It absorbs it's own food, develops it's own eggs, and finally separates itself from the balance of the worm and passes out to the ground. There are thousands ot eggs in each segment. These are scat tered on the ground, among food, in the drinking water and other birds pick them up and are conta minated. AS fast as one segment drops from the terminal end of the worm. another develops from the neck and. as the distance from the neck grows greater the segments are more completely filled with mature eggs. Mean- while these segments are absorbing nu- triments from the intestinal tract of the host.
 The presence of worms adds to the discomfort of the birds they cease to lay, become poor in flesh, young birds do not make proper development, ana may cause death.
 It has been found that one kind Of tapeworm has for it's intermediate host the common house fly. The fly eats the eggs of the worm. Tn this fly the eggs hatch and pass through one stage of their development. into a tiny cyst. The fly is then eaten by the chicks, who are always after bugs and other insects The tapewarm larva natures. and new worms attach themselves to the wall of the intestine of the new host.
 What to Do for Worms
 It is a good plan to open the intes tines of birds killed for table use, anc if the flock is found to harbor any worms the birds should be treated.
 Oil of worniseed given in doses of one teaspoonful to each dozen birds once a week will go long way, toward riddins the flock of this trouble. Mix this fluio in mash made of wheat rniddlings oi wheat middlings and cornmeal, and feed it in such manner that all birds will get their share Follow this with Ep- som salt. giving one tablespoonful te every six fowls. Dissolve the salt ir water and use this water to mix the dry feed as above indicated. Another remedy is to boil quantity of tobacco

fowl, large and round, with heavily feath- cred legs and feet, and long, soft curling feathers in all sections, which should be pure white.
 The hens get broody, sit, hatch and rear chicks. making excellent mothers The chicks grow rapidly but feather slowly, attaining considerably size before they are fully feathered. The bullets reach laying period in about eight months, but neither sex attains full size until year old At that time, the fe- males weigh from eight to ten pounds and males 10 to 12 pounds, and more These fowls are considered poor foragers and are hardly suited for general farm flocks.

 Incubators have played such an impor- tant part in the development of the poul- try industry it is almost superfluous to enumerate their advantages. To the in- experienced they sometimes, suggest an intricate appartus, requiring special skill and practice before one can hope for best results. This is not so; reliable incubators are so simple child can op- crate them. There will be an article on the subject for next week.

quarters. It is also good plan to raise the chicks away from the. flock of grown birds, allowing only the mother that broods them to run with them. Sometimes the following method re- lieves the victim. It may be possible to feel the lump in the windpipe, and if so, take large feather, strip all the barbs, except the tip. Dip this tip in kerosene, grasp the bird. open it's mouth and oass the feather down the pindpipe past the lump of worms, twist and withdraw the feather, endeavoring to dslodge the woims.
 Worms Found in the Intestines
 There are two kinds of worms com monly found in the intestines and they have been found in 80 per cent of the birds examined in this laboratory These are round worms and ribbon shaped worms or tapeworms. Some people think that a tapeworm consumed food, but this is not so.
 If we examine a tapeworm under a microscope we find that they have no intestinal tract or mouth at all. They attach themselves to the lining of the first portion of the intestines and float back in the intestinal tract among the digesting food, where they absorb d- gested nutrients. This is one reason why fowls infested with these worms are poor and emaciated This absorption is accomplished by the worm in much the same manner as the absorption by the
 ntestines.
 The tapeworm attaches itself to the lining of the intestines by means of an apparatus consisting of four suckers and cluster of hooks arranged in double circle between the suckers With the aid of lens We find that back of the head of the worm there is short, smooth neck which is followed by segments The seg- ments farthest from the head are the oldest. and each is complete individual

one and one-fourth inches long, which ind their way into the windpipe and cause true gapes. These two worms are usually attached, making a Y-shaped looking worm, but which, as just stated, Is really two distinct individuals Many Of these forms may invade a single trachea and cause serious trouble.
 How the Worms Spread
 When filled with mature eggs the fe- male worm is coughed out of the trachea, or the chick dies and the worms then de- cay, and finally the eggs or minute worms are freed upon the ground. These are de- voured by earth worms. which are in turn eaten by the young chicken, and the bird is infested. Only young birds are seri- ously affected by gapeworms. At any rate they do not produce serious results
 Earthworms taken into the stomach of the chick are digested, and the minute worms (Syngamus trachealis) are liber- ated It must be remembered that all dead tissue is digested by the stomach fluids, but the live worms are so consti- tuted that these secretions have no i'll effects upon them. The liberated worms TOW bore their way through the wall of the stomach and finally become located in the trachea They attach themselves in clusters to the wall of the trachea. Their Nedus are provided With suction discs by winch they hold on. The head parts are equipped with microscopic membraneous teeth that wound the surface to which 1hey are attached and suck the blood. As the worms grow the ma ss becomes larger. At nrst perhaps they cause no inconven- lence later they induce grave symptoms and death. As each worm grows the air passage gradually becomes obstructed and the bird finds breathing more and more dlftieult- Threatened with suffcca- ton the bird extends it's head into the air ] and gasps.

 You could never catch onto the story of Ada? Why, Mir. Caudle, it was printed in the newspapers several tinces before the opera and I asked you purposely to read 1t so you would un derstand. You never did like to see two women fighting over one man, and especially if he was a fat man? And why did they have to sing so long and so hard and repeat the same thing over and over so many times, instead of going on and just shooting old Rhadames and finishing the thing early in the game? We'll, MT. Caudle, you are hopeless! There's no use; may as well give up when it comes to anything musical or intellectual with you. Golf, cards, highballs, silly young hussies-that's all that will ever interest your poor, little, feeble brain and the next time the opera and the ballet come I shall ask some mu- sically congenial, intelligent compan- ion to accompany me and not be em- barrassed by your ridiculous antics and remarks.

WHITE COCHINS

This is the white variety of the fa- nous Cochin fowl, which is thought to have boomed the rearing and exhibiting of fancy poultry Although variously called Shanghais and Cochin Chinas in their early days, the breed came from Shanghai, China, and was first intro- duced into England about 1S45.
 At first the Shanghai was generally of red color. Sl1lllful fanciers developed the Buff. Partridge. White and Black varieties, and of these the White Cochin Is the subject of our sketch. They are esteemed as large roasting fowls, and are bred pure or crossed for this pur- pose. The White Cochin Is a handsome

Fisher the men Of whom he had photo

found the two detectives plugging
away without stopping to get any
