Along in the fall of the year, many
fiocks of chickens become affected with
a mild disease called sore head, or
chicken-pox. Small, dry sores develop
on the head parts of the birds that are
not covered by feathers. The comb is
the part most often affected in mild
epidemics of adult fowls, but often the
eye and corner of the mouth becomes
diseased.
Simply amounting the diseased parts
with vaseline has always cured our
SIOcks, but / have seen cases where
other diseases such as colds or roup
accompanied it and where the vaseline
sNgatment was not very efficient. In
cases of this kind the other diseases
must be treated as well.
The above photograph shows the
scab-like formation of sore head on a
young, half-grown chick. Some years
the disease raises havoc in focks Of
young chicks, but can be checked by
the vaseline treatment.

EXERCISE CARE IN FEEDING
NEW CORN TO HOGS.
r. S. ALLEN.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

When new corn becomes available
for feeding, care should be taken not
to feed hogs too heavily on it at first,
as 1t is likely to cause indigestion.
Those that have been kept on green
pasture during the summer are not
nearly so likely to be affected when
new corn feeding is begun, as those
which have been kept in the dry lot or
the house, and If the pigs have had
the run of clover or alfalfa pasture,
there is practically no danger. If a
few pumpkins are fed in connection
with the corn, the seeds will act as a
vermifuge and no serious trouble will
arise.
When the hogs are In good, healthy
condition. new corn may be fed with
out danger. but good judgment must
be used at all times, or the results may
be the loss of the entire herd.

there are probably black sheep among
their number. and in front of church
at Postyen may be seen an ancient
stone pillar. reminiscent Of the days
when punishment was melted out In
much the same way as it was in Eng
land in those days. Fastened to this
pillar in the center is large iron clasp,
and at the base two smaller ones close
together. These clasps fitted around
the waists and ankles of the offender.
and when man or woman had stolen
something he or she was locked to this
post on Sunday and compelled to
hold in the hands whatever had been
stolen. Every Slovak attends church
on Sundays. from which it may be
gathered that this public exposure was
no small ordeal. The post bears a

Apples Should Be
Picked With Care
Should Be Handled Carefully and In
Vine To Secure Superior Mar
keting Quality.
HERMAN BECKENSTRATER.
Maryland Agricultural College.

When shall we start to pick apples?
For the small boy this question is not
a difficult one to answer, for he can
decide Immediately, act promptly, and
think it over later If there is occasion.
In the case Of the grower, however, it
takes considerable judgment and ex-
perience to decide when his apples are
just right for picking.
II picked too soon, the fruit will be
understood, poorly colored, and inferior

The time for picking red apples is
generally judged by their color, and
that of green varieties by the color of
their Seeds The latter method is the
most reliable indication of ripeness,
for a winter apple, picked just as its
seeds have turned light brown and
before they become dark around the
edges will be found to have not only
full flavor but also good keeping quail.
ties. Frequently, however, red apples
are left to hang on the trees for some
time after the seeds indicate maturity,
to allow them to take on more color.
The handling of the fruit begins
with the picking, and the path from
the orchard to market is likely to
prove bumpy one unless some simple
precautions are taken to prevent
bruising. Apples should not be grab

Such treatment destroys many fruit

Good fruit should be most carefully
handled. 1t should be laid into the
basket or bag into which it is picked,
not thrown or dropped. The padded
half bushel basket with swing handle
and wire hook to hang on the limbs
is probably the best thing to pick into.
