koup, or malignant catarrh is one OF the
most prevalent and dangerous of poultry
diseases. 1t is usually caused BY lack OF
proper care and shelter for the fowls.
Damp, illy-ventilated and filthy hen houses
are the most prolific causes of this disease,
Insufficient or unsuitable food will also pro-
duce It by affecting the blood. Following
are some OF the somptoms: The corner Of
the eye and the roof Of the mouth ase filled
with hard, yellow matter; the eye is closed
with scales of the "stutf'' which holds the
IDS together, while watery substance runs
from them. The fowl sits still, moving only
when driven.
An experienced poultry fancier gives the
following receipt for the cure of this dis
ease: Wash the eyes in warm water. in
which small pinch of suphate of zinc is
dissolved. DO this by injecting the wash
with small syringe. Also wash the mouth
and thoroughly cleanse it with the same So
luton. Then drop pinch Of chlorate of
potash down the throat aud give the fowls
some warm, soft food, bread and milk or
corn meal mush, for few days. Keep the
house perfectly clean and fumigate it with
burned sulphur.-Er.

FARM LUXURIEs.

It is something to be wondered at, that
so many farmers families are so blind to.
or, rather, So wlllfuly neglectful of, their
opportunities to have and enjoy many of the
physical luxuries of life. We often see
homes about which no fruit trees grow, and
the garden. if there is one, is but little more
than patch of potato es and bed of onions,
with perhaps few forlorn-looking cab
bages.

THE OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT.

On Wednesday we met 4 friend in Fen.
church street whom we thought to be in In
dia. II have been and am just back" was
his reply to our question, land have only
time to tell you that good crop of wheat
will be grown this scasen, especially in the
Punjaub Districts" In confirmation of this
the samples of both red and white now ar
rived in London are found to be of superior
quality. Thus after short crop in Aus
tralia GENES full one in HindOstan, and the
custom gained in the markets of England,
Holland, Belgium and Southern France is
likely 70 be maintained.
Australia has but an irregular wheat crop,
poor in one celony and only very middling
for quantity elsewhere. The first transac-
tions, therefore. after harvest, seem likely
to be the lowest. Shippers are now asking
advanced but still moderate rates.
Egypt is enjoying fine season and is
likely, in May to have an average surplus of
wheat and beans for export.
Algeria as an early source of sapply to
France, promises to have good crops after
recent welcome rains.
California has had an unusual rainfall for
March, and farmers are jnbilant with en-
larged expectations.
The Western United States do not send
definite estimates of prospects, but generally
the season promises an average harvest,
outside the reach of the flooded districts. In
May, 1881, new wheat from the Southern
States was on offer in New York.
France and Europe, including Russia, ac-
knowledge good prospects, present expecta-
tions being, hewever, mixed with fears that
the good season may have reverses in store.

OSE Of the many elements of success in
farming is III keeping posted up with the
times. This in d great measure may be OBJ.
taned by reading our best agricultural
Journals, and he who is a close student can
learn much that he can use to his own ad-
vantage and at small cost. The habtuai
carelessnsss which one meets with among
farmers, especially in the matter of small
things, is to be deprecated. Many things
are allowed to go to waste for want of pro-
per care. The farming tools are left where
last used, exposed to the changes of weather
and sooner or later become useless from
rust and decay. The natural wear is quite
an annual tax, even where properly cared
for. Some who are locked upon as good
practical farmers do not give the needed at
tention to small things, and as consequence
loss is sustained. This in part is owing
to tho laxity in system and order which is
so essential in all kinds Of business

peculiar feature is that it is never failure.
N'ne-tenths Of the rainfall is during four
months OF the year, ending about the 2Oth

close OF this period. In some districts,
where the soil is a sandy loan, the crop

POULTRY DISEASES.

