CALoMEL FOR PoULrRY DIsEAsE-The
Lexington (Ky) Gazette contains the follow
ing item, which will be interesting to poultry
raisers:
" DR.. May informs US that, after repeated
experime ents, he is satisfied that the disease
prevailing among the poultry in this section
is an affection Of the liver and that it must
be treated accordinly. lie advises forty
grains of calomel to half a gallon Of meal
twice week TO fifty or sixty fowls. Since
he mas pursued this treatment he has lost
none
We are satisfied, says the Nashville Union
and Dispatch, from experiment, that calomel
will be found very effective in preventing
and curing the Diseases which kill so many
chickens.
The latest and perhaps most satisfactory
explanation of the origin and significance of
Of the K K. K, is that of the Memphis
Avalanche:
Ku-Klux Kkan is Hebrew term, and, if
not found IN the Talmud is met with IN a
very old Jewish work, entitled q" A True and
Authentic History Of the Great Rebellion Of
the Hebrews against the Ancient Egyptian
King Pharob, g. G. 1000" In this work
the orthograpby is thus "Cu Clux Clan;
and is interpreted IN the English language,
the Straw Club, which is supposed to al
! lude TO the fact that Pharoh required the
! hod carriers to furnish their own straw and
alse to the proverb, known to be Of ancient
/ Hebrew origin, "Straws show which way
| the wind blows"
HARD on THEM-The following resolu-
tions were adopted at a meeting Of the
/ Democracy. Of Hancock county, Indiana,
/ held recently:
Resol6sd. That all such creatures as
| Lincoln, the tyrant; Stanton the traitor,
Butler, the woman insulter and thief, ere the
| elect of the devil, and that there viii be a
dav of ioy for earth children when the last
/ Of the trinmvirate Of demons shall be called
to his last account 70 enjoy forever the
birthstone hospitality of the Prince Of Radi-
Gals. who VIII place them high IN the walls
Iof perdiction for carrying out his principles
Iln this world-pr0m0ting strife on earth, as
