T. j. Cope Of Hemphill, Greeubush, he does

cure, and gives The following;

chickens through the disease mentioned Of ate hare fed

which they aye kept night and in the morning until bsy
esses Of sapes since this regime has been pursued
The CHAIRSAS-My chicken mover have the gspes
since adopted the plan Of mixing the meal the day
before il is fed TO tho chickens. This allows it to
swell in the dsh instead of in the chicken.
DR. NA1ERBURr-I want to know If there is any
body here WHO ever saw one Of these said worms that
live in chickens thIosis. would give something for
the sight of one

He wants to know what will cure that disease. Per-
hans some other correspondent will tell him. | would

EXPORTING IsDIAS corn.
SoLos RoBIssOS-Another letter inquiries how long
American grown Indian corn has been exported TO
England and it is generally used by the Eagsh
al article of food or feed for fattenng cattle &c.
Judge MEIGs--In ls4s, during the ish famine, the
frrt 10 any extent was exported. 1t 10 not well liked
as food there.
UEyRY s. CLUBB-That is because it is so apt to
spoil the passage. IL has not that sweet taste there
that il has here.
The CHAIRnAS-That is a good deal owing to the
cooking. Those unacquainteo with corn meal never
cook it enough. Mush needs two hours boiling
SoLON RoBISsoS-It is also the fault of grinding 1t
too fine. The English grind the corn aud bolt It
like -four. That absolutely spois corn meal Exported
co, should always be kiln dried.
PAUL STILLMAs-I know that II may be shipped
ard kept sweet for have eaten it in the West iudies
as good as at home The following ID good recipe
for making corn bread: Mix with four cups of corn
mead one cup of wheat -four Dissolve In cap OF hot
water one teaspOOnfu of carbonate OF sOda-Or by
weight one drschm-wirh which thoroughly wet up
the meal-and If egg or two IS added all the bet
ter: then mix in little water one half of the same
measure or an equal weight OF murlac acid, and STIR
il iholouuh hi, with the mass. Spread in tin pie-pan
and bake Immediately in quick oven. In this recipe
the carbonate Of soda and muriatc acid combine and
forming muriGte of soda common salt give out
carboBic acid gas initiate raIse the bread. The
salt formed in sing the bread Is more than should
be used were added before its combination, and en-
tiiey avoids the common objection, where saleratus Is
used, of having potash In the bread
