Trainmen and officials of the p, b.

This is a skin disease that appears
most frequently during the late win
ter and early spring. It's presence is
shown by the appearance of scabby
areas that vary from half the size OF
a penny to that of dollar, and even
larger. The hair falls out, and the
surface OF the scabby area 1t covered
with fine white scurf. 1t shows oft
enest about the calves heads and
necks, but may also appear on any
cart Of the body.
Ringworm Is caused by small
parasite that burrows in the skin. Its
contagious nature Is well demon
strated by the fact that the diseased
animals spread 1t by rubbing agains'
others that are healthy. The fact that
heads and necks come In frequent
and close contact while the calves
are pushing and crowding about the
hangers explains why the disease
appears oftenest on these parts.
Treatment Is simple and effective,
recurring but short time for com
nlete cure in all ordinary cases
Tincture Of iodine applied to the
rcabs with a suitable brush or swab
several, tines at intervals OF several
DAYS, is all that is required. When the
disease encircles the eyes. care must
be taken to avoid getting the medi
cine into them.

The pistachio nut crop is practical
ly failure this year, the production
of the entire province promising only
about $50 tons, as compared with -
100 tons in 1912. The prices for pis-
tachios in Aleppo occasionally depend
on the Persian crop which Is pre-
ferred because the kernel Is darker
green than that Of the pistachio or
Aleppo or Aintab. In 1912 local prices
were about nine Aleppo market plas'

GREEN FOOD IN TIE. WINTER
Turnips, Cabbage, Beets and All Such
Vegetables Furnish Change Which
All Fowls Appreciate.

During spring, summer and fall 1t ls
not difficult to supply a variety OF
green food for fowls, as any kind OF
tender growing vegetation Is relished
by them, but when cold weather sets
in it Is very different, and things
must be set aside during the fall sea-
son.
Turnips, cabbage, beets and all such
vegetables make good food and FUR
nish grateful change, which the
fowls appreciate. OF all the vegetables
we have had the best results with
cabbage. 1t Is usually cheap in the fall
and we'll into the winter. We have
paid as much as cents per head for
1t because we realize that 1t is to our
advantage to supply the green food to
the fowls. The cost is small item,
for one head will supply six hens for
a week or ten days
1t is our custom to suspend the head
so that the fowls will be forced to
Jump a little to get bite. 1t Is left
hanging for two hours each day, and
then is taken down-for two reasons:
First, to prevent the fowls from eat
ing too much and becoming loose in
the bowels and, second, for the sake
of economy.
Possibly sprouted grain will be
found much cheaper than cabbage,
We always try to have sprouted oats
on hand to feed, but at times we are
caught without a thing in that line
to feed 1t is then that the cabbage
comes to the rescue. The best place to
sprout the oats in viii ter is in a
warm cellar or cave. Do not attempt
to sprout in the barn. for the chances
are that it will never sprout 1t takes
a temperature Of about SO degrees to
sprout the grain to the best advant'
age.

POULTRY
*::FAST1S*
FOR BETTER POULTRY STOCK
Keeping Birds Healthy and Improving
Them Can Be Done by Adoption
of Few Systematic Rules.

In raising stock OF poultry it should
be the air of everyone to keep it
healthy and improve it. You can do 1t
very easily by adopting systematic
rules. These may be summed up in
brief as follows:
Construct your houses good and
warm, so as to avoid damp floors and
afford a food of sunshine. Sunshine
is better than medicine.
Provide busting and scratching
place where you can bury the grain
and thus induce the fowls to take the
needful exercise.
Provide yourself with some good,
healthy fowls never to be over three
years old, giving one cock to every
II hens.
Give plenty CT fresh air at all times,
especially In summer.
Give plenty of fresh water daily, and
never allow the fowls to go thirsty.
Feed them systematically two or
three times a day. Scatter the food so
they cannot eat it too fast or without
proper exercise. DO not feed more than
they will eat up clean, or they will get
tired of that kind Of feed
Give them variety of both dry and
cooked feed. 4 mixture of cooked
meat and vegetables is good for a
morning meal.
Give soft feed in the morning and
the whole grain at night, except lit
tie wheat and cracked corn placed In
the scratching pens to give them ex.
ercise during the day.
Above all things, keep the house
clean and well ventilated.
Do not crowd too many into one
house. If you do, look out for dis.
ease
Keep the house, nests, etc, sprayed
with some good disinfectant, In or.
der to keep down the lice and mites,
Wash youl rOos.S and bottom OF
laying nests, and whtewash once a
week in summer and once week in
winter.
Let the old and young have as large
a range as possible, the larger the bet
ter.
Do not bred too many kinds of fowls
at the same time. Better have one
breed and understand it.
Introduce new blood into your stock
every year or so b. either buying a
cockerel or setting of eggs from
some reliable breeder.

