drastic and will take a little time, say
three minutes for each bird, but if.
followed out faithfully and given a
trial in suitable quarters it will be
found to clear up most cases of roup,
in two or three treatments which
should be given every other day. It
has been found that the average case
of roup will clear up in about ten
days and that soon thereafter the
birds will commence laying again.
Birds that have recovered from roup
do not take the disease again.
Chicken Pox May Develop.
Another condition which may ap-
pear along with roup, or as an inde-
pendent disease, is the so called
chickenpox, in which scabs and sores
form on the wattles, combs and eye
lids. The lesions are often about the
size of a five cent piece and com-
mence as small light raised areas
that exude a thin discharge and soon
become converted into crust like
scabs. This condition is quite con-
tagious and requires prompt treat-
ment to control. Catch the bird, and
with a small rather dull knife . scrape
off the lesions until healthy tissue is
reached. Don't be afraid of blood.
Serape well, then dress with iodine
solution rubbed in well over entire
need and wattles. Three or four
treatments every other day will clean
up most cases. Give birds opening
medicine and remove trom Sock dur-
ing treatment. Birds that recover
from chicken pox are immune from
further attacks. It is most essential
•to remove any ailing birds from the
fioek and it should be remembered
that the discharges from the lesions
carry infection so that all soiled lit-
ter and dead birds should be burnt.
These Diseases Spread by Contact.
Stoup and chicken pox spread from
bird to bird by actual contact. Often
the first case is introduced , into a
flock by the purchase ofbirds from
infected premises or by handling of
birds by -a person who has recently
been in contact with affected birds,
or on the shoes or clothing. The best
way to prevent roup is to preserve
cleanliness in poultry runs, _and
houses; to watch,, the flock' caiefully
and at once remove. and treat sick;
birfds ' it is advisable that the per -
eon who treats.th'e.Sick fowls should
recognise; that he yls._dealing with a
very contagious disease, ,and_ should
change outer clothing, clean boots
gird" wash hands -thoroughly before
going among the flock, especially
y ,ung chicks. Neither roup or
'ehieken pox are communicable to
,,an or any other animal,

Agriculture, Toronto,) .
We all wear silken ties, and think
or care little of the --source of the ma-
terial -from wbieh the tie was made.
You may doubt the statement that
the tie you are wearing came largely
from a 'poison gas, carbon di -oxide,
a compound that is ever present to
the air in which we live and breath.
Silken ties should be beautiful, since
such are born of a remarkable par-
entage, an invisible compound toe
mother and a sunbeam for father. if
we walk into the spruce forest where
the tall trees reach toward the sky,
we pause with wonderment. and ask
how did it all happen, We can spend
an interesting moment in tracing the
development of the trees.
Much So -Called Silk Comes From
Spruce 'frees.
The tiny seed of the spruce, nursed
by mother earth and bathed in the
warmth of the sun, springs to tite
and pushes its tiny stein and leaves
out to the light and air, out to the
air that contains the carbon di -value
from which our tree will draw most
of its substance for growth—out to
the sunlight that activates the chlor-
ophyll green of the tiny leaves, set-
ting to work the chain of preeess.:s
that make wood growth. Layer tame
layer, the wood cells are added as
the tree develops. Every new lent
increases the growing capacity of the
little tree, doing its part in the trans-
formation of the carbon di -oxide gas
to sugar starch and cellulose, the
compounds in wood cell structure.
Wood Cellulose Furnishes the Lus-
trous Thread.
Wood cellulose is the tree materia,
used by the manufacturers of silk,
the lustre- silk of commerce, to make
the silken threads that we all like to
touch. The lumber -jack cuts the
tree, the pulp -maker by chemical pro-
cesses reduces the wood to fiakey
white cellulose. The next is nitration.
This is done by treating the cellulose
with a mixture of nitric and sul-
phuric acids in solution, taking care
not to overdo the digestion process,
and then thoroughly washing the
pulp free from the active acid agents.
The nitrated cellulose Is then mixed
with alconol and ether, reducing it
to the condition of viscous colludiun.
Next it is tittered caresuily and forced
through minute orifices in a glass
plate and on into a water bath where
the hue ` threads solidify. As the
threaus solidity such are passed on
over a roller and into another bath
containing a reducing agent known
as ammonium sulphide.

SO SENSITIVE ABOUT IT -
"Is Mrs: Peckton much cast down
since she was defeated In her race for
congress?"
"So much so," replied Mr. Peckton,
"that I don't believe I'll ever take her
on another visit to Washington,"
"Why not?"
"At the mere sight of those legisla-
tive halls site so confidently expected
to adorn she'd burst into team,"
Some Reasons.
Mr. Pester—You're 12 pounds under
weight. Why did you buy that book
on "How to Reduce"?
His Wife—Well, I might get fat
and then it would come in handy and
then I might build up by doing just
the opposite from what the book
says. Besides it was marked down to
half price. And—Oh, you mind your
own business,
Free -and -Easy Railroading,
"How far are we from Juniper Junc-
tion, conductor?"
"About 40 miles, ma'am."
"And when are we due to get there?"
"Oh, in about two hours, ma'am, if
the engine holds out. But even if we
don't get there in three hours, Juni-
per Junction is the kind of town that
Is willing to wait"
Not Foolish,
Meredith — I think Brown was fool-
ish in spending all that money on a
wireless outfit just because his wife
wanted to listen to the free air con-
certs.
Webster—Foolish, indeed! He says
the extra hours of quiet he gets every
evening now are worth ten times the
price he paid.
i ascus on trom this bath our
silken the eads go over heated drums
and spindles w oe dried and twisted
into larger threads, To have the
silken threads we must give them
color, so into the dye bath they go.

threites pass to dry, by a route that
leads to tale spool or spindle. Deft

ing machine, au artist's mind con-
trols those human fingers, which in
turn control the forces that unite the
colored silken threads into articles
of wearing apparel such as sweater

Man and the Silk Worm.
What is .the connection between
artificialsilk and natural silk. It is
very close; so very close that
the expert chemist is frequently call-'
ed in to decide on samples and de-
termine if .the product of man's art
and industry or ' that of the- silk
worm. Man goes to the tree for his
raw material, so does the silk worm.
Man uses chemical agents and a ma-
chine of his own invention; the silk
worm can't help it since nature gave
it a body structure and a digestive
system that would convert the- green
leaf of trees to silken cocoon cover-
ing threads. ,
Chemically These Products Much the
Same.
Chemically the product of man's en-
deavor and the silk -worm's work are
much the same. ' Few will know at
first glance if your wooden stock-
ings, wooden necktie or wooden
sweater coat were made possible by
the arts of a man or the green crawl-
er'so much loved by the people of the
Orient. -

bean, that from cowpeas containing
the most. Those which contain the
most phosphorus are wheat bran,
wheat middlings and linseed meal in

Milking cows dry ' is essential.:
When milk Is left in the udder after
each milking, the glands will gradu-
ally slow up on secreting milk and
ultimately the .cow will :dry up. It
pays to spend.'"a few extra minutes

that all the milk has bean, extracted.
