MOULDS FATAL TO POULTRY
By II. l.. Kempster

Mouldy litter in poultry houses and
mouldy feed are the cause of a large
number of deaths among poultry and
particularly among chicks. These
moulds taken into the body Of the fowl
cause a disease known as AspergiI-
louis. The disease is as fatal as the
name sounds. Our scientists have
neglected to find a shorter name Tor
the disease, but among poultrymen
chicks affected with the trouble are
comonly spoken Of as "lungers.' Many
times the. disease IS mistaken Tor
white diarreha. The Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture, in its investiga-
ton of poultry diseases, notes the
following characteristic symptoms:
The chick stands around in a drOwsy
manner and shows little desire to eat.
The wings hang down, the breath is
rapid and u white diarrhea is pres
ent.
An affected chick will be found to
have soft, yellow growths from the
size of pin head to that OF Il pea.
mainly in the lungs, but sometimes
, in the ntestines and mesentery. These
growths, clogging the air passages of
! the lungs, are directly responsible for
the death of affected birds.
In mature fowls there are two
forms of the disease. The mucuos
membrane lining the air-sacs and
tubes may be covered with mem
branous formation which is soft and
yelowish and has an offensive odor,
or the post mortem will reveal white
or yellowish nodules imbedded in the
tissues Of the lungs. ...N
Early symptoms are that the bird
is inactive, sleepy and if forced to run,
will fall from exhaustion; breathing
is rapid, appetite is diminished and
more or less catarrh is present.
There is no cure for the trouble,
but since it is caused by eating mouldy
feed or by permitted access to mouldy
litter, it can be entirely prevented by
not compelling fowls to eat mouldy
food and by keeping them away from
mouldy litter. 10 ,au,.u
This is one of the many poultry
troubles that can be entirely avoided
by feeding nothing but fresh, clean
feed and keeping the pens and yards
free from filth and monadss

ridiculous, and made only with political
ends in view.
Let us see. We would be pleased
to have the distinguished comtcmpor-
aries that have made so much noise
about high prices, and as they claim
an appreciable advance in the cost of

has really been an advance in he cost
Of living. If they can not do this we
would be pleased to have them discard
this old chestnut.
Furthermore we would be pleased to
call to their respectful attention the
fact that for many years this country
has been under the domination of a
Republican administration, and it 10
ridiculous that the Democratic admin
istration should be called upon to undo
in few short months what the Re-
publicans have been almost life
time in doing. That the principles of
Democracy and Of the present admin
istration will ultimately bring the re-
suits that have been proclaimed from
the housetops will only be revealed
by the passing of time. But the pie
counter Republicans are beginning to
grow lank and a growing hunger to
get back to pie eatin' makes them re-
sort to most any kind of duplicity;
just any kind Of an assertion that will
fool the people, for it is the policy of
the Republicans to say, as Cannon,
"To he'll with the people"
The prices Of the present are the
direct result Of Republican principles.
The present Democratic administra-
tion has proceeded most wisely. Ca
utously and carefully has the work
Of reform gone on. 1t has required
men Of large type and ability to I'M
dertake the task of correcting the
evils of Republicanism and at the
same time not disturb the business
life of the country. The foundation
has been laid with patient care and
unselfsh devotion to the task of the
men at the helm are building the lad
der that eventually will bring down
the high cost Of living.
We would suggest that n little pa
thence and forbearancc on the part of
our friends is Il grace that they
could well cultivate,

BRINGING CONSUMER AND
PRODUCER TOGETHER

The postmaster at Washington, ID.
C. has begun q campaign to bring the
Washington consumers and the near
by farmers in direct contact with one
another through the use of the parcel
post. Farmers who have butter, eggs,
fruit and vegetables to sell may send
their addresses to the postmaster,
with information Of what they have
to sell, and these names and address,
es will be published by the postmaster
and distributed to all tho Washington
consumers. Announcements will al
so be posted in the public libraries in
Washington. The Washington post
master has sent out circular which
gives full information concerning the
shipment of farm produce by parcel
post, together with the rates for diff
ferent zones. The postoffice will also
undertake to handle packages c. o. ID.
when desired, delivering the package
to the consumer and securing the
price from his, which will be remit
ted to the producer. The Washington
experiment will be watched with con-
siderable interest, and no doubt if it
proves satisfactory, the postmasters
of other cities viii be encouraged to
take up the same sort Of work.-Wal-

