ROUP.

The symptoms of reup are hoarseness,
rattling in the throat, bad breath, and rum
ming at the nostrils. If taken in hand at
this stage, the disease can be easily cured.
First give dose, say dessertspoonful of
castor oil at night, and next day give three
or four drops of turpentine and one drop of
carbolic acid. For several days afterwards
give pepper or ginger and pulverized char
coal in the food. and Douglass mixture in
the drinking water. This will not fail if the
fowls are taken in hand IN time.
Another remedy that has proved good is
coal oil in half teaspoonful doses internally,
and a little injection upon each nostril after
wiping.
A third remedy, or perhaps | ought to
put it first, is the old reliable German Roup
Pills. They will cure in every case where
cure is possible, and many poultry keepers.

Roup is contagious, and as soon as it APP
pears in a flock, the sick fowls should at
once be separated from the well ones, and

Fowls that have recovered from the roup
should not be returned to the flock until
week after the symptoms have disappeared.
When ulcers have formed in the throat,
In addition TO the other treatment, apply
pulverized chlorate of potash twice day
until cured. Bat when the disease has pro-
gressed SO far that the whole head is affect

waste valuable time doctoring that hen.
Cut her head off and get her out of her
misery.
Finally, avoid damp, filthy yards and
houses, crowding too many fowls in one
building, roosting in cool draughts, expos
ure to cold and wet during autumn, winter,
and early spring months, and you will have
but little cause to fear the roup among your
towls.-Praiaie Farmer.

THE ART OF SALAD MAKING.

We have the following chapter on this
very important subject from correspon-
dence in the Country Gentleman
more liberal use of green food would
add greatly to the health of the farming
community, and also to the deicacies of
their tables. Water-cresses, eaten with
only little salt, are very beneficial to the
physical system, and they should be more
generally cultivated. But at present they
are rarely met with, excepting in city mar
kets, and then they are beyond the purses
of the poor. In England they are grown
wherever a little brook runs, and are sold at
penny quart. There is always tend
ency to fever in the summer season. and
whatever will cool and cleanse the blood is
desirable for a diet. Water-cresses abound
in these properties. They can be kept fresh
in cold water, and should be eaten with a
little salt like radish. For garnish to
dishes of meat they are also very pleasing.
Water-cresses will grow readily from seeds,
and they can be sown on the edges of a
fountain, a brook, or pond, and will grow
at any season when the water is not frozen.
Lettuce is also of great value as a cooler to
the blood in the spring and summer, and it
should always be served at the dinneF table
ii not at breakfast also.
Farmers eat too much fat meat and too
little green food to sustain the system in
proper condition. Give Frenchman or
German a head of lettuce, a couple OF hard
boiled eggs, with oil, vinegar, salt and pep
per and loaf of bread, with cup of coffee,

overfeeding them. The mixture of bran
and potatoes with some hot water, made
into balls as big as an ordinary potato,
ought to be thrown to them hot. and the
feeding with it ought to take place at mid
day. Feed them for the third time at, say,
O'Clock with corn, as above. The same
rules must be observed for the chickens des-
tined for the kitchen, except that the balls,
instead of being mixed with bran, must be
mixed with Indian cornmeal (maize meal),
and more buckwheat be given to them
Now, there is a fourth NEAL to which both
classes of fowls must be admitted in the fol-
lowing manner: Towards evening, and as
soon as you see them dispensing TO 60 to
roost, drive them into your vegetable gar
den, where they will neither scratch nor de-
stroy anything, but clear it Of vermin in no
time, and in a wonderful manner. After a
few days you will see them all hurry out as
soon as you will open the gate OF the en-
closure, and as soon as they have cleared
your vegetables from vermin as eagerly run
back to roost in their respective compart-
ments. They and your garden will profit
amazingly by their visits. We must further
insist on recommending the hen house to be
kept clean. 1t must be thoroughly white
washed two or three times year. nothing
being better to prevent the vermin which
always haunt the feathered tribe from prop
agating. Always have stone Or wooden
trough (the latter preferable, as being NOV
ed more easily) full of clean water, and
carefully swept daily with broom, and do
not forget to keep the hen house and the en-
closure provided at all times with fragments
Of oyster shell burned and pounded, or NOR
tar from old walls. or fresh chalk If you
have no other at hand, also eggshells well
pounded, so not to teach the birds to eat
their eggs. Have your hen house and en-
closure so situated that you can remove
them to 'other place, not far off, every
half year, and dig up the old place and
plant cabbage, especially red ones, which
will thrive wonderfully well; in fact, any
vegetable will that requires a rich manure.

House of Correction for six months.
A constable took him in charge to de-

rather pleased at the idea Of securing
board and lodging for six months, he
was not handcuffed. As the train was

LET THE GOSPEL SEAT BE Son.
Some people are fond of objecting to
cushioned churches, and intimating
that those who resort to them for the
purpose of hearing the Gospel, want
to be "carried to the skies on fOwery

unfair one. Theatres have cushioned
seats, and SO do street cars, and it is
seldom that we hear people disturbing
themselves about the luxury and ex-
travagance of either.-[Philadelphia
