FOR 1HE POULTRY
GROWER )

"Aspergillosis" is the name of
disease that is fatal to chickens, and
is the result of feeding moldy grain,
writes Frank L. Pratt, extension poul-
try husbandmsn, United States depart
ment of agriculture.
It is especially important that the
farmers and poultry keepers should
protect their chickens by giving them
as sound and sweet corn as possible.
There is practically no cure for this
disease. As the disease develops there
is a fever, diarrhea, dropping wings,
great depression, suffocation and
death. The symptoms are similar to
those of tuberculosis, and aspergiilosis
and tuberculosis are both cases of
what practical poultrymen often term
'tgoing light" :. So. ...r g
The spores of aspergillosis are usu-
ally introduced by moldy grain or feed
ing the grain in moldy filters of straw.
The fungus most frequently develops
in the respiratory system, mouth and
lungs. To prevent it, feed sound,
sweet grain. Moldy corn is particu-
larry dangerous. 3..s+. ..!sy~<

TWo-Year-0Id Tot Can Read,
Count and Tell Time Of Day

A tiny two-year-old baby girl in Cal
ifornia holds the worlds record in
mental development. The infant prod
ICY is Martha Springer, twenty-six
months old, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John E.. Springer Of Mountain View.
The child can read like an eight-year-
old, according to a correspondent. The
father says the child has a normal
mind, which simply has been devel-
oped by persistent training. At a re-
cent meeting Of college professors and
experts in pedagogy and psychology
the child for 40 minutes read, count
ed and told the time by clock and talk
ed with the men who were observ-
ing her. Her baby brain did not sag.
and she appeared to enjoy the long in
terview. All were unanimous In de-
claring that the baby's case indicates
that geniuses are made, not born.
The child reads and speaks with a
vocabulary Of about 1000 words. She
is large for her age and eats md
sleeps well. b.

Bones of NapoIeon's Heroes
. Paid Homage by French Poilus

An interesting ceremony was held re-
Gently at Rivoli, in the province Of We
roma, Italy. There, on January IA,
1877, Bonaparte won great victory
largely through the skillful use of his
artillery. So it was only natural that
in 1918 the French expeditionary force
in Italy should choose the battlefield
Of Rivoli for its artillery training
school. When the ground was being
prepared for this purpose the bones Of
eight soldiers Of Bonaparte's army
were discovered and identified by their
buttons as grenadiers Of the guard.
Their remains were solemnly inferred
ut the foot of the monument of the
battle of Rivoli, a detachment Of
French poilus rendering the last hon.
age to their predecessors of 121 years
ago. ,- 49, 4 b..

New Erie Canal, $40 Miles
Long, From Troy to Buffalo

The new Erie canal extends across
New York state from Troy to Buffalo,
q distance of $40 miles. From Troy 1t
follows the line Of the Hudson river to
Waterford. Turning west 1t follows
the line of the Mohawk river to q point
beyond Little Falls. West Of this point
1t follows the route Of the old canal,
but passes north Of Utica on q new
line, thence south Of Rome and through
Oneida lake. From there 1t follows the
Oneida river to the Seneca river at
Three River point, and ON through the
Clyde river to point east Of Lyons.
From there the old canal route Is fol-
lowed beyond Pittsford. Here the
channel leaves the old route, crosses
the Genesee river about a mile south
of Rochester, joins the line Of the old
canal few miles west and continues
through the old channel to and through
Tonawania creek to Tonawanda on the
NIAGARA river, which is followed to

Signs Forbidding Peasants
From Taking Potatoes, Plan
To Induce Eating of Tubers

Although potatoes were early intro
duced into Europe by the Spaniards,
they did not come in quantity for many
years. The English found them in Vir-
ginia, but it is believed that the Span
iards brought them to that colony from
further south. t.S s12s-
The first attempt to Introduce them
into France was due to well-known
scientific authority named Parmentier.
This was in the seventeenth century,
says Popular Science Monthly. He i'm
ported some df the plants, set them out
in field near Paris, and by means Of
learned pamphlets and talk with the
people tried to have the new vegetable
brought into cultivation and the mar
ket. .4~Ss
But it was all in vain. Potatoes did
not prove attractive, and when the
planted ones matured it seemed that
they would rot in the ground on &C.
count of the prejudice against them.
Then some wise man who knew hui
man nature-a student of psychology,
with practical ideas-suggested that
peasants could not be made to try
potatoes by persuasion, but might be
led to adopt them II they were forbid
den to eat them. ':%F~.
His idea was adopted. Many signs
were painted and erected in plain sight,
forbidding. under severe penalties any
one from taking any potatoes from
the field. &f
The peasants Mt once began to raid
the hills, and before long most Of the
ripe tubers were stolen and eaten with
relish. /
