TREATMENT FOR
GAPES IN CHICKS
To Eradicate Disease, Affected
Birds Should Be Isolated
Burn All Dead Fowls.

CBy II. l.. KEMPSTER. Missouri Expert
ment Stauon.)
Gapes is disease affecting certain
birds, fowls, and particularly chicks
one to four weeks old. 1t is caused by
a small worm, called the cape worm,
which attaches itself to the windpipe
of it's victim.
The SYMPTOMS are frequent gaping
sneezing, a whistling cough, with dis
charge of mucus and worms. dumpish-
ness, weakness and dropping of wings.
Dead birds will show forked worms at
tached to the windpipe.
The adult female cape worm is much
larger than the male, her body being
filled with eggs and embryos. These
embroys appear in the droppings or
are coughed up. So the trouble Is
spread by contamination of runs, feed
and drinking water. Embroyos are
often found in earthworms.
To eradicate the disease, isolate af-
fected birds, treat drinking water with
potassium permanganate; burn dead
birds and remove chicks to fresh
ground which is not infected. Cultiva-
ton of infected ground is said to eradi-
cate the worms in three years.
Individual cases may be treated in
one of three ways:
By confining the chick for short
time in box which has air-slaked lime
on the floor. The lime is said to cause
the worm to release its grip and the
chick to sneeze it out.
Stripping a feather, leaving a small
tuft, moistening with turpentine and
introducing into the windpipe, care be-
ing taken not to lacerate the windpipe
or suffocate the chick.
Two horse hairs tied together, the
knot trimmed, run down the chickens
throat and removing in twisting man
ner will also remove the worms. Cape
worm extractors are also on the mar

Preparing For the Hardest Bat
tie of the War.
REBELS SURROUND TORREON
Defenders OF the Town Kept in lonor
ance of the Reverses the
Federals Have Suf-
fered

Juarez, MeXico.-With his army of
1900 rebels already advanced to points
north of Torreon, and awaiting word
to open the attack on the federal gar
rison in that city, Gen. Francisco Villa
planned to leave for chihuahua,
whence, after stay of several days.
he will himself march south to direct
the opening of the battle. How long
General Villa will remain in Chihau-
hua will depend on the rapidity with
which train loads of ammunition and
rations can be dispatched southwark.
The rebel leader probably will not
appear on the field before Torreon un-
til everything is ready for the opening
of the attack.
A courier who arrived from Torreon
said the, rebel advance guards had al
ready surrounded the city, but that
Gen. Refugio Velasco's federal soldiers
had not opened fire.
The courier said the rebels were
adopting their usual methods Of sur
rounding the city long before they
expected to fire on it. The federal
soldiers in Torreon, 1t was said, were
being kept in ignorance of recent rebel
victories and to sustain their cour-
age they we're told that Gen. Mer-
cado won a signal victory at Oiinaga.
Gen. Marcello Caraveo, one of the
volunteer federal generals who es-
capped from Ojinaga, had arrived in
Torreon and was given triumphant
reception because he informed the sol
diers the rebels had been defeated at
Ojinaga, according to the courier.
Il don't think there is any doubt
that we will capture Torreon," said
General Villa, but l think it will be
one of the severest battles of the revo-
luton. The Huerta followers are des-
perate. They are evidently concen-
trating every available man at Tor
reon. | am not making any predic-
tions as to when the battle will begin
or end"
Mexican federal sympathizers pro-
tested to the United States Army Off
cials in Ell Paso that Raoul Madero,
brother of the late president and an
officer on Villas staff. was permitted
to go to the American side. Madero
has been seen daily in the hotels and
at social affairs on the American side.
The Mexicans complained that this
was a violation of the neutrality laws
and was not the same treatment as ac-
corded General Mercado and other fed
eral officers who are held prisoners at
Fort Bliss because they crossed the
river. 1t was said protest would be
made to Washington.

