Watch Out For Sneezes
in Flock, MIR. Poultryman

The season of the year is fast ap-
preaching when cold rains and cold
winds will bring about attacks of ca
tarrh and roup with which poultry
men will have to contend. From now
on until the first of the new year the
wise poultry keeper will inspect his
flock each evening when all the birds
are on the roost for the night. 1t will
require only one or two minutes each
evening to observe the health of the
fowls so far as these diseases are ones
chief concern, for the only thing re-
quired is that the poultryman sit
quietly in the hen house for few
moments to find out if there is any
sneezing going on in the flock.
A single sneeze should be the sig
nal for prompt action on the part of
the person that has charge of the
flock. without resorting to medicine
the trouble may be corrected or
checked from making further prog
ress at least at once by simply pro-
viding the fowls with more room and
all the fresh air it is possible to give
them. Chickens that roost on trees
winter and summer furnish the poul-
tryman with a valuable cue; these
chickens not only keep free from
colds and roup but from all other
diseases also.

The house jacket made with peplurn
Is always a satisfactory one and, in this
case, there is just the becoming ripple or
fare over the hips that makes the very
latest fashion. The sleeves, too, are
slightly full at the shoulders. Altogethe1
the Jacket is one of the most comfortable
possible as well as exceedingly pretty.
Flowered dimity is the material illustrated
with collar of linen but all the simple wash
able materials are appropriate for inn
mediate wear Will: the jacket would be
quite as satisfactory made from challis
or cashmere for cool days. Tub silks too
are being much used and the
washable silks of Japanese MAKE
that are quite inexpensive make satis-
factory jackets both from the standpoint
Of comfort and of durability.
For the medium size, the jacket will
require 3% yds. of material II, 3 yds. SO,
az yds. A in. wide, with ss yd. ~ in.
wide for the collar. The embroidery
design 3s7 is used for the scallops.
The pattern s355 is cut in sizes from
a to "a inches bust measure. 1t will be
mailed to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on receipt OF
ten cents.

L|MBER NECK HITS
FOWLS IN VALLEY
Birds Lose Control of Neck Mus
cles; Burn or Bury All
Carcasses

Within the past few weeks there
has been an epidemic in the fiocks of
many Cumberland Valley farmers
that has killed many fowls, in some
instances half or more of the flock
yielding to the disease. The symp-
toms are those of timber neck al
though IL is hard to understand why
this disease should attack any consid-
erable number of fiocks at the same
time.
Timber neck, as its name indicates,
is characterized by the limp condl-
tion of the neck. the fowl practically
loosing all control of the neck mus
cles so that the head rests on the
ground. This condition occurs in
warm weather, and is caused by the
fowls eating decomposed flesh in
which ptomaine has developed. rms
poison causes. partial paralysis of the
neck muscles and the death of the
bird is pretty sure to follow. Mag
gots eaten by fowls do not cause the
disease, except as they may contain
the poison which they have obtained
from the decaying flesh.
Since this disease is not contagious
and decomposed flesh is not apt to be
present around the buildings of many
farms at the same time 1t is hard to
understand how the trouble in the
Cumberland Valley fiocks could be
timber neck. 1t would be interesting
to have the owners of these stricken
f1ocks give more detailed information
of the disease and their opinion as to
the cause of 1t.
If it is Timber neck, then the most
effective treatment is, of course, never
to leave any dead fowls or other dead
animals around, but to bury or burn
all carcasses. Treatment of sick birds
is not usually very successful, but
teaspoonful of castor oil is sometimes
affective

JEWS WILL OBSERVE
YOM K|PPUR SEPT. 80
Day Is Spent in Prayer and Medi-
tation; Marks Return From
Evil to Good

The Day of Atonement, Yom Kip
pur, the holiest day in the Jewish
calendar falls this year on the thir-
tieth day of September. The Hebrew
date is the tenth of Tishri The fes-
tival is ordained in Leviticus XVI 90
"a and XXIII 26-32. In both passages
it is styled "A Sabbath of Solemn
Rest"
The purpose of the Day of Atone
ment is clearly indicated by its name
1t is intended to complete and crown
the work of the penitential season, be-
gun on the first of Tishri New Year,,
by finally reconciling the soul with the
Almighty. implicitly trusting in the
Divine forgiveness, the Israelite be-
lieves that his contrition, If 1t be real
ly sincere, will atone for him, will
make him "at one once more with
his Heavenly Father. The day, then,
is devoted to a supreme effort of peni-
tence, to mighty endeavor after COM
munion with the Almighty 1t is
spent in prayer and mediation.
1t is kept. too, as a fast, in obedi-
ence to the command given in each of
the two passages above cited where
the expression "aff1ict his soul" must
be understood, in accordance with the
traditional Interpretation, as synony-
nous with fasting.
The chief. the real aim of the Day
to good, or in other words, the re-
Cancellation of the individual soul with
the eternal right, which Is of God. All
the external elements of the days
observance-its worship and austeri-
ties-are intended to promote this su-
preme purpose. They cannot do duty
for it. The act of fasting is partly to
serve as a self-imposed chastisement,
and partly it has a reflex influence.
For hunger and weakness tell upon
the conscience; they mortify pride,
break down obstinacy, cast men down
before God in humility and contrition
But fasting does 'even more than that.
Taking the worhipper away from such
carnal occupations as eating and
drinking, it helps to fix his thoughts
upon the needs of the soul. 1t makes
the day one of physical abstinence and
self denial, but also of correspondingly
increased spirituality.
The sublime Neilah prayers consti-
tute the closing service of the day.
Here the triumphant note of recon-
ciliation with God sounds clear. The
prayers advance in the scale of ecs-
tasy and the worship of the day cul-
inmates in the glorious outburst by
the assembled multitude of Israel's
great watchword Hear o Israel, the
Lord is our God. the Lord is One, y
and its accompanying phrases "Prais-
ed be the glorious name of His King
dom forever and ever" the whole
closing with the stirring confessions
spoken seven times. "Adonoy hu hoe
lohim,' the Lord is God, the Lord is
IGod."

