GAPES CAUSED BY PARASITE
Symptoms Are Sneezng, Continual
Gasping for Breath and Suffoca-
LONESOME Good Remedies.

The cause of gapes in young chicks
Is a parasite in the windpipe. This
parasite is a small, reddish worm.
which is the larvae of an insect living
on the skin. The symptoms are sneez-
ing, continued gasping for breath, and
suffocation. To prevent this aff1ictio1
anOint the head of the chick with one
ounce of mercurial ointment, one ounce
Of lard, One-half ounce of flower of
sulphur and One-half ounce of crude
petroleum. Immersing chicks in the
fumes of carbolic acid till nearly suf-
located is unfailing, though dangerous.
To withdraw the parasitical worms,
insert two stiff horsehairs in loop,
twist and pull. Also strip a feather
except the end tuft, dip in turpentine,
insert, twist once, and withdraw. Be
careful ont to lacerate the throat.

GrdIIng Effect Produced by Larva
of Leopard Moth.

ing of fumes This means that the
operator should not smoke while at
work. On the other hand, there need
be no fear Of the liquid damaging the
hands.
The leopard moth in it's adult form
has a spotted appearance, the semi
transparent white wings being thickly
dotted with blackish, dark blue, or
greenish spots. There are also large
black spots on the thoraX and dark
cross bands on the white abdomen.
The moth lays its eggs, either singly
or in groups, during the summer, usu-
ally selecting crevices in the rough
to deposit them. The larvae or cater
pillars hatch about ten days after
ward and at once penetrate the liv-
ing wood. As they feed, they burrow
tunnels which frequently encircle
completely the tree or branch. When
the larva has grown too large for the
branch in which it is feeding, it crawls
out and moves to one more suitable.
AS the insect remains in the larva
stage, feeding in this way, for nearly
two years, it is capable of doing
great deal Of damage before it trans
forms to the pupa or chrysalis stage.
This it does in May or later, and some
time between May and the end of
September it energies as an adult or
moth.
Damage by this borer is often so

severe as to render it necessary to
establish system of inspection.
Wherever possible the bisulphid of
carbon should be used. Care should
also be taken to see that the insect
is not allowed to breed in growth
that is near valuable trees. The use
Of fertilizers VIII strengthen the trees
to withstand the attacks of this and
other insects.
The protected and Concealed man
ner of life of this borer, which VIII
apply in the main to borers in general,
renders it very difficult of treatment
by means of insecticides or other di-
rect measures. The most efficacious
remedial measure consists in cutting
off and destroying affected branches
and in the injection of bisUlphid of
carbon into the holes or burrows
where the larvae are at work.
For stopping the holes after inject
ing the liquid, putty and moist clay,
advised by some, have been found
practically useless. Grating wax, on
the other hand, gives perfect salts
faction. Coal tar is less advisable hut
may be substituted for the latter, or
the holes may be closed by inserting
a wooden plug and breaking or saw
ing it off even with the trunk. In
any case the stopper should be tight,
to exclude water from rains, which
might tend to produce decomposition
of the surrounding wood or invite the
entrance of other insects, like carpen-
ter and other ants and secondary bor-
ers, of which there are many species,
and injurious fungi.
1t is possible to reach and destroy
many larva by forcing a copper or
other pliable wire into the channels.
This is a well-known borer remedy.
1t is impossible, however, by this
means to kill the insects in all cases,
owing to the length or crookedness
Of the burrows. Bisulphid of carbon
should then be used

YOUNG CHICKS REQUIRE ASH
Some Is Furnished From Vegetable

ter Also Needed

A rapidly growing chick gains no,
only in flesh, but makes bone at the
same rate and in order to make this
necessary bone growth, large
amount Of ash is required in the form
Of lime and phOsphates. Some of this
is furnished from vegetable juices,
but 1t must also be furnished from ami
NAL and mineral sources.
Shell and grit are the two most
common mineral sources, while beef
scrap and graduated bone are the
most common sources. Beef scrap
should not be fed in excess so bone is
the most reliable source from which to
obtain the bulk of this animal require

The injection of bisulphid Of carbon
into the burrows of the leopard moth
and the cutting off and destroying Of
affected branches are recommended
as the most effective measures for
getting rid of this pest. The insect
feeds on the wood of a large number
of trees and shrubs and does much
damage along the Atlantic seaboard
between Massachusetts and New Jer-
sey and IN the Hudson river valley
In the caterpillar, or larva stage, the
leopard moth eats into the tree upon
which it feeds and not only checks it's
growth but SO Weakens it that it is
often broken by heavy windstorms.
The presence of the pest is indi-
Gated by the willing Of twigs or
branches and by accumulations of saw
.dustlike castings at the entrance of
the burrows. The discovery Of this
evidence should be followed promptly
by the pruning away of all the small
er injured twigs or branches. The
larger ones may be cut back behind
the injury and the stubs covered with
grating wax to prevent the entrance
Of other insects. All the wood that
has been cut away should be promptly
burned, in order to destroy the cater
pillars within. This precaution also
should be followed with all branches
that have fallen to the ground after
windstorms. Wherever the trees are
SO badly injured that there is little
hope of their recovery, it is best to
take them out and promptly destroy
them. In the case Of trees which are
only slightly affected, and especially
In the case of large and valuable trees,
bisulphid of carbon can be used eff
fectively. 1t is injected into the open
ings of the burrows with a long-spout-
ed oil can or a glass syringe, and the
openings are closed Immediately after
wards, preferably with grating wax.
Carbon bisulphid must be handled
with care, and precautions taken to
avoid danger from fire and the inhal-
