Chicken Cholera.

is highly probable that cholera in
fowls originates by contagion and is in
PRODUCED into flocks either by newly
acquired infected fowls, by infected
manure or feathers. or sometimes by
the bod es of dead birds brought into,
or near the poultry yardb dogs or 9th
er animals. In most cases the disease
can be traceI to the first mentioned
source. As the virus remains in a fixed
form it is not probable that the disease
germs are taken into the body with food
and other matter VII CHI has been con-
taminated.
Preventive measures, in this disease
as, indeed, in most others when the
causes and mode Of propagation are
known. are the safest resort. Where d
first and most reliable symptom is the
coloratiou of the kidney excretion WHICH
is voided by fowls with the offal. This,
in health, is readily distinguished by its
white appearance, but when the fowl is
attacked by cholera this kidney cXcre-
ment changes its color from white to
pale, and then to deep yellow, and in
extreme cases it becomes green. At
about this stage an obstinate diarrhPa
sets in. This symptom being discover
ed, the infected fowls should be at once
killed, care being taken that no blood
is left where the other fowls may get at
it, and the bodies should be buried.
The healthy birds should be removed to
a clean piece of ground which is known
to be free from the contagfon, and the
excremont of these fowls should be in
spected daily to ascertain their condi-
ton, and to detect the sick birds. IT
the fowls can be separated into pens of
three or four such detection will be
fastened. Before placing the birds in
new quarters it is we'll to fumigate
them with sulphur, as the feathers are
apt to convey the disease. ss
In case fowls are introduced from 9TH
er localities where the disease has been
raging. it is good policy to "quaran-
tine" them, so to speak, for three weeks
or so until they are known to be free
from the disease. Amy eggs brought
from other phces for Matching should
be cleaned ofaany excrement which may
be. ttached to them, and manure from
infected yards should not be thrown
upon land to which healthy fowls have
access. Byebserving these precautions
the disease may be excluded or xterm
mated Cures have been effected by
feeding cooked meal, red pepper. gum
powder and turpentine mixed together;
also by placing water in which bi-sul-
phate of soda, in proportion of an ounce
to a gallon, has been dis solved, where
the fowls can drink sit--Rurdt Rea0

There is tradition among the
North American Indians that the man.
moth or great buffalo roamed through
the forests within the memory of their
forefathers. The legend runs as fol-
lowsi I'm ancient times herds of man.
moths came to the Big-bone Lick and
began wholesale destruction of the
bears, buffaloes, deer and all the ami
mails created for the use of the Indians.
This so angered the Great Spirit that he
descended upon mountain, where still
may be seen the impress of his seat and
of one foot, and hurting his bolts among
them killed them all except the great
mammoth bull, who presented his
forehead to the shafts and shook
them off as they fell. At
length, missing one, 1t wounded him
in the side, and he leaped over the Wa
bash, the Illinois, and all the great
lakes, where he still lives.' The place
of his abode, with all due Difference to
the Indian chronicler, seems little in
definite.

'The Touch" or Handling" Quail
ty OF Cattle.

In Judging of cattle with reference to
their quality as beef animals, ocular in
spection is useful to limited extent,
but, certain it is, that blind butcher or
other expert will make a better selection
of cattle either for immediate slaughter
or for feeding than one Judging solely
by the eye. The hand is deity placed
upon ribs and rumps and passed along
the loins and the loose TANKS. A gentle
pressure is given by the tips of all five
fingers in a way to ascertain the soft
ness, rliability, elasticity and mobility
of the hide. ibis is accomplished both
by the pressure and by Slight thrust
given to the fingers, and ascertained by
"sense of knowledge" which is begot-
ten by experience. The hand also
grasps the hide over the ribs, taking up
a handful by which its thickness is per-
ceived, and the other points of quality
confirmed. d
No one with a modicum of experience
can thus handle a few g beef critters"
without observing notable differences in
their skins, the righteousness of the coats
of different animals, the softness, thick
ness and pliability of their hides, and
the amount of fat which underlies the
skin. He will perceive also difference
in the coarseness, softness, harshness
and wooliness or furriness of the hair,
and this is a disturbing factor in form
ing correct judgment as to the quail
ty of the beef. until one learns to allow
for it.
Health is indicated by the skin being
ih a condition to perform its important
function, hence it should be soft, fexi-
BILE and elastic, and there should be
enough of that oily or soapy secretion
which gives righteousness to the coat.
1t should also be free from Jumps or
ridges, and uniform over the tleshy
parts of the body.-Rural Ne,c Yorker.

The Importance of a law that would pro-
tect trade marks is receiving marked atten-
ton from the business public as we'll rs from
Congress, the brands ON some goods adding
largely to their commercial value, because
their merit is known to the consumer, and
the buyer looks to trademark as constituting
his security. Thus the Gorham trade mark
on sterling silverware; COlgates' mark to in :
dictate the various grades of their soaps and
toilet goods, has also very high commercial
value. The CHARTER OAK STOVE has a
peculiar value of its own which so distin-
guishes it from all others that it has acquired
very large commercial value. Lorilard
Tobaccos are goods that the consumer asks
for in the same way. The law cannot be too
severe In protecting honest manufacturers.
The burning of the great stove works gave
dealers some excuse for substituting other
stoves for the CHARTER OAK, but now that
the CHARTER OAK factory is Mt work again
turning out over 200 stoves a day, the trade
can get their orders filed promptly, and the
year 1881 bids fair to surpass all previous
years in the demand forthe famous CHARTER
OAK make. l4-2Sl
