FOR WORMS IN CHICKENS.
Poultry Raiser Finds Remedy Recon-.

Poultry Raiser Finds Remedy Recon.
mended Very Successful.
VERY successful" is the way a Mas
sachusetts poultry raiser describes d
remedy for worms in chickens, sug-
gested to him by United States De-
partment of Agriculture Official after
recommendation by investigators in
the Califoria Agricultural Expert
ment Station.
The poultry raiser added, in his
letter Of thanks, that thorough trials
of other remedies had failed. That
which he pra ised follows:
Suggested Treatment.
"Give the chickens no food or wa
ter for "a hours before treating; then
feed them half the usual amount Of
ground feed. in which has been mixed
finely choppea tobacco stems soaked
for two hours in all the water they
will absorb. One pound of tobacco
stems (weighed before soaking) is
sufficient for 100 birds. Two hours
after the chickens have eaten the
medicated mash, give them ons-
fourth of the usual ration Of ground
feed mixed with water in which En-
som salt has been dissolved, using IL
ounces of EPSON salt for 100 birds.
ITO reduce the. chances of further
infestation all manure and loose dirt
should be removed from the chick an
yard and the pens and roosts thor
oughly scaldea and cleansed with hot
water" ''

During the past twenty-seven months
the Messrs. r. M. Cooper, Sr., and r.
M. Cooper, Jr., and the Messrs. Play
ers, MoOneyhams, and several others
have invested something more than
sixty thousand dollars in Guernsey

equipment.
The latest improved methods Of
dairying including disease prevention
and modern methods of sanitation
are in vogue on all of these neighbor-
hood farms. Hundreds of cans of
milk are shipped daily to different
distant points. Thousands of dollars
are brought into that neighborhood,
soils are improved and commercial
fertilizer bills cut down to a mimi
mum, and the county made much
weather. thereby.
Altogether speaking Elliott, WI

graduated for their progressiveness
and modern methods, and last but not
least by long shot for their courteous
treatment and hospitality to visitors.

ANOTHER GREAT FIRE IN IN
DUSTIeIAL PLANT.
Washburn Wire Company Wiped Out
With Loss Of $4,000, ,OOO--Was
Working on Orders for Govern
mcnt.

New York. Nov. 11.-New York
City's water front was the scene of
another disastrous fire today when
the factory Of the Washburn Wire
Company, which was working on large
car orders for the United States gov
ernment. was destroyed with an esti-
mated loss of nearly $2,000,000. The
patrolman who discovered the fire
said he found three separate blazes at
different places in the factory, which
was housed in series of buildings eX-
tending from One Hundred and Sew
enteenth to One Hundred and Eight
ccnth Streets and half a block deep
on the East River front in Harlem.
Daniel c. Turner, general manager
Of the company. told Fire Marshal
Brophy that % Germans and 200
Austrians were included in the force
of 1000 employees in the factory and
that all of the Germans except one
had zone permits issued by the fed
eral government. Fourteen nation
alities are represented among the
workmen, it is said.
Fire Marshal Brophy has summon
ed Mr.. Turner and score of en-
ployees TO appear at hearing before
him tomorrow.
The fire, one of the most spectac-
ular of recent years, started shortly
after noon and was not brought under
control until 4 o'clock. The buildings
ranged from two to six stories in
height and only parts of two of them
remain standing. Tenement houses
nearby were emptied of occupants and
i. was only after the greatest strug-
gle by firemen that the flames were
confined to the factory. Five firemen
were injured by falling walls and a
water tower was demolished under an
avalanche of bricks. Tons Of barbed
and other wire, placed on the side
walks preparatory to loading tomor-
row and scattered through the fac
tory were destroyed.
The flames apparently enveloped the
different buildings simultaneously.
Five alarms called out all the fire
fighting apparatus in a large district
This was augmented by fleet of fire
patrol boats and railroad floats equip
ped with high pressure hose.
A series of. explosions, caused when
the flames reached oil accumulat,ons
in the machinery, added to the danger
OF the fire. Some of the explosions
caused doors and walls to collapse
sending up great clouds of sparks
that flew to nearby buildings Stores
of material used i'm manufacturing
insulation gave out heavy black
smoke which, with the terrific heat,
kept the fire fighters at least a half
block from the factory.
