KEEP DISEASE FROM FOWL IN WINTER'S CONFINEMENT Flock Which Escapes Ravages of Gapes, Roup, Chicken Pox, and Scaly Leg is Best Producer of Eggs and Meat, as Well as Dividends. Demon disease is difficult to control among flocks of poultry because fowls are housed together in relatively large numbers and when disease develops the comparatively low value of each bird does not justify special care and attention for each individual hen. Hence, it is essential to protect the flock against the entrance of disease. Unless maintained in a healthy condition chicks will not grow properly while mature fowls will rapidly lose their vigor and vitality and become unproductive and unprofitable. Prevention against disease is simple; attempt to cure a bird after it becomes sick is difficult. Safety first for the flock necessitates scrupulous care not to expose the birds needlessly and to practice all precautions which make for hen health. The Four Worst Maladies. Gapes, roup, chicken pox, and scaly leg are the "big four" among poultry diseases. Annually these pestilences invade flocks and effect heavy mortality. Gapes is the "ker-choo" or sneeze disease of chickens, which always may be recognized by the fact that it incites the fowls to continuous coughing and generally affects young chicks and young turkeys in the first weeks of their lives. Gapes is caused by a little worm which attaches itself cine droper, is very beneficial. Thereafter, grease the fowl's head with camphorated oil or carbolated vaseline. Keep a small quantity of permanganate of potash in the drinking water so as to prevent spread of roup. In severe cases it is best to kill the birds at once, as seldom, if ever, can the disease be fully and permanently cured. Chicken pox, or "sore head," another contagious poultry disease, is characterized by white festers which develop into brown spots or crusts on the comb, eyelids, and upon the beak and nostrils. In severe cases, these sores increase to the extent that the bird occasionally is unable to open its eyes and beak, and, if neglected, will die. Keep all roosting quarters clean, dry, and thoroughly disinfected. During the summer, when chicken pox is most common, mix three pounds of powdered sulphur with each 100 pounds of dry mash, giving it freely to the birds. As chicken pox is most rampant among late-hatched chicks, an advisable preventive is to practice early hatching. Vaseline Softens Sores. Treatment for sick birds consists of applying a liberal quantity of carbolated vaseline, which causes the patches or crusts to drop off, whereupon the sores underneath should be painted with tincture of iodine or a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid.* Five pounds of fine powdered sulphur mixed with each 100 pounds of dry mash is also efficient in effecting a cure. When the disease develops in any flock, immediately spray the houses and coops thoroughly with some wood preservative or coal-tar disinfectant and scald the drinking fountains and feeding ALL RECORDS BREAK. September imports broke in the history of America ing greater than those of high record month (July $92,000,000). September imbed in value $435,000,000, our fourth our total imports for dar year 1913, nine months was under protective tariff other hand, the average on all imports for the month last was the lowest corded at our ports, being under five and seven-tenths and realizing but $24,724 tons revenues. In the month, 1913, the last month protective tariff, we import 000 worth of foreign goods into the Federal Treasury ed States nearly $27,000,000 imports for September pay of duty prevailing under regime our Treasury wounered nearly $85,000,000 fromeral customs houses, instill 30 per cent of that sum. first nine months of the we have imported $2,697,000 of foreign products, and they are now coming in thof our trade ledger will 000,000 for 1919, while tha will continue to shrink. With but two exceptions been a steady increase more imports since the first of June beginning with $213,000,000 and ending with over twice tenber. On the other hand for September decreased compared with the month and $335,000,000 compared record month of June, th September being $593,000 of trade which ran leg are the "big four" among poultry diseases. Annually these pestilences invade flocks and effect heavy mortality. Gapes is the "ker-choo" or sneeze disease of chickens, which always may be recognized by the fact that it incites the fowls to continuous coughing and generally affects young chicks and young turkeys in the first weeks of their lives. Gapes is caused by a little worm which attaches itself to the inside of the windpipe, where it multiplies and ultimately obstructs the passage so that breathing is made difficult and ultimately prohibited to