RIGHT TREATMENT FOR ROUP
Best Plan to Rectify Conditions Likely
to Cause TroubIe-Be Sure
That Coop Is Dry.

Roup, or contagious catarrh, as II
is sometimes called, shows itself in
the fall and winter when the chickens
are housed and when hand feeding is
used almost entirely. Therefore, at
this time Of the year chickens do not
get the usual amount of exercise, are
affected by dampness and lack of venti-
iatiOn of coops, and are often fed table
scraps or mashes which become easily
contaminated.
The symptoms of this disease vary
considerably, but the most common
ones are swelling of the head, dis
charges from the eyes and sometimes
from the nose, and inflammation of
the mouth, in which sometimes cank-
ers and false membranes are formed.
In advanced stages of the disease the
chicken becomes drowsy and listless
and loses weight. There may be some
slight attacks in which only the eyes
or the mouth are affected, the bird
otherwise being apparently healthy.
The essential treatment for this
trouble is to rectify the conditions
which are likely to cause it. Make
sure that the coop is dry and has
plenty of ventilation without drafts.
Roup is not often found where the
hens are housed in the open-front
type coop. Also make sure that the
food and water are fresh and clean.

CLIP YOUNG ALFALFA PLANTS
Practice Keeps Down Weeds, Encour-
ages Greater Growth and Develop
ment Of the Roots.

Clipping the young alfalfa crop is
considered good practice. 1t keeps
down weeds which, If allowed to get
their full growth, might smother out
the young plants. 1t encourages the
growth Of a more stocky plant and
greater root development. Set the
sickle bar of the moving machine high
and go over the field several times dur
ing the summer.
No hay crop should be removed the
first year unless very early seeding
has been done On unusually rich soil.
1t is safest to leave good growth on
the ground as cover during the win
ter. Late summer seeding needs no
attention. The entire growth should
be left as a winter cover and should
not be grazed.

WINTER SUPPLY OF RHUBARB
As Cold Weather Approaches Lift
Roots and Place In ceIIar-PIant
Must Have Water.

All that is necessary to have rhu-
barb of the finest quality in midwin-
ter or early spring is to lift the roots
as cold weather approaches, leave
them i'm a box Of soil and put them
In the cellar. II they are put In the
last of November or fore part Of De-
cember they will be ready for use In
February. For later use they may
be put in later, but 1t Is necessary that
they be taken up in the fall, as 1t
would be difficult after they are frozen
i'm the ground.
1t is necessary that they have wa
ter after being placed In boxes, but
they do not need light and will grow
better In dark cellar. A single clump
of roots from well-developed hill will
afford stalks enough to give sufficient
amount of pie material for family.

SELECTING GOOD SEED
Best Grade Is Produced Under
Favorable Conditions.
Look Over Various Parts of Field and
Mark Parts Wanted for Seed
Should Be Stored Separate
From Other Grains.

By C. p. BULL University Farm. st.
Paul)
The very best time to get good seed
is when it is In the making. Good seed
is like good live stock-best when it
under favorable conditions. SO 1T is
that some parts of the fields are better
than others for the production of ma
ture, well-filled, sound seed; while 9TH
er parts will produce less valuable
product. Looking over the various
parts of. the field before cutting, one
may select the parts of the crop to be
handled separately for the next years
seed supply. No extra work or fuss
ing" will be necessary before cutting.
The field may be cut as whole and
shocked, but extra care is necessary in
setting up shocks in the "seed" part of
the field. A 12-bundle shock with two
carp, sheaves will withstand unfaVor-
able weather and protect the grain.
AS soon as the grain is field-dry it
should be stacked or threshed. The
seed grain should be put in a separate
stack and the cap sheaves should not
be allowed in with the other parts of
the shocks. They may go in with the
feed or sale grain. When threshed the
seed grain should be stored separate
from other grain, thus keeping it I'M
mixed. When thus kept separate from
field to bin it will be ready at any time
for the last analysis-the tanning mill
before sowing.
1t is net an easy matter always to
judge the increased profit that comes
from saving seed grain in this manner.
Climate. soil and diseases have much
to do with the apparent physical con-
dition of the crop, but in the long
run, such saving of seed will give much
stamina to the variety and increase its
yielding capacity.

Hickman People Should Ask
Themselves This Question.

Don t say: It's just a cold.
1t may turn into backache,
rheumatic aches, achy joints.
Or other serious sickness that
comes from weak kidneys.
Colds are due to congestion.
Congestion makes the kidneys
over-work to filter the blood.
Colds often leave the kidneys
weak.
First break the cold;
Then use Doan's Kidney Pills
to avert the kidney dangers.
Let this Hickman resident tell
you about them.
