If you desire to doctor them, treat as
soon as the earliest symptoms are
detected. Disinfect the poultry house
and runs with a FIVE per cent. solution
Of carbolic acid and repeat this disln-
lection at least once a week. Feed a
well balanced ration containing some
meat scraps. Burn all dead birds. A
far developed roupy chicken is worth
more dead than alive. One good rem

oil on the affected fowls head. This
is also excellent for common colds.
Peroxide pf hydrogen and water half

that as a rule gives the best results,
is a solution Of two ounces Of perman-

A good preventive is to dissolve
two ounces of permanganate of potash
in twelve parts of water and give to
all the birds to drink at least three
times week and on such days give
no other water to drink.
Remember, the very best preventive
is an abundance of fresh air without
draughts, plenty of sunshine and SAM

The Troublesome Tip.

1t may strike person as somewhat
CURIOUS that the fee handed to walt

cause there is nothing in the literal
meaning of the word that is in
any way significant. AS a matter
of fact the word is a manufactured
one and bears no relation to the word
tip.
1t was customary in former days for
some of the inns to have a small box
placed near room door, on which
were inscribed the words: ITO Insure
Promptness," This was intended as a
hint to the guest that If he wished to
be promptly waited on 1t would be

COCHIN is FAvORITE BREED
Four Varieties, Each Having Single
Combs and Differing Only In
Point Of Plumaee Color.

The question is frequently asked,
what Is the best breed of chickens?
The answer depends entirely upon
what purpose you wish them for, and
can be answered best by yourself
The larger birds are intended as
combination fowl. /. g., to produce
both eggs and meat IN desirable guam.
titles, while the smaller and more &C.
tive breeds are considered the egg
machines, and many breeders of them
claim excellent table qualities for
them, which no doubt they possess
the only objection being their small
size.
The Cochin is an old and popular
breed and has four varieties, each
having single combs, and differing
only in point Of plumage color, which
is: Buff, partridge. black and white,
the buff being the preference. Their
weights are: Cocks, II pounds; cock
erels, 8; hens, 81; pullets, 7.
The other varieties in this class
are: The Langshans, black and white.

MOST ECONOMICAL
OF ROUGH FEEDS
Silage Is Greatly ReIished by Al
most All Kinds Of Stock
Good for Milk.
CBy A. o. cHoATE)

II is usually estimated that It costs
70 cents to 81 per ton to put corn into
the silo, but know that my neighbor
and myself put It in for so cents or 60
cents at the outside, per ton.
/ find that on my farm can cut an
acre of corn yielding 10 to IA tons
and put 1t In the silo for 81, or about
so cents the ton.
The same acre Of corn would have
$50 bushels of ears that would cost
me IS in the husking alone, which.
with the cost Of cutting, shocking
shedding and grinding, cost me double
what 1t does to put the crop into the
silo
My silos last year were filled very
full, holding % acres, close to, or
quite 800 tons, and the total expense,
figuring men at S1.75 per day, would
be $3.50, exclusive Of The board for
the men.
In what other manner can one han.
die a crop of corn so cheaply and have
1t ready to feed right where 1t IL
wanted?
Not only is silage the most economi-
cal of rough feeds, which is, l think
the greatest claim that can be made
in its favor, but it is also greatly rel
ished by almost all kinds of live
stock and is absolutely necessary for
the production of maximum of milk
in the winter time.
1t is very easy, matter to tell by
the condition of the cows coat in the
winter time whether she is getting
silage, as its succulence has the same
effect on the system of the COW that
pasture grass has, and it keeps her
thrifty and in the best condition for
her everyday work
Silage is also more digestible and
nutritious than the same amount Of
dry feed. Another point in its favor
is its convenience.
With silage ready for feeding every
day in the year much less help Is re-
CURED to care for the live stock than
will be needed where it is necessary
to cut or shred fodder in the winter
time.
Ten or twenty minutes per day will
be all the time required to get out
the silage and feed the herd
Practically all the talk about silage
for feeding is concerning its use for
winter feeding, but insist that 1t is
almost as necessary in the summer as
| in the winter.
If we could be sure that we would
have plenty of rain aud resulting good
pastures all summer, silage would not
be necessary, of course, but almost
every summer brings a dry period
when the pastures get poor and the
COWS shrink in their milk supply, and
then it is hard to get the COWS back &C
their normal dow, even il later VIC dc
have the good pastures again.
Nearly all the best dairymen like tc
supply some feed to their cows, even
when on the best of pastures, both fol
the food value to the cows and for the
manurial value to the pasture, and
nothing is more convenient for this
purpose than good silage.

FEW USEFUL HINTS
FOR GARDEN WORK
Get Ready for Planting TurnipS,
Winter Radishes and Lettuce
Before Frost Comes.
az I. ". BRNNINaToNl

Keep the small-toothed cultivator
running at depth of two and one-half
OF three inches. If you cultivate deep
er you will tear up the root-system of
the plants, and the tops will suffer
while the root growth is being re-
placed. Get ready for planting tur-
nips, winter radishes and lettuce to
transplant into cold frames just before
frost falls.
Get the cucumbers every morning
for pickles. Be sure and cut all, as
any left to mature will cause the
vines to decline.
Handle the small eucumbers no
more than necessary, az the handling
breaks of the small spines which
causes them to lose much Of their
flavor.
After cutting the small cucumbers
do not wash them, but have two YES
sells at hand, one for the small ones
and the other for the large. Put in p
handful OF salt, then a layer Of cucum-
bers and every three or four layers OF
cuoumbers put in a layer of green
grape leaves.
Weigh all down with plate or a
stone cover and the cucumbers will
make their own brine.
Keep your eyes on the egg plant
bushes The Colorado potato bugs are
fond of the tender foliage and will
leave all other vegetables for them,
Mix tablespoonful of Paris green
with gallon of air-slaked lime and
put this in a coffee or gunny-sack and
shake gently over the plants while
the dew is on. This will fix the young

fieas.
Do not forget that We shall want a
garden next year and watch the weed
growth around the fences and in the
pastures so that none go to seed. Do
not let any kind of trash lie around
for breeding place for insects.
Keep the soil loose and mellow
around the celery. Begin handling and
at each cultivation draw little dirt
to the plants
A few rows of celery may be
