Sze5edin is a place Of considerable
Importance as q manufacturing town
it contains about $4,000 Inhabitants.
and is the capital of the county of Csm.
grad, in southeastern Hungary. There.
for more than thirteen years, a gang Of
malafactors, living partly in and partly
out OF the city, has established a perfect
reign of terror. Incendiarism, murder
robbery, burglary, extortion, all forms
OF crimes of violence have been the or.
der OF the day; and the inhabitants.
those Of them at least who are not So.
cretly Unidentified with the gang, have
scarcely dared to venture out-of-doors
unarmed in the daytime, while after
dark they never stirred from home, but
FABRICATED themselves in their own
houses. In 1860 this band of murder
GUS rulfians fell under the leadership Of
a brgand named Sander, a name, by
the way, distinguished in Hungarian
history, and especially during the me.
morable struggle with Austria in 1849.
Macy Sander having been one of the
bravest of Kossuth's partisans. Since
1860 the reign OF terror has been
complete; the most fiendish crimes
have been committed publicly in broad
daylight, and it has not been possible
to obtain redress or protection. And
Because the judicial and admin
Istratlve functionaries of Szegedin and
the neighboring districts were members

Raising Chickens.

| desire to write what | know of rails
ing turkeys and chickens. The recipes
given for curing chickens of the gapes.
such as whites Of eggs, corn meal with
pepper, wheat soaked in turpentine.
and a number of others, aro of little il
any value, The gapes in chickens are
caused by small worms getting into the
windpipe. | have raised thousands upon
thousands of chickens, bought and sold
chickens, md believe that gapes is a
contagious disease, for my chickens
never had them until l brought strange
chickens. have tried many cures, and
there are none that amount to ANYTHING
except the horsc-hair. BY inserting the
horse-hair in the chickens windpipe
You draw Che small red worm out. and
this ut n c relieves the chicken. and
the gapes are cured.
In regard 10 raising turkeys, the best
plan is to feed them on milk made into
a cheese with wheat and wheat screen
inss. In time of rain keep them in the
dry, for when they get wet they get
drasSl@d and die. Corn meal / have
tried, and upon a clear examination |
find that it does not agree with them,
