WHITE DIARRHEA. ' A Theory That Chilling Cause Thia DiiMM In Chicks. D. D. Cavanaugh of Chicago, HL, ' has the following la Reliable Poultry Journal : I am positively sure that there is but one thing that will cause white diar rhea among newly hatched 1 chicks. White diarrhea Is only contracted during the first week or ten days after hatching and is caused by the little newly hatched chick or poult being ' chilld after being hatched and before the" yolk which the chick draws Inside Just before breaking the shell is fully digested or absorbed. I have tried every known way to cause diarrhea in properly hatched and brooded chicks without success, and on the other hand I can cause any newly hatched chick to have diarrhea Just by chilling it the first two or three days. Feed, breeding stock, etc., have nothing to do in the case. If breeders would just discontinue the use of the nursery In the incubators and allow their chicks to become at least forty hours old be fore removing them to the brooders, the diarrhea would be a thing of the past I have had many arguments od this subject, but have always proved my claim. Chicks should be kept under the hen or on the egg tray of the machine, un til they are dry and strong. Never allow them iu the incubator nursery unless the nursery is heated to about 100 degrees three inches from the floor. A nursery that is cooler than 100 degrees is apt to chill the young sters, especially if the chicks are not dry. It is the same with the brood ers. See that the hover apartment is at least 100 degrees and the feed room about 75 or 80 degrees, and you can feed what you want without fear of the white diarrhea. If a chick gets chilled after it is ten days old, instead of diarrhea it will become stunted and seldom worth raising. White diarrhea is not contagious, as some persons think, and there is no cure for it except heat, and that is not sure. Red pepper Is a good thing for heating up older chicks that have be come chilled, and it will often save a few, but the very best treatment Is to prevent the trouble by warmth. The Duodecagonol Henhouse. W. D. Holterman, Fort Wayne, Ind., sayB: I prefer the house I now have. This house is practically round (twelve cornered), with yards radiating In the shape of a wheel in all directions. The diameter is forty-five feet. The feed room is in the center, fifteen feet in diameter. Over the feed room Is a dome which contains six windows for additional light and ventilation. Ev ery one of the twelve pens contains 120 square feet of surface and each has one four-light window. Reasons: Great saving in labor (feeding, watering, cleaning); more compact in every way; all birds under a person's eyes at once; in center so that birds will not freeze their combs; appearance of such a building is more artistic than the oth ers. Beyer's Philosophy. Uncle Michael K. Boyer has the fol lowing bits of philosophy in the Farm Journal: All the world loves the egg maker. A few neglects iu the poultry yard are apt to upset the profits. It is bad economy to cut down the quality of the feed. Poor food is wasteful. Each llock has good, bad and indiffer ent layers. It will pay to cull out the unprofitable ones. The first year the beginner thinks he knows it all; five years after that he finds that he was mistaken. Trouble promptly investigated gen erally leads ou to a remedy. Don't fold your arms and sigh that It is "just your luck." Rhode Island Reds. Standard weights for Rhode Island llotls are: Cock, S'o pounds; cockerel, 7'j pounds; hen.. 01 pounds; pullet, 5 pounds. The color should be a rich brilliant red except where black is called for. Males should have black tails, lower web of primaries black, up per wob of secondaries black, flight coverts black; females, surface color red with black tail, the two top feath ers of which may be edged with red; lower web of primary wing feathers black, upper webs of secondaries black, wing coverts black. Lower hackle feathers should have black tips. Look Out For Showers. The weuned chicks that have no mother to lead them to a safe refuge sometimes get bewildered when a sud den shower comes up and if not looked after before the storm may lie found after the worst is over huddled up iu the grass, shivering, chattering, some apparently dead. But the warmth of the kitchen stove brings them back to life, and iu a little while they are as "good as new." The "Strain," Not the Breed. No breed or variety can justly be called "egg machines," but a "strain" of any breed or variety that has been bred solely with the purpose to build p the strength, vigor and laying qual ity will be better layers than any stock which has been njisbred or bred solely to develop show qualities. That ap plies to all stock, not at all to any one breed or variety. Turkeys and Green Grain. Ton didn't know there was danger of the young turkeys gorging themselves