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

Roup, or contagious catarrh, as 1t 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- lation 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- CTS 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.

WINTER SUPPLY OF RHUBARB
As Cold Weather Approaches Lift Roots and Place in CelIar-Plant
 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 in box of soil and put them in the cellar. If 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 it is necessary that they be taken up in the fall, as it would be difficult after they are frozen in the ground.
 It 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.

SAYS HOGS ARE NOT FILTHY
Care and Protection, Yet He Is Frequently Neglected.

(By PROF. K. T. J. EKBLAW, Univer-
 sity of Illinois)
 Hog raising has probably returned proportionately greater profits to the corn belt farmer than any other en- terprise. In view of this, it might naturally be expected that the hog be the best-housed animal on the farm. In the majority of cases, however, the opposite is true.
 The old-fashioned idea that the hog is a tough, filthy animal still persists, and many farmers believe and act in the belief that anything is good enough for hog. As an actual thing, there is no farm animal that needs care and protection more than the hog.

gets older-up in the teens-the teeth are more slanting than while younger. They adjust themselves by steady wear considerably, yet not all of them wear to the right length. Sometimes just one extra long tooth will keep the others from closing together as they should, and the horse cannot mas ticate it's feed properly. The result, of course, is improper nourishment and a poor-looking animal.

LAMBS HAPPENED IN AUTUMN
Make Better and Cheaper Gains in Fall, Provided There Is Plenty
 of Rape and Clover.

If the market warrants it lambs will make better and cheaper gains during the fall, provided there is plenty Of rape and clover pasture, than they will during the winter.
 If the fall markets are slow and the lambs unfinished it will no doubt pay to feed until the new year. This will cost from to } cents day according to the prices of feed in the local mar ket. But due allowance must be made fer the fertility returned to the land.

UNDERWATER TOOK THE BAIT
Quaker's shrewd, 1T Somewhat Un- scrupuious Trick, Had the Success
 He Anticipated.

Some months ago the Companion told a little tale of old privateering days, in which a quick-thinking en- ployee who discovered long-overdue privateer coming into port with prize, by some very hard riding overlook the owner of the ship on his way to the underwriters and saved him from the useless payment of heavy premium. An English Quaker was reminded of an anecdote of the same period, based on the same situation, which occurred among his own people.
 Two Quakers, merchant and an underwater meeting at an inn, began talk business over their meal. The merchant presently proposed to his friend to insure his vessel, lost or not lost, which ought soon to arrive; in fact, 1t was already slightly overdue. The premium would necessarily be high, but the times were perilOus and the Yankee privateers had recently taken many prizes upon the route the vessel must cover. The underwater hesitated. The policy was made out, but his mind was not made up. Final ly he put the paper into his pocket, saying:
 q will sleep on the matter, friend Joseph, and tomorrow I will return it to thee, signed or unsigned"
 They parted and went to, their homes. Before dawn an urgent mes senger clattered at the merchants door. He was bringer of bad tidings. The vessel was lost. It was, unless it was insured, heavy misfortune. If only, that policy had been signed the day before! He had little belief that his hesitating friend would have de- cided to take the risk; he was eau tious and keen person, with repu- tation for sharp practice. But Joseph saw in that fact his opportunity. Sum- moning a messenger, to whom he said no word of his loss, he dispatched him with a message, instructing him care fully exactly what words to use. He was to say:
 "F'riend Joshua, neighbor Joseph de- sires me to inform thee that, if thee hast not underwritten, thee needst not do it.'
 The message was delivered promptly and precisely Friend Joshua, who had not signed, and had decided against doing so, understood it to mean that the ship had arrived safely, and the owner did not wish to pay the pre- mium, now useless, unless the signed document required him in honor and law to do so. That is what the canny Joseph expected him to think; and he proceeded to act as Joseph had guessed he might act. He pretended not to find the policy where he looked for it in his office, slipped it stealthily among handful of other papers, which he carried carelessly with him into the next room, where he went os- tensibly to seek further, and there sly ly signed it. Presently he brought it back and delivered it to the messenger with the message:
 'Tell thy master I had signed"
 It was not a pretty bit of business friend J. Sephs trick was little too clever-bdt certainly no one can sym- pathize with friend Joshua. It was a case of the bitter bit.-Youth's Con- panion.

INAUGURATION DAY
 OFFERS PROBLEMS
Cabinet and Congressman Puzzled
 by Unusual Situation

Washington, Nov. 10.-The fact that March 4, Inauguration day, falls in 1917 on Sunday is causing more ar less academic discussion. The mat ter has been considered informally by many officials and by members of the cabinet. senators. and congress- men who stand close to President Wilson. No one has reached defn- ite conclusion as to the precise legal solution.
 The outgoing president usually holds office until noon of the day of the inauguration of his successor. Probably law or state paper signed by him on March 4 before noon would be held by the courts or by congress to be legal and of full force and eff feet. Like wise, any similar action by the new president in the afternoon of
New Britain herald., 1916-11-10

that day would be of full legal force. Secretary Lansing, on whom would fall the responsibility of acting as president ad interim, according to the view of some authorities, has &C., knowledged that he has reached no conclusions regarding the technical ity anl knows of none reached by others, He also feels quite sure that no situation will arise nor will any necessity be likely which will impose on him the brief authority of a chief magistrate.
 Attorney General Gregory is an- other member of the cabinet whose attention has been drawn to the per- picking question of who would be president in the Sunday interval. His view is that no precedent exists under which to formulate a legal opinion as to the necessity for any intermediate holding of tha office.
 Little light is afforded by examina- ton of the law provided by congress to meet the contingency of the failure for any cause whatever of a president to perform the duties of his office. This law was drawn by the late Sen ator Hoar of Massachusetts and went into effect in 1886. It provides that in case of the removal. death, resig- nation, or inability of both the Presi- dent and Vice President of the United States, the secretary of state shall act as president until the disability of the president or vice president is re- moved or president elected"
 In case there should be no secre-
New Britain herald., 1916-11-10

tary of state, or he should be unable to act then the secretary of the treas ury should act. and so on in turn. IT each member of the cabinet according to priority of the office should be un- able to act, the one next lower should be president pro tenn. This law, how ever, was not enacted to meet what will happen March 4, 1917. which is not regarded as legal offical or leg islative day.
 This is not either. the first time March has rolled around on Sunday. The first inauguration of Andrew Jackson fell on the day of rest. So did Rutherford B. Hayes inaugura- ton. In those cases the oath of of flee was taken on March 8, the Sat- urday before the actual beginning of the term os office. and the new presi- dent moved into the White House on Monday, the 9th, which. of course, avoided all criticism from good people who did not believe in moving into a new house on Sunday.
 In short, the legal view of induc- tion into office seems to depend on the qualification of the principal ra- ther than the time or place of inaugu- ration. Andrew Johnson took the oath of office as president at the Kirk wood House within an hour after the death of President Lincoln. and later repeated it before the United States senate. Congress has fixed the time when a term of office begins, and if the president-elect has taken the oath of office in the proper and legal man.
New Britain herald., 1916-11-10

ner any time before his term begins he Is regarded as qualified to enter on his duties whether they begin on Sunday or any other day
 If MT. Hughes were elected presi- office on Saturday, March 3. 1917, he dent and should take the oath of would ipso facto be President of the United States according to law and precedents at the stroke of high noon March A., even if he should happen to be listening to the benediction from Dr., Greene in Calvary church. or himself singing the doxology.
