REMEDY FOR GAPES. It Is Always Effective nuchun Be Applied \Vlt-hoat Dangei': to the Youngest. Birds. 1’ There are several remedies for gapes, but the difficulty is that some; difiiculty occurs mostly on farms upon which fowls have been kept for years. It is caused by acollection of small, threadlike worms in the windpipe of the chicken. To kill these worms and not injure the chicken is laborious. Take a glass tube with a small rubber bulb (which apothecaries sell for a “medicine-dropper”), half fill it with camphorated oil, and inserting the tip in the windpipe, discharge the oil. A small oil can used for sewing machines i may serve in place of the medicine- drOpper. Operate as follows: Place the chicken back down between your knees and hold it gently; open the bill and draw the tongue. Seize the lower man: dible and tongue thus drawn out be- tween the forefinger and thumbnail of the left hand. This will bring into view the opening into the windpipe at the base of the tongue, into which gently insert the tube and discharge the oil, using about one drop. Close the bill and hold-the head still for a few sec- onds. Then let the chicken go, and it will cough, spattering some of the oil out, but enough remains to destroy the worms, and they will, be coughed up and swallowed. The gapes continue for some time after the treatment, but the remedy will be effectual in every case if properly applied, and it may be'read- ily repeated, if considered worth while, as often as necessary. After a little practice it is very easily applied and al- ways succeeds. A breadcrumb upon which is one or two drops of a mixture of camphoratcd oil and oil of turpen- tine forced down the throat is some- times effectual, but it does not always reach the windpipe. Pulling out the worms with the strip of a feather is painful to the chick. —Farm and Fire- side. SITTING-HEN COOLER. A Device That Has Worked Like a Charm \threver It Has Been Given a Trial. When the “good will” of a sitting hen is not wanted, she most generally be— comes a nuisance. Hence the reason why sitting hens receive so much abuse at the hands of their owners when at- tempts are made to-“break up” the sit- ting fever. If rightly handled, the A SITTING HEN COOLER. “hottest” hen may be induced in a few days to go to scratching and give up all idea of sitting, without being cruel to her, either. Get a grocery box, or some- thing similar, and convert it into the affair shown in out. It has no bottom, but one end has a slopingtop to throw off rain and also to protect the hen from the sun. The remainder of the top is covered with slats. .The two holes at dishes of water and food, which, by the way, should be light and small in quan? tity, to reduce .“biddy’s” condition. Oats are about the best substitute for “bread” when refractory hens thus have to be placed on “dungeon diet.”— Fred 0. Sibley, in Ohio Farmer. The Value of Warmth. Both adults and chicks love warmth. The hens will select the sunny spots, especially if protected against the winds on damp or cold days, while even on the warmest days of July the a heavy shower suddenly come up, and the chicks appear dead, place them near a stove, or in an oven of moderate heat, and notice how quickly the apparently dead chicks will come to life again! Heat is the great life-giving element. Should disease of any kind appear al- ways provide a dry and (warm place. There is no remedy for roup that equals warmth, pet that warmth will cure it, but warmth invigorates the fowl and enables it to withstand the ordeal.— American Gardening. 113‘ ~ . 1' ' 1 . “3 5.;11‘111. that: ’1...- _;‘ ..,_,.1, 4;, 1M ' WASHING- @WDER Cleans everything that can be cleaned- Laces; Fine Lin Fianna/s; Clothes, Dishes; .1 9111‘s andPans; Glassware; Woor arc-:15: and everything else about the house.