with too much green oats or wheat: now,' did you? asks Fanny Wood in Farm Journal. Green grain of any kind, eaten too liberally, will cause young turkeys to droop and finally die with trouble similar to cholera. When the grain is ripe, there is not a bit of danger of their eating too much. AT, SILO, TIME. - Corn Should1 Not Be Too Groan Cat ting and Putting It Up. -Many people make the mistake of catting corn too green for silage. At this stage there is a larger percentage of water, and the silage, when taken out has a large amount of acid, less starch and sugar and hence is less nu tritious. . Corn planted In drills .with stalks ' eight to ten inches apart will mature a good proportion of ears. f Harvesting should not begin until the ears are passing the roasting stage and begin to glaze. Unless the season p3 'exceptionally" dry the stalks and leaves will remain green, but too ma ture or dry corn is more liable to mold. This may be found In spots around the sides or more generally over the silo wherever the air has gained access to cause the fungous growth.' This condi tion may be Improved by tramping the material carefully in the silo,' adding water by sprinkling with a hose, or if this is not available direct a stream of water into the blower or elevator suf ficient to saturate the cut fodder. This moisture assists the material to settle and acts as a seal to keep out the air. - There should be labor and teams enough to keep the cutter running steadily. Nothing is gained by cutting a large amount of corn beforehand, hauling and piling near the machine to be handled over again. Aim to har vest at the least expense a ton. This will be accomplished as follows: If hand cutting is practiced, cut and hand directly to the man loading, not throw ing on the ground in bundles, which will require an extra handling. Let each load come to the table of the ma chine In turn, handing the corn direct ly to the feeder. If the corn is long and heavy an extra man is needed on the table to assist Power should be ample and in pro portion to the size of the cutter. The blower is replacing the elevator ma chine, economizing space and largely doing' away with the stopping of an entire crew to repair the elevator. If the corn is heavy and the stalk large cutting In half inch to one inch pieces FILLING THE SILO. will have the tendency to partially shred the stalk, and there will be no butts refused by the animals. The material in the silo should be kept level and well trampled, especial ly around the sides of the silo, and it pays to have sufficient help for this work. Where considerable silage is put up it pays to have a corn harvest er and binder, which economizes hand labot. The foregoing timely advice Is given by Dr. G. A. Billings in American Ag riculturist, and the cut shows part of the outfit used at the New Jersey ex periment station In filling the silo for fall and winter feed. The source of power for running the cutter and blow er is a gasoline engine, which gives very great satisfaction. The Popular Cantaloupe. Scarcely any branch of horticultural work has increased of late years like the growing of cantaloupes. All mar kets handle them and are glad to ex tend their season by getting early and late supplies from all sections .of the country. Many varieties of melons and cantaloupes were formerly seen in our markets, but present requirements have banished almost all but the Net- led Gem, or. as it is popularly known today, the Rocky Ford. This canta loupe, besides possessing the finest tex ture and highest flavor, is almost round and is thus easily packed. Recent seed selection in this strain has produced a very fine fruit, heavily netted, reg ular in form and weighing about a pound each. W. N. Hutt. Utilizing Skim Milk. There are many fruit farms on which the flock of fowls is becoming every year a large factor. The by products of these are utilized to some extent for the poultry, but not so much as the byproducts of the dairy farm. There is no better way of util izing skim milk than by feeding to poultry, suggests Kansas Farmer. When this skim milk is allowed to sour and is made into curd for the fowls it is still more extensively available. There is no byproduct that need go to waste when you have plen ty of chickens around. They are the scavengers of the farm and make lots of waste material Into good fresh eggs. Varieties of Oats. As an average for two trials, 1905' and 1906, the varieties producing the highest yields at the Kansas experi ment station were the Red Texas, 54.37 bushels; Silverine, 52.1S bushels; White Tartar, 51.97 bushels; Danish, 4S.03 bushels; Kherson, 47.27 bushels; Sixty-day, 46.75 bushels; Minnesota No. 202. 40.57 bushels, and Swedish Select, 45.16 bushels per acre respec tively. The season of 1905 was espe cially favorable for the production oj oats. FEEDING HOGS. H FOR THE LITTLE;' ONES.

