Washington, May 14.-For tho first

borne traffic Is now passing through
the Panama canal, according to re-

The tremendous congestion in inter

a rather premature opening of the

TO ELIMINATE

Detroit. May 14-A campaign for
the elimination Of the prison contractor
and the tenement labor system was in
augurated yesterday by the National
Association of Garment Manufacture
ers, assembled in convention here. To
further the movement, the association
announced it will actively support the
bill, now pending in congress, which
provides that states may have the
right to bar all prison. made goods and
also compels the special marking Of
all goods manufactured by convict
labor
The garment manufacturers also
announced tkey will go on record as
favoring 4 national minimum wage
law. 1t was stated by several mem
bers, however, that the passing of
minimum wage laws by states causes
manufacturers to face unfair competi-
ton because of lack of uniformity. For
that reason they favored a national
law governing the subject.

MAKE CHICKENS RoosT HIGH
Health and Vitality Of Young Fowls
Injured by overerowdlns When
Placed In Small coops.

Because overcrowding In small
coops placed near the ground tends to
injure the health and vitality OF young
chickens, 1t is advisable to teach them
TO use perch roosts as early as possi-
BILE and practicable.
James G Halpin. in charge OF the
poultry department Of the college Of
agriculture OF the University OF Wis
consin, lays much OF the blame for
mortality among young chickens dur
ing the early winter months from roup
and similar diseases to a neglect on
the part of their owners in not seeing
that they are placed on roosts early in
the season.
When chickens are left out on
frosty nights in an improvised shelter
they are sure to huddle close together
and in this way the bodily tempera-
ture is raised far above normal, ma
king It easy for them to catch colds.
which often lead to fatal diseases.
Further development, so important to
fowls in the northern states, is also
retarded as a result OF these improper
housing methods.
The charge that crooked breast"
is a sure result OF placing chickens
on roosts too early fn the season ia
partially refuted by Mr. Halpin. who
believes that by using fiat perches
most OF the danger from that trouble
may be avoided He recommends
that two by fours. turned edgewise,
be used for roosts where the span to
be covered is over eight feet
II the house or coops, In which the
young chickens have bec~ sheltered
during the summer months, are large
enough and nicely ventilated. perches
may bs installed and the young flock
accommodated in them.
Whenever Il is found necessary to
coop the young chickens in with the
older fowls, a screen should be used
TO keep the two flocks separate until
the young chicks become strong
enough TO roost with the others.

SUMMER DISEASE OF CATTLE
Treatment Of infectious Sore Eyes Is
inexpensive and Not Difficult Of
Application.

CBy c. c. LIPP, Assistant Veterinarian.
University Farm. St. Paul. MIMI
Infectious sore eyes OF cattle most
frequently makes It's appearance dur
Ing the summer months. although II
may also occasionally appear at other
times. The germs may be introduced
into a herd by the purchase of an ami.
NAL suffering with the disease, but II
is undoubtedly spread in other ways
as II sometimes appears suddenly and
without any known means OF entrance
TO the premises.
AS this disease is infectious, II
spreads from one animal to others,
and sometimes runs through an entire
herd Its duration in one animal is
from one to two weeks, usually about
ten days. after which II has run It's
course and disappears. Although to-
tai blindness may result, the sight Is
not usually permanently impaired.
Very often but one eye is affected. the
other eye, II affected at ALL shows the
symptoms from several days to II
week later.
The first symptom Is profuse flow
OF tears. Then the eye becomes very
sensitive to light. and is kept con-
stantly closed. Later the eyelids
swell, and the discharge shows dis
tinct traces OF pus or matter. About
the same time a white speck appears
on the surface OF the eyeball. This
speck gradually enlarges and may
cover the entire front Of the eye, caus-
ing temporary blindness.
Treatment is inexpensive aud easily
applied When begun in time recov-
cry is fastened. and further spread OF
the disease is prevented. 1t is always
best to conflne the animals in a com
Portable but well-darkened stall. Feed
sparingly on cooling, laxative foods.
Give a physic OF pound OF epson
salts in two quarts OF water to an
animal weighing 1000 pounds. Add
half a grain OF zinc solution and ten
grams OF boric acid to an ounce OF dis
titled water. Use a medicine dropper

GOOD RATION FOR FATTENlNG
n Fowls Have Their Liberty and Are
Free From Lice Cracked Corn
VIII Make Rapid Gains.

From the many fattening rations
and the articles on crate fattening,
pen fattening and cramming, the
farmer might get the impression that
fattening is different proposition.
Such. however, is not the case.
says the Farmer. Some of the best
poultry we ever saw fattened was
fattened by simply giving them all
the cracked corn they would eat for
three weeks, while they we're on free
range of the farm. Usually farm
fowls are healthy, and. II they have
their liberty and are free from lice,
plenty of cracked corn will make them
gain rapidly, and when dressed for
market they get plump and Of a bright
red color.
Where It is desired to fatten some
of the flock and not all Of II, that
which is not to be fattened can be al
lowed to run at liberty, and that to
be fattened can be put into yards, or
even kept in the houses. In that case
a different ration is needed. There
should be plenty of grit and charcoal
within reach, and green food should be
supplied every day. In the morning
a mash made Of three parts cornmeal,
one part wheat bran and one part
high-grade beef scraps, mixed crum-
bly, with water or milk, should be
given, all they will eat up in 10 min
utes. and no more. At noon some
green food and cracked corn may be
given. and at night they should have
ell the cracked corn they will eat. II
they are free from vermin they will
fatten rapidly under this treatment.
II they do not eat heartily, they
must be put out on the range again
until they recover their appetites.
