INJURE. POULTRY Easier to Prevent Enemies of Farm Fowis Than to Get Rid ofs Any of Them. GAPE WORM IS TROUBLESOME i Slow Suffocation Follows Where Young Birds Are Attacked by These Para. sites — Tape Worms Also Cause of Suffering. Gape worms, round worms, tape- worms and flukes are the principal in- | /. ternal enemies of farm poultry. It is {1 | much easier to prevent all of them than #t is to get rid of any one of them, E.oly summer and late spring are the times when gape worms give the most trouble. As soon as the frosts are well out of the ground and there s no more danger of freezing the gape worms become active. Just where and how they spend the winter is not known, but they make their appear- ance with singular regularity following a few warm or hot days. Gapes simply means the slow suffo- cation of ‘the young birds that are at- Dry, Well Ventilated and Lighted Houses Promote Health in the Farm Flock. tacked by these parasites. When a number of these worms get into the windpipe and become swollen with blood breathing becomes difficult and even impossible. Gaping, the charac- teristic. symptom of the gapes, is the natural result of this choking. . Other Symptoms. There are other symptoms, of course. Some of these are the shaking of the head, the contracting and the exten- sion of the neck, the drooping of the wings and a pecullar staggering gait, doubtless caused by the choking and the exhaustion of the chicks. Once in a great while gaping will be caused by a touch of bronchitis, but as a rule it is associated only with the attacks of the tiny reddish worms that . fasten themselves in the chicks’ trachea. They not only choke the chicks, but they cause an irritation that leads to inflammation of the lin- ing of the air passages. Weak chicks, attacked by gape worms, will die nine times out of ten, as it is very hard .to relieve them. The strong chicks may have vitality enough to overcome the trouble, but they will lose in growth. The worms are sometimes extract- ed from the upper throat by means of a looped horse hair. This is a tedious operation and hardly worth while when there are many chicks to be looked after. The best plan is to iso- late the sufferers and move the re- mainder away from the ground where they have been feeding. Forcing the chicks-to breathe lime dust, fine, dry air-slaked lime, will force the worms to loosen their hold on the air pas- sages. As a rule, though, the chicks are hardly strong enough to stand such measures. Other Harmful Worms. In older birds the tapeworms and round worms cause some losses. The round worm is a cylindrical, smooth parasite, tapering at both the front and the rear, but the front is more pointed than the rear. They are in- testinal parasites, bloodsuckers and devourers of the nourishment needed \ by the growing bird or the laying hen. When very’ numerous they canse a diarchea or in some instances a stop- page of the intestines. The remedy is two grains of san- tonin for each bird, dissolved in the drinking water or mixed In and fed' with a mash. The round worm fis white in coloring and may vary from one-third of an inch to five inches in length. Now and again serious outbreaks of the tapeworm In poultry are reported from various parts of the country. The chief remedies used for tapeworm in fowls are extract of the male fern, turpentine, pumpkin seeds, the areca hut and Epsom salts. & DISPOSE OF EARLY MOLTERS Easiest and Surest Way of Culling Out Poor Hens—Seldom Frove Winter Layers. Perhaps the easiest and surest way of culling out the poor lens is to dis- card the early molters. Contrary to populze opinion, the hens that molt early are seldom good fall and winter layers, Riley swimmin’ hole. Yearly Pilgrimage to Riley’s “0ld Swimmih’ Hole” ENVER.—J. A. Slifer, 1611 Court place, is back from his annual pilgrim- age to “The Old Swimmin' Hole"—the old original James Whitcomb “It was in 1859, when I was bnt a mere lad, that my father purchased a strip of farm land adjoining the town of Greenfield, Ind. Through this strip of 1dnd ran a small creek called Brandywine, and it was this swimming place which Mr. Riley eulogized in his poem,” Mr. Slifer said. “Well do I remember one particu- lar swim. It was in the warm spring days when the swimming hole was call- ing to the country lads, but father had a fleld of corn which needed attention. In the midst of the hoeing of the corn along came Jim Riley, and after much persuasion induced my brother and myself to go swimming. We did, and we tarried just a wee bit too long in the water, for father discovered his field of unhoed corn and--but what's the use of recalling unpleasant memories? For there are so many pleasant ones associated with Riley, and besides Jim took his share of the blame and punishment. “You know James Whitcomb Riley was a man of note in the community where he lived long before he became a recognized poet,” he sald. “It was as a sign painter, however, not as a writer. In Greenfield today there hangs a sign which bears the signature of James Whitcomb Riley, painted more than 45 years ugo.” My Slifer says that there is an old colored barber, George L. Knox by name, now living in Greenfleld, who furnished the moncy with which Riley made his first tour to country schoolhouses reciting his verses. “In those days I remember the wealthier squires of that district criticized ‘*te harber because they doubted the genius and ability of the Hoosier youth ™ e SRR NEW REPUBLICS IN EUROPE Ten Have Come Into Existence as a Result of the Changes Brougnt About by War.

