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 yet; proved contagious to human beluga -though it may be 7.but"rickete" and "serofula" are tuberculous and infec- tious.

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- tic young man who had birds in hia bedroom, The others yielded to treat- ment or change of climate.

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.
