It true that many of the. stables g
are entirely too small, for the number
of animals kept •in them, besides the
barns aro too: often located on low
land, which if not properly drained
are usually damp and decidedly un-
healthy for stock. Many stables are
poorly lighted and without sufficient
ventilation. For sanitary reasons the
floor of a stable should be composed
of other material than wood. Every
stable should be drained, cleaned out
daily and disinfected once a week. It
is a mistake to allow urine and excre-
ment to remain in a barn for any

under cover some considerable dis-
tance from your stable. The well is
often situated too near your barnyard,
drippings and leachings ,,from 'the
manure may make its way into the
well. This infected water is almost
sure to sicken and perhaps cause the
death of some of your stock. It is
not expensive and a very good plan
to occasionally pour some kerosene
in your barnyard, and a few days
later taste and. scent the well water.
If the sap of the barnyard is making
its way into the well, you will be able
to scent and taste the oil. If possible
keep your barnyard clean, and avoid
storing much manure in it at any
one time. For convenience some farm-
ers throw droppings from stock out
of stable windows, and here „allow it
to,accumulate for a long time. This
is decidedly unsanitary, especially if
you keep cows.
Feeding stock badly cured grain or
fodder will frequently sicken them,
producing a sort of forage poisoning.
The under -feeding of live stock les-
sens their power of resisting diseases.
When live stock are stabled and de-
prived of fresh air they will not thrive.
Every barn should. be equipped with
ventilators, fresh outside air should
be admitted and the hul air allowed
to escape.
It is well to keep in mind that dis-
h functional, or structural
dis-
ease is the fun tion st u

deviation from the normal or healthy
standard. It of course, that condi-
tion which obtains where a living be-
ing or animal is unable' to adjust
itself to its environment.. The cause
of, disease may be divided into two
groups, viz., predisposing and excit-
ing causes. Predisposition to disease
includes all conditions which diminish
an _animal's resistance and thus ren-
der them subject to the specific ex-
citing causes of disease. Here is
where heredity is often charged with
being the cause of the disease, or ail-
ment. The most important active
causes of dyseases are of a parasitic
nature, and can be transmitted from
one animal to another, from farm to
farm, county to county, province to
province, and nation to.nation. In this
way tuberculosis, glanders, and many
other infectious and contagious dis-
eases have become world-wide in dis-
tribution. Immunity is that power of
resistance possessed ,in sone degree
by every animal, and it is due to a
cgqmbination of protective material
substances that are much alike in all
animals, with one exception, namely,
that pecullas type known as natural
immunity, It is rather strange that

It must bo admitted that this Matter
is none too well understood, We have
but two kinds of immunity; first, nat-
ural, which I have mentioned; second,
usually termed medical. Immunity

fully as well understood as -psycho-
logical actions of drugs.
Green -Peed Fort'Rens:
Nothing in the hen's ration Is more
important than green feed and it is
especially .important in wintee. In
the early fall it is best to plan on the
winter's supply and take a chance on
overestimating the ainount "needed
rather than underestimating it.
Mangels are the best winter green
feet] and a large aliment of them can
be grown on a small space. Sprouted
oats are greatly relished by hens, but
it is some work to prepare then} and
oats are expensive, so many poultry-
men*twill find that they can get along
very welleby using mangels and leave
ing out the sprouted oats. Plan on a
supply of cabbages if the mangel crop
is short and then feed the cabbages
first and save the mangels until late
in the winter as they will keep better
than cabbages.
Pumpkins are liked by poultry and
we ,find that the crop of pumpkins
will not bring much money on the
market and they are a bulky crap to
deliver. It is much better to feed them
in the winter to the hens and market
them in the forts of fresh eggs. Boiled
pumpkin nixed with bran is a health-
ful food and very good for forcing the
young stock or keeping the old hens
healthy while confined in the laying
house.
Clover is one of our best poultry
feeds. It may be rolled in a cylinder
of poultry wire and placed in the
house where the birds can pick at it:
Clover can be soaked in warm water
to freshen it and then placed in the
poultry house in troughs. A fork of
clean clover hay thrown on the floor
of the house will keep the birds busy
while they are confined during the
winter or on stormy fall days,
Save all of the cull- vegetables for
the poultry. They can be boiled and
fed in the form of a wet mash. Such
feed is so much better than a straight
grain ration for fowls that no flock
should pe 1 1
without 't. It tones up the
birds during the winter and helps
them to lay eggs. Even if the cost of
eggs in winter is about the value of
the eggs, the kens have to be fed
something, to why not give them all
they need and get paid for .it rather
than half feed them and receive no-
thing for what they do get.
We have found that a few feedings
each weeds of boiled cull potatoes are
relished by the birds and it helps to
reducs the cost of feeding them. At
the preaent price of potatoes they are
not econernical poultry feed but there
are apt to be many unmarketable culls
especially after a dry season, and they
can be used to advantage in the poul-
try mash. • If there is a vegetable
grower in the community some poul-
trymen can do well to purchase any of
the cull stock which he is glad to get
rid of at a 'very low price. Often farm-
ers in the community raise crops of
carrots, mangels, turnips or beets
which do n6t find a ready sale on their
local market and sometimes the poor-
er grade can be purchased by the poul-
try elan at a price that makes it an
economical investment.
One farmer in our section fed silage
to his hens and they seeped to like it
and it had a good influence on egg
production. It might pay if some of
our experimental farms would find
out the value of different kinds of
silage for poultry feed. The poultry -
/ten and fermiers with large flocks
need. a cheaper source of feed and it
seems as if acme kind of a chicken
silo night be used to advantage.
Clover silage ought to 135 a good green
food for hens though the writer has
never seen it used.
The unfortunate person who has
everything coming his way, without
effort 0f his own, is likely to be over-
supplied. We apologize to this com-
placent and usually self-satisfied per-
son, for comparing him with the hen
whose feed is thrown to her in hand-

