Val. 2221 SATURDAY EVENING, 111,090 PRESCRIPTIONS AT GREENCASTLE Carl Family Has Conducted Business in Town Since 1823; Many Medicines Called For in Formulas Long Out of Use (ifocnoasllc, Pa., Feb. 3.—One of the most interesting collections of pre scriptions to bo found in any drug store in Franklin county is on file at Dr. C. B. Carl's drugstore, in East Baltimore street. Recently the pre scriptions were counted and they amounted to one hundred and eleven thousand and ninety. They date back to 1823. Many of the drugs call ed for in the perscriptions have long been out of use. while some of the common drugs of to-day were not heard of when the lirst prescriptions were written. The reason that so many old prescriptions are on tile is because the Carls have conducted a drugstore in Greencastle for 92 years. In 1823 Adam Carl came here from Carlisle and established the first drug store in the town, and for almost a century it has remained in the same family. Sons succeeding their fath ers, and grandchildren their grand sires. Mrs. Catherine Cllppinger celebrated her 85th birthday Sunday at her home in North Carlisle street. Miss Cllppinger is one of Greencastle's most influential women, and she is still actively engaged in church and social DEER AND RABBIT MAKING TROUBLE Dr. Kalbfus Says There Should Re Some Temporary Changes Female deer have increased so rap idly that a plan of restoring the right to shoot them for a period to be de termined upon may be submitted to the legislature by the State Game com mission and it may also urge that the rabbit hunting season should be two months because of the danger of the "cottontails" becoming a menace to agriculture. The reports of the Game commission and of Dr. Joseph Kalb fus, the secretary, were submitted to the governor to-day and go exhaus tively into the benefits which have accrued to the State through operation of the hunters' license law, which has made money available for propagation and protection and stimulated interest in hunting which trains men and youths to the woods and to the use of tirearms, while affording splendid sport.

Speer. noted the per ceptible increase in valuable insect destroying birds in the year and the growing popular interest in birds, but regrets that wet weather was unfavor able for increase of game birdsfl Tur keys, quail and squirrels are not hold ing their own and the ruffed grouse is gradually disappearing. The game pre serves are considered an admirable method of propagating game and have maintained birds which would other wise have been exterminated. The question of a natural food supply for the birds in winter is giving great con cern. Pennsylvania's bounty system is con sidered the best in the land and there has been an increase in claims. The office dealt sharply with many frauds during the year and the game protectors were successful in all but twenty out of 726 cases, although en countering difficulties in enforcing the law prohibiting aliens from having firearms and dogs. Dr. Kalbfus declares for simpler game laws. lie favors a codification and believes that the present laws could bo reduced a fourth. None of the game birds can sand a longer sea son than one month. The State, he says, has bought game for propagation from other places, including 5,000 quail from Mexico, but if the farmers of the State, whom he says derive most benefit from the life work of the quail were to take an interest in the birds in winter time a closed season would be all right. The birds were bought from pro ceeds of the hunters' license law and Dr. Kalbfus says that quail can not be secured from any State now and that Mexico is the only place. Dr. Kalbfus says that the shooting of all game should be forbidden be fore daylight, especially wild turkeys and that strict efforts should be made to capture men who use turkey calls. Rabbit hunting, says the secretary, is the poor man's sport. "I believe," says he, "that fully three-fourths of the hunters of the State are rabbit hunters and that the more rabbits we have the less birds will be killed by men." He also says that rabbits are the prey of animals which would otherwise attack poultry and that in some counties rabbits are being prop agated, while in other counties they need to be thinned out. The secretary notes that there are now eighteen game preser\es and that the plan to establish a quail pre serve near New Germantown had to be abandoned because leases could not be obtained. The tracts being worked upon for establishing this year are in Blair, Bedford, Huntingdon, Clear field, Cumberland and Susquehanna. Somerset, Warren, Clarion, Forest, Dr. Kalbfus favors buying land for game preserves out of the hunters li cense fund in counties where there are no State forestry reservations. Regarding deer raiding orchards and farms he says that he has had com plaints and the office would not prose cute if the deer were shot in the hind ends with fine shot so long as serious or fatal injury was not inflicted on the animal. In relation to bounty frauds he says that he is satisfied the State was mulcted by frauds, but that every thing can not be uncovered in spite of efforts made. The report says that 30 of 102 men accidentally shot during the hunting season were killed against 119 shot and 29 killed in 1915. The great ma jority were hurt by careless use of firearms. It is estimated that 400,000 men went hunting and that 3,200,000 rabbits were shot with 600,000 squir rels, 4,000 wild turkeys, 20,000 quail, 10.000 woodcock, over 150,000 grouse, 20,000 raccoons, and 2,000 male fleer and CO to 100 female deer illegally shot.

