good detective, whether It is
directed upon the seed bin, or
the bark of our fruit trees. Cul.
tivate the habit Of observation along
with your crops; 1t Is a most con.
venient product when rightfully
used.
