Diseases OF Poultry.

Fowls are particularly liable to colds,
as the air-cells occupy so large part of
their physical framework. Where there
is a slight cold, put the fowl in warm,
sunny place, give warm food, and moth
ing more will be needed. The same
method should be pursued in hard colds.
If there is much fever, put four drops OF
tincture of aconite into the water, or
sweeten it, and make it little sour with
sulphuric or nitric acid. Add TO the
food pinch of ginger or cayenne pep
per. If there is much swelling about
the head, a mild purge will be useful.
The homnopaths give mercur virus for
slight colds, euphrasia for more serious
ones; each thrice daily, adding aconite
for the fever.
A roup may only begin with catarrh,
and, like roup, catarrh and bronchitis,
sometimes cause death. But how are
we to know such cases from roupp Sim.
ply by the offensive discharge at the
beak which characterizes the latter dis
ease. When the fowl has a discharge at
the beak that is not offensive, you may
call it a simple catarrh or common cold.
When the odor is bad it is roup. No
better distinction is possible in the pres
ent state of knowledge of fowl ailments.
The difficulty in telling these maladies
apart will suggest to the careful poul-
terer prompt isolation of cases where he
is not certain.
Cough may come from parasites in the
air passages. This applies more par
ticularly to the sneezing effort caused by
the cape worm in the throat of young
chickens. A spasmodic cough, lasting
q whole day even, is reported as having
accompanied the epizootic. 1t yielded
under treatment with potash
Consumption, or tubucular deposits,
may be suspected where a cough does
not yield to treatment, and admits of no
other explanation. Codliver oil in
barley meal would be the treatment if
any one really wanted to save consump-
tive fowls. They ought to be killed.
Asthma is nothing more than roup, as
far as we know, and very likely this
name may have been given to cases Of
that sort.-Anaericdn Poultry Yard.

Bit on q MOccaSin's Head,

One day last week Tom Elwood, who
is we'll known in Charlotte, was in
town and filed up pretty considerably
on the ardent. On his way home, a
colored man driving his wagon, he dis
covered moccasin snake by the road
side. He ordered his driver to stop and
get out to kill the snake. Catching his
snakeship with strong grasp in his
right hand, about amidships, the reptile
showed vigorous fight and bit Elwood
three times on the arm. Becoming in
cenSed at such treatment, he asserted
with an oath that he would not be out
done as bitist, and attempted to get
the snakes head into his own mouth
with view of returning the compli-
ment. In his attempt to do so the snake
again bit him severely on the cheek,
which only rendered him more furious.
He finally succeeded in getting a death
grip on the snake with his teeth and ac-
tually bit off its head. Strange to say,
the snakes bites, usually considered
poisonous, had no appreciate effect up
on Elwood.-Charlotte (N. CO. Observer.

die Mound Builders.

1t is supposed that the Digger Indians were
the builders of the many mounds that were
located along the large and small rivers in
the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys.
What their motives in building these mounds
were are only matter OF conjecture, but it
ia generally conceded to have been safety
to themselves and their scansy stores of
provisions in times of high water.
Most of these old mounds have been
thoughtlessly and carelessiy destroyed by
those who came into possession CT them.
The few last winters have, however. Illus
trated the wisdom of these mound builders,
and now the farmers along these rivers are
following the example of the people that pre-
coded them III the possession of toe river
banks. Quite d number Of mounds are row
beng built On the Sacramento river, on the
Yolo side, between Sacramento and Fremont.
1t is the intention of the builders to prepare
place Of safety for their stock in case Of ex-
creme high water, such as we had last winter.
The plan generally adopted is TO selsct some
convenient place adjoining the levee, and on
the land side build a mound, or extend the
inside slope of the levee back to sufficient
distance, and extending along the levee, to
make room for all the stock TO stand and be
fed on while the highest water lasts. The
place selected ia near tee barn or haystacks,
so that the cattle may be fed hanoily. A
hundred feet up and down the levee by an
hundred feet back viii make mound
enough to keep large number of
stock for a few days, and will
save a great deal CT expsnse and inconven-
fence in moving cattle off to a natural place
of safety. Many farmer paid last winter
for bringing his cattle off his place-to say
nothing of the expense of keeping them after
they were off and returning them more than
it would cost to build mound on which they
may all be kept in safety. The wonder ia
that there farmers have not built mounds be-
fore this, and q greater wonder is that all are
not doing it now. It is true, we are not GER
tain of high water the coming winter, but it
is equally true that we are not certain that
the water may not be higher than ever be-
fore The best way is to build the mound
and be on the safe side. This may be an open
winter and we may not have any very high
water. If such shall be the case, the farmers
along the rivers cannot do better than to en-
ploy every spare moment in building mounds
for future use.

peer, and though favorite with the
King, opposed those measures which led
to the revolution. When, however, his

was highly efficient, and hence was placed
in command of the forces in the South, and
after respectable degree of success, led
to occupy Yorktown while awaiting orders.
After the close of the revolution he was
sent to India, where he redeemed his pre-
yious ill-fortune by campaign of brilliant
success. He conquered Tippoo, and OBJ
tanned by treaty an immense accession of
territory to the British power. He then
returned to London, and was appointed
