How to Guard Against an Outbreak q
the Terrible Disease.


How to Guard Against an Outbreak of
the Terrible Disease.
Very little seems to be generally
known of fowl cholera, as is shown by
the almost universal neglect to prop
erly guard against its outbreak, and
the frequently confessed inability to
suppress it when once it becomes es-
tablished in flock. That the disease
is strictly sporadic will not be denied
by an intelligent observer of its incep-
tion and progress. That it is due to
local and preventable influences is, |
think, equally true. That it can be
cradicated by removal of the cause,
and not otherwise, / as fully believe.
Not all exposed fowls take the disease,
and not all attacks are fatal. There
are numberless cases Of recovery, ap-
parently due to individual treatment or
change of food; but that they are really
the result of such treatment is, to say
the least, not proven. So far as my
observation goes, the proportion is
less than when the fowls are let alone,
and the treatment confined to the dis
infection of their quarters. have
abundant reasons for believing that the
disease is always traceable to faulty
quarters and the neglect to properly
protect their occupants against the
germs generated by decomposition of
their own cxcrements.
/ knew of an outbreak of it, several
years ago, in one OF the largest poultry
establishments in the country, where
it ragged with terrible virulence among
turkeys as we'll as chickens, and the
money lost ran well into four figures.
At last disinfection by sulphuric acid
in hundred times as much W alter was
resorted to with the most astonishing
effect. Not single new case was
known, and the establishment was en-
tirely freed from it as soon as its
period of incubation in the already af.
fected birds expired. What means OF
prevention have since been resorted
TO / do not know, but no further
trouble has been experienced, though
many thousand fowls are huddled upon
the same grounds every year. l be-
lieve no other preventive is neces'
sary except to keep the droppings GOV.
cred with dry earth. The saving in
manure generally wasted by lack of pro-
lection from the air will more than nav
this expense. High perches also contrib
ute to the safety of the fowls, promoting
more rapid diffusion of the harmfu
gases produced by respiration and ex
hailed by the excrements dropped dur
ing the night. The instinct of tn,
fowl to roost high and sound practic,
are in entire harmony in this respect

Reflections Of u DesOlate Nun on the Lone
ly Street of an Ohio Town.
'Gone!'
Tho word came with deep groan from
the lips Of the desolate man who stood on
the lonely street and looked about him.
The beams of the setting sun shone with
yellow glow on peaceful village nest
ling in a lovely PLAIN. The modest spires Of
the churches glittered in an atmosphere
free from smoke, and not sound came to
the ear Of the solitary man, whose brain
was throbbng and whose heart was burst

earthly isolation.

State, amid fertile valleys and vine-clad
hillsides whose vegetation is already leaping

He paused moment to Kick wandering
and lonesome-looking dog that was shifting
about him in an abjectly inquisitive and
apologetic manner, and again his voice
rang plaintively out amid the weird soil,

"Where are they alll Where are my
friends, my nelghbors, the companions of
my youthl What mysterious calamity has
swept over this once happy place Us with
the bosom of-you here again, you miserable

He drew his hand trcmblingly across his
pallid brow, and once more his voice smote
the air:
"They are not herel They are gone

Where are ye, friends of my childhood' O
familiar faces that filled the horizon OF
hope in my maturer years and framed the
radiant vision that my ambition bodied

With these words he took fresh chew OF
tobacco, pulled his hat down over his eyes

back on the home of his childhood, and de
parted forever.

TRAINING HEIFERS.
How TO Lead Young Animals In the Way

How TO Lead Young Animals In the Way
They Should Go.
The term .'breaking," as applied to
the domestic animals, has an unpleas-
ant significance 1t indicates bad
management forcibly remedied. A
calf or colt should be trained from
birth, and it should be gradually led
in the way it should go-the word
educated" has precisely this mean
ing-by d constant progressive course
OF kind aud considerable treatment a
heifer calf should be weanod at its
birth. If its natural instructive pro-
clivities are to be repressed and OBJ
liberated, this is the time to begin, be-
fore the germs OF these have mad ol,-
portunity to grow into habit Hence
calf should not be permitted to suck
the dam and should be taught to
drink from a pail. Have q leather
collar strong enough to hold it, with a
ring sewn in it, and rope with snap
hook attached to tie it with in tho pen.
Then it should be handled (brushed i;
better) quite frequently, until it is
used to it and makes no resistance, but
rather likes it. As it grows older it,
udder and teats should be rubbed ant
pulled, as If in milking. This not only
makes it docile, but it helps the de
velopment of the udder. and increases
its future capacity. A heifcr may BE-
brought to milk in this way before i
has had calf, and instances OF thi'
tactical precocity are not infrequent IN
diaries where calves are permitted Il
suck each other, although this is
great mistake, and is provocative o
vicious habits, such as self-suckins
and sucking other cows. When the
heifer has calf it is already trained

to arrive at any conclusion Mr. Jamison in
terrupted her meditations by saying sharply:
Come, Miss laxative, don't waste val
liable time. The sooner the letter is deliv-
cred the better / shall be pleased. 1t is of
great Importance remember"
Miss Talkativo turned to retire, and soon
as his landlndy stepped out the door Mr..
Jamison commenced to re-read number OF
old letters which lay on her desk
While he perused them his face was

"'My dearest George" he said, uncon-
sciously speaking aloud. and there was a
bitter ring in his voice. How she did de-
ceive me! OH Alice, loved you and will
always love you Why were you 80 cruel?'
Then, calming himself, he continued to
read. When he came to the last letter he
paused for moment and read it aloud:

July 4, 1880. A small elegant cottage in

Tho Hostetter Stomach Bitter People
scnrs, Annfhnr Point.


In the United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York, Judge Ship
man handed down an opinion a few days
ago in the suit of the owners Of the trade
marks covering Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
against Arnold Theller and Cornell Thsller,
the compounders located on Vesey street,
New York City, in which 1t was decided
that, although the defendants made use OF
their own names on the labels affixed to tho
bottles containing bitters prepared by them,
yet as they were evidently designed to ini-
tate the Hostetter labels, they were In
fringers, and perpetual injunction was
granted and an accounting Of damages or
dered, together with the costs of the suit.
1t is the evident intention of the HosteVter
people to protect their valuable trade mark

July-for you the songs are sung
BY BIRDS the leafy trees among;
With merry carolings they wake
The meadows at the mornings break,
And through the day the lisplng breeze
Is woven with their tree-top glees.
For you tho prattlng, pebbly brooks
Are full of tales like story-books.
For you a fragrant incense burns
Within the gardens blossom-urns
Which tempt the bees to hasten home
With honey for Their honey comb.
The river, like looking glass,
Reflects the fleecy clouds that pass,
Until it makes US almost doubt
II earth and sky aren't changed about.

The world seems fallen fast asleep,
Save on one glorious holiday
When all our books we put away
And every little mad and man
Is proud 10 be American!
