A Novel Surgical Device.

In cases of structure of the esOpha-
gus, which is the canal through which
food passes to the stomach and which
is situated behind the windpipe, it Is
important to secure an early diagnosis.
Popular Mechanics magazine tells Of q
new method, reported by New York
hospital physician, which gives clear
outline of malignant structures and Is
also readily applied aid in the treat
ment of moderate cases. A small
length of sausage skin, which is the
fibrous coat Of the intestine Of the hog,
Is thoroughly washed and treated with
formaldehyde and glycerln, then
formed into a bag by tying one end
with silk floss, the other end being
slipped over rubber tube and tied.
The bag, which Is now only string, is
then easily swallowed by the patient
with the aid of little water, and a
thick bismuth mixture Is allowed to
flow into 1t, after which X-ray pictures
show the outline of the structure
clearly.

PURITAN WAS EARLY RISER
Gettine-Up Bell Rang at Five o'clock
in Morning in Boston Two
Hundred Years AGO.

The nine-O'clOck bell in the evening
was an early observance by the Mas
sachusetts colony of the old English
curfew bell, says the Boston Tran
script. 1t was rung in Boston previous
to 1850 by the town bell ringer, who
later also had charge Of the town clock.
A century ago three bells were rung In
BostOn-at eight in the morning. one
In the afternoon and nine In the eve
ming. Two hundred years ago the
hours were five in the morning, eleven
In the morning and nine at night. AT
that date the inhabitants were not so
! prompt in rising as In the previous
century, when the bell was rung mt
30 by the first bell ringer.
| The midday bell was not first rung
to call people to their MONDAY meal in
Boston. In 1864, for the more con
venient and expeditions dispatch of
Marchants, assayers or any other re-
lating to strangers and our inhabitants,
lit Is ordered that the bell shall be
runge att Il II of ye clocke every work
Ing day to give motifs thereof to all per-
sons concerned and that the ringer
shall be allowed Up. per peare by
every person that commonly resort
thereunto and that they may assemble
in the Rome under the Towne house,
for the space of one hover for the ends
above expressed"
About 1870 the practice of ringing a
bell at one was begun, though for some
years later requests We're made for an
eleven O'Clock bell at some of the
clMrches, and that practice continued
In the last half of the eighteenth CEN
fury. During that century bells were
rung between eight and nine in the
morning on the day of town meeting.
On days of rejoicing the bells were
rung from six to seven In the morning
till noon, and from two to six in the
afternoon. The allowances by the town
to sections for daily ringing were, for
one ringing f10, for two ego and for
three f3O per annum.
The Civil war did more to abolish
the observance Of Saturday night as
the beginning Of Sunday, and finished
the falling away Of the previous 20
years. To the war must also be credit
ed the abandonment Of New England
farms, started by the more frequent in
tercourse between town and country
by railroads. =,

DEVELOP NEW TOWN MARKET
Farmers Can Get Better Prices by
Selling Fowls Direct to Consun-
ers-Advertising Helps.

Farmers who have a number of
roasting size chickens ready to sell to
commission men might get better
price for them by selling to town or
city jewellers. Such prospective buy
ers can be found readily by using a
little advertising space in the home
town newspaper, and a good business
be developed.
Many city dwellers have small
yard and house for poultry where
they keep few birds to fatten on
table and kitchen scraps. Such peo-
pie prefer birds of the roasting size,
keeping a small flock of them so they
may pick out a bird when needed.
They usually buy half-dozen or more
at one time and will pay more for
them than the farmer can get from
the commission man ordinarily. This
is "A good way to dispose Of surplus
cockerels at a time when the open
market might be Oversupplied

Kidney & Co.
(BY DIR. J. H wATSoN)

The kidneys and the skin work In
harmony. They're companions. the
skin being the second partner. If We
are anxious to keep well and preserve
the vitality Of the kidneys and, also,
free the blood from noxious elements,
we must pay special attention to II
good action of the skin and TO see that
the kidneys are flushed SO as TO elimi-
nate the pOisOns from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in bath,
at least once week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
Of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anuric, double strength. which
will help flush the kidneys and the in
testines. You will find that Anuric Is
many times more active than llthla
and that it dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

DISPOSITION OF DEAD BIRDS
Practice Of Allowing carcasses to Lie
About Premises Is Responsible
for Much Trouble.

The practice of allowing dead chick
ems to lie about the premises or in
the brooders and of throwing them
over the fence for the hogs to eat, is
decidedly bad, and directly RESPONSE
BILE for large losses each year by caus-
ing and distributing disease. Burning
is the safest and easiest method for
disposing of dead fowls. The coal
burning brooder stoves will take care
of any losses among small fiocks and
where considerable numbers of fowls
are kept a small laundry stove or air.
tight heater set up in the feedhouse or
tOOlrOOm will prove very satisfactory.

