D. J. LAMBERT, Rhode Island Experiment Station. Gapes is a parasitic disease which afflicts nearly all kinds of domestic poultry, espectally the young and the weaklings. The gapeworms are of various sizes, not over one-half inch in length, and appear to be of forked shape. In reality this is a pair, larzer part being the female and thel smaller or branch the male. These in combination attach them- selves to the lining or mucous mem- brane of the trachea by a disk shaped suckling mouth and live on the blood of their vietims, gradually weakening “them :nd finally strangling them to death. The symptoms are general las- situde, loss of appetite, drooping wings | 2d difficult breathing. vices and inventions for extracting the gape-worms. One is a horsehair looped through a small metal tube. Anoiher and perhaps the most effec ual is a long stiff feathér tip. This dipped in turpentine and insertes carefully down the trachea, then rap. idly twirled and then immediately withdrawn, will often dislodge the worms and sometimes save the chick. Another Mode of Treatment. Another mode of treatment is to con fine the afilicted birds in a box or bar- rel, having the open part upward; cover the opening with coarse cloth or sacking and then sift in some pulver- ized tobaco dust or snuff. This treat- ment causes the chicks to sneeze and expectcrate and if they are strovg and vigorous to cough up the worms. As a preventive of contagion the in- fected birds should be promptly sepa- rated from the well. All dead birds stould be burned or buried deep in the ground. The soil in poultry yards and | runs should be plowed or spaded up frequently and exposed to the sun and | air. Air slaked or carbonated should be applied to the ground used for poultry runs, whether it is often turned over or not. Sprinkling the surface with a 2 per cent solution of sulphuric acid will tend to destroy the arasites and also earthworms, which suspected as being carriers are gape-worms. The drinking vessels should be kepf clean by s ing and refilling fre quently. A smali amount of perman. ganate of potash added to the water, just enough to tint it a light wine color, that source. As in all diseases, ventive methods are the best. pre- FOR SHEEP How and What to Feed Them. MUMFORD. University GROWING CRZ)PS . Dean and of Mo. * No class of live stock ¢ a farm so < domestic sheep.

By following this Totation there are each year forty acres corn, twenty acres rye, twenty acres clover ‘to be harvested ‘for winter and fall feeding. ‘Cowpeas are planted in corn either at time of planting or at last cultivation or corn. Clover is seeded on rye in February each year except in certain districts where clover is better sown during March. This rotation does not provide enough, summer pasture for a ewe flock, so the remaining twenty acres are divided by temporary fences into five acre lots. Here the cropping system is as follows: First year, Second year. | Rape and oats. Corn and rye. Soy beans. Rape and oats. Corn and rve, Rye pasture. Rye pasture. Soy beans. Third year.

Their Number Increages Among Hens in Storrs Contest. Several interesting developments are reported for the 29th week of the in- ternational egg laving contest at Storrs. In the first place, 51 individ- uals, including Plymouth Rocks, W andottes, R. 1. Reds, Leghorns, Orping- tons, Campines and “hens,” produced seven eggs each during the week. This is double the number of all-the-week layers previously reported in any ome week. these birds was a three vear old Rhode Island Red owned by C. S. Scoville of New Haven. Such heavy production expected of a few of the pullets, but old hens are more likely to | rest on their laurels. It was noted last week that the eight best pens were all Leghorns, and his- tory repeats itself in the 29th week. By some strange coincidence the two pens that tied for first place, Viz., Charles Héwi, Rocky River, O. and Tom Barron of England, have their birds quartered in the same house. Their record was 61 eggs each. The| remaining six of these eight best pens are, in their order, Wolverine Poultry Farm, Grand Rapids, Mich., Buff Leg- horns, 59 eggs: Braeside Poultry Farm, Stroudsburg, Pa, came third with 58 ezgs: Francis F. Lincoln, Mt. Carmel, | €onn., and George A. Cosgrove, West | Willington, Conn.. tied for next place with 57 eggs each: Mrs. K. E. Wood- | ruff_of New Haven and P. G. Platt, Wallingford, Pa., tied for next place with 56 eggs each. The total yield for the week amount- { ed to 3,618, or a loss of 31 eggs. This loss, however, at this season of the year, amounting as it does to less than 1 per cent. of last week's vield, is con- sidered insignificant. American White Leghorns Gain. Gnly slight changes occurred in the ten leading pens for the week, but some of these seem to be significant. For instance, the American White Leg- horns occupying second place gained {on the pen of English White Wyan- dottes that are leading and it now looks as if they will prove formidable contenders for first place before the contest ends. The pen of White Wyan- dottes from Rhode Island occupying fourth place gained 16 egegs on the Connecticut pen just ahead of them. The English pen of White Le; while stilf in seventh place, will un-| doubtedly ‘move up to sixth place next week, and probably to fifth place ea.rly in June. A. B. Brundage’s _pen Rhode Island Reds from D-.nbury.
