USING ALCOHOL IN HOSPITAL
Out Of 1929 Patients Spirits Were Ad
mlnlstered to but Three, All
Three Proving Fatal.

The London Temperance hospital
has for 40 years treated diseases and
accidents without the use of alcohol
At the last annual meeting of its
board of directors, Sir 7. Veyez, who
took the chair in the absence Of Lord
Alverstone, the president, said its
progress had been continuous and sat
isfactory. Last year the hospital had
2774S outpatlents and 1923 in-pa-
tients. OF the 1879 cases alcohol was
only administered in three, and he
regretted to add that all those three
proved fatal. Sir Victor Horsley said
this hospital had been a pioneer in
medical science. The old routine was
represented by three D's-diet, drugs,
and drink, and 1t was long before the
profession as a whole followed the
lead of that hospital in getting rid
Of the last item. Sir Victor corrected
the common notion that 1t was impos-
sible to prepare certain tinctures and
medicines without alcohol.

ONE HOT WEATHER TROUBLE
When DIarrhea First Makes Its Ap-
pearanee II May BE Checked by
Use Of Charcoal.
cBy H. B. SPECIFY

Dlarrhea is one Of the most COM
mon hot weather troubles in poultry
Of all ages, and when it makes its
first appearance, charcoal freely fed
may check or control the disorder. Di-
arrhsa may be due to food or drink
ing water being foul with droppings
or other filth; to feeding impure,
musty and moldy food; to overhead
ing; to feeding in dusty, musty or
moldy litter; to unclean quarters and
dampness; to overlooking on meat
food or feeding spoiled meat; to eat
ing poisoned substances or to indiges-
ton from any cause. The first thing
to do when diarrhea makes its ap-
pearance is to find the cause and re-
move it. Drinking from filthy pools
in unclean runs after a sudden show
err, or drinking barnyard seepage is
common cause of diarrhea In hot
weather.

Don't forget to sprinkle lime on
drop boards, not too much, for it is
hard on the chickens feet.
No matter what kind of a vessel
holds the fowls drinking water, it
should be kept In the shade these

Do not put males in adjoining pens

Let the geese search for food in the

Destroying Weeds.

A good system of rotation, that in
cludes cultivated crops, offers the best
means of combating the common weeds;
but its success is almost entirely de-
pendent upon the manner and persisten-
cy with which the soil is cultivated. To
insure reasonable success, the disk and
harrow should be used frequently while
the weeds are still small, and the crops
while growing should be given frequent
cultivation.

Nitrogen is worth at least eight cents
a pound. A horse will produce fifteen
tons of manure and litter year, con-
tanning one hundred and thirty pounds
of nitrogen. At eight cents pound, the
value of that manure Is $1O.4O. 1t pays
to save it. Experiments have shown
that liquid and solid manures when kept
together deteriorate much more rapidly.
Also the more compact the manure is
stored away from the weather, the leas
loss will result.
