Sour Milk viii Save Chicks

One of the main causes Of death
among chicks is white diarrhoea. This
Is very prevalent and investigations
have shown conclusively that the or
iginal source is often from parent
stock. Many chicks have the disease
when Matched, and others contract it
from them, through feed and forage in
infected litter or grounds. This trans
mission from chick to chick is com.
mon during the first three or four day
and this is the period of great danger
especially among chicks of low vitality
Inc symptoms are a whitish dis
charge from the vent, which results
in passing up behind The chicks
become listless and sleepy, lose appe-
tite, the feathers become ruffled,
breathing labored, and they constantly
peep or chirp. They may die suddenly
or gradually waste away.
This disease is being most carefully
investigated by the agricultural exper-
iment station at Storrs. Connecticut,
and the third report of their investi-
cation has been published. This re-
port recommends the feeding of sour
milk as the best thing to use for a
preventive of this disease. 1t advo-
Gates feeding sour milk from the very
first and keeping it before the chicks
constantly. The acidity of the milk
acts as germicide. Moreover the
milk Is an animal product which chick
require in some form and it is a great
factor in the growth and visOr of the
young flock. OF course the CONNER
cial chick feeds now so common are
fed and pure water supplied, but in ad
dition sour milk is kept before the
chicks constantly, the vessels being
cleaned and refilled daily during the
first few weeks.
Farmers and poultry raisers should
feed sour skim milk constantly, at
least after chicks are a few days old,
as a preventative of this dread dis
ease, and to stimulate their growth.
It also increases egg production in the
laying flock. Numerous experiments
have demonstrated that skim milk
and curds, or cottage cheese, are
among the most stimulating feeds for
poultry of all kinds, except very young
chicks. Many claim that sweet milk
is much safer until the chicks are at
least week or ten days old. There
is constant supply on nearly every
farm and it should be universally used
for the farm flock.-N. E. Chapman,

N. E. A. To Meet In Salt Lake

Salt Lake City, June o. Perhaps
5000 bathers will be floating on the
surface of Great Salt Lake on the
afternoon Of Tuesday, July 8. That
day the entire National Educational
Association convention, in this city
July to II, will adjourn to the bath
ing beach on the inland sea. What
with visitors and townspeople, it is
estimated that from $4,000 to 10000
persons will visit the resort that day
and at least one-third will be unable
to resist the tempting, light green wa
ters Of the lake. Since everyone who
bathes in the lake floats, the spectacle
Of 5000 or 80 men and women loung-
ing atop the water is promised.
Qualities Of the inland sea doubtless
win prove interesting to the educa-
tors and some interesting experiments
probably will be made. Tho broad,
shallow, mysterious body of water con
tains 20 per cent salt, giving it pro.
perties that sustain the human body
on the surface without exertion or
skill by the bather. Drowning is i'm.

sary for the veriest novice at aquatic
Is to avoid swallowing the water or
getting it in the eyes. To do thus
is most uncomfortable. Wherefore,
diving is not popular sport; more
over, the water is only few feet deer
for leagues around the Saltair pavilion
The pavilion, casino, boardwalks
and other properties of the bathing
resort are on the lake instead Of on
its shores. They are situated 1000
feet from the shore, yet the beach
here is as smooth and shallow as
hightide beach on the ocean. The
pavilion is an immense structure, moo
ish in design, and contains the largest
unobstructed dance floor in the world.
Also, 1t is perhaps the most demo
cratic dance floor in the world.
Any summer eevening at Saltair will

BEAR LAKE FULL
OF GREAT FISH
Game Department Has Secured 200,-
600 Native Eggs for Warm River
hatchery-Species Of Trout in the
Lake Being Determined.

The game department has been do
ing some very good work for the fish
industry of the state, during the past
two or three weeks, down at Bear
Lake, where all conditions have been
thoroughly investigated and much OF
interest was evolved.
The big lake is literally alive with
fish, and the matter of determining
tho varieties to be found in those wa
ters has proved an interesting task
to the fish culturists of the rshrdh
to the fish culturists of the depart
ment. Three varieties of trout have
already BEEN found, one Of them be-,
ing the large native, which must have
gone up from the streams. found good
feeding ground and remained, tho
others being blue-nose and silver
trout, both very fine varieties.
In taking spawn the past few days
the wardens handled native trout
weighing as much as thirteen pounds,
and there are larger ones in the lake.
1t is very rarely that one Of that size
is caught on hook. They were taken
at the mouth of streams, as they were
going up to spawn. The department
got 100000 eggs, which have been
taken to the Warm River hatchery,
and will probably secure 100000 more
before the work is finished. These
eggs were from native trout, which
are overgrown, and the conditions be-
ing excellent for food and breeding
| it is one of the hardest and finest fish
obtainable.
In addition to the blue-nose and sill
yer trout, which were doubtless plant
ed years ago by the federal authori-
! ties, there is a fine white fish in the
lake, different from the white fish OF
other streams and supposed to be the
Lake Superior white fish, which is one
of the best food fish known. The spe-
cies will be known in very short
time.
The next consignment of eggs will
be taken to the Hay Spur hatchery
and later returned to the lake, when
the fish are sufficient size. Thus
the department seeks conservatism OF
the fish.
The department has been operating
at St. Charles, and the big trout are
taken with gill nets, and expert
spawn-takers are on the ground Bear
Lake is one Of the finest bodies of
water in the west, and it is one of
the lakes on which commercial fishing
is done, there being special clause
in the game law regulating the mat
ter.-Pocatello Tribune.

TYPHOID DRINKING WATER

One Of the greatest dangers OF
the summer vacation is the summer
typhoid. People in the cities or
elsewhere where the quality of their
drinking water is unqueslionable,
and where some attention is paid to
the matter of flies, fall ready victims
to summer or vacation typhoid when
they 90 to our various summer re-
sorts, where the sewage and drink.
ing water are too closely related,
and where the flies and food are in
t;mate!y associated. Either of such
combinations is a dangerous prop
osition. No one knows just how
much of our summer typhoid is due
to bad water or how much is due to
flies. 80
Now. as to the water question, if
there is the slightest doubt as to the
quality of3the water, the following
simple remedy will make it safe
Get one-pouAd metal can of chlo-
ride OF lime, or bleaching powder.
Take a level teaspoonful of the
powder and few drops of water,
and make thin, smooth paste irl a
teacup. Then dilute this paste with
four cupfuls of water. Place%:this
stock solution in clean, stoppered
bottle and corked tight. This is
enough to disinfect ESQ gallons of
water. Use a teaspoonful of this
stock solution to two gallons Of
water. Stir well. and use III from
quarter to half an hour. If the
water has slight odor of chlorine,
use slightly less of the stock solu-
ton it takes to give a Slight odor to
the water, then use about one-forth
less than that quantity necessary to
produce odors. 80
Water thus treated is absolutely
harmless The chloride OF lime is
consumed by the water in ten or
fifteenminutes, and even if it were
not, in such small quantities it would
be harmless.
Fresh's stock solution should be
made every three or four days, and
the powdered lime should be kept in
a tightly closed can.
There is little excuse for flies,
even in summer resorts. The only
practical damage done by flies is in
polluting food and milk. They can
be screened out of kitchens, dining
rooms and cook Shacks with little
expense. Many summer landlords
can not be made to appreciate this,
but if with a suggestion or two good
screens are not Forthcoming, the
best plan is to patronize the other
resort. 1t will be the cheapest in
the long run
