Watch the Chicks Closely for
Symptoms of Contagious Diseases
Diarrhoea and Gapes Most Serious

! Loss OF little chicks from diarrhes
can be greatly reduced by observing
the methods of correct poultry raising
Nlnety-hve per cent OF the diarrhes
is not due to the white darrhea germ
but to other causes.
IT little chick is chilled il is
almost sure to have diarrhea. The
care less use OF the nursery tray in
the incubator is often responsible for
chilling chicks. For instance. il the
temperature in the nursery tray is al
lowed to fall as low as 80 degrees
as 1t easily might under careless man
agement, the newly Matched chicks
would become chilled by the sudden
change from l05 degrees in the egg
tray to 80 degrees in the nursery
Many persons are careless in trans
ierring chicks from incubator to
brooder. The transfer is made in a
cool room and no care is taken to
warm the container in which the
chicks are put. The hands should be
warm and the cloths used to cover
the chicks should be warm. The
brooder should be kept at a tempera-
ture Of 95 to 100 degrees the first
week and reduced about | degree a
day. The chicks should be kept warm
enough so that they do not crowd at
night and they should always be al
torded a cool place to which they
may go if they desire. When hens
are used in raising chicks they should
not be allowed out when the grass is
wet. A wet chick is usually a cold
chick.
Another cause OF diarrhea is being
overheated in the incubator or brood
er. Overheating may interfere with
the natural absorption of the yolk
and cause trouble after the chicks are
about week old.
Diarrhea may be caused by chicks
being permitted to scratch in musty
chat. II this occurs the mold spores
will become imbedded in the lungs of
the chick and white diarrhea will
result with very high mortality.
In some cases diarrhea NAV be
caused by the white diarrhea germ
which is said TO be present in the
ovary Of the mother hen. If this is
the case extreme sanitary precautions
should be observed. Care should be
taken to use only the most vigorous
breeding stock available. The incu-
bator should be cleaned and disin-
tected between every hatch and the

Gapes.
Gapes is disease which affects GER
tam birds and fowls. and particularly
chicks | to ! weeks old.
The symptoms are frequent gaping,
sneezing, whlstling cough with dis
charge OF mucus and worms. dump
ishness, weakness and dropping
wings In dead birds will be found
forked worms attached to the
trachea.
The only cause OF gapes is a worm
-Syngamus trachealis-called the
gapeworm, which attaches itself to
the windpipe The forkcd appear
ance is due to the close relation Of
the two sexes, being attached 10 each
other The adult female is much
larger than the male, her body being
filled with eggs and embryos. These
embryos are released. passed in the
fcces or coughed up. and may be
spread by contamination OF runs, feed
and drinking water
Embryo gapeWorms are often found
in earthworms.
To eradicate the disease, isolate in
tected birds, treat drinking water with
potassium permanganate, burn dead
birds, remove chicks to fresh ground
which is not infected. Cultivation of
injected ground is said to eradicate
worms in three years.
Different methods of treating in
dividual cases OF gapes have been used
successfully. The chick may be con-
tlned Tor short time in box which
has air slaked lime on the floor. The
lime is said to cause the worm to re-
lease its grip and the chick to sneeze
it out, Another method is to strip
a feather, leaving small tuft, moisten
with turpentine and introduce into the
wlndplpe. Care should be taken not
to lacerate the windpipe or suffocate
the chick. Two horsehars tied to-
gether, the knot trimmed run down
the chickens throat and removed in
a twisting manner will remove the
worms GapeWorm eXtractors may
also be found on the market

In view OF the numerous newspaper
reports that rulings in the case OF
claims for discharge because of de-
pendent relatives we're TO be radically
changed. Information from Major Wal
lace this morning by telegram to the To-
cal board revealed that there is no
foundation in fact for such rumors
or reports.
The local board in its decisions has
been governed by the letter and spirit
of the instructins received by it from
the governing authorities. The tele.
gram received this morning reads as
follows:
ut is reported that communications
emanating from various sources and
sometimes from persons in semi'offi.
cial capacities have been addressed to
district and local boards and purport
to give instructions governing the ex'
ecution of the selective service law.
Press reports have also carried what
seem to be interpretations of the law
by very high officials. In many in
stances these reports and communica'
tons are inaccurate and sometimes to.
tallv subversive of the regulations and
the actual Instructions that have been
issued. This occasion is taken to in
form all officials engaged in the exeCu'
ton Of the law that authorized rulings
are communicated by telegram from
Washington to this office, and by this
office disseminated to boards, and that
where these rulings are of a general
nature they are promptly published
and printed. Local and district boards
should disregard unauthorized inter
pretations and shall be governed entire
" by instructions from this office"

teresting way and everyone enjoyed
him immensely,
Dean j. R. jewell OF Arkansas,
spoke next on the subject OF "Old
Fogies" He is decidedly not an old
fogey himself as has been proved by
the number OF men he has personally
taught and who now hold splendid
positions throughout the foremost
colleges,
He spoke in a brilliant way, show
ing a vein of rich humor most pleas
ing to his audience. He said If he
only had an hour and one half to talk
he would be more comfortable and
his audience more uncomfortable. He
spoke Of the James chapter on Habit
which he felt should be in the Bible
saying that it was more sure to Gre
ate religion in a mans life than any
thing he knew.
He told an amusing story Of visit
ing in Louisville with several teach
ers and how they all agreed that
nothing they should do should stamp
them as teachers. Upon stopping a
newsboy they gave him nickels in
stead Of pennies and asked-"My lad,
how do you think we earn our liv-
ing?" The small newsie stood out OF
the way and yelled-"Fifth grade in
arithmetic-rise.'
He spoke OF habit so influencing us
that we put on the same shoe first
each morning and asked that If we
did not believe it to try it. He said
when he heard man swear he could
grade his education-the man could
say the girl was pretty but not that
she was prettier without using an
adjective he did not dare use.
He said an old fogey was man
who shut his eyes and ears and all
senses and refused to be graceful with
fork, mind or teaching. He said that
most habits were classitications-
you're either a Democrat or Re-
publican and Heaven itself can't
move you" He told of the Boston
woman who went to Heaven and said
St. Peter at the door-"Madam, you
can come in here, but you won't be
satisfied.
He told of the teacher who said to
her pupil who had been naughty
you're not fit to associate with any
decent person-come up and sit with
me-"
He said that habit did not make
for progress, never did and never will
and that practise did not make per-
feet unless practised in the right way
He said that habit taught US all kinds
of wrong things.
Section meeting took up this morn
ing directly after the speaking where
round table discussions were the i'm
portant part of the program. Lunch
was served by the High school girls
This afternoon Mr.. jackson spoke:
on "school Discipline-the old and
