SUSPECTS TUBERCULOSIS.

What are the first symptoms of
tuberculosis in ls?-Mrs. A. X.
Dunn County.
AS a general rule about the only
symptom that we notice is that, al
though they continue to eat, the birds
usually get thin in flesh. For some
reason quite good many of them
show symptoms of being lame. There
is no way that l know that one could
tell from looking at a hen that she
has the tuberculosis. A careful post
norton examination, and many times
a laboratory examination, has to be
made before one can say for certain
that an individual is affected with the
disease On post-mortem examination
we practically always find whitish
nodules in The liver, in the spleen,
and sometimes in the intestines.-

Wisconsin owes much to its COWS.
Of the individual "matrons of the
dairy" which have helped to make
Wisconsin prosper, few. if any, have
done better than Tricksey.
Handicapped by a very ordinary
name, but endowed with an unusual
capacity for dairy production and
capable of passing on this qualifica-
ton to her offspring, Tricksey estab-
lished one of the greatest families
known to Wisconsin dairymen.
This great COW was born on one Of
the small islands in the English chan
mel and was sent to this country early
in 1883. Unfortunately the importation
with which she came became affected
with foot-and-mouth disease. And had
it not been for the work of Messrs C..
S. Kent and Mark, two Pennsylvanians,
she and her party would have had the
fate of many animals which the past
winter were exposed to this dreadful
disease. Then this little sketch would
not have been written and Wisconsin
would have been deprived of the serv-
ices of this great COW and her splendid
sons and daughters. She was the
dam of many excellent individuals,
such as the COWS Tricksey II and

MANY HENS HAVE LIVER
TROUBLE.

We are having trouble with our
hens. They seem to be in good health,
then in two or three days their combs
turn to a very deep red, almost pur-
pie, and they will not eat. They sit
around bumped up, and then die.
What is this disease, its cause and
cure? What is the best feed for young
chicks?-E S.. Dane County.
From your description we conclude
that these hens are affected with
some sort of liver trouble. Liver
trouble is very common among the
fowls and is not as we'll understood as
it should be. The only sort of medl-
cinal treatment that could be recon-
mended would be to give something
like two teaspoonfuls of castor oil to
each of the hens when it is first noted
shat they are out Of condition. If the
liver is seriously involved it would
usually pay to market the birds that
geem unusually fat rather than keep
them and run the risk. If some of
these hens die | wish that you would
open them and write me description
of the appearance of the liver and the
spleen and we will help you out in
any way that we can.
The best feed for young chicks, in
my estimation. is clabbered milk or

CRACKED HEAD THAT
HEALS HELP TO BRAIN
Results In Regeneration Of
Tissues, Says Professor.

Chicago.--For fifteen years Charles
Manning Child, associate professor of
zoology in the University of Chicago,
has been experimenting on plants and
animals to solve the problem of youth
and age AS the result, in his "Se-
nescence and Rejuvenescence," Pro-
feSsOr Child turns upside down q lot
of current notions about growth and
death.
He prescribes regular fasts, provid-
ed no organic disease exists. He sug-
gests vacations or changes in mental
occupation after long continued men,
tai labor in particular field. The eff
feet of change is the regeneration of
the nerve cells, he finds, and this
means the nerve cells are built up
anew as in youth.
Professor Child utters a warning
against Overeating. Overnutrition, he
says, increases the rate of seneScence.
All life, he points out, is a develop
ment toward senescence and death.
Natures idea is to build up man.
have him do his duty toward increas-
ing the species and then move on to
disintegration.
Injuries, when death does not follow,
result in the regeneration of the It's
sues affected, and this regeneration
makes those tissues young again.
A cracked pate that heals is good
for the brain. From this comes the
explanation of the old familiar story
of the man who, recovering from an
almost fatal injury or a serious illness,
becomes healthier, more vigorous and
youthful than before 1t also con-
firms the old one about the idiot who,
being hit q terrific blow ON the head,
regainS his reason.

buttermilk. Give this to them froiI
the time they are twenty-four hour !.
until they are seventy-two hours old.
We should prefer putting it in small
drinking fountain SO that they can
help themselves but cannot get into it
to spatter themselves seriously. When
the chicks are seventy-two hours old
give them any good grade of chick
feed or a mixture of fine cracked
corn and fine cracked wheat, bread
crumbs, corn bread, or in fact, any
thing that is free from must and
mold that they will eat You can make
good mash by feeding equal parts
of ground corn, bran and rolled oats.
If the chicks are raised in brooders
in rather large lots you will need to
use the dry feed that can be fed scat
tered in the litter, such as the chick
feed. Where the chicks are raised
with hens they can be given feed Of
an entirely different character as they
will run out of the coops and take
exercise of their own accord.
If you will tell me more about how
you try to raise chicks I could per-
haps help you some. At least I should
be glad to try. G. Halpin.

WHAT ABOUT WATERGLASS.

Previous to this year we have al
ways prepared our winters store of
eggs by wrapping each one separate
ly in paper. This summer | read an
authority Oh using waterglass, or
liquid glass, for preserving them.
have since seen the same formula
quoted in various farm journals and
home helps" columns SO decided to
try it as it is much simpler than our
old method. Since my decision a
party tells me that the process is not
satisfactory. that the waterglass taints
the eggs and they do not keep we'll.
Now the authority | was going to
follow states that the eggs will keep
satisfactorily for year. I have never
tried this method nor am l personally
acquainted with anyone who has, so if
you can in any way assist me | shall
be very grateful and shall await your
verdict before beginning my winter
packing-Mrs. ]. r. NJ, Dane County.
We have found the waterglass
method very satisfactory for preserv-
ing eggs. We put eggs down in April
and May when the supply is at a
maximum and the price the lowest
and find them entirely satisfactory for
cooking purposes during the season of
greatest scarcity; that is, in the latter
part Of November and December. We
have many dozen put down now in an
experimental way using different solu-
tiOns and other materials besides wa
terglass, as we'll as quite a good many
down in waterglass. To date we have
found the waterglass method the most
satisfactory but hope that we can find
something that will be cheaper and
just as good. The essential thing in
putting eggs away is to have them
fresh, from clean nests and kept cool
from the time they are produced un-
til they are put down. We last wear
sold some of the waterglass eggs to
some of the most particular people
in Madison and asked them to use
them for cooking purposes and report
to us. The results were very salts
factory. You need to be careful that
the waterglass does not evaporate, if
1t does evaporate then the eggs will
become musty.-James G. Halpin.

are private dining rooms reserved for
the exclusive use of the legal frater-
nifty. Into one of these rooms one day
there hustled a gaunt female, who on
being courteously approached by a

Thereupon an unblushing @. c. looked
the lady in the face and expressed his
mind. Still she did not bulge.
Counselor Lockwood then interviewed.

seemly in this lady's presence" he re-
marked. ''She wears a gown, and
yes, I'm pretty sure that she also wears
a wig" The lady went-London Tat

History of Cotton.

Prior to the middle Of the eighteenth
century cotton, so far as modern time
is concerned, was practically unknown
1t was grown only in the flower gar
den. When eight bags of the staple
arrived in Liverpool in 1884 the Gus
tom house officers seized it on the
ground that so much could not have
been raised in America. In 1877 our
first cotton mill was set in motion at
Beverly Mass In 1893 Whitney in
vented the cotton gin, which rendered
cotton raising profitable, and it soon
became the leading crop of the south.