There th 0thers nlavers are called sheen. is no doubt that animals as well as human beings are often killed by pto maine poisoning. Avoid Rotten Swill. Rotten swill tit unfit for hogs as cer- their hogs whey brought from the cheese factory. Often, as factory men know, the whey tanks are very dirty, not having been cleaned perhaps for months. The fanners who use this whey should make such a vigorous protest against dirty tanks that the factory men will see that they are cleaned often. Some of the factories do not even have tanks, but have a row of. barrels near the factory buildings, into which the whey is run. These are allowed to become almost putrid in the hot sun of summer. They swarm with flies, which may have, been visiting the car casses of dead hogs in the pastures of adjoining farms. Sometimes these hogs have died of cholera and some times of other contagious diseases. It is not a difficult matter to clean bar rels often, and this should be done. It is all the easier to do if the cheese factory has a steam pipe from which a hose can conduct the steam Into the barrels. ! Protection Against Disease. If disease is to be kept off the farm, food of the hogs must be carefully watched, at least in summer. The matter is not so important In winter, as the flies are not carrying germs from one place to another, and con tageous diseases will not spread with the same rapidity. Animals take in disease . germs mostly through their respiratory organs or through the or gans devoted to the elaboration of food. If the food is protected, much will be gained In the way of protection against disease. THE HOUSEMAN. Young foals that are stabled with, their dams during cold rainstorms will thrive much better than those which are not so protected. The idea that exposure to inclement weather makes a foal 'hardy is fallacious. Too Much Hay. One fault with most horse owners is the feeding of too much hay. A horse will eat more than is necessary, and, owing to the smallness of his stomach, the partially digested hay is crowded on into the intestines. About three fourths of a pound of hay per hundred pounds weight of the horse should be fed per day, advises an authority who maes this criticism. Watering After Hard Work. Watering your horse after hard work, when heated 'or exhausted, should be done carefully. Horses, dif fer as men differ; some know when they have had enough and some do not. Let them drink frequently, but not too much. Feet of the Draft Horse. The feet of the draft horse should be large, rouud, wide at the hoof head, not too shallow or too high iu the heels, and, above all, constructed of a good, dense horn, which indicates abil ity to wear well. Greasing the Feet. Greasing is necessary for horses which are much exposed to dampness and is as good for the sole and frog as for the wall. It is applicable also to feet which have to. stand on dry bedding. Feet which, on account of diseased conditions, require to be fre quently soaked or poulticed ought also to be greased. Bedding of peat moss pud fine .sawdust, equal parts, is most excellent. All these- measures may be advantageous if the feet are properly shod. C. R. Wood, V. S. Horse Sense. The good habit horse can be spoiled by the bad habit man. With the team it's spare the curry comb and spoil the coat. The slovenly driving horse is the product of a careless driver. You may feed a horse corn to make him fat, but oats are what give him life. Keep constantly a good sized lump of rock salt in the feed box for the horse to nibble at pleasure. It will then take just as much as its appetite craves and no more than is needful. Protein and Its Sources. Protein is the nitrogenous part of feeds and is by far the most valuable of the different groups of nutrients. Its characteristic element is nitrogen. The white of egg is almost pure pro tein. Cottonseed meal and linseed meal are very rich in protein, and so are leguminous hays, such as clover, alfalfa and cowpea hay. John Michels. A Dry Barnyard Have the barnyard well drained. It will be much better for your stock, and it will be economy to have it drained on to a field that can be cul tivated. Such a plan enables you to raise a prolific early forage crop by sowing corn near the yard., advises Kimball's Dairy Farmer. A ring is then formed by the sheep, the wolf standing in the mid dle, i The sheep then call out, "What time will you dine tonight, old wolf?" and Mr. "Wolf calls out any hour he happens to think of. j The sheep then who holds the slip I corresponding to the number called j by the wolf starts to run. If he can eet around the ring three times before beLnr causrht by the wolf he is safe'; if not, he must be wolf. The game keeps up until all have had their turn at being wolf, and this does not take long, for the wolf j is not supposed to call the same number twice. Hide and Seek In Groups. Any group of four or more play ers can have great fun in the woods or where there are tall grass and other objects to' hide behind. First two leaders are chosen by any of the usual counting out methods, and these two leaders choose sides. Then there is a toss up to see which side is "it" first. The players on this side all hide their eyes and count together out loud up to, say 300. Meanwhile the players on the other side hasten away in a group and hide as completely as possible. Then the search begins. When any one of the hunting party dis covers the hiding group a great shout or warwhoop is raised, and that side has to count while the other side hides. It should be agreed that certain limits or boun daries are not to- be crossed. Where the woods are thick or where there is plenty of underbrush the sport is fine. division of Labor.

He continues "in Helonias we haveamediea ment which' more fully answers the above purposes than any other drug with which I am acquainted. In the treatment of diseases pe culiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some indication for this remedial agent." Dr. Fyfe further says: " The following are among the leading indications for Helonias (Unicorn root). .

It Is universally regarded as Uie tonic useful in all debilitated states." Prof. K. ?artholow, M.
