AGREEMENT ENDS
POTASH DISPUTE

Washington, u; G. December al
lin that the potash controversy with
the German syndicate had been settled
was obtained here yesterday. The
agreement was reached last week US
ING result OF the direct negotiations
ectwcen the American buyers. tho Ger
man potash syndicate and the lndepen-
aent German potash mines, which were
begun last May through the efforts of
:hc state Department.
on the basis of the settlement the
Americans will cancel their contracts
With the Independents for potash al,

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

(By MRS. JOHN J. MOORE. MissourL)
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 1t to gasp for breath
and If not dislodged, shutting of its
supply of air.
Sometimes the worm can be twisted
out with horsehair. but this is q
severe remedy and other worms may
take its place.
The following is preventative and
will check the trouble at once:
Obtain the leaves of the common
WOODWORK, sometimes called Jerusa-
lem oak, plant which grows wild in
most places, having an erect shrub
berry stem and small. yellowish now-
ers. 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 quantity gathered for
future use.
