Cause OF Pip.
Editor Poultry Department:

Editor Poultry Department.:
VIII you, or some of your readers be so good
as to tell me through the columns OF your paper
what causes the disease in poultry known as pip.
also what is the remedy for it? l never had any
experience in dealing with the disease until l
came to Florida. and though l have repeatedly
used the prescriptions given in some of the
poultry manuals viz. to take off the membrane
and feed with butter and snuff have not been
able to get the fowls rid OF the disease, but have
TO keep on removing the membrane as often as it
ia formed, and have even had to treat whole
broods of very young chickens, and sometimes
lose hall the brOOds. SO am writing to you for
Information as to the best method of Kidding my
fowls of the disease altogether; if indeed it
be done. Hope someone will kindly come to my
relief EMILY F. DUNHAM.
Pip, so called is cold in the head; the
nostrils are stopped and in order to
breathe the fowl has to do so through
the mouth, this causes the tongue to dry
and harden;while the fowl is so troubled,
if, instead of removing the hard sub
stance you could battle the face with
soft water in which few drops of car
bolic acid are added and then use the
same in a sewing machine oil can,
and clear out the nose passages this
would be much more humane, for re-
moving this hard substance is harsh and
cruel. First remove the cause and the
the SO called pip will disappear. The
cause is a draft on the fowls when they
are roosting-or the chicks in a brooder
this is not Group but often leads to that
if let run.
1t indicates (when it spreads) the fowls
are out Of condition, crowded or lack of
a variety in what they eat.
If | can be of service to the lady she
can write me directing to OrmOnd

PatlOlman II. NJ. SammOn, of the city
police force, who lives on West Monroe
Street in Lavilla, has very peculiar va
riety of cucumb ers growing in his gar
den. This morning he picked one of
them from the vines which measured
thirty-seven inches in length, but only
about two and a half inches in circun4-
ference at its largest part. 1t is crooked
and tortuous like snake, and its color
(white on the under side) gives it a de-
cidedly uncanny appearance as it lies on
the ground. Some of the Lavilla tOpers
who have seen it say that it looks just
like what they see before their eyes
when there are rumors atioat that the
back doors are going to be closed on Sun
days.-Jacksonville Telegram.

Color Of young Chicks.

In December, 1891 friend loaned me
a number of the Poultry Keeper and in it
was the description of the chicks of diff
ferent breeds the first day or two out of
the she'll. 1t showed how differently
they looked, in color especially, when
they are feathered. My White Plym-
outh Rocks often hatch out as dark as
the barred variety, but when feathered
are pure white. Some of the people who
see tie dark chicks think they are not
pure. I have never had chick yet but
has feathered pure white in every
featEer.-J. H. Bryan, in Poultry Keeper.

1t is our opinion, shared by many
others, that S., 900 is being next to wasted
in the mouth of the Manatee River. The
dredge's powerful pumps suck up sand
and mud from the channel and deposit
it forty feet from where it was dug out
and few subsequent tides will sweep it
back where it was before. The govern
ment is not very lavish with it's appro-
priations in this vicinity; another sum
of this size will not be secured soon again,
and to see this appropriation thrown
away in this manner is an unfortunate
sight Journal.

1t is his practice to leave the fruit on
his trees late and in consequence they
bloom late. Last season the bulk of the
crop along Nebraska avenue was sold at

Coffee & Hall. master plumbers, of this
city. have been displeased, and have felt
imposed on by the plumbers union be-
cause nOn-union shops were allowed or
did employ union men. Such non-union
shops were sending out jobbers. therefore
Coffee & Hall decided to do the same. The
union objected and struck. and then called
out all union men working in non-union
shops. But Coffee & Hall, who employ
about half the journeymen plumbers In
the city, had in the meantime decided to
send on: jobbers, where their judgment
dictated, and not to charge journeymen's
wages for them. For this reason the
strike was continued, all of Coffee & Halls
jobbers and apprentices going out with the
strikers. The plumbers regretted the
clash. They uphold the business principles
of Coffee & Hall, and also desire to remain
in their employ, but refuse to do 80 and
violate the union rules and be fined there
for.
It seemed reasonable, inasmuch a.
Coffee & Hall employed many more jour-
neymen than the average shop in Tacoma,
that they should be allowed more than
one jobber. This point the union con-
ceded and the strike is off.
