scribable, sharp, catarrhal "roupy
smell" which often develops hours
ahead of other signs. Then come a
thickcninE nasal discharge, swelling
around the eyes, dullness, ruffling OF
feathers, darkoning of comb and wat
ties, and frequently canker and fever
As TO treatment, Immediately isolte
any bird at the first sign and thor
oughly disinfect the house, drinking
and watering vessels. For this there
is nothing better nor cheaper than
some of the reliable coal tar disnfec-
tants now on the market. They are
nonpoisonous, powerful and necessary
on every well kept plant. Careful feed
ing and use of a reliable roup cure as
a preventive will check any spread OF
the disease. 1t may be well to add
here that every poultry plant, whethcr
large or small, should be provided with
a hospital. a building apart from the
others and of sufficient size to hold a
dozen or fifteen birds. 1t should ne
provided with plenty of windows 10
admit air and sunshine and have a
board floor. The sick birds should be
kept i'm separate coops and fed and wa
tered separately.
The question Of individual or gem
cral treatment must be determined by
the owner according to conditions. or
course individual treatment is more
positive and scientific, but 1t IN
wolves a little more labor. The nasal
passages and cleft of the mouth
should be syIingcd with weakened
dsinfectant, using an eye dropper or
small oil can. Unusually large swell

the chcesy matter extracted and the

may remain a good exhibition bird or
valuable for meat, never use it as n

of his uclghbors have logged along i'm tho
same old way of raising tuhcrs. They
think they cannot afford to spend money
as he does, overlooking that it costs as
much per acre to plant and cultivate n
poor crop a. good one. The average
tillcr Of the soil says he cannot afford to
adopt better methods, but as a matter of
fact he cannot afford not to adopt more
profitable methods
Commissioner Brlgham's neighbors. for
the most part, have logged along in the
same old way and this despite the exam
ple of success he has offered them. This
does not mean that his nelghbors are not
successful. for the most Of them are.
thanks to fertile soil and other favorable
circumstances, hut the fact remains that
they have not reached the highest noint
of success If the Messenger understands
it correctly. Mr. brigham has been SO
crowded with orders for seed potatoes
that he has tried TO interest some of his
neighbors in raising this kind Of crop.
but without any substantial success.
Now. Mr. Brghams neighbors are not

would not be difficult to establish the
fact that they are above the average
! Nevertheless. they don't want to make a

! The Messenger remembers statement
made by one Of the foremost agricultural
professors OF the country, who Visited

! "rho farmer is his own worst enemy.
/ Everyone is trying to do something for

DEER HUNTING BEGINS.



Another deer hunting season opens in
Vermont and while it continues there
will be anxiety and fear among those
who have friends who venture into the
woods in quest of game. Fatalities OF
past seasons have made it gruesomelY
clear that during the hunting season the
woods are about as dangerous for the
hunter "a for the deer and this has led
many thoughtful citizens to the belief
that as Il means of preventing the annual
sacrifice of human life the abolition of
the open season entirely would he justi-
fable.
1t is hardly probable public sentiment
has crystallized sufficiently as yet to Sc
cure from the Legislature such action
as would he necessary to put an end al
together to the dangerous sport of deer
hunting. but II ought to he potential
enough to secure legislation that will pro-
vide regulations under which greater So
curity against fatal accidents will be as
sured. IT does seem as n the applicant
for a hunters license ought before It is
issued to him to he compelled to show his
fitness to have such a permit
At present any person however inex-
nerlenCed IN the use OF lrearlnS or IN
woodcraft can obtain a license to hunt
and it is a melancholy fact that many of
the tragedies of the hunting season are
the result of ineXperiencc or rccklessncss.
If tyros and those of thoughtless and i'm
petuous temperament could hc kept out
of the woods there would be fewer fatali-
tics and fewer saddened homes as re-
suit Of deer hunting. Certainly greater
restrictions In the matter OF issuing H.
| censes would be a step in the direction OF
conserving human life in the Greer
Mountain state.

COST OF EXPERT WITNESSES.

G'rom the Rrattlcboro ReformerJ
Commenting on n recent statement in
the Reformor about the cost of expert
witnesses the Londonderry Sitter thinks
the cause of Justice would be furthered
If not more than two experts were used,
and these take the witness stand with
out being interviewed on the case by any
one on either side Then the jury would
have more faith IN the expert evidence;
and if medical terms were dropped and
plain English" used, tho money Paid
for evidence would be well spent. But
under the present system either side may
hunt around for a doctor whose under
standing of cause and effect corresponds
to what is desired to be proved, and this
doctor used as an expert Is 1t any Won
der that We find the experts disagreeinE
before the jury; and is It any wonder
that the jury Is at n loss to know what
to believe? Some day this loose method
OF getting expert evidence into case
Will be lacked up to where It belongs.

SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS IN
VERMONT

(From the Rutland NeWs)
If every deer hunter was a real sports
man the outcome of the hunting season
would not be viewed with great alarm
But a considerable proportion Of them
have not strict regard either for rules of
sport or the statutes. 1t Is permissible
legally for one hunter to kill only one
deer between five o'clock in the morn
ing and five O'Clock in the afternoon Of
a secular day, and the quarry must have
antlers at least three inches In length
But It is n matter Of common knowledge
that where party Of hunters are camp
ed together one member, after he Sc
cures the deer to which he is entitled.
frequently has no hesitation in killing
one or more others If he has opportunity,
and do this in the name of his compan-
ions, This is plain violation of the law.
Furthermore, the experience Of every
deer hunting season has shown that some
people, hunters or otherwise, are other
wounded or killed by carelessness Based
upon this experience, the prediction is
safe that some people will pay the pen
atty for the deer hunting season of tho
next three weeks with their lives.
Perhaps gamehogs ana careless and
reckless hunters are not open to sugEcs-
ton. Nevertheless the most urgent care
upon the part of hunters and the utmost
watchfulness upon the part of game war
dens. is advised to the end that CASUAL
ties be eliminated and the law respected
