When signs of roup are noticed in a flock, all the sick should be isolated from the well at once. Feeding the remainder of the flock on wet corn meal, to which one teaspoonful of corn oil has added for each dozen fowls, will haps prevent their contracting diease, This should be as the exigency of » Case require, say once or * a Weekly «Witness, been per- fed as week.

Indiana Farxier, heel THE HORSES' FEET Many farmers do not think about the necessity of not only feeding their horses and keeping them proper ly bedded, etc, but also caring for their feet. They leave that work to be done in the blacksmith shop when necessity compels something of the be in every stable a pair pinchers. They were frequently re ferred to by my old associate, Dr, Wm. Dixon. The pinchers have sharp edges and a good throat, so that they can be easily applied to the rim of the hoof when upheld, and the wall of the hoof pinched off back to a proper length, When horses are run. ning in pasture or are upon the roads go that they wear off this grow then there is but little need of this , work. But when they are standing in the stable, or working upon plowed ground where the ground is soft, then the hoof will make too great a growth and if left unattended to it will grad ually break off, and ofttimes the break will extend into the wall of the hoof so as to injury.

HE patural growth of the Philippine forests is computed by Major Ahern, Chief of the Insular Forestry Bureau, to 1,400 000,00¢ cubic feet—three for 1900 in the United States! At the presen: time fully 99 per growth is going to waste, and the world is clamoring for the woods the ebonies, mahoganies, ironwoods, construction woods all manner of precious woods, that need oaly modern methods a maximum of machinery and a minimum of handling to make Monte Cristo: of the needed lumbermen ‘There are many mililons of cubic feet in the forests of the Philippines that should be ent in order to properly thin out the dense growth: for instance, whete there are three or four trees growing on a space required for one, thal one so freed would put on more woe each year than the four together. The question as to whether three hundred or three thousand trees should remair on an acre is where the real value of sclentific forestry is shown. Then, too there are many more millions of feet which reach maturity and pass on te decay, never thrilling to the woodman’s axe. There are, however, very few companies in the Philipmues properly equipped to handle large logs, and with out master mechanics, expert gang bosses, in fact all the skilled labor required and without a full stock of the best supply material, it would be hazardous to move the large logs which must be cut and brought to market if the forest: are to be properly exploited. A mood price is paid in Hong Kong for every stick of timber from the Phillippines, and the American lumbermen with mod orn methcds ean solve the problem, and in so doing they will not only help to educate the adaptable Filipino as to practical things, but will insure him cask wages, something unusual in Spanish days.
