RIGHT TREATMENT FOR R0UP
Use Good Sharp Ak and Then Bury
Carcasses Deeply or Burn Them
Several Forms of AiIment.

The best way to cure roup among
poultry is to use good sharp AK and
then bury the carcasses deeply or burn
them. Roup may take several forms,
appearing at first like a severe cold.
Use enough permanganate of potash
in the drinking water to give it rich
wine color. Disinfect the yards and
houses with per cent solution of
carbolic acid.
Individual treatment should be the
same as for colds or catarrh. Press
the nostrils together with the thumb
and forefnger and apply pressure be-
tween the nostrils and eyes to loosen
the discharge. Then plunge the head
into a two per cent solution of per-
manganate of potash for 20 to 30 sec
onds. This treatment should be con-
tinued twice daily until all symptoms
disappear.

VALUES OF CHEESE
WIDE RANGE IN FOOD PROPER
TIES TO BE NOTED.
Presence of Cream Is Main Factor in
Deciding the Degree of Nutrlment
Contained-As Prepared by
Wise Chef.

Cheeses range in food value from
little over 400 to 1855 calories. This
latter food value is that of the cream
cheeses but the ordinary cream cheese
has only 910 calories per pound.
This wide difference is due to the
fact that a great deal of water may De
dried out of u cheese, and also great
deal more cream be present in some
cheese than others. There is practi-
cally no cream in cottage cheese, and
the water content may be extremely
high, as much as II per cent.
For this latter reason cottage
cheese with butter and cream and nuts
has only the food value of moderate
ly rich cream cheese, but because
larger quantity Of it is eaten as por-
ton there may be some danger of get
ting too much food for the body to care
for, although the digestion itself is not
so overworked.
Formerly flavor was put into cheese
by different types of curing. Today
the practice is to put all sorts OF tlaVors
in Just before the cheese is served.
When this leads to overeating it is bad
practice. But notice what the chef
does. When that final course of coffee
and cheese comes to you, perhaps you
will have served you something the size
of q silver dollar, made like the old
fashioned small tart. In thin little
disk of cottage cheese he has made
little outer wall by putting the cheese
through a pastry syringe, or "sprltzer,"
and in the center is about half tea
spoonful of currant jelly.
Recently l chose from public menu
what proved to be particularly pala-
table and filling conclusion to a light
luncheon. Cottage cheese had been
worked smooth with little cream OF
rich milk, and to this had been added
pecans chopped so fine as to be unrec-
ognizable to the eye, and thoroughly
mixed.-Exchange.

permit hauling upon it, but if not he
cleans into a pile in one corner of the
lot. His sheds are also paved and are
kept bedded with straw. He is still en-
thusiastic over his paved feedlot,
claiming that he secures enough extra
gain each feeding season to pay for
the cost of paving. He usually feeds
from two to five loads of cattle each
winter. "Nfy cattle do just as we'll
one week as another" he says, "while
those feeding in dirt lots complain
that it takes all the feed to keep even
during the times when their lots are

rel is swung on shaft which is
operated by driving gear. The driv-
ing gear Is worked by turning a han

rel holds it stationary while the top is

Then the top is fastened on tight, the
hook released, and the handle turned.
BY means of the gearing the barrel is

it could have been done in the old
days after long and weary work.

KEEP FEED YARD DRY
Cattle Cannot Thrive When Con-
fined in Muddy Lot.
Where Farmer Keeps Stock Comfort
able and Satisfied He Has Done
Much To Secure Gains From
Feed He Has Used.

Not all soil becomes deep with mud
during the winter season, but most
clay soil does, and larger section of
the country is not sand. There is q
saving that the best corn land is mud
when wet. 1t naturally follows that
the average feedlot is rather muddy
whenever there is moisture enough to
make it such.
It is also a safe bet that cattle are
not doing their best when confined
: in a muddy lot. We are learning
more and more that it pays to get
away from the mud, both for our own
comfort and for the comfort of our
stock, for if you will make stock ccm-

Farmer and feeder living in one of

that he was getting the material on the

PLACE FOR ALL IMPLEMENTS
ter Exposure to Elements
causes Rust and Decay.

From now on till next spring most
of the implements of cultivation will
not be used, nor will be planters. The
place for them, and for all implements
not in use every day, is under the shed.
Why? What does a man work for?
Implements cost money. Exposure to
the elements causes them to rust, warp
and decay.
When they are gone more work
must be done to get more money to
buy more implements, when just lit
tie work and a little care at the right
time would have made them last Il
year or two or three longer.

APPROPRIAT|ONFOR
WAR TO Be ASKED

Staggering revenue and taxation
problems face the coming regular
session OF Congress.
Not less than $4,000 100000 will in
all probability be needed to enable
the United States to carry on the
hrst two years OF the war.
This means that the coming regu-
lar session, which meets the hrst
Monday in December, must devise
revenue and make appropriations OF
something like $4,000, 100000.
The extra session OF Congress
which closed recently took steps to
finance the war for the first year.
In other words, It has looked after
the financing for the current fiscal
year. This fiscal year ends next June
80. It was necessary to provide about
S21. .oOO. 100000 for the current fiscal
year.
But the regular session will have
to give attention to financing the
war for the fiscal year which begins
next July 1. This will be stupend-
Gus task.
In all likelihood, more money will
be needed to carry on the war the
second year than the first year.
Hence the estimate of $4,000, 900, 600,
or $50 ,OO0, ,000, 900 for two years of
war. does not appear out of place.
The hard blow at Italy just struck
by the Teuton forces will be a factor
In compelling the United States to
multiply its preparations and enlarge
its expenditures.
A great fight is ahead in Congress
over efforts to make great incomes
and war profits bear a larger part
OF the burden of war.
A new tax bill VIII be framed. 1t
viii supplement the existing tax
laws. It is expected to call for about
$2.50o, 100000 annually, or substan-
tally the same as the September bill.
The Administration will launch such
q bill soon after the session opens.
Many new miscellaneous taxes will
be proposed and much larger lsvies
on great wealth. OF course, largo
bond issues will be proposed as wei
as more taxes. Bond issues in two
years may amount to $40, 900 900 900.
Perhaps $4,000, 100000 of the total
expenditures OF this Government will

Efforts will be made to repeal
