worse  if  driven-  on  tbe  road.  He  thrashes 
around  awfully  at  night,  gets  up  in  crib, 
sometimes  tries  to  roll  in  stall,  do  you 
think  that  mi^ht  cause  the  lameness? 
Saco,«Me.  ®-  B- 
It  is  impossible  for  anyone  at  a  dis¬ 
tance  to  diagnose  mysterious  lameness  as 
a  careful  examination  is  absolutely  neces¬ 
sary.  Allow  tbe  horse  a  roomy  box  stall 
as  lie  may  be  inju ring' himself  in  tbe  or¬ 
dinary  stall.  Employ  the  local  graduate 
veterinarian,  to  make  the  necessary  ex¬ 
amination.  -A.  s.  A. 
Cough 
I  have  a  nice  large  horse  that  has  had 
a  cough  for  two  years.  W  ill  you  tell  me 
what  you  think  might  be  good  for  him. 
This  horse  is  in  good  condition'.  E.  B.  S. 
The  teeth  should  be  attended  to  by  an 
expert,  then  wet  all  feed  and  have  the 
stable:  kept  clean  and  well  ventilated  to 
prevent  irritating  gases.  Twice  daily 
give~’Ualf  an  ounce  of  glyco-heroiu  and  if 
neeessarv  increase  to  three  such  doses  a 
day.  ‘  A.  S.  A. 
Feather-pulling  Ducks 
I  have  24  ducks  that  are  not  feathered 
yet,  and  they  have  lately  began  to  eat  the 
down  from  one  another.  Can  you  tell  me 
what  the  trouble  is.  as  1  should  like  to 
stop  it?  This  is  the  first  time  that  I  have 
had  them  do  it.  W.  C. 
Xew  Jersey. 
Close  confinement  and  idleness  encour¬ 
age  this  vice  of  feather  pulling.  The  of¬ 
fenders  may  sometimes  be  detected  and 
removed  from  the  tloek  or  placed  with 
older  birds  already  feathered  out;  if  the 
lmbit  becomes  general,  however,  the  birds 
should  be  removed  to  a  new  grass  range, 
or,  better  still,  given  their  liberty  until 
they  forget  each  other  in  their  new  sur¬ 
roundings.  If  the  vice  is  not  broken  up, 
the  consequences  are  apt  to  be  disastrous. 
M.  B.  D. 
Termination  of  Tenancy 
Would  you  tell  me  how  long  a  notice 
has  to  be  given  a  tenant  here  in  Con¬ 
necticut.  where  they  have  not  rented  for 
any  length  of  time  before  they  should 
move?  a.  c. 
Connecticut. 
This  is  either  a  tenancy  at  will,  that, is, 
that  the  tenant  may  stay  at  the  will  <>f 
the  landlord,  and  this  may  be  terminated 
by  mere  entry  without  previous  notice 
or  demand  of  possession,  or  it  possibly 
is  a  tenancy  from  month  to  month,  in 
which  case  if  the  rent  is  due  and  unpaid 
for  more  than  nine  days  the  lease  may  he 
terminated  by  the  landlord  by  written 
notice  to  the  tenant  of  at  least  10  days 
to  quit  possession,  which  notice  shall  he 
in  substantially  the  following  form:  *T 
hereby  give  you  notice  that  you  are  to 
quit  possession  of  the  (laud,  building  or 
apartment  as  the  ease  may  be),  now  oc¬ 
cupied  by  you,  on  or  before  the  (here 
insert  the  day,  place,  date  and  signa¬ 
ture).”  If  110  rent  is  due  the  notice 
should  be  of  at  least  30  days  to  be  on 
the  safe  side.

Danish  Agricultural  Expert  Visits  New 
York  State 
A.  P.  Jacobsen,  agricultural  counselor, 
sent  by  the  (Jovernment  of  Denmark  to 
study  agricultural  conditions  in  the 
United  States  and  Canada,  arrived  in 
New  York  in  June,  and  after  first  visit¬ 
ing  the  United  States  Department  of  Ag¬ 
riculture  at  Washington  made  a  trip 
through  the  Western  States,  as  far  as 
California,  then  to  Southern  Canada  and 
finally  came  to  New  York  State.  After 
visiting  Cornell  Agricultural  College  he 
came  to  Albany,  being  invited  by  Com¬ 
missioner  Wilson  to  see  some  of  the  op¬ 
portunities  which  New  York  offers  to 
farmers.  The  writer  had  previously  cor¬ 
responded  with  Mr.  Jacobsen  while  he 
was  yet  in  Denmark,  and  urged  him  not 
to  overlook  New  York  on  this  trip.  The 
fact  is,  that  abroad  the  mifortuuate  im¬ 
pression  still  prevails  that  only  the  M  est 
and  Canada  are  to  he  considered  as  of¬ 
fering  opportunities  to  farmers  coming 
from  other  couutnes,  New  York  State 
not  being  worth  while  looking  at.  M  hen 
Mr.  Jacobsen  at  last  arrived  at  Albany 
Charles  W.  T.aruion,  Chief  of  the  Bureau 
of  Statistics-,  met  him,  and  in  the  few 
days  he  bad  left  before  leaving  for  Dou- 
nutrk  took  him  by  automobile  on  a  trip 
through  Albany.  Schoharie,  Delaware, 
Otsego.  Montgomery,  Herkimer,  Schenec¬ 
tady.  Fulton,  Saratoga.  Washington  and 
Rensselaer  counties.  The  writer  at  the 
time  was  visiting  a  (Herman  farmer.  W. 
( ierhardt.  who  four  years  ago  bought  a 
ruu-down  farm  near  Middleburg.  in 
Schoharie  County.  One  day  Mr.  Larmon 
ami  Mr.  Jacobsen  arrived  there  unex¬ 
pectedly.  and  it  certainly  was  a  joy  to 
notice  bow  this  Danish  expert  admired 
the  good  work  done  by  this  industrious 
Oermun  farmer.  Nowhere  on  his  whole 
trip  laid  lie  seen  finer  buckwheat,  or  oats, 
and  he  only  felt  sorry  that  lie  had  not 
known  beforehand  what  New  York  State 
offered,  as  he  certainly  would  have  cur¬ 
tailed  his  trip  iu  other  sections  ami  spent 
move  time  here.  Even  as  it  was  he  had 
become  fully  convinced  tbnt  in  no  other 
section  he  had  seen  could  a  farmer  com¬ 
ing  from  abroad  find  such  opportunities 
to  find  a  home  as  here  in  New  York.