PROPER CARE OF INCUBATOR
49,
Practice Of Pennsylvania School to
Regulate Temperature Before Put
ting Eggs In Machine.

A constant temperature is essential
in the incubator. The practice at the
Pennsylvania School of Agriculture
and experiment station is to regulate
the temperature carefully before the
eggs are placed In the machine. The
regulator should not be disturbed af-
ter that time. Any further adjustment
of the temperature should be made by
lowering the flame of the lamp.
For the first week the temperature
should be 102 to 103 degrees, for the
second week about 103 degrees, and
beginning with the third week and con
tinuing TO the end Of the hatch, 103 to
104 degrees. These temperatures hold
good when the center of the bulb of
the thermometer Is about Ia inches
above the bottom of the egg tray.

life than at any other time. COnse-
quently, the early Matched chick, hav.
ing the advantage of a more favorable
growing season, makes greater gains
during the first four weeks of Its life
than the late-hatched chick. During
the early spring months when the tenn
perature is not so varied the growth
of chicks Is more uniform and con-
slant than 1t IS during the summer.
Millions of chicks die every year as
a result of being infested with lice
which, under average farm conditions,
are OfttimeS difficult TO control. Hen
Matched chicks are not as subject to
lice in the early spring as they are dur
ing the warmer months when lice are

Longest River In Europe.

The Volga Is the longest river in
Europe. It rises on the valdai plateau,
south of Petrograd, the capital Of Rus
STA, and it flows in southeasterly d.
rection and then south across Russia,
and empties into the northern part of
the Caspian sea at Astrakhan. Its to-
tai length is 2,310 miles, and it drains
an area of $4,000 square miles. 1t
possesses only slight and gradual
fall, and this is excellently adapted for
navigation. In spring floods the wa
tiers at certain parts are from ten to 10
miles across. The river is ice free
from 1893 to 260 days each year.

CRATE FOR FATTENING
Larger Gains and Better Condi-
tons of Flesh Produced.
Oroppines Fall Through Stat Bottom,
insuring Clean Feed--Description
Of Device Given by Pennsyi-
vania Expert.

Crate fnttening of fowls produces
larger gains and slightly better con-
dition of heshing than pen fattening.
It Is also cleaner, since the droppings
fall through the Stat or wire bottom
preventing soiling of the feet and
feathers of the fowls and insuring
clean feed.
Crate fattening involves the restric-
ton of exercise and forced feeding of
the fowls. l.. s. Kleinschmdt Of the
poultry husbandry division at the
Pennsylvania State college, gives the
following description of n desirable
fattenlng crate:
Birds are placed III small crates or
cages allowing approximately one
square foot of space for each bird.
The most desirable crate is six feet
long, 16 inches wide and 20 inches
high, divided into three two-foot COM
partments. The entire coop may be
made of wooden Stats One-half by one
inch In size, and running Iengthwise
over all parts except in front, where
they should be nailed vertically. All
except the bottom Stats may be spaced
about one inch apart. The bottom may
he made Of number 16 galvanized iron
wire, having two-inch mesh. The
top, ends and back may be covered
with two-inch poultry netting In
place of the Stats. A sliding door
should be on the front of the crate to
permit the removal of the bird to ar
range the crates In tiers one above the
other. If they are so arranged gal
vanized iron trays should be placed
beneath each crate to collect drop
pings A feed trough should be ar
ranged along the front of the crate.
A crate of this kind will accommo-
date from three to five birds in each
compartment.

CHICKS THRIVE BEST IN EARLY SPRING

u'roin the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
Contrary Ia general belief and prac-
tice, chicks do not grow or thrive as
well during the warm months or hot
summer days Ms they do earlier In the
spring. Experienced poultrymen real
lie this fnct. The average farmer,
however. does not make an effort TO
hatch early so that the chicks will
have the advantage OF II longer and
more favorable growing season. Early
Matching not only insures more rapid
gains in the growth OF chicks but has

COMFORT FOR EARLY CHICKS
Warm Place Should Be Provided to
Prevent Chilling When Mother
Hen Fails to Brood Them.

Early chicks with hens should be
kept in a warm place, otherwise they
are likely to be chilled when the hens
fail to brood them at the right time,
and as each chick may require brood
ing at different times, cold day would
find 1t necessary for the old hen to
hover her brood practically all the
time, something that she Is not likely
to do. II the room is warm, there is
less chance for trouble of this kind.
Crossville chronicle. [volume] (Crossville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1917-05-16

more prevalent. If for no other reason
chicks should be Matched early so their
growth will not be interrupted by the
presence of lice.
Many farmers realize considerable
money each spring from the sale Of
broilers, the price of which Is usually
governed by their size when sold and
the time marketed. Thus it would
seem that in order to increase the
amount of money from the sale of
brollers and fryers early Matching
would be employed so as to have a
marketabe-sized fowl early in the
spring when prices are highest.