germs to be spread by buzzards, dogs
and other carrion eaters.
Burial of the bodies is satisfactory
only when the are sprinkled with
quicklime and buried at a depth of
three to four feet. Many herds have
been wiped out by disease carried
into their ranges by prowling dogs
carrying bones and pieces of carrion
through the fields.
There are no breeds of hogs that
are immune from the cholera. There
are certain individuals among herd
that show great resistance to the dis
ease, but they are few in number.
So far the efforts of breeders to pro-
duce such strain have been failures.
AS to rearing, feeding and caring for
herd so farefully that cholera germs
cannot hurt them. it is impossible.
Anything moved from an infected
farm to a place that is not infected
may carry the seeds Of the disease.
OF course hogs are most apt to carry
1t, but the utmost precautions should
be taken that no animals, implements
or foodstuffs should be brought from
an infected place and left where the
hogs might be exposed to contact
with them. Sick hogs are the most
common of disease carriers.
State veterinarians are always
anxious to be informed of the out
breaks of cholera. The sooner they
know of 1t the better chance they
have of keeping it isolated in one COM
munity. It is duty that every hog
raiser owes to himself and neighbors,
to get word to the proper authorities
as soon as possible that the necessary
steps may be taken.

FEW PRINCIPLES
OF BEE-KEEPING
Essence of All Profitable Work Is
to Keep the Colonies Strong
and Vigorous.

The importance of scientific apicul-
ture is being slowly but surely recog-
nized With wider knowledge of the
part bees play in the pollination OF
fruit blossoms and the spread of rural
education generally, bee-keeping can
not any longer be regarded as merely
a hobby, but as one of the most I'M
portant of the minor branches of the
science of agriculture.
Although conditions differ, the prin-
ciples of Bookkeeping are the same the
world over. The following axioms
should be noted:
1. Bees gorged with honey never
volunteer an attack.
2. Bees may always be made
peaceable by inducing them to accept
liquid sweets.
3. Bees when frightened by smoke
I'LL themselves with honey and lose
all disposition to sting, unless they
are hurt.
4. Bees dislike any quick move
ments about their hive, especially any
motion which jars their combs.
5. In districts where forage Is
abundant only for a short period, the
largest yield Of honey will be secured
by very moderate increase of colo
MES.
6. A moderate increase in colonies
in any one season will, in the long
run prove to be the easiest, safest ana
cheapest mode of managing bees.
z. A queenless colony, unless sup
piled with queen, will inevitably
dwindle away or be destroyed by the
wax moth or by robber bees.
8. The formation of new colonies
should ordinarily be confined to the
season when bees are accommodating
honey, and if this or any other opera
tion must be performed when forage
is scarce the greatest precautions
should be used to prevent robbing.
The essence of all profitable bee
keeping is contained in the one golden
rule: Keep the colonies strong. II
anyone cannot succeed In doing this
the more money he invests In bees the
heavier will be his losses, while II his
colonies are strong he will prove
bee-master as well as a bee-keeper,
and may safely calculate on gener-
GUS return from his industrious sub
1ects.

No matter how healthy and vigor-
GUS your hogs may be, it pays to
watch for news of possible out
break of the cholera anywhere in
your neighborhood.
The sturdiest hogs will curl up and
die when the germs of this hog pest
are introduced into their system.
Clean quarters, pure water, dry quar-
ters and good breeding are worth
while for themselves, but they will not
keep cholera out of herd,
The only preventive of cholera is
the serum treatment Most states
are preparing a serum for their farm
ers, says an Illinois writer in the
Farm Progress. All should do so.
The state veterinarian is the man you
should appeal to as soon as the
cholera appears in your neighborhood.
1t makes no difference whether the
disease is among your hogs or not.
1t may be, and that very soon, unless
1t is checked.
When cholera gets among hogs on
my place l separate the healthy from
those that are ailing just as quickly
as / can. The next move is to notify
the state agricultural college, or its
nearest experiment station.
While waiting for expert relief,
either at the hands of the state ex-
perts or some local veterinarian, the
hogs should be watched, and any new
cases that develop should cause the
well part Of the herd to be moved
once more.
OF course, all animals that die of
cholera should be burned as quickly
as is convenient. Leaving them lying
In the open will cause the cholera

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy

Along with the coffee habit has

The following letter shows the way

FIGHTING RESUMED
ALONG THE USER

LONDON, Dec. 1.--Violent fighting
is in progress late this afternoon
along the User canal, according to
Reuters correspondent at Sluis. The
roaring of heavy guns has been dis
tinctly heard for several hours at
Sluis, and houses in the town have
been shaken by the detonations.
The number of troops engaged in
the fighting is not reported, and prob
ably an artillery duel caused the
correspondent to believe heavy fight
ing is in progress. Such duels are
of almost hourly occurrence in the
User country and as the troops are
largely protected by covered and
