IT is said that the czar of Russia will soon undertake to construct a water way connecting the Baltic and Black sea by way of the rivers Dwina and Dnieper. The Russian fleet could thus reach the Black sea, which, according to treaty, it cannot now enter from the Mediterranean. Another canal pro. posed is the BordeauX-Narbonne, across southern France, between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. This would be shortcut for ships and reduce the strait of Gibraltar to insignificance. Both are great projects, either from military or commercial point oi view.

PREPARE FOR WINTER.
IT You Have Had Roup Get Rid OF til
Fowls on the Farm.

IT You Have Had Roup Get Rid OF the
Fowls the Farm.
The summer is the time to prepare
for the winter season. when eggs are
in demand and prices high, says the
Mirror and Farmer. Those who have
had experience with roup can do moth
ing better than get rid of their fiocks
and clear out all germs of the disease.
Recently flock of hens belonging to
exVice President Morton at his farm
on the Hudson was allowed to range
over field upon which cattle affected
with tuberculosis had grazed. This
flock died with the usual symptoms of
what is termed roup, but what was
really tuberculosis, as the fowls which
were not allowed on the grounds re-
manned healthy. This fact demon
strates that to attempt to cure such a
disease is simply waste of time as
we'll as an expense.
There are hundreds of farmers who
have had diseases in their fiocks that
were incura BILE. and they have tried all
kinds of remedies 1t is impossible to
properly treat sick fowls. as no one
can afford to give a sick hen dose of
medicine every hour or two-much less
to handle whole flock: and if rem
edy is tried once or twice and no cure
is effected farmers attribute the loss to
lack of efficacy of the medicine, though
really one or two doses should not be
expected to cure either a man or an
animal when the disease is serious or
contagious.
The only remedy is to get rid of the
fowls and then disinfect-not once
only, but half a dozen times-and not
allow a square inch of ground or floor
space to be overlooked. Use a mixture
or solution of a pound of sulphate of
copper and sulphate of iron, powdered,
dissolved in twelve gallons of water,
sprayed over the ground once a week.
Do this four or five times and then
scatter air-slacked lime freely every
where. About October procure new
birds and buy none that are not
known to be healthy. If the flock is
healthy. raise your pullets every year,
and never bring a strange bird from
another yard into the flock, for in this
manner roup and lice are carried from
one point to another, and do not allow
pigeons to allght in your poultry yard,
especially flock that visits several
yards. 1t is the roup that must be
guarded against. Roup means more
than one disease. as consumption,
diphtheria, scrofula and even Group is
included under its head. the general
term of roup being applied.

to have the pullets grow up with dark

comes lighter, though the bright, clear
yellow color never appears. This is