the extent that the bird chokes and dies. The female worm, while residing in the windpipe of the fowl, produces many eggs which are distributed widely as the chicks sneeze, or are swallowed and scattered about through the intestinal tract. The young worms which hatch from these eggs live in the earth for a time and ultimately are picked up and swallowed by young chicks, thereby completing the cycle of the disease. This explains how infection is carried over from one year to another and why it is important that the same ground should not be used year after year for chicken raising operations. Keep Hens on Clean Soil. Of course, the best control is to keep the chicks on fresh clean soil at all times. If they develop the disease, move them immediately to fresh pasture where the grass is plentiful. Spread lime heavily over infested areas and plow expediously in order to destroy any worms present. Expert "lariat work," a reminder of the western range variety, is necessary to rid the chicks' gullet of these worms. This is accomplished by taking a long hair from a horse's tail, twisting the two ends together to form a loop and inserting it down the chick's windpipe about one inch, giving it two or three turns and then withdrawing it with the struggling worms which it encircles. This should be repeated until all the invaders are captured and destroyed by scalding or burning. Roup is the hay fever ailment of poultry, as it induces profuse watery discharges from the eyes and nostrils, which ultimately interferes with the bird's breathing. Eyelids so swollen es or crusts to drop off, whereupon the sores underneath should be painted with tincture of iodine or a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid.* Five pounds of fine powdered sulphur mixed with each 100 pounds of dry mash is also efficient in effecting a cure. When the disease develops in any flock, immediately spray the houses and coops thoroughly with some wood preservative or coal-tar disinfectant and scald the drinking fountains and feeding dishes with boiling water, repeating these control measures every third day thereafter until the sickness is dissipated. Scaly leg, caused by a mite which burrows beneath the scales and forms a yellowish, powdery substance, which inflates the scales, is another contagious disease. It spreads slowly. To prevent its entrance to the flock, the roosting and dropping boards and all cracks and crevices should be sprayed thoroughly at regular intervals to keep them free from mites. Examine the birds' shanks occasionally, and if any signs of scaly legs appear, wash the birds' legs with soap and warm water to remove the loose scales, and then rub thoroughly with a half-and-half mixture of kerosene and linseed oil, or fill a can with a mixture, and after the birds have gone to roost at night dip each bird's legs into the solution for about a minute. Repeat the treatment every three or four days until the scales are removed, is also very effective. FURNISH CHICKENS WITH COMFORTABLE SURROUNDINGS Nothing is better for growing chicks than a liberal supply of sour milk. If it can be obtained, it always should be kept before them in an open dish or pan where they can eat and drink it freely. Where sour milk is fed, the amount of beef scrap in the dry mash may be reduced one-half. Plenty of fresh, clean water is absolutely necessary for all growing chicks. In hot weather, it should be given twice daily and put into fountains or dishes and placed in the shade so as to keep as cool as possible. Clean the water dish thoroughly each day before filling. An abundance of free range with will continue to shrink. With but two exceptions been a steady increase most imports since the first of June beginning with $213,000,000 and ending with over twice tenber. On the other hand for September decreased compared with the month and $335,000,000 compared record month of June, to September being $593,000 ance of trade which ran in our favor last June, he to $158,000,000 in September est figure for any month 1917. These tremendous already affecting our stock piled up during the war, are exporting largely on our exports of gold and freely used in exchange) imports of those metals 400 for the first eight months. The foreigner gets silver to pay for his good his paper and it is his interest up that paper with his good economically permissible extent, but under a contract of free trade it would meet of foreign goods in the Aket which would overwhelm can industries. In fact, we see taking moment, with an ever-growing mentum, what was taken fore the war in Europe by when, under the Democratic free trade our trade base had been recording a morf of about $50,000,000 in oured to $19,000,000 against when war orders from more turned the scale in.

