DEATH AMONG YOUNG CHICKS
Connecticut Station Recommends th«
Use of Skim Milk as Best Pre-
ventive of Disease.
(By N. E. CHATMAN, Poultry Specialist
University Farm. St. Paul, Minn.)
One of the main causes of death
among chicks Is white diarrhea. This
Is very prevalent and investigations
have shown conclusively that the orig-
inal source Is often from parent stock
Many chicks have the disease when
hatched, and others contract it from
them, through feed and forage in in-
fected litter or grounds. This trans-
mission from chick to chick is com-
mon during the first three or four days,
and this is the period of great danger,
especially among chicks of low vital-
ity.
The symptoms are a whitish dis- j
charge from the vent, which results
in "pasting up behind.” The chicks
become listless and sleepy, lose appe-
tite, the feathers become ruffled,
breathing labored, and they constantly
peep or chirp. They may die suddenly
or gradually waste away.
This disease is being most carefully
Investigated by the agricultural exper-
iment station at Storrs, Conn., and the
third report of their investigations has
been published. This report recom-
mends the feeding of sour milk as the
best thing to use for a preventive of
this disease. It advocates feeding
sour milk from the very first and keep-
ing it before the chicks constantly.
The acidity of the milk acts as a germ-
icide. Moreover, the milk is an ani-
mal product which chicks require in
some form and it is a great factor in
the growth and vigor of the young
flock. Of course the commercial chick
feedB' now so common are fed and
pure water supplied, but in addition
sour milk is kept before the chicks
constantly, the vessels being cleaned
and refilled daily during the first few
weeks.
Farmers and poultry raisers should
feed sour skim milk constantly, at
least after chicks are a few days old,
as a preventive of this dread disease,
and to stimulate their growth. It also
increases egg production in the laying
flock. Numerous experiments have
demonstrated that skim milk and
curds, or cottage cheese, are among
the most stimulating feeds for poultry
of all kinds, except very young chicks.
Many claim that sweet milk is much
safer until the chicks are at least a
week or ten days old. There is a con-
stant supply on nearly every farm and
it should be universally used for the
farm flock.
1 EFFICIENCY OF A FIREFLY
1 Artificial llluminant Very Poor Second
to That of the Natural
Organisms.
It is sometimes said that if we could
arrive at the secret of the firefly—or
of the other organisms which produce
| physiologic light—we should have
| reached a great economic discovery,
j because the light has such an extraor-
dinary high efficiency. In other words,
j all the energy expended in producing
' it goes to make light, and not heat,
j The efficiency has been estimated at
! 96 per cent by Ives and~Coblentz, and
even higher by Langley and Very.
This is the more remarkable when it
is considered that the best artificial
llluminant has a luminous efficiency of
only 4 per cent, and most of them
reach only about 1 per cent, the re-
maining 99 per cent of the energy go-
ing to produce heat or other subordi-
nate effects. But even if we should
discover the means by which the fire-
fly produces its light we should
scarcely care to use it in our homes.
Professor McDermott in a recent study
of the subject observes that while the
Insect has Indeed reached the highest
possible radiant efficiency is has only
accomplished it at a sacrifice of color
that makes the light much worse than
the mercury vapor arc. Anything not
within a very limited range of yellow
and green tones would appear black.
OF COURSE HE GOT AWAY
Young Man Pulled Off Something
Really New, and His Reward
Was Adequate.
"Please, Mister Jones, can I get off
Tuesday?” said the young male em-
ploye, only more rapidly.
“Which of your relatives is dead?”
Inquired the boss.
] "Not any, sir,” replied the lad with
a politeness which exists only In fic-
I tion.
"Which of your teeth are you going
to have pulled?”
“Not any, sir,” replied the lad, etc.
"Which of your sisters is getting
married?”
“Nat any, sir,” etc.
“The fact is,” continued the youth,
! “I would like to go to the ball game,
and, my desire being genuine, I would
not hazard any chances by trying to
pull a rotten old excuse on a foxy busi-
ness man. Thank you, sir.”

Smooth-Faced Wisdom.
President Wilson is the first “bare-
faced” occupant of the White House
since President McKinley. Indeed,
these have been the only smooth-
faced presidents since the Civil war.
The faces of the most conspicuous
members of the cabinet are whisker-
less, as is the mobile countenance of
the speaker of the house. The sen-
sible fashion is especially noticeable
in the medical profession, owing to
the fact that formerly its members re-
garded whiskers as an indispensable
part of their equipment, on a par with
the stethoscope and clinical thermom-
eter and odor of carbolic acid. The
idea then was, of course, to look old.
Now they try to appear young. Other
business and professional men are fol-
lowing the example of the doctors,
much to the gratification of the bar-
bers and razor Manufacturers. It is
not likely that we shall soon again see
the day when whiskers cover a multi-
tude of chins.

Coop With Movable Roof.
the Orange Judd Farmer. They should
be surmounted around the top by a
straight sill on which the roof frame
Is to slide back and forth, supported
on rollers, if large.
The roof is hinged at the apex so
as to be lifted and held up by sup,
ports shown at a. These supports
when not in use hang down on the
outside of the coop. Beneath the roof
at one end is wire netting and at the
other cloth, such as burlap. Thus any
amount of ventilation can be secured
at will.
Distribute the Fowls.
Farm poultry is too often allowed
to run in one large flock. The
chicks cannot be fed properly, and
are almost sure to become infested
with lice from the other fowls. Often
ducks, geese, chickens and turkeys
are all turned together to fight for
supremacy. The more the fowls are
distributed over the farm In summer
the more productive they will bo.

SUCCEEDS IN CANADA
An Interesting and successful Ameri-
can farmer, Lew Palmer, of Staveley,
Alta., passed through the city today.
Mr. Palmer came from Duluth, Minn.,
Just ten years ago, and brought with
him four cows and three horses and
that whs his all. He homesteaded In
the Staveley district, and today has
480 acres of land. $3,000 wprth of Im-
plements, 34 Percheron horses, made
$1,000 out of hogs last year, raised
7,000 bushels of wheat, 6,000 bushels
of oats, 12 acres of potatoes, and 18
tons of onions. His farm and stock Is
worth $30,000, and he made It all In
ten years.—Exchange.—Advertisement.
Little Danger.
“Do you believe that money has
germs on It?”
“It may have.”
“What In the world shall we do?"
“Don’t worry; It would take a
mighty active germ to hop from the
money to you during the short time
you keep what you get.”
Three Flights Up.
“Still living In that antiquated flat
you occupied ten years ago, eh?”
“Yes, it’s the same old story.”
Many a man who strives to emulate
the busy bee only succeeds in getting
stung. _
Earliest Arc Lights.
A recent historical exhibit of arc
lamps and electricity In Cleveland, O.,
has brought out a bit of interesting
history In connection with the pioneer
arc lamp system built by C. F. Brush.
The first demonstration of these lamps
was made In the public .square of
Cleveland during the summer of 1876,
and afterward In the fall of the same
year the apparatus was set up at the
centennial exposition at Philadelphia.
The exhibit at Cleveland was exten-
sively advertised In the newspapers,
and on the evening the demonstration
took place thousands of people assem-
bled, most of whom carried pieces of
smoked or colored glass to protect
their eyes from the arc lamp’s rays,
which were expected to rival those of
the sun.—Electrical World.
Cubist Art.
“What are you painting from a soap
box?”
“I am using a soap box as a model,”
answered the cubist with dignity, “but
the subject of the painting Is a young
girl standing by a brook.”
It's easier for a young man to make
love to a girl than for him to make a
living for her.
