RAISING CHICKENs.-I desire to write
what I know of raising turkeys and
chickens, The recipes given for curing
chickens of the gapes, such as whites Of;
eggs, corn meal with peper, wheat soak
ed in turpsntine, and a number of others,
are Of little il any value. The gapes in
chickens are caused by small worms get
ting into the windpipe. | have raised
thousands upon thousands OF chickens,
bought and sold chickens, and believe
that gapes is a contagious disease, for my
chickens never had them until I Brought
strange chickens. have tried many
cures, and there are none that amount
to anything except the horse hair. BY
inserting the horse hair in the chickens
windpipe you draw the small red worm
out, and this at once relieves the chicken,
and the gapes are cured.
In regard to raising turkeys, the best
plan is to feed them on milk made into
a cheese with wheat and wheat screen
ings. In time of rain keep them in tho
dry, for when they get wet they get
draggled and die. Corn meal | have
tried, and upon clear examination /
find that it does not agree with them,
and in some instances kill them. Old
turkeys I think do best out in the cold
on trees, rather than in shelteredplaces.
Let every farmer be cautious of what ho
feeds young turkeys until they are ten
weeks old. know that the foregoing is
correct, for Ihave tried many plans, and
experience is always the bestguide.--

CHOLERAIC DIARRHGA.-Pref. john
SON of Kings College Hospital has pub
lished lectures on this subject in which
opinions are advanced that contrOvert
many popular ideas. In the collapse he
sees not exhaustion but poisoned blood.
Dlarrhna is, by nature, set up to elm
mate this poison, which in the bad epi-
demic has virulence In itsaction equal
to the venom of the cobra snake. The
rule heretofore has been to quiet the it,
ritation and stop the diarrh9a by Opiates,
astringents and aromatics. This he
naturally considers fatal practice, es-
pecially If the case is o bad one, as there
by the poison is detained instead of al
lowing it to pass off. No such attempt
should be made to stop the irritation as
cOvery may be favored by dilution
through copious drinking of water, cold
or tepid, toast water, or weak tea; or
recovery may be accelerated by sweep
ing out the alimentary canal with cas-
tOr-Oil or rhubarb. Whether In cholera
times or not, people are altogether too
ready, by the remedies known to eyery
family, to check a diarrhea. The hints
is given plainly enough that something,
perhaps indigestible food, is offending,
the system and must be got rid of. To
stop this effort ofnature is to make mat
ters worse, and perhaps greatly iniure
the patient in some cases. Professor
johnson notes that cholera is born OF
filth, which is introduced through food,
air, OF water; and he urges that the most
important consideration is to prevent
the disease by purifying air and water.
Certainly the success of the New York
Board of Health in warding off the dis
ease, at the last epidemic, by most
thorough sanitary regulations, and the
disinfection of every hint of filth, was an
excellent demonstration that prevention
is the one great thing sought.