Eyelids so swollen that they stick together and loss of appetite are also evidences of this complaint. The ailment is very contagious and is distributed by the saliva discharge from the mouth and nostrils, being scattered broadcast when poultry feeding utensils are used community fashion. Prevention consists in keeping the house clean, well ventilated and disinfected, while the fowls should not be exposed to draughts which induce colds. Purchased birds should be isolated for two or three weeks and watched closely for signs of this disease before being liberated in the general flock. Quarantine Sick Birds. If roup enters the flock, isolate sick birds in warm dry places where there is plenty of fresh air and no draught. Wash the eyes and mouth of each bird with warm salt water and massage the nostrils and the eyelids in order to lessen the watery discharge accumulated there. Then wash or dip the bird's head in a solution composed of two heaping teaspoons of boracic acid or a half teaspoon of permanganate of potash in one pint of water, repeating this treatment two or three times daily. A tablespoon of peroxide of hydrogen, mixed with two tablespoons of water, and injected into the bird's nostrils with a small oil can or mediator. FARMER SHOULD KNOW VALUE OF HIS WOOD-LOT PRODUCTS Lack of familiarity with the business of timber selling usually puts the owner of a small woodland at a disadvantage, and in many regions material from the wood lot is sold for considerably less than its real value. The loss to the farmers is, in the aggregate, very large. In order to stop this loss, it is necessary that the farmer inform himself about the different kinds of grades of wood-lot products, the methods of estimating and measuring them and ascertainting their value, the methods of selling, the markets, and the current market prices. Especially does he need reliable information about the amount and real value of his standing timber and the location of good markets. Farmers' Bulletin 715, which may be bad free, contains detailed information on these points. MUTTON AND TOP An excellent way to use is to bake it with tomato paste layers of tomato sauce may be using method may be place in the baking dish fresh tomatoes or of coarse which have been either duced in volume by boiling erole place a layer of with flour, salt and peppal small bit of butter. Coarsers until the casserole being to have a layer of crumbs or cracker crumble Bake until the crumbs following this method utter, and flour in the coarsest for tomato sauce—two spoons each of butter each cup of tomatoes. NEW ZEALAND It appears that the people New Zealand spinach is likely because of the imminent green feed which can table and for poultry mals. One seed of ALL RECORDS BROKEN September imports broke all records in the history of American trade being greater than those of the previous high record month (July, 1919) by $92,000,000. September imports totaled in value $435,000,000, or almost one-fourth our total imports for the calendar year 1913, nine months of which was under protective tariff. On the other hand, the average rate of duty on all imports for the month of September last was the lowest ever recorded at our ports, being something under five and seven-tenths per cent, and realizing but $24,724,000 in customs revenues. In the month of September, 1913, the last month under the protective tariff, we imported $171,000,000 worth of foreign goods, which paid into the Federal Treasury of the United States nearly $27,000,000. Had the imports for September paid the rate of duty prevailing under the protective regime our Treasury would have garnered nearly $85,000,000 from the Federal customs houses, instead of about 30 per cent of that sum. During the first nine months of the current year we have imported $2,697,000,000 worth of foreign products, and at the rate they are now coming in the debit side of our trade ledger will total $4,000,000,000 for 1919, while the credit side will continue to shrink. With but two exceptions there has been a steady increase monthly in our imports since the first of the year, beginning with $213,000,000 in January and ending with over twice that in September. On the other hand, exports for September decreased $53,000,000 compared with the month preceding, and $335,000,000 compared with the record month of June, the total for September being $593,000,000. A balance of trade which ran $635,000,000. greens has produced more than fifty pounds of succulent food. Two or three plants are enough to supply a family and a half dozen chickens, and where more poultry are kept, a dozen plants provide feed for the fowls and for the family. The spinach is cut when needed. One New Zealand