A simple way for prpvcntliiir tlin cprcail of tlic Imof mill month illscaso, which Is niiiiminlly prevalent in tr ninny nuil whleh seoms Impossible to st niiip ont, lian lioen discovered liy Professor Winkler 11 ml Is thus ilo SciTlie.l: "The milk of cattle ntillcted with the illseaxp In well boiled, nnd from four to nix quarts Is fed to paeh nnlmnl for n period of olitlit days." Frofessor Winkler elnlnis that It will Klvc Imntnnliy to the disease, nnd ns It Is a very simply remedy nnd easily gotten ttp, It Is nt least worth a trial. Ailvnntim oni SolTaln Fouttry. Soils that nro unfit for cnltlvntlon can bp nsed to ndriintngn for poultry. A sandy location is nlways dry, nnd the fowls enn find more or less green food that would be luslKiilUrnut In quantity for cattle. It Is safe to claim that In this section of tlio country there Is no soil that does not contain prowth of some kind, even If but Bonnt, nnd, ns fowls prefer the young nnd tender plants that nre Just ap pearing nliove ground, whether weeds or grass, they can nt least find all the green food necessary. The advan tage of n sandy location, however. Is Its dry soil. Fewer diseases occur on sandy soils, and the fowls will require less care where they escape mud nnd dampness. With good shelter nnd nt tentlon In feeding the fowls n plot of laudy land can be made to pay. Itrenklna; I p Setting flena. The treatment that setting hens, or "setters," generally receive from Inex perlenced poultrynieu Is absurd. When a broody hen Is not to be set, the soon er she gets to laying ngnlu the better. To banj her nround nnd shut her up In some fqui little coop without feed and water la barbaric. Such treat ment would ninke any hen stupid. Wo have seen farmers or their boys "duck" their hens In water, throw them on the barn roof, pull out their tails, etc., flu n matter of Imagined policy. If possible the poultrymnn should avail himself of a ynrd nnd house for the purpose of "breaking up" Ills setting hens. The accommo dations need not he large. Common ense will approve anything reason able. Tut your hens In this sani tarium and regard It as such. Itight here Is the place for your best feed, for your best dust bnth. for your most chlvalrle cockerel. When released from this ronllnemeut your hens arc ready to lay.

The best methods of marketing gar den truck aud other perishable pro duce is Just now the subject of much discussion between advocates of vari ous plans. One set of farmers be lieve in the producer building up a retail family trade direct with con sumers in cttles and towns. Others oppose this, claiming conditions have so changed wilhlu the Inst generation this cannot be done. Both are right in a measure. Yet the general princi ple holds true that there Is a field for "getting together" and cutting out some of the excessive middlemen' tolls. There Is too wide a difference between what the producer actually nets and consumer pays for berries or fresh vegetables, poultry, etc. No general rule can be applied to the situation. Each farmer mast ' study conditions so far as his owa business Is concerned. In many In stance he can work up a profitable trade in selling direct from farn to town resident An Important clement In success of this kind is In seeing that quality la nil right and that asked prices are not excessive. The town wife Is a shrewd buyer, yet other thing! being equal she favors the fresh, crisp product direct from the country. Where conditions are suited try this business tho coming season.
