SPREAD OF WHITE DIARRHEA
Germs Of Ailment Carried In Bodies
Of Fowls Throughout Their Lives
Harmless 10 Man.

Fowls which have recovered from
bacillary white diarrhea may carry
the germs in their bodies throughout
their whole life. In the case of hens,
some eggs will be infected and some
will not. 1t is utterly impossible to
ascertain which eggs are free and
which are infected, so no eggs from
an infected hen should ever be used
for Matching. These disease germs
are perfectly harmless to human be-
lngs, so that both the meat and eggs
from Infected hens is as wholesome
as though the bird had never been
diseased. The case Of a fowl which
has recovered from bacillary white
aiarrhea is comparable to the person
who has what is commonly known as
walking typhoid"

PROPER ADJUSTMENT FOR INCUBATOR

Incubation Is the problem confront
ing most people who raise poultry Mt
present, and perhaps some are contcm-
plating changing their system of
Matching. Some have been attracted
by the lure of the Incubator and many
perhaps are disguised with last years
results. 1t is generally conceded that
natural incubation produces stronger
chicks than artificial, hut the whims of
the hen and attention necessary to her
care make more people turn TO artifl-
cial methods, and as n result great
numbers of incubator chickens are
produced each year. In Egypt 1t is
said that the hen Is losing some OF
her maternal instincts because of not
being permitted to set. Artificial in
cubation has come to be recognized as
an economic necessity. Many farms
have adopted the combination of hatch.
ing with incubators and broodlng with
hens, while others abandon entirely
the use of the hens as either hatchers
or breeders.
Follow Directions.
There is great difference between
incubators. Different makes require
different treatment. All i%ncubators
must be adapted to the particular en-

MIRRORS USES ARE MANY
Apart From Its Original Purpose, It
May Be Employed in
Variety of Ways.

Defining a machine, we say, ga
machine is:a device that makes work
easier and accomplishes that work
in shorter period of time" Among
some of the simpler machines we
find the buttonhook, scissors, knife,
etc. Probably you are wondering
just how the lookingglass may be
likened to a machine. Everyone is
familiar with its use in the house
hold. But a small mirror is often
a very convenient machine for re-
flecting light into dark place where
work must be done. Again, it may
be used in getting a straight line
by means of reflected sunlight. 1t
is commonly used by engineers in
producing a line through dense
brush, thus eliminating the work Of
clearing away thick brush or under
growth. Again, by means of the
mirror and the use of sunlight, men
are able to dig deep holes into the
ground or tunnels through the
mountains. Its principles are made
use of by some of the greatest as
tronomers by rejecting the light
from the star to the eye of the OBJ

playful little fights for which he is

stray fist caught him right on the

broken, but the. company doctor pro

badly swollen that further scenes
were impossible until it improved. In

was burned by an exploding bomb; in
