CHOLERA CURE.

AS soon as symptoms of cholera appear,
clean up your poultry houses and complete
ly shower the floor with watering pot with
one'half per cent. of sulphuric acid, and the
yard so far as practicable, treat in the same
way. Feed nothing but cooked food-very
sparingly. Use the Douglas Mixture in the
drink freely. Remove the fowls that are
diseased to warm, dry room. Take blue
mass and cayenne pepper, each one ounce,
camphor gum half an ounce and a teasnoon-
ful OF laudnum ; mix well and make info
pills OF ordinary size. Give one pill every
hour until purging ceases. Then take two
ounces each of alum resin, copperas, lacsul-
phur and cayenne pepper, pulverize and
mix. Feed three tablespoonfuls of the DOW
der with one quart of boiled or soft feed,
rms powder may also be fed as preventive

ERRORS IN THE POULTRY YARD.

Many errors ar8 liable to occur with be-
s'hners at poultry raising, for even the vet
Grams are not free troM mistakes at times.
In selecting the breed large majority pay
greater regard to color and shape than tn
more desirable qualities 1t is well to know
that the characteristics OF the breeds shanld
be understood if ao mistakes are TO occur
But, after breeder has become perfectly
familiar with all that pertains to his choice
OF fowls, the common routine OF the poultrv
yard next requires attention. The times of
feeding should be regular, certain hours be-
ing hxed upon for that purpose, bat there
are very few who thus systematically feed
their fowls. Water should be kent in the
presence of poultry at all times. and if
should not only be clean and pure, but fresh.
ana yet this important matter is overlooked
by many. Warmth in winter is very essen
flal to laying, being as importa Mt as full
supply of feed, but every fowl house is not
warm and comfortable. The prevention of
dampness in the house avoids croup, which
Is terrible >courge in a flock, but the small
leaks here and there are nor regordad oe
dangerous matters by the average breeders.
Even the height of the roosts and construc-

TO affect the profits from poultry than many
for high roosts cause deformed feet
and poor nests will not be occupied by the

matters, which are usually overlooked, but

AFTER all the talk about poisoning from
Paris green it is well to give the testimony
of the New York Agricultural Experiment
Station: "One part of Paris green, mixed
with 200 parts of ground limestone proved
entirely successful against the larvae of the
potato beetle. Great care is, however, re-
qaired to secure thorough admixture of
the two substances where SO small proper
ton ct the poison is used. In this dlutien
Paris green seems to lose its danger to the
human family, as we can scarcely imagine
injurious resalts coming from its use to the
careful man."

be found very satisfactory to construct a
marker with short runners like those of a
sled and mark out the rows in the finely
pulverized soil. This makes a narrow and
straight furrow, both very desirable in nlant-