Those whom fate has condemned to wear spectacles may have some difficulty in believing that anyome could regard these articles as orna- ments, to be worn with pride and pleasure. This, however, remarks a writer in the Continental edition of the London Mail, is nevertheless the case with many of the Senegalese soldiers who fought in the war. While on leave in Paris.on their way home, many of these gallant warriors have invested in spectacles as the surcst means of impressing their compatriots. An optician relates that when he tried to sell a pair of spectacles with plain glass to a Senegalese whose sight was obviously excellent, the soldier complained that they were no good because they did not “make everything look funny.” The op- tician immediately supplied the sol- dier with a pair of concave lenses that would have done very well for a short-sighted student. The customer was satisfied at once, paid, and went | out, colliding on the way with vari- ous pieces of furniture. MADE 'EM GIGGLE. Upon entering the elevator the other morning in a loop office build- ing where I am employed I noticed a pretty girl and was looking at her | and thinking how pretty she was| when_ I suddenly realized I must get’ @ off at the next floor and called out “six, pretty.” The yoor eclevator man’s face turned red and every one in the elevator giggled, and I sure did make my getaway at No. 6. Now I go in at the other entrance of the building and never try to say “six, please.” I say just plain six. I never want a more embarrassing mo- ment.—Chicago Tribune. YOU CAN NEVER TELL. “That’s the jolliest drummer I've met in many a day.” “He certainly is the life of the party.” “A man of such high spirits is bound to be in a congenial line of business. By the way, do you know what he sells?” “Yes — coflins.” — Birmingham Age-Herald. DISCIPLINE DEMANDED. “Your boy threw a lump of coal at our cat.” “We’ll attend to his case! Not that we care anything about your cat, but no boy of mine is going to wasle coal in that manner.” MORE OF IT. “They say that a lot of people on the Mississippi river, to avoid pay- ing rent, are living in houseboats.” “But don’t they have to pay more water rent?” NOT FOR HIM. “Women are to be prevented from attempting homemade wine.” “I hope s0,” exclaimed Uncle Bill Bottletop. “I tasted some once.” HOW “TEXAS” GOT ITS NAME Mere Accident Responsible for Appel- lation Bestowed on Small Cabin on River Steamers. The texas on an American river boat is the little cabin joined up to, and gencrally a trifle lower than the pilothouse, and is the sleeping quar- ters for the pilots. How it got its name is told in “On the Ohio,” H. Bennett Abdy’s latest book. “Oh—that—well, it’s kinda inter- estin’ how that name got stuck onte it. You see, in the early days o’ steamboatin’ all the cabins was named after states—that’s where the name ‘stateroom’ comes from, see? Well, there was a bright young feller in the Mississippi country who had designed some right speedy boats, so when he got a contract to build an extra smart and fancy packet—the Kate Barnesdale was her name—he tried somethin’ new. It was a little deckhouse just behind the pilot—the idea being to provide more sleeping room for passengers. Well, he didn’t know what to name the new contrap- tion; but it so happened that the boat went into commission on the very day the state of Texas was ad- mitted into the Union; so the new cabin wes named the ‘texas.’” BELCHING Caused by Acid-Stomach Let EATONIGC, the wonderful modern stom- ach remedy, Evs you quick relief from dis gusflnu belching, food-repeating, .ndigestion, loated, gassy stomach, dyspepsia, heart- burn and otherstomach miseries.
