Suggestions for the Poultry Yard.

The season is here when in poultry
wards, where birds are kept in damp and
i'll ventilated houses, the foundation for
roup-that most fatal of all poultry dis
eases-is laid. An ordinary cold neg
lected very soon develops into roup;
hence first symptoms must be taken III
hand at once. The first sign is sneezlng
and running at the nose. As soon as this
is observed the affected bird ought to be
isolated at once, placed in a warm spot
where there are no drafts and the usual
remedies and preventives administered.
Bear in mind that cold weather is less
dangerous than damp. 1t is good plan
now to give iron tonic in water all
round, especially to the late chickens.
Diarrhea is another disease caused by
cold and wet weather; in chickens it Is
often due to improper diet. Bone dust
is an excellent preventive, and growing
chickens should always have 1T. If
symptoms appear, try feeding with
boiled rice. mixed with little powdered
chalk. If the case is bad, try rice boiled
in milk. As soon as fowl is ailing, iso-
late it until you are certain whether the
sickness is contagious. Many diseases
are contagious, and whatever the attack
may be, the sick bird will recover soonest
if alone

Chemical analysis shows that ola pr

anplied directly to the soil as tertlllzer'

New nrOcess oil meal contains about
ner cent. more nitrogen than old process
which raises its comparative tertlllzlnS
value TO twenty-one dollars per ton, OF
the price at which coarse new process
meal is now offered in carload lots IN the
Ohio market. As it has been demon

the fertilizing value of a feeding stuff Is
lost in feeding, provided the manure Is
carefully saved and used, the bulletin
referred to calls the attention OF ONO
farmers to the fact that in this way I'm

The Presidential Outlook.
HARRISON MAY HAVE 1T.


If President Harrison desires a re-
he will without doubt, re-
ceive it. 1t has been during, and
largely by virtue of, his administra-
ton of national affairs that the dis
tinctive principles and policies of the
republican party have been vindicat-
ed, by the demonstration of their
utility and beneficence in practical
operation.-New York Mail and EX-
press.
MR.. CARLIsLE's VIEW OF 1T.
Mr.. Carlisle believes that the de-
mocracy should fight the protective
tariff openly and boldly in the COM
Jig campaign, and if this line of pol
icy should be adopted tits his opinion
that the fight should be inaugurated
bv the elevation of Mr. Mills to the
speakership of the house of represen-
tatives. This is certainly a legiti-
mate conclusion, and it will be accep-
ted eagerly by every man who desires
to see Mr.. Cleveland the next presi-
Dental nominee of the democratic
party.-Rochester Democrat and
| Chronicle.
FROM A BUSINESS POINT OF VIEW.
1t is not to be supposed that Maj.
Mckinley and Mr.. Tom" Reed are
going into the canvass with their pet
issue next year to train under Mr..
Blaine's lead. This will not be per-
mitted. Mr. Blaine's nomination for
the presidency may put the tariff in
the background, and substitute fori
other issues. But, though Mr.. Blaine
will undoubtedly be more popular
with the people generally thanis Presi-
dent Harrison, and perhaps hold back
many votes that would have other
wise left the republican party on tar
| if grounds, there are strong doubts
as to whether the business interests
| of the nation will feel as safe with
him as with President Harrison
| Boston Herald.
MAKEUP OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
The electoral college next year will
consist of 444 members, of which a
majority of 223, will be necessary to
elect. The republicans have 2O4 votes
in sight, and the democrats have 169.
In the republican column OF states
are included Massachusetts and Iowa
which it is nonsense to talk about as
doubtful. We might as well speak OF
West Virginia, Maryland and New
Jersey being doubtful, but which are
included in the democrats list OF
states in the foregoing computation.
Connecticut, Indiana and New York
are considered doubtful, and from
them and Michigan the republicans
are expected to get the nineteen votes
necessary to elect Michigan is re-
publican state, but will choose cleo
tors by congressional districts, ac-
cording to the democratic gerryman-
der. In that state the republicans
will probably get at least half of the
fourteen electors, leaving them twelve
short of the necessary number. With
either New York or Indiana will be
secure. But giving both New York
and Indiana to the republicans, they
can win Connecticut and West Virgin
ia. 1t can readily be seen that, al
though the republicans have much
the better of the prospects, there is
enough of the element of uncertainty
in the next presidential election to
make the campaighinteresting Gin