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES AND TRE ANIENT OF WORMS Difference Between True and False Gapes: Suggestions For Each Propagation of Intestinal Worms and Their Effect on Fowls By I)r. B. F. Kaupp Poultry investigator and Pathologist For United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural experts estimate that almost ten million dollars is lost an nually by diseases of poultry, of which are a great part Is due to worms which are harbored in the intestinal tract and other vital organs. The writer of this article has made a close study of the subject, and experiment ed with drugs and means of ridding fowls of these pests. Some of the re sults of his investigations follow: The tube which extends from the throat to the lungs is commonly called the windpipe. Its ■scientific term is the trachea. As a result of worms in the trachea a condition may develop which is called gapes, so called be cause the bird in its later stages gasps for air by extending its head high into the air with mouth open. True and False Gapes There are many causes for gapes, such as pieces of cracked corn or other particles of food being sucked down the tracheal opening in the throat during the process of swallow ing. Examine the throat of a bird and you will see a long slit open and shut at the upper end of the larynx, or box at the upper end of the windpipe. There is no covering to this air opening as in mammals, hence it is not so well protected when the food passes over it to the gullet or esophagus. Consequently, if the bird chokes or gasps a small particle of food may find its way into the upper part of the windpipe and thus obstruct the free passage of air. We once found a whole grain of corn lodged in the upper part of the wind pipe of a fowl. When the windpipe becomes ob structed it is difficult for the air to pass and the bird gasps. Obviously, this ib not due to worms. And since the condition due to worms Is called gapes, we call this other gasping false gapes. There is a -worm, the male of which is round, white in color and about one-fourth inch long, and the female is about one and one-fourth inches long, which find their way into the windpipe and cause true gapes These two worms are usually attach ed, making a Y-shaped looking worm but which, as just stated, is really two distinct individuals. Many of worrn , 3 may invade a single trachea and cause serious trouble, now the Worms Spread hen filled with mature eggs the female worm is coughed out of the trachea, or the chick dies and the worms then decay, and finally the eggs or minute worms are freed upon the ground. These are devoured by earthworms, which are in turn eaten l lnft°i Une V J' 4 * 6 "' and the btr ll il.t . ed - Only young birds are seriously affected by gapeworins.

The k re e< * u 'PP e art&, except the tip. Dip this tip in kerosene, grasp the bird, open its mouth and pass the feather down the windpipe past the lump of worms, twist and withdraw the feather, endeavoring to dislodge the worms. Worms Pound in the Intestines There are two kinds of worms com monly found in the intestines, and i have been found in 80 per cent j of the birds examined in this labora tory. These are round worms and ! ribbon-shaped worms, or tapeworms. ' °me people think that a tapeworm consumes food, but this is not so. If wo examine a tapeworm under a microscope we find that they have no intestinal tract or mouth at all. They attach themselves to the lining of the first portion of the intestines and float back in the intestinal tract among the digesting food, where thev absorb digested nutrients. This is one reason why fowls infested with these worms are poor and demaciated. This absorption is accomplished by the worm in much the same manner as th e absorption by the intestines. , The tapeworm attaches itself to the lining* of the intestines by means of an apparatus consisting of four suck f,™ an , (l a cluster of hooks, arranged L" .. rcl , e , betw 'een the suck -11 V i , of a lense we find that back of the head of the worm £i. ,s V 1 } 01 " 1, smooth neck which is followed by segments.

These are scattered on liie ground, among food, in the drinking water, and other birds pick them up and are contaminated. As fast as one of g n, nt ?, r ° P ' S from the terminal end the worm, another develops from This Is the white variety of the fa mous Cochin fowl, which is thought to have boomed the rearing and ex hibiting of fancy poultry. Although variously called Shanghais and Cqphin Chinas in their early days, the breed came from Shanghai, China, and was first introduced into England about 1845. At first the Shanghai was generally of red color. Skillful fanciers de veloped the Buff, Partridge, White and Black varieties, and of these the White Cochin is the subject of our sketch. They are esteemed as large roasting fowls, and are bred pure or crossed for this purpose. The White Cochin is a handsome fowl, large and I I ||m& Make Your Hens Lay Now 111 111 l IIIm I r Strotag laying hens are the money makers. Give HI if them a chance. Tone up the dormant ena organs wiih L a long way to wards ridding the flock of this trouble. Mix this fluid in mash made of wheat middlings or wheat mid dlings and cornmeal, and feed it in such a manner that all birds will get their share. Follow this with Epsom salt, giving one tablespoonful to every six fowls. Dissolve the salt in water and use this water to mix the dry feed as above indicated. An other remedy is to boil a quantity ot tubact'o stems for thirty minutes and use this water to mix a dry mash which is fed to the birds. Incubators have played such an important part in the development of the poultry industry it is al most superfluous to enumerate their advantages. To the inexperi enced they sometimes suggest an intricate apparatus, requiring spe cial skill and practice before one can hope for best results.

The hens get broody, sit, hatch and rear chicks, making excellent moth ers. The chicks grow' rapidly, but feather slowly, attaining considerable size before they are fully feathered. The pullets reach laying period In about eight months, but neither sex attains full size until a year old. At that time, the females weigh from eight to ten pounds, and males ten to twelve pounds, and more. These fowls are considered poor foragers and are hardly suited for general farm flocks. 5