Uncle Sam makes a practice of act
ing as censor of the newspapers Of
the country in that he must have them
report to him their financial condi-
ton. circulation, etc. Then he turns
around through his different depart
ments and asks of them fuee service,
sending almost an unlimited amount of
matter to them for publication; and
also enters the field of printing as
competitor of these very same
newspapers. 1t is a matter Of some
qualification that some people have
all the time felt n loyalty to home
enterprises sufficient to not accept
Uncle Sans printing offers to do
their printing in the supplying of
envelopes. Cecently a ruling of the
Post Office Department is such that
the printed envelop that Uncle Sam
will provide will not be so desirable.
No longer will the Department place
ads on the envelops for the purchaser.
The ruling covering the matter fol-
lows as we clipp from an exchange:
"No advertisement or special device
of any kind nor the names of actresses
shall be printed on stamped envelopes
by the Department. The matter to be
printed shall be limited to ~ re-
quest to return after a given number
of days; (2) the name of the purchas-
er, individual, firm, corporation, insti-
tuition, association or society; (3)
rural delivery route, post office box
number, street address lin the case
of city delivery post Offices only or
the name of building and room num-
Der therein, or the names of inter-
secting streets. in lieu of n street adj
dress; az the name of post Office or
branch post Office, county and state.
Any portion of the foregoing except
the name of the post office or branch
post Office and state, may be omitted,
when desired by the purchaser Of the
envelopes, if the address to WHICH I'M
delivered letters are returnable is not
definite"

a newspaper is most always what
its patrons make it. Every publish
or, like every other person in business
wants to grow, and to do this he
knows that he must serve the public.
He must give the public their moneys
worth. Theodore Fisher, at one
time publisher of the Farmington
Times hits the nail on the head in the
following few words: "A papers in
fluence for its party is only common
surate with the interest which every
individual Democrat-if it is Demo
cratic paper-takes in helping to
spread its circulation and extend the
patronage necessary to keep up the
business end. The party that does
not do this WILL sooner or later, find
itself without local organ, or. at
best, one that is so starved and handi-
capped that it can not do the work its
editor would like to do in holly con-
tested campaign" Weekly Inter

1t is said that OF all the counties
that are maintaining a County Farm
Adviser that Audrian County is the
only one wherein the County Court
would not appropriate funds form the
county to help to pay the expenses
of maintaining the Adviser. 1t may
be that the County Court Of Audrian
County thinks that farmers of that
section of the State do not need any
one to advise them in respect to the
cultivation Of the soil. It is likely
they say. "weuns aint a needin' no adj
visin' on farmin."

CANNOT CRITICISE SENATOR
REED

Senator Reed is being criticised by
the Republican press because he said
in a speech recently delivered at JEFF
ferson City that business disturb
ances always followed wherever the
tariff was reduced in favor of the
great masses of the people of this
country" This statement, more or
less garbled, has been purposely mis-
construed and declared to be an ad-
mission of failure of the new tariff to
benefit the consumer. The tariff re-
duction was demanded by the people.
incorporated in the Democratic con-
gress. 1t doesn't require partcu-
larry bright intellect to appreciate the
fact that change in the tariff means
temporary interference with estab-
lished business, but it is reasonable to
believe that in a comparatively short
time business will adjust itself to the
new conditions and all cause for COM
plant disappear. To charge Senator
Reed with admitting that the new tar
iff is a failure is too absurd to de-
serve credence, and the fact that
prices are holding up unusually well,
and that those who have something
to sell are not complaining, give as
surance that normal conditions will
soon return.-Glasgow Missourian.

1t is reported that Senator Stone
is much improved in health, so much
that he has announced, or rather fill
ed his declaration, to make the race
in the primary for nomination for
the Senate to succeed himself. He
will be opposed by Judge VIM. II,
Wallace OF Kansas City. a very able
and competent man, but it is pre-
sumed that Senator Stone will carry
the state by large majority.

Our exchange announce that Hon.
Frank II. Farris has withdrawn from
the Senatorial race in the oath Dis
trict, and has entered the race for
Representative in Phelps County. 1t
is said that MIR. Farris did so after
due reflection, and also to give Il
clear field to Senator Buford who is
also candidate for the Office Of Sena-
tor from the oath District, 1t is quite
possible that the decision of Mr.. Far
ris is wise one in that it will no
doubt put two good strong capable
Democrats in the halls Of our State
Legislature. This arrangement is
one that no doubt will be in every way
satisfactory to the friends Of both
candidates.

Presented Wrong End

Two Germans were neighhors and
one owned a dog which was rather
cross, remarks an exchange. One day
the dog came at the neighbor rather
savagely and was met with the sharp
end of a pitchfork. This seemed to
anger the owner of the dog, who
rushed out and shouted, "Vat fer you
use the sharp end on my dog? Wy
don't you use the other end" And
the neighbor replied, well, Wy don't
your dog come at me init the other
end? 2"

State Fair Silo School?

One Of the new features of the State
Fair in Missouri this year is the Silo
School proposed by Mr.. W. L. Mel
son, Assistant Secretary Of the Mis-
souri, State Board of Agriculture.
There will be special section of the
Fair devoted to erect silos of all kinds
and to models Of makes not putting
up full size structures. The Missouri
farmer who is planning silo for
1915 can mighty well afford to make
the State Fair trip this year for the
1915 Silo School alone.

near Braymer, Mo-, at the age Of 50
years, was one of the many remark
able characters of north Missouri. He
was a farmer and had lived So years
upon the same land. A stowaway
boy in an migrant ship sailing from
County Cork, ireland, he became very
wealthy for man who devoted his
efforts absolutely to farm activities,
A few months before he died he in
vited his eight children to family
dinner at his country home in Ray
County. After the frugal meal he
gave property worth a quarter Of a
million dollars. this being not by any
means all of his wealth. -Four of