Cankcr in fowls should not be neglected,
'or lt IS often forerunner Of roup in its
worst form. We have found chlorate of
potash an effecual remedy fer all except
the very worst cases. Put pinch of the
dry powder on the canker spots, and keep
the fowl from water for an hour or so. Two
or three applications will generally effect a
cure. In bad cases touch the canker spots
with stick of lunar caustic and give a weak
solution of alum, or OF chlorate OF potash
is cheap drug, and can be obtained in pow-
dered form at any drug store. Keep fowls
that have canker apart from the rest of the
flock, aad thoroughly cleanse all drinking
vessels, teed boxes, etc, before they are
again used for other fowls.
Bumble-feot is wart corn a lump on the
bottom of the foot, and is usually caused by
Jumping from high perch on 10 hard
floor. When the lump appears to costain
matter, cut it open; press the matter cut,
wash the foot with warm CASTLE soap suds,
and keep the fowl in a separate coop on a
bed OF straw until the foot is we'll. 10 pre-
vent this disease put the roosting perches
nearer the floor, or cover the floor with four
or five inches of dry earth, or else make a
ladder tor the use of the fowls.
.N CROP-BoUND.
When you see one of your fowls going
around with a crop that looks twice as big
as 1t ought to, catch her, and if the crop is
hard and swollen, you may conclude that
there is some obstruction in the passage
from the crop to the stomach. Pour some
warm water down the throat and then kaead
the crop gently until the contents seem soft;
then hold the head down and the bill open
and work at the crop few minutes longer
Next give tablespoonful of castor oil and
shut the fowl up without food for twelve
hours or more. If this course OF treatment
does not benefit the fowl, cut open the crop
and remove the contents with a tablespoon
handle. Make the cut, which should be
about an inch long, near the top OF the crop
After the crop has been cmptied, oil the
finger and pass it carefully as far as posi-
BILE down the passage to the stomach. Lastly
sew up the cut, but don't sew all the edges
up together take two or three stitches in
the cut in the crop, and then sew up the
outer skin separately. Once upon time
your correspondent sewed the edges of both
cuts all up together, but somehow that hen
didn't get along very well-in fact she up
and died. Keep the fowl on soft cooked
food and but little OF that, and away from
the other fowls for week or so. Give no |
drink for two or three days after the opera
ton. In making the cut take care not to
injure any large blood vessel.

PUBLISH THE PENSION LIST.

Objection has been made in Congress
to the publication of the pension list on
the ground that it would humiliate the
veterans who carry the scars of war up
on their bodies. The objection is not
V lid. The heroes who we've wounded
in the service of their country have such
a right to pension that they need not
shrink from having the fact known that
they receive It. The sneaking rogues
who have secured the entrance Of the !
names upon the pension list by fraud are
the ones who would vince We're the list
published. 1t would make a sensation
throughout the Union were the list of
pensioners Of each COMMUNITY made
public. People who have not the shadow
of right to be pensioned would be found
drawing money from the government
regularly. Perhaps it would be well for
Congress to order that the list be publish
ed a year hence, giving t,.aee who are
fraudulently drawing pensions time to
remove their names from the list and thus
escape lasting disgrace. But the list
ought to appear a. .oGn as next year Ger.

Invitation.

Strangers are invited 10 visit
our store, when in I'hiladcl-
phia, to leave packages there,
and to make a convenience
of it generally. 1t is a handy
place, right by the new City
Hall, at the very center of the
city. 1t answers our purpose
to welcome you, and to pro-
vide for such of your wants
as we can.
The store is about twice
as large as it was two Or
three years ago; made SO by
digging under ground and
building overhead, and by en-
tension on Chestnut street.
Parts of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one of the most
comfortable parts is now be-
ing got ready for the rest and
refreshment of strangers.
One of the pleasant things
about the store always has
been the fact that you can
walk all over it, either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.
We know very we'll thatmost
of you come to us for a good
share of your supplies; why
should we spoil your visit by
intruding goods upon your
attention, when you come to
see the place?
But perhaps you arc not
coming to Philadelphia just
now. Very we'll; take 4 cool
er time. It's cool enough in
the store, when you get here.
You can write for any goods
that you may happen to
want; and get them, proba-
bly,, just as well as if you
we're on the spot. Any how,
you know, you can return
whatever you get that you
don't like.
We sell more sorts Of
things than we can put into
an advertisement. So, what
ever you want, suppose you
drop us a line. Well help
you if we can.
