Avian tuberculosis, which particularly prevalent in the North Central States, can be detected by a post-mortem or by the tbuerctilin test given by a veterinarian. All diseased birds should be killed and burned The remainder of fowls over one year can kill two birds with one stone bv old should be marketed. The chicken using these '' lies in low terrace j house should be cleaned and disin walls, about the yards, barnyard, gar den, and aloiiK the highway. By using such stone as foundations and for "plumbs" in a low gfadtf con crete a terrace wall can be built' for astonishingly small outlay of money Such wall terraces should, of course wherever possible be designed as foundations for permanent fences, an where they will serve to catch and retain the drifting soil, trash, etc For such purposes they seldom need stand more than eighteen inches above ground (otherwise they should be de , signed with more care as retaining walls). Such a wall 2 1-2 feet high (18" above ground) .will take one sack of cement to 7 feet of wall when half the volume is made up of "plumbs." This is practicable if the plumbs are carefully laid. If the water is to be conducted along the upper side of the wall it should be fixed with a fall of about one inch in six feet or about V5' in one hundred. . , . 1 If the wall is built level, as at the lower edge of a yard, then some pro Vision should be made for the water to go thru the wall just above the earth surface. This will give oppor tunity for the earth to settle out of the water and yet not retain too much of a pond. The outlets can be conveniently made by laying piecest of 4 drain hie thru the wall, ' can be laid one abo other the lower on . lU fills V 'JL n?r lugSed when earth ' When a fence is to stand on the wall the posts (concrete or steel) can be set in the wall when building, but if wood posts are to be used a con venient scheme is to set 4" tile drain Joints vertically in the concrete wall at such spacing as desired. The tops should be flush with the top of the concrete and around each tile should be put several bands of sound fence wire (or the equivalent) so that the wire will be enveloped in concrete. This will reenforce the tile and con crete so that it will stand any reason able strain "on the posts which will be set in the tile. Instead of tile, wood plugs can bt made of whatever size desired. They should le slightly tapered (small end down) arid a single wrapping of paper put around the plug so that it can be easily extracted. The trench for the wall should be 16" deep, the bottom, four Inches to be filled with field sone without ce ment. On this first course of stone the concrete is started 12" below ground surface and between board forms. The forms are of the simpl est pattern and need no illustration. The easiest manipulation is to sit stakes in line for the vertical side and hold the battered side in place with wire. Work should always stop in a square end against a board cut to fit between the forms. This same board can be used as a spacer in wiring up the forms. For a job of much magnitude,, two or three sets of. form's should be made either 14 or 16 feet long. By the time the forward one is filled the rear can be detached and moved forward. 1 Do not let the wall get dry for three days, One of the many advantages in these concrete terrace walls is the ease with which cultivation can be pushed right up to the wall. A plow can be run against it without catch ing. All of which is conducive to easy, "clean and full cultivation. This means much in a garden under the intense cultivation ,that it should re cejve. Such walls as described above are sure to crack at intervals but these cracks will not detract from their cf fectivencss . fcted and also moved to clean ground if practicable. . Lots and runways should be plowed up and seeded to a grain crop. f sheep, calves, or pigs have husky cough, lungworms should be suspected as the cause of the trouble. Good "nursing" is the safest and most satisfactory treatment in most cases says the Bureau of Animal Industry of ihe U. S. Department of Agricul ture. Infested animals should be tak en off wet pasture and put on high, dry pasture, or put up and fed dry feed. A safe supply of drinking wat er and plenty of good feed are of value, in tiding the animals over the critical stages of the disease and al lowing the lungworms to die out. Sanitation and pasture rotation, isola tion of infested stock, and special precautions in regard to the pastur ing and watering of young animals arc important preventive measures.