spinach plant grown by A. E. Bull, 517 East Forty-seventh street, Los Angeles, has produced more than half a hundred weigt of greens. Mr. Buell cuts the amount of greens needed for his table or his hens, and the plant keeps on producing. It is now two years old and seems not to be affected by light frosts. A heavy frost may kill the part above ground, but a new growth springs up after a few weeks. This spinach may be planted in October. It is slow in getting a start, and may not do well until spring. Charges that the War Claims Board, in allowing a claim of $3,000,000 to the Standard Steel Car Company, of Hammond, Indiana, made a present of Government funds to the amount of nearly $2,000,000 to that company; that Col. Everett S. Hughes, U.S.A., who negotiated the contract and the settlement withheld from the Claims Board information which would have saved a large sums to the Government; and that the company procured a profit allowance from the Government based on misrepresentations of its manufacturing costs, have been submitted under oath to the House committee investigating ordnance expenditures, by L. J. Blakey, a cost accountant. WAGE INCREASES The cost of living has gone up in 75 Boot and shoe factories employing 206,088 paid wages in 1918 which were 47 per cent higher than in 1913. Furniture factories are paying 54 per cent higher wages than in 1913 to 133,498 workers. The wages of 178,872 cigarmakers had gone up 62 per cent since 1913. Anaheim Gazette per year, $1.58 payable in advance. NOTICE OF ABANDONMENT OF HIGHWAY Notice is hereby given to all freeholders in the Third Road District that the hearing of the petition of Annie M. Levine et al. filed on the 21st day of October, 1919, to vacate, discontinue, abandon and abolish a certain highway (or certain highway as the case may be) in the Third Road District, in Orange County, California, has been set for Tuesday, the 18th day of November, 1919, at 10 o'clock a.m., at the room of the Board of Supervisors in the Court House at Santa Ana, California. Said road (or roads, as the case may be) is described as follows: Those certain streets and alleys in Hart's Subdivision as recorded in Miscellaneous Record Map Book 7, page 20, located in the Third Road District, commencing at the Northeast corner of Lot 42 of said Hart's Subdivision and thence North 89° 57' East 25 feet to an intersection with the center line of Lawton Street; thence North 89° 57' West along the center line of Lemon Street 695 feet to an intersection with the center line of Rowe Drive; thence South 89° 57' West along the center line of Romney Drive 335.56 feet to an intersection with the center line of Parry Avenue; thence South 9° 00' 30' West along the center line of Parry Avenue 575 feet; thence North 89° 57' East 20 feet to the Southwest corner of Lot 10; thence Northerly along lot lines to the Northwest corner of Lot 21; thence Easterly along lot lines to the Northeast corner of Lot 42 and point of beginning. Also all that portion of that certain 15 foot alley bounded on the North by Lots 21 to 27 both inclusive. Also all that portion of that certain 20 foot alley bounded on the West line of Lots 28 to 41 both inclusive. By order of the Board of Supervisors of Orange County, California Dated this 21st day of October, 1919. J. M. BACKS County Clerk of Orange County, California, and ex-Officio Clerk of the Board With but two exceptions there has been a steady increase monthly in our imports since the first of the year, beginning with $213,000,000 in January and ending with over twice that in September. On the other hand, exports for September decreased $53,000,000 compared with the month preceding, and $335,000,000 compared with the record month of June, the total for September being $593,000,000. A balance of trade which ran $635,000,000 in our favor last June, had dwindled to $158,000,000 in September, the lowest figure for any month since July, 1917. These tremendous imports are already affecting our stores of metal piled up during the war, for while we are exporting largely on a credit basis, our exports of gold and silver (now freely used in exchange) exceeded our imports of those metals by $250,000,000 for the first eight months of this year. The foreigner gets our gold and silver to pay for his goods. We get his paper and it is his intention to take up that paper with his goods. This is economically permissible to a limited extent, but under a continuing policy of free trade it would mean a freshet of foreign goods in the American market which would overwhelm American industries. In fact, we see taking place at this moment, with an ever-gathering momentum, what was taking place before the war in Europe began in 1914 