SOREIiEAD IN POULTRY
Extremely Contagious Disease q
Fowls Can Cause Serious Loss
Uniess Promptly Checked.

Sorshead, a disease of chickens caus
ed by spores Of a common mold, ap
pears when fowls come in contact with
moldy litter or mofdy grain. 1t seems
not to be constitutional disease. 1t
is usually confined to the face. comb,
wattles and ear-lobes, eyes, nostrils,
and mouth, but is occasionally found
under the wings in advanced or neg
lected cases. 1t is extremely con-
tagious and may spread through
flock in two or three days.
Sorehead is Of two kinds, dry and
moist, according to the surface at
tackled By the spores. II it is on the mu.
cous membrane Of the eye, mouth, or
nostrils, the moist type develops; if
on the skin of the face or adjacent
parts, it will be the dry or warty vari-
ETY.. The mois: type is most serious
disease, growing rapidly. It soon
closes the eyelds, which swell to an
enormous size, blinds the fowl, and
causes it to waste away and die.
When sorehead appears, it is not
necessary to isolate the diseased fowls
from the flock. Look for moldy litter
or food and if it is found replace it
with fresh. Check the disease by color
ing the drinking water pink with 8
few crystals Of permanganate Of pot.
ash, and paint the face and comb OF
the apparently we'll chickens with
equal parts Of creoIin> and water, or
strong purple solution Of permangan-
ate Of potash. Give appetizing food.
It is advisable to mix the egg mash
with buttermilk or sour skim milk and
feed sprouted oats daily. Cook cheap
meat, cut it up, and throw to the
chickens.
The fowls that have the warts
should be caught and the crust Of
each wart removed. The tissue un.
derneath is red. Dip clean feather
in one Of the remedies named below
and touch the red tissues with the
LIQUID. Next morning the treated wart
will have a black scab over it, which
dries and falls off in three or four
days A week later one cannot de-
tect where the wsrt was.
In treating the moist variety, 1t is
necessary to drop the remedy into the
eye, nostrils, or whatever organ is at
tackled This seems cruel, but It
saves the fowl.
The remedy the writer prefers Is
pure, usdiluted creolfn. We have not
lost chicken from sorehead since
using this remedy. 1t will eradicate
the disease from the eye and, If used
in time, will save the sight. Other
good remedies are iodine, cresol or
similar disinfectant, zenoleum, all
used undfuted; purple solution Of per-
aanganate Of potash, liquid shoe pol-
ish {black), and solution Of copperas
(as much as will lie on a 25-cent piece,
dissolved in cup of water). A clean
feather is best for applying the rem

MADAME" Fitted Him.

The friends of certain senator say
that, although it is admitted that some
one used senate stationery TO promote
a mining scheme, it is very unjust to
make any charge Of dishonesty against
the kindly old man. To illustrate his
character, they tell this story: He
was one Of the funeral party that &C
companied the body of distinguished
senator to its burial place. On the
return trip he went early to bed. The
next morning his round, red face, de-
void Of hair, gentle of expression and
wrinkled, was thrust out Of his berth
as the Pullman conductor passed by.
Are we on time, captain?" called out
the senator in his thin piping voice,
Just on time, madame" said the con-
ductor, as he lifted his hat and passed
on.

Credit.

Credit is an estimate OF your ca.
pacity to worry about paying your
bills which is held about yoa by Lot
Of total strangers. Credit Is also be-
lief held of your ability to pay for
something long after you have ceased
to derive any benefit from It. Credit
is likewise q gauge Of your willingness
70 deceive yourself into the belief you
can afford to buy something because
you cannot pay cash for it Il every
body paid cash there would be no
bond issues, no huge clerical forces.
no national debts, no armies or mill
tary systems, no schools such as exist
today, no war, no degenerate fash
ions-nothing but plain, everyday uv'
ing. Credit enables everybody to live

About Sound Waves.

6<0VlG S0Uts0- w "GtOOs
Ono Of those scientists Sho are al
ways developing apparent paradoxes
In thought has come forward with the
statement thar sound itself is not ex-
traneous, but exists only because of
nerve. In other words, If the ears Of
the human race were removed tomor.
row the world would be absolutely
noiseless to humanity. The contention
is that the sound waves, travelling at
a rate of 1,o9o feet q second, create
Invisible ripples In the air just as a
pool ripples when rock Is thrcwn
into it. The greater the force Of these
waves the louder the sound But there
Is no noise until these sound waves
strike the sensitive nerves Of the ear.
Thus, reEertfng to the original proposi-
ton, the air waves themselves would
be noiseless did they not operate IN
conjunction with the human sense Of
hearing.

b.
South Carolina farmers, and espe-
cially those in the billy Piedmont sac.
tion, need to terrace ztaeir lands to.
keep the soil from being washed away
by erosion, which is wearing away
caused by wind and rain. The -ero-
sion caused by ram water washes
thousands Of tons Of soil annually
from the lands Of this state, with e.
consequent loss Of fertility. Natures
method Of preventing erosion is to
keep the soil covered with trees,
leaves, and grass. Mans method is
to terrace and grow winter cover
crops.
A terrace is ridge Of soil thrown
I'D in such manner as to prevent
water from flowing rapidly down 9:
hillside or slope. Only steep or rolling
lands need terracing. -.
Use a leyeling instrument IN run
ming lines for terraces. One can be.
had for from s12 to s25 and can be.
used for many other kinds Of work on.
the farm. It is necessary also to have
a hillside" plow, so that the dirt can
be thrown always down hill.
After determining on the line OF the
terrace, by the use Of the leYeling IN
strument begin on that line and throw
the first furrow up hill. Going above
it, using hillside plow, throw the.
next furrow down bill. Throw each
succeeding furrow down hill until the
proper distance has been covered to
get an elevation Of about three feet.

what Is known as the level bench
terrace, the land between any two
terraces becoming a level bench with
no fall In any direction after few
years cultivation. The level bench
terrace is best suited to most OF the
farms in Piedmont South Carolina.
The strongest and highest terraces
should be located, as rule, near tne
upper edge Of the hillside field, be-
cause if the top terrace breaks It is
| well nigh impossible to prevent the
terraces below from being swept
! away. &:
Run a terrace or ditch at the upper
edge Of the field to care for the sur sur
plus water which may come from sn
adjoining. field, pasture or woodland ID
Such surplus water often proves too
much for any system Of terraces to
control. -
Crossing terraces with teams, plows
or wagons will form aepressions that
will allow water to break. over ana
start gullies, which weaken and de-
stroy a terrace. Avoid this by leav-
ing at the end Of the field a sodded
slope to be used as road to get nom
