in throwing it off, 4 serious case of
obesity may result.
Don't wait until your health is
ruined through carrying around a

5. o. Companies Handle Only 65 Per

/ New York, April 24.-The Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey knows
| Of no artificial price conditions in the
gasoline fields and the company has
.'scrupulously observed the United
States supreme courts dissolution de-
cree. A. c. Bedford, president of the
company, said today in a statement is
sued in connection with the report OF
the federal trade commission on the
latter's gasoline investigation.
The federal trade commission init
mates that a portion of the rise in
the price of gasoline, at least in some
sections of the country, may be due to
conditions which it characterizeS as
artificial
I'VE know of no artificial conditions
whichf have affected prices and the
fact is that the operations of this COM
pany have been dictated solely by

After pointing it out as significant
that the commission finds that the
Standard Oil companies handle only 6 )
per cent of the gasoline marketed in
this country as compared with 81 per
cent before the governments suit the
statement says:
Many independent Companies.
1T is a matter of common knowl-
edge that during the past few years a
great number of new oil companies
have been organized in this country
and have invested hundreds of mil
lions of dollars. The commission does
not suggest that any practice savoring
of unfair competition on the part of
the. former Standard Oil companies
has restrained in any way the free
and unhampercd growth and success
of these new or any old companies.
The fact is that the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey has scrup-
ulously obeyed the decree in the disso-
luton suit as affirmed by the supreme
court Our observance of the decree
has been under the constant super
vision of the department of justice and
it has made NO complaint against US.
The commission does not intimate that
any practice or policy of this company
is at variance either with the law or
that decree
The statement says that the COM
pany has maintained that gasoline
price increases have been based on
supply and demand and asserts that

FEEDING SILAGE TO POULTRY
Splendid Results Obtained In Wiseon
sin-Average Run Is Recon-
mended by Expert.

The secretary Of the Wisconsin
Poultry association advises that silage
made from corn is being fed to poultry
in that state with splendid results.
We have seen the busy little hen drop
ping into the pit silo, and we have
failed to see one that had learned
that trick that did not have a splendid
red comb. That red comb, of course,
meant eggs.
Mr.. Halpin, the secretary, says that
the only trouble with feeding silage is
that too many select for the poultry
the silage that has the most corn in
1t. He recommends giving them the
average run rather than that with too
much grain in it, because the latter
makes them too fat. There is no ques-
ton but that silage is going to be used
more largely in feeding poultry.-Da-

SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE
Should Be Omitted From Orchards
Free From Pest-Grower Should
Inspect Trees Carefully.

(By T. J. TALBERT. Missouri College of
Agriculture)
Many fruit growers in Missouri have
been applying dormant spray every
winter In orchards which are not in
tested with San Jose scale. The dor
mant spray should be omitted in or
chards free from San Jose scale. This
spray, If properly made, does the or
chard no injury but the benefits to be
derived from it do not Justify the ex-
pense Of making the spray unless the
trees are infested with San Jose
scale.
Every fruit grower should inspect
his trees carefully this winter to see If
San Jose scale is present. If the scale
Is found and the trees are badly in
tested, they should be sprayed thor
Oughly this winter and again next
spring, just before growth starts.
Where the trees are not badly infest-
ed, only one spraying is necessary, and
the best time for the application is in
the spring.
Commercial lime sulphur or scale
eide may be used for the control of
San Jose scale. The lime sulphur has
the preference for use because it is
the cheapest and it is fungiclde as
well as an insecticide. 1t should be
used at a strength of l to 7 while
the scalecide or oil preparation should
be used at n strength of about l to u.
If you do not know San Jose scale,
and suspect its presence in your or
chard send twigs or bark from the af-
fected trees to the Missouri College
of Agriculture, Columbia, Mo-, for
Identification.

Gapeworms Attach Themselves to
Trachea or Windpipe.

batting any disease is to adopt and
persist in some reliable means of pre-
vention. There is cause for all all
ments. Unless you remove the cause
you cannot cure the disease. If the
cause Is removable, q serious outbreak
of the disease can be prevented by
proper hygienic and sanitary measures
which make the cause much less liable
to appear, or, If the measures adopted
are sufficiently thorough, the cause
may be prevented from putting in an
appearance. Gapes is caused by the
small red worms and their progeny.
Satisfactory Treatment.
The most satisfactory treatment Is
prevention of contagion, combined with
extraction Of the worms from the in
fected chicks. All sick birds should
be removed to quarters apart from the
well ones. All coops and runs where
infected birds have been should be
thoroughly disinfected. The coops
should have a thorough application of
hot whitewash. The ground of runs
should be well lined with air-slacked
lime, spaded up, and should be sprin-
kled with one of the following solu-
tions: A two per cent solution of sui
phuric acid in water or two ounces of
copperas (sulphate of iron) dissolved
in u bucket of water; or solution Of
permangnnate Of potassium in water
half an ounce of the crystals in bar
rel of water; or strong solution of
creolin, two tablespoonfuls in each gal
Ion of water.
The ground should be well sprinkled
with one of the above solutions after
infected chicks have been removed.
Then plow or spade and sprinkle again.
Repeat this disinfection whenever in
fected chicks have been running on
the ground. Scald all drinking ves-
sells used by sick birds and be sure
that the water used is boiling. If
there are many earthworms and slugs
in the ground which has been occu-
pied by chicks with gapes, get rid of
the worms with one of the patented
worm exterminators sold by nearly
all seedsmen. Always burn all chicks
which die Of the gapes, and whenever
you find gapeworms, or extract them
from sick chicks, be sure to burn the
worms. Disinfect all droppings.
Earthworms do not cause gapes, but
may be contaminated with the eggs or
embryonic gapeworms and so become
a source of infection in ground where
the disease has existed.
A small piece of copperas placed
in the drinking water is said to pre-
vent contagion. Tincture of asafetida,
teaspoonful in quart of water, is
used for the same purpose, and is said
to have curative action. Three
drachms of salicylate Of soda in
quart of drinking water is also
recommended as a preventive.

with his hands behind his back and
prepared to watch the progress Of the
work. He asked no questions and Of
fered no comments, but his face wore
a friendly smile. After a time. having
apparently grown tired of standing, he