In canned goods there are two kinds
of spoilage. ,The first is called "flat
sour" which include; all forms of
bacteelal growth that develop within
the food. The second type of -spoilage
to guard agaillrt is mold, a plant
growth that is distinctly different
from the bacterial growth. Molded'
foods are seldom more than surface
affected because air is necessary fee
its growth, but the "flat sour" spoil-
age means that the entire can must
be discarded. Bulletin No. 93 of the
Dominant Experimental Farms, "Pre-
servation of Fruits and Vegetables for
Home Use," which may be had on
application to the Publications Branch
Department of Agriculture, Ottawa,
gives full information on the various
methods of canning including old and
valuable recipes as well as new ones
which have been found valuable.
Canning has become the most popular
means of preserving large quantities
of fruit and vegetables and since
these are plentiful during the summer
months and at other times difficult to
obtain, it is important to preserve
quantities during the growing season
for uae in winter. Moreover, the nee
of an abundant supply of fruit and
green vegetables is essential to health

Bowleg.
Most babies appear to be bowlegged
at mirth, as they Have a' tendency to
bring the soles of their feet together,
causing the legs to bow outward. This
condition disappears as the baby
grows, although sometimes a child is
born really bowlegged. Bowlegs de-
veloping- between one and six years(
are usually clue to rickets. They are
seen also in robust healthy children
that have been allowed to walk too
early. The booing may be either of
two bones of the leg, below the knee,
or of the thigh bones as well, above
the isnee. About one in five of us is
bowlegged and while the condition
causes no disability or discomfort .!t
is often a departure from the normal
that makes the one in five feel semi -
Children having a tendency to bow-
legs should not be permitted either to
walk or to stand at an early age.
Clothing thick enough to prevent the
child few itoldirng its thighs together
must be avoided. Massage (rubbing
the legs and kneading the muscles)
and making gentle and continuous
pressure ori the outside of the Limbs,
so es to bend them inward into it
straight line, will correct the deform-
ity in ,infants, if the pressure is ex-
erted persistently several tinges daily.
Any tendency to rickets must be com-
bated: child must remain outdoors as
much as possible, the diet improved,
ee to 1. teaspoonful of an emulsion of
cod liver oil may be given three times,
daily and' pure warns cod liver oil
rubbed all over the body once daily
after the bath, If the soles of the
shoes 'are made thicker along the

21102011 years ago Mother was
striclson with paralysis, following a

eucotllnlis to ole paralytic strolse, In
another ease thele may be several
such 8610 ses. Strokes aro generally
due to htualo1h1g of the arteries which
rupture in the brain substance thus
producing the paralysis. If the gan-
grene is due to the hardened arteries
it may be cured. If it is due to die,
betes, it cannot, in most -cases, be
cured. Apoplexycis the result of a
stroke. The first and second strokes
are often recovered from. The chances,
of course,eliml'nieh with the sufferer's
age. In any event the chances of Dull
recovery from complete paralysis are
slight. Power' is usually restored in
the leg sufficient to enable the patient
to get about, but in most instances the
finer movements of the hand are lost.
More or Less mental weakness may
follow an attack and the venerable,
thus recovered, may become irritable
and emotional. The general health
must be carefully conserved, and the
emunr-tories( the bowels' the kidneys
and the skin) must be kept active.
When the paralysis has persisted for
more then three months, the patient's
relatives must understand that the
condition is past relief, that medicines
and electricity will not cure, though
they may relieve and give comfort.
