HOW SUDDEN'LY HE WENT.
Tbere was one that Went . from your

COMPS IV IS alla BirdS.
If yol want to avoid consumption
don't. keep canary birds.
If you will keep them; don't let them
"kiss" you with their beaks. ,
Don't keep parrots, rabbits, rats, cats,
mice, pigeons, flies, dogs, bens.
These are the conclusions of Dr. I.
Tucker. Wise, M.R.C.S., Eng., L.R.Oln,
Lend., Diplome Suisse Federal, given
in an article in the Lancet.•
Caged birds and domesticated animals
are particularly liable to disease be-
cause of the unnatural conditions un-
der which they are kept. Tuberculosis
is common among cage -birds.
Parrots are also attacked. by tuber-
cles. Psittecosin an infections disease
of pareets, gives pneumonia to men.
Nocard described its bacillus in Paris
in 1893.
,Tuberculous dogs and cats spread
infection by nasal and other discharges
and by sores upon their bodies.
Canaries are inore commonly tube
erculous than other cage -birds. The
symptoms are a husky cougo, inability
to moult and -gradual emaciation. Hens
suffer in the same ways. "Pip" has not

-though it may be 7.but"rickete" and
"serofula" are tuberculous and infec-
tious. Gilbert, Roger and Cadiot have
infected rabbits with bird tubereuloals.
Dr. Wise gives • some -startling en -
stances. In one family, living he a
large., well-built house, about twenty
or thirty birds were kept, partly in the
house. Eight cases of tuberculous
disiease developed in We family, There
was only one death - that of an athle-

BEST COLOR FOR HORSES.

brown or dark chestnut is the best and
sells well in the market. Occasipnally

WHY PEAS BENEFIT OTHER CROPS.
IL has been demonstrated that the .
microeorganiem of the roots of field '
peas tolled more nitrogen than the
plant itself needs, As a consequence
any other crop, such as oats planted
with peas,..would be benefited by this
aceumulation of nitrogen unless the
peas are so thick as to interfefe.with
the proper development ef the other
crop.