According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, these parasites are found in one out of three hogs of breeding age. Worm infested places are especially danger ous to young pigs. Preventive meas ures consist in keeping the pigs on clean pasture or ground away from older hogs, and in providing shelter the'day's work and before harnessing in the morning. After removing the harness, wash the shoulders with warm water and castile soap, and rinse with cold salt water. Keep this up tor two or three weeks. It is worth uhile to spend a little time on the horse in the field. Raise the col lar and clean the sweat, dirt, and dead hair from the shoulders and col lar. Whenever possible, lift the col lar forward and let the horse's shoul ders cool off. The most profitable pig is the one that never stops growing till it goes to market. Pigs are less likely to be fed irregularly and to lose weight if they and the sows are fed in self feeders where several days' or even a week's supply of feed may be stor ed. At the U. S. Department of Agriculture experiment farm in Mary land sows and pigsr on self-feeders have proved more thrifty than those that were hand-fed. In tests com paring the two methods of feeding, No." 2 yellow corn, commercial gray middlings of good quality, and 60 per cent tankage were the chief feeds. The pigs ate when they pleased and as much as they pleased. The out standing results of the tests were that in the self-fed lots .the feecj. sf per 100 pounds of gain ,wafs material ly less and the sowm and pigs were ill utiiv.i wviiuuivii at wt-aiiAiig . nmw NOTICE OF SALE UNDER VEN.

One tuberculous fowl may cause the disease to spread through the whole flock if control measures are not ap- hot weather. Pigs should be kept on clean ground until they are at least "four months old, or weigh 100 pounds. Roundworm eggs are very resistant to cold and drought and are long lived, some living as long as five years. Details of the method of roundworm control commonly known as the McLean County system of swine sanitation, are available to swine raisers in Leaflet S-L, of the U. S, Department of Agriculture, which may be obtained on request. A SIMPLE ROACH TRAP An effective trap for roaches is made by greasing the sides of deep bread tins with a little rancid butter. The roaches are attracted by the food odor, and are unable to climb out be cause of the greased sides. Dusting thoroughly with sodium fluoride on shelves and in cracks about the kitch en will also exterminate roaches ef fectively. Sodium fluoride is poison ous to people as well as to roaches. Keep it away from children and pets. For washing and rinsing , utensils a clean, safe water supply is abso lutely necessary. Contaminated water may be a source of danger not only to persons living on the farm but al so to those who use milk from the farm. Wells and springs should air ways be protected from surface drain age. The drainage from privies, hog: cens. barhvards. and other sources 4tpA3 of contamination should always be away from the well, and both springs and wells should be walled in, curbed, and tightly covered. If the dairyman buys all his feed, hires all his labor, and disposes of the milk at current wholesale prices he will make little if any money. If he buys all his feed and does all his own work he may make day wages, To make the greatest profit raise most or all the feed and market it through the dairy cow at a price at least equal to what the same feed would cost on the market It's a good idea to make a small outdoor seedbed, with specially pre pared soil, in a corner of the farm garden, to start the plants. Thev will be more stocky if started herf and later transplanted. A good soil mixture for the seedbed is one part of; well-rotted manure, two parts of good garden loam or rotted sods, and one part of sharp, fine sand. The addition of leaf mold or peat makes the soil better. Mix the materials well and sift the soil. The farm horse is less likely to get sore shoulders if it gets special care in early spring until the ; muscles harden and the winter hair sheds. Gean the shoulders carefully after thereabouts. Along about , night we drifted into 4he. harbor and went ashore. We started to pay the boys but they said that food was what they were after. We will come and see you tomorrow or the next day, and with a cheery "Kwa heri Wazungu Marani saria sana" they were off. We went to the club and yelled lustily for the steward to bring us all the food and drinks in the place. No one asked us any questions and we gave, out no infor mation about our trip other than to answer a casual remark about how fine it was to spend a , night out in an open boat occassionally. That is the Englishman's way of attending to his own business and believe me we appreciated it to the fullest, for we felt like bad boys whose prank had backed fired on them. - -(To be continued) ADMINISTRTARIX' NOTICE Having qualified asadministratrix of S.
