TREATMENT OF RouP.


The Nature and Progressive Symptoms OF
Disastrous Ailment.
Roup is nothing more or less than
severe cold in the head and may be
either acute or chronic. Any cold is
liable to develop into roup. Catarrh is
another form of the same thing. Many
claim that canker is form Of roup; but
| have frequently had cases of canker
without any sign of roup, and vice
versa. Inever lost hen from canker;
but | can not say that of roup by any
means. The first symptoms of roup
are heavy breathing, noticed by the
distending of the throat as the fowl in
hales, sometimes accompanied by a
cough. Later there'is f9tid discharge
from the nostrils. AS fowls breathe
habitually through their nostrils, the OBJ
struction in the passage-way causes
them to open their mouths to breathe
hence the gasping. Later the discharge
dries upon the nostrils and prevents
further running of, consequently the
quantity of matter increases. Having
no outlet it flows under the eyellds,
causing them to distend, sometimes 10
the extent of binding the birds, and
death insues from starvation. Some
times froth appears at the corner Of
the eye, caused by the air passing up
the tear duct, and making little bubbles.
AS the disease advances fever sets in,
the bird loses its appetite and will stand
and drink until the water runs from its
mouth whenever it lowers its head,
thereby polluting the water and spread
ing the disease, which is highly con-
tagious. The feathers soon lose their
glossy appearance and the birds stand
moping in corner, evidently in great
pain.
AS treatment, first of all remove the
bird to warm, dry quarters; feed a
variety, with plenty of green food
onions preferred-and give little
Douglas mixture in the water. Give
also pellet of the following mixture
every morning and evening for three
days: One teaspoonful each Of cayenne,
ginger, saffron, chlorate of potash and
powdered rhubarb one teaspoonful Of
tincture of iron; three tablespoonful
(about one and one-half ounce) of n.y.
posulphite of soda and one ounce of
powdered assaf9tida. Powder and mix
well.
/ got the above recipe several years
ago, and have lost but few fowls since.
once bought a few fowls that caught
the roup in transit, and it spread,
through my neglect, until fifty-two Of
my flock had severe attacks, yet lost
but two. If the eyelids are swollen,
battle in camphorated oil. The scab
should be removed from the nostrils as
often as possible. A slight pressure Of
the finger at the back of the roof of the
mouth will cause the matter to flow
abundantly. Kerosene and cayenne
will sometimes cure light cases. Many
prominent breeders recommend it
highly; but / have found nothing that
is absolutely sure in the later stages of
the disease. The only true way to treat
it is to prevent it by careful attention to
the minor details and by proper housing
in bad weather.. r. Crosoeli, in Rural

LET me tell you little story of what

ing in on the cable cars l have frequently
noticed at certain place down town a
crowd of well-dressed women standing
on the sidewalk, as if waiting for some
thing or somebody. My curiosity has
been so often aroused in this way that a
few days ago promised my wife a new
bonnet if she would find out what the
women were waiting for. She accepted
the proposition, came down town with
me, pointed the place out to her, and
at night she was ready to report The
explanation proved to be very simple.
There is an intelligence office for female
help in the neighborhood, and these
women were there looking for servants.
By accosting the girls who might be on
their way to or from the intelligence
Office, and making bargain with them
right there on the pavement they could
save the fee charged help-seekers in the
Office. MY wife didn't find out what
the woman who keeps the intelligence
Office thinks of the women who thus

NEW USE OF FISH.
Converting Fish Refuse Into Palatable

Converting Fish Refuse Into Palatable

A remarkable and ingenious way Of
using the refuse of fish has been brought
out in Aberdeen by Messrs. Nordenfeldt
"a gun cclebrity-and Sahistrom.
They are able to convert this refuse into
various substances, such as soups,
jellies, oils, CLUES and guanos. The
method by which the refuse material is
treated need not be entered into, as the
process is of somewhat intricate and
technical character; suffice it that what
in the past has been regarded as good
for nothing is now to be turned into a
nutritious food, and that this is a matter
which must evoke interest There is no
doubt tendency toward scepticism in
regard to every new development Of
science, and the striking character Of
the present discovery of fish will
probably be productive of con-
siderable amount of incredulity;

University, has stated, after demonstra-

IN nENoRIuN.

c. P. Becker who left Wichita on the oath
of December last, on visit to friends, and
former home in Iowa, and died there on
February 9th, of pneumonia, was an old set
tier of Sedgwick county, coming here in
1871. He early took an interest in farming
and stock raising. With him farming was
a profession, not drudgery. His great am
bition waste have fine farm, well equipped
and feed and ship stock. He had great
faith in this county from the first, and took
q great interest in its development, and
its enterprises. Being of quiet
retiring nature, he was sometimes misjadged
and it was only by intimate acquaintances
that the nobility of his character was made
manifest.
1t is very sad, that after so many years of
close application to business, taking but lit
tie recreation or relief from his work, that
his first visit, one that he looked forward to
with anticipated pleasure should only be his
funeral.
He leaves a large circle of friends who
sincerely miss him, for he was young man
of sterling worth, and high ambition. His
remains were brought home and buried on
a gentle elevation in the great valley which
he loved SO well and amidst the scenes of his
labors.
In removing the remains from the train q
small black valise was left behind, and,
although it was advertised, no tid;ngs have
been received.
1t is with the hope that this may be the
means OF recovering the valise that this is
written. Its contents were few articles of
apparel and some keepsakes and curiosities
gathered from the scenes of his boyhood
days. Certainly no one with spark of SEN
timent or feeling would keep them if he
could find the owner.