SEPARATE YOUNG FROM OLD
During Growing Period Young Stock
Needs to Be Protected From Old
Ones to Prevent Abuse.

A good many people who might 9th.
erwise be very successful with poultry
have their profit decreased because
they allow the young and the old stock
to remain undivided in the same
house, or yard, or both. During the
growing period the young stock needs
a great deal Of food and needs to be
protected from the old ones, which, il
allowed to do SO, will abuse them
more or less. If free range is impos-
sible, provide separate yards and al
ways keep the young in a separate
building. If possible, or in separate
room at least. Pullets getting ready
to lay need more feed as rule than
hens which have moulted out well,
because the pullets need to finish their
growth and maturity, as well as make
eggs. This is another reason why
the young and the old should be kept
separate.

PREVENTION OF NINE. FIRES
Two Clever Devices That It Is Hoped
Would Keep the Flames
From Spreading.

Doors that will slam themselves
shut when fire comes along. and throw
pans of water over the oncoming
flames, are the latest devices for stop
ping the terrible dust explosion fires
In coal mines. The real marvel of
the doors is that they do not wait
until the fire gets to them, but prompt
Iy go into action while there is still
time to shut off the flames.
The doors, placed at intervals along
the mine passages, are ordinarily
kept swung back against the walls;
and on them are balanced several
pans filled with water. A dust explo-
sion in a coal mine rushes rapidly
through all the open passages, but
the flames are preceded by sudden
draft or air pressure. This draft will
shut the doors In time to head off the
flames; and, as the doors slam, the
water from the pans Is thrown In the
direction from which the fire is COM
Ing.
The same principle Of utilizing the
precursive air wave is the basis OF
most Of the systems now rapidly be-
ing applied in coal mines to check
the dust explosions.
One method that has had much at.
tenton of late to keep all the pas
sages we'll sprinkled with stone dust,
with piles of it stored on shelves
along the passageways. When the air
wave comes ahead of the fire this
stone dust Is stirred up into the air
and acts something like blanket In
smothering the coal dust flames

DAIRY
FAC.I:S
CARE OF DIFFERENT BREEDS
Milk Function Requires Certain Kind
Of Attention Whether II Is Found
In Jersey or Holstein.

When the best results are desired
in dairy work. there is very little to
be said regarding the difference In
care between the different dairy
breeds, says Hoard's Dairyman. MIX
function requires certain kind OF
care, whether it Is found in the Jer-
Sey, Ayrshire. Guernsey or Holstein.
The moment we expect dairy COW
to rustic for her living, that moment
shet begins to depreciate as dairy
animal. The milk-making function OF
the modern dairy cow is to large
degree artificial. and to keep 1t up to
the highest state to which 1t has been
developed requires environment and
feeding. We presume that II we
would study of the history of the
Ayrshres, Guernseys and Jerseys. we
would find that the Ayrshire COW has
been forced to do more rustling. liv.
ing under more rugged and rough
conditions than either the Jersey or
Guernsey. The Ayrshire comes from
country the climate Of which Is
colder, pastures rou2her and perhaps
less productive than the countries IN
which the Guernseys and Jerseys
originate. But as the milk making
junction becomes developed and the
animal is called upon to do larger
amount of york, it demands, whether
in the case of Ayrshire. Jersey or any
other biet d. about the same kind OF
care and treatment for the best re.
suits. IT, however. we should reason
back to the environments under
which tie Ayrshire, Guernsey and
Jersey originated it would perhaps
not be out of place to say that the
Ayrshire would be a better hustler
for her feed than the Jersey or