HOW MANY SQUADS
SHOULD BIRDS HATCH?
Give Pigeons All Feed They viii
Readily Eat; Expert
Gives Advice

A pair of satisfactory breeding
pigeons should hatch and rear from
six to eight pairs of squads in year.
A pair of pigeons are useful for breed
ing purposes for six or eight years;
they will lay eggs and produce young
in their first year. In feeding pigeons
they should be supplied with all the
grain mixture is one composed of
equal parts of whole wheat cracked
corn and Canada field peas. Once
Il week a little millet and little hemp
seed may be fed to advantage. Char
coal and ground oyster shell should be
provided for them in a small dish.
The house should be we'll ventilated
and kept as free from vermin as pos
sible.
The most difficult task in SQUAD
production is to mate the birds. 1t is
no easy matter for the novice to dis
tinguish the males from the females
but with a little experience the char
acteristiCs of both sex becomes known
to the breeder. A good plan is to
place a pair of birds in small tenn
porary quarters where they can be
watched and as soon as the breeder is
assured that the pair have mated
they may he transferred to perma-
nent quarters.
With young birds that do not seem
to mate readily, one should have a
wire cage about two feet long and
one foot wide, divided in the middle
by wire. BY placing in such cages
two birds. one in either end, it can
soon be determined whether or not
one is male and the other female
and whether they will mate or not
| Pigeons, like eagles. mate for life
and when once they become attached
to each other, seldom allow their af-
| fections to be alienated.

Birds Fit to Place in
Exhibits Very Scarce

Birds that are in condition for
showing at the Fall fairs are scarce.
A late Spring always means short
crop of show birds that are far
enough matured for the early eXhiol-
tions. Unseasonably hot weather dur
ing the present month is also big
handicap to exhibition stock. Much
young stock is going into a partial
mott that detracts much from its ap-
pearance. 1t therefore behooves the
fancier to get busy and make the best
of an unfavorable situation. There is
much that he can do that will shorten
the time required to bring his birds
into condition.
If a bird is up to standard weight
and in splendid condition for showing,
it should be fed just enough TO keep
II so and not forced with animal food.
Green food in full supply will help to
keep the digestive system in order and
save the plumage from getting dull.

STORSTAD GETS
WRECK BLAME
Collier at Fault in Empress of
Ireland Disaster.
THIRD OFFICER is NAMED
Tuftenes Did Wrong in Altering
Course in Fog, Is Decision Rem
dered by Commission Appoint
ed to Probe Accident.

Quebec, Que, July 13.-The COM
mission of inquiry that investigated
the sinking of the Empress of Ireland
in the st. Lawrence on May 20, with
a loss of more than 1000 lives, an
nounced its decision, holding that the
collier Storstad, which rammed the
Empress, was responsible for the dis
aster.
The report, which was brief, con-
tanned the following leading points:
1. The Storstad is responsible for
the accident because she changed her
course. The helm of the Storstad was
ported by order of Third officer Jacob
Lundquist, who thought the Empress
was at port, whereas in reality she
was at starboard.
2. The order to port was given
without instructions from the first of
ficer of the Storstad, Mr.. Tuftener,
but as he was in charge of the ship
at the time, he is held jointly respon-
sible with the third officer.
Storstad's First Officer Hit.
8. The first officer is also blamed
for having failed to call the captain.
Thomas Anderson, when the fog came
on. There is nothing to blame in the
course followed by the two ships be-
fore the fog came on.
4. 1t is practically certain that
some of the bulkheads Of the En-
press were not closed at the time of
the collision
The members of the commission
were Lord Mersey of the British ad-
miralty court and Ezekiel Mcleod, a
judge of the New Brunswick admir-
atty court
Lord Mersey came from England to
head the commission because of his
wide knowledge of marine affairs and
his experience gained in directing the
investigation into the wreck of the
Titanic.
Court Crowded During Reading.
The court was crowded when the
commissioners took their seats and
Lord Mersey commenced reading the
report The entire findings were not
read owing to the technicalities in
VOlNSu. Uul InO IAhSlpol IOdIul CD
were laid before the auditors.
The principal point which the court
was called upon to decide was wheth-
er the responsibility for the tragedy
was divided or whether it rested sole
ly upon the officers of one of the
ships. Lord Mersey said that the
members Of the court had taken pains
to get all the enlightenment possible
upon this phase and that, after DELHI
Grafton over the evidence, they had
come to the conclusion that the Stor-
stad was in fault because she had
changed her course after fog had set
tied down upon the river. Up to the
time the fog appeared no fault could
be found with the seamanship of eth
er set of officers.
