London.--A modern pled piper, who lures ghosts instead of rats, has all the engagements he can handle these days. He is Robert King, of Hampstead, and he travels about Europe ridding haunted houses of their wraiths, casting out devils and other such odd jobs. ' King modestly admits that h« lam a way with ghosts. "First I diagnose the cause," he said, "and if it is caused by a dead person, I attempt to cleanse the room. Disturbances can be broken up by a stream of concentrated thought that has the same action as a pin on a bubble. This stream is fortified by a religious ritual. King recently was called to a house. Its occupants sensed a peculiar atmosphere. one of depression and extreme sadness. He was told there also were mysterious knocks, creaks and shadows. "I stayed in the hall alone," said King. "Soon I sensed a disturbance that was like a current of air. I followed it', it lead me to a room at t)ie top of the stairs. There was the center of the psychic disturbance. It was tremendous, a kind of epileptic storm. The room was saturated with violent feeling,. rage and murderous hate. "I was able to visualize the cause. I discovered that a woman had been ipurdered by her husband. I saw him kill her. She had betrayed him. He had discovered her sin. "Having discovered the origin of the malevofent feeling, I set about to cleanse it. The spirits left the room. The house became healthy again. There were no more knocks or creaks."

Is not sanitation but proof that sanitation is needed," says Prof. B. L. Brunett of the New York state veterinary college at Cornell university. "Sanitation," he says, "is built around the knowledge of the manner In which disease enters the flock and how disease spreads after It is in the flock." Treatment is practical In only a few cases. The average life of a chicken Is so short that the owner cannot afford to have a hen sick long. She cannot make up for lost time and Is then a total loss. So attempts to control diseases should be preventive^ When new birds are added to the flock. Doctor. Brunett advises keeping these new birds in an isolated house for at least four weeks. Many flocks have had chicken pox and cholera introduced by new birds. A hospital or isolation pen should be part of the equipment on any poultry farm. The treatment of all diseases, and par ticularly of colds, should be in the hospital. • Many plants are building manure houses. Tapeworms are spread by Insects, principally flies. The insects get the tapeworm eggs from the ma nure. Roundworms are spread by eggs which get into the bird's food and drink. Anything that can be done to keep down Insect life in the manure reduces the number of parasites In the flock. Some poultrymen have found It necessary and profitable to screen the poultry houses and build manure storages to keep out flies and other Insects; be says. Select Only Vigorous Parents for Breeders As a general rule any young bird of either sex that has been sick and- out of condition should be rejected from the breeding pen. Only heafthy, vlg orous fowls can be expected to be prof itable, and there Is no more necessary measure for securing such vigor than breeding only from vigorous parents However, the occurrence of some sllghi dlarrhoeal trouble In growing chicks due quite possibly to injudicious feed ing, need Dot necessarily condemn it. If the trouble Is evidently fully recov ered from and the chick develops fully Into a healthy individual. Suspicion should rest upon the unfortunate bird however, and it should definitely show that It has not been injured by sickness before It Is chosen to enter s breeding pen. Corn is the most important fattening grain, but it may be mixed, ground into meal, with such foods as boiled potatoes and table scraps to cheapen the cost of fattening a bird for tbe table.-- Rural New Yorker. ."-T Planning Years There Is no better time to plan your poultry activities for the coming year than now. Start the year right, keep going in the right manner, and finish np In the right way. if you want maximum success from your poultry. Don't overlook the scientific side of the business. You must have a knowledge of the scientific principles related to the many problems of feeding, hreedlag and management and ibost Important of all, apply them. Here are four guide posts to successful poultry farming. With the proper management In each of these departments, you can put your bqglneas on a better paying basis. Scaly Leg Treatment ^Nicotine sulphate has proved to be a satisfactory Ingredient for treating scaly leg, according to Wallace's Farmer. The treatment recommended to rid the fowls of this mite is as follows: Dissolve a quarter of a bar of laundry soap in boiling water, add water up tc a gallon and put In one and one-fourth teaspoonfuls of concentrated nicotine sulphite (Black Leaf 40). Hold the legs of the fowls In this solution until they are thoroughly wet. Poultry Facts Use only sound and clean filters OH) enp flats In the cases. Pack all eggs with small end down.

Gold Smuggled Out of Egypt by Caniel Conroyt Cairo.--New drama in the form of gold smuggling by caniel convoys has come to the Egyptian deserts and caused the camel corps to redouble its vigilance in Its new task of helping to enforce the government's gold ban export: * . ° A considerable quantity of the $74,- 000,000 gold In Egypt, mostly hoarded by the peasants, has been smuggled out of the country since the government abandoned the gold standard in September. The^burnlng sands of the Sinai desert have resounded to the crunch of camel convoys pursued by the- camel corps. Large hauls have been made, but many J>fg convoys, have gotten through to Palestine and thence to Syria, where the gold Is sold to French agents. . "' ' Most of the gold feft In Egypt is In the possession of the peasants in the form of coins, ingots, and ornaments. Many have felt the lure of the high price for gold now being offered in Eutope and have sold their belohg- Ings to speculators. The Arabs in Transjordanitt end the Fledjaz, who were paid in geld by the British government in reward for their services during the World- war, are known to be disposing of their hoardings. v: \N$SSpl POB COMPLETE IlfFORMATION OH * £' » FELECTRIC HOTBEDS".^ Lsirt apring and summer, track farmers and greemboaw; Rien inu Statement of the Ownership, Managi ment, Etc., Required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912, Of The McHenry Plaindealer, published weekly, at SLcHenry, IU^ for April 1, 1932.