when, under the Democratic policy of free trade our trade balance, which had been recording a monthly average of about $50,000,000 in our favor, turned to $19,000,000 against us in August when war orders from abroad once more turned the scale in our favor. Today there is a job for every man who will work, but radical labor is on the rampage while Europe, particularly Germany, is getting down to brass tacks, and Japan and China are multiplying their sales in the American market by three times the pre-war basis. At this rate it will not be long before the scale turns against us, and foreign competition will effect what capital is loath to employ—a lockout. Taxes, of course, can not be squeezed from bankrupt industries. Certainly the tariff remains a live issue, and as the Democratic party remains hidebound in its opposition to the protective principle, it will remain for the Republican party, controlling Congress and the presidency to make certain a large sums to the Government; and that the company procured a profit allowance from the Government based on misrepresentations of its manufacturing costs, have been submitted under oath to the House committee investigating ordnance expenditures, by L. J. Blakey, a cost accountant. WAGE INCREASES The cost of living has gone up 75 per cent since 1913, the bureau of labor statistics, department of labor, announced in a statement comparing the increase in wages to the increase in prices. Pay of steel workers, bureau announced, had risen 121 per cent since 1913. Similar figures for ten other principal industries showed wage increases from 51 per cent for persons working in lumber mills making sahes, doors and such articles, to 94 per cent for those working in sawmills. In the lumber mills of both kinds 618,613 persons are employed and in the steel and iron mills 278,072, the report says. The eleven industries for which the figures are given employ a total of nearly 2,500,000 persons. In cotton goods manufacturing plants, employing 393,404 persons, wages rose 79 per cent between 1913 and 1918. In plants manufacturing hosiery and underwear the rise between 1913 and 1919 was 84 per cent for 150,520 persons employed. Silk goods factories are paying wages 91 per cent higher than in 1913 to 108,170 workers. Woollen and worsted plants paid wages in 1918 which were 93 per cent higher than in 1913, the 1919 figures being unavailable. These plants employ 163,976 persons. Workers in men's clothing factories, totaling 225,719, have had a 71 per cent wage increase since 1913.

In a casserole place a layer of meat dredged with flour, salt and pepper and add a small bit of butter. Continue the layers until the casserole is full, arranging to have a layer of buttered bread crumbs or cracker crumbs as a cover. Bake until the crumbs are brown. In following this method use tomato, butter, and flour in the correct portions for tomato sauce—two level table-spoons each of butter and flour for each cup of tomatoes.

Whether or not Orange County will have a county free library service for schools, with a main library in Santa Ana and branches in the various school districts, is a question that is on the county clerk's calendar for a hearing before the board of supervisors on December 9. Mrs. G. H. Goodale of Anaheim, president of the district Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers' Associations; Mrs. Charles Harvey of Brea and upwards of thirty other citizens of various sections of the county appeared before the supervisors and presented plans for the formation of the free library service. Petitions, signed by 200 taxpayers, and asking the establishment of the service, were presented by Mrs. Harvey, who stated that in soliciting the signatures she had been refused in but one instance. Frank Thompson, postmaster at Garden Grove, presented several letters he had received from various counties where the free library service has been installed. Facts and figures relative to the project were given by him. The sections it is proposed to serve through the proposed library system are all outside of incorporated cities and library districts as they now exist. The signatures in the petition presented by Mrs. Harvey were all obtained outside incorporated cities and library districts. The petitioners who appeared before the Board of Supervisors Wednesday favor what is known as the separate county library system, under which the state librarian names the librarians who would serve in the various districts. Under a second plan, favored by number of taxpayers, the county government would handle the affairs of the library system. This plan is known as the contract system. —Radiantfire— The New Gas Heater, built for your unused fireplace.
