OUR RURAL TOPICS.
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers
RoUP.

RoUP.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: What is roup;
its causes, and q cure for the disease Mrs.
ADA JOHNSTON, Fort Wayne Ind.
Roup in poultry almost corresponds with
sore throat in human beings, and is caused By
almost the same things which would give .
person sore throat. The disease itself Is the
inflammation and liberation Of the fine mem.
braneous lining of the throat. When fowl has
any sign of this disease, it is best to isolate
him, for the disease is transmitted through the
drinking water.
Roup is the result of several causes. Damp
ness furnishes undoubtedly the largest num-
Der OF cases. Another cause is the crowding Of
the chickens so closely in their quarters that
they become overheated, and the slightest
change in the temperature is likely to cause
some form Of roup to appear in the flock. A
poultry-houss wherein there is q draft of air
is also prolific breeder of roup. Unclean
quarters are another source of this disease, the
ammonia in the droppings causing the mem
braneous lining of the throat to become ulcer
ated and inaamed.
"An ounce of prevention Is worth pound of
cure" II proper precaution had been taken
the disease would not have visited the flock.
The object is, however, to exterminate the dis
ease after it breaks out in flock.
After selecting those fowls which have the
disease, place them by themselves for treat
ment. There good many remedies for
roup, but one good one will here suffice. To
one pint of kerosene oil add five drops Of car
bolie acid and one gill of melted lard. Place
the mixture in any vessel and shake well be-
fore using. Fill small syringe with this mix
ture and inject little in each of the diseased
fowls nostrils. In addition to this rub its head
and neck very literally with lard or castor oil.
This is good and very effective remedy.
JUDGING DAIRY PRODUCTS.
The Nebraska Commission of the Worlds
Fair has issued circular to the dairymen Of
that State, in which it gives them advice rela-
tive to the exhibit at Chicago. One thing
which will interest our readers is the points
upon which butter and cheese will be judged.
Butter will DO judged on the following points,
the figures set opposite indicating the maxi
mum per cent, the total of all such maximums
being 100.

NITRATE OF SODA.

Nitrate of soda is one of the best Of fertilizers
that can be used for the ground sown to wheat
As fertilizer containing nitrogen it stands In
the lead. Some time ago an experiment was
made at the Indiana Station. The wheat was
drilled in plats on Nov. g. and the first nitro
gen was applied Nov. IL. The main purpose
was to find the form of nitrogen best adapted
to wheat. On certain plats all the nitrogen
was applied in the Fall, On others one-half was
applied in the Fall, and one-half at the opening
of Spring, April Is, aud on others third was
applied in the Fall, one-third April 15 and
ne-third May IL, when the heads were Just
appearing. The wheat was harvested June %.
Nitrate of soda gave the best results, suIphats
of ammonia followed, while dried blood gave
the poorest result. Nitrate of soda gave gain
of 9S.4 per cent. of grain and 1865 per cent. of
straw. Sulphate of ammonia gave q gain of
646 per cent. of straw, while dried blood gave
gain of 54.4 per cent Of grain and $50 per
cent of straw.

FARMING IN TEXAS.

live on the great Staksd Plains of Texaa
One year ago there was scarcely any settlers on
this portion of the plains. The plowed land is
nearly all sod, and the acreage of wheat Is
small, but nearly every settler has a time crop
of wheat, rye and barley. The stand is good,
all looks well, and the yield promises to be
large.-z. T. 8. Peter, Petersburg, Floyd Co.,

PROTECTING FRUIT TREES,

A correspondent informs Us that he has an
excellent orchard Of 30 acres, which he culti-
Yates with good profit His orchard Is COM
posed of all kinds of fruit-bearing trees-apple,
pear ounce, damson, plum, cherry, and other
kinds of many varieties. The trees of his
neighbors do not give anywhere near the yield
which his give, and he attributes this to the
fact that he has two-foot circle of coal ashes
around the base of each Of his trees. He says
that the lye in the ashes is washed into the
ground and kills all insects before they are
able to reach the trunk of the trees. He would
like to have the opinion of some of our readers
who make speciality of growing fruit as to the
truth Of this
