This variety OF fowl has existed prac-
tica.ly unchanged for over tvo thou
sand years. and is still the noFt popular
breed in England. where even the most
nonrrcl specimens of fowl generally
exhibit some traces Of Dorking blcol
and characteristics. In this country
they are but little known. MS they do
not thrive wen here. and the chicks are
delicate and difficult 20 rear. This may
be partly owing 10 ignorance Of their
habits and pcculiarities and partly
owing 10 the fact that they have been
closely inbred. owing 10 the trouble
and expense Of procuring fresh blood
from abroad.
The secret Of the popularity OF the
Dorking is her merits as table fowl.

that this variety occupies the same
place among fowl that the shorthorn
docs among cattle. The Dorking
would be nj a disadvantage In Ameri.
ca owing to it's having white legs and
skin instead OF the popular yellow
ones. The fowls are poor layers as
a rule, though there are some excep-
lions. There are three varieties OF
Dorkings-the colored. the silver gray
md the white. The colored is the most
highly esteemed. because with equal
quality and beauty it has the largest
size. The breed is good for crossing
purposes. The mating of Dorking

How to Prevent Group.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE IN
TEREsTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS
HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is a terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin Of
Group is common cold. Children
who are subject to it take cold very
easily and Group is almost sure to fol-
low. The first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followed by peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized and
will never be forgotten by one who
has heard it. The time to act is when
the child irst becomes hoarse. If
Chamberlain Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will soon
disappear. Even after the croupy
cough has developed it will prevent
the attack. There is no danger in
giving this remedy for it contains moth
ing injurious. For sale by ]. G. Glib

The Fincastle, Virginia correspond
ent of the Richmond Dispatch says:
Some terribly fatal disease has broken
out among the cattle here, which car
ries them off in few hours, and for
which there seems to be no remedy 1t
is called by some tick fever, y and by
others dry murrain The body Is
covered with ticks, which bury their
heads under the skin of the animal,
and it is impossible to remove them.
Cows are taken sick in the streets of
the town or in the common, and In a
short time are dead. Thus a number
of our citizens have sustained heavy
losses. On examination, it has been
found that the stomach of the animal
is packed with dry and parched food
until it is completely blocked and dl-
gestion rendered impossible. 1t is
thought that the dry food is the prl-
mary cause of the trouble, whatever
the disease may be called. Some Of
our people are afraid to buy beef sold
in the market for fear that it is infect
ed, and some will not use either butter
or milk.

Enormous Potato Crop.

The Orange Judd Farmer will show
that the potato crop in the United
States for this year will be the largest
ever known. The acreage was sud-
denly increased ont of all proportion
to demands for consumption In re-
Spouse to ill-advised suggestions from
high official sources, coupled with
natural desire to replace wheat In the
Northwest with some paying crop.
The crop is placed at 282, l40,OOO
bushels. The variation IN the yield
in different States is more marked
than usual. In fact, in many districts
in the Northwest growers have aban-
doned the results of their year S work
and will not dig their crop, prices not
paying the cost Of digging and haul
ing. But for the enormous increase
in that section the total crop of the
country would not be excessive.
The United Kingdom and CONT
nsnt of Europe have harvested large
crop. Seasonable temperatures and
generally sufficient moisture material
ly increased the average yieldper acre
compared with 1894, when the crop
had much with which to contend.
The market outlook at home is rath-
err mixed, but the situation, when close
ly studied, presents some features
which may eventually bring about a
better state of things. Prices are al
most unprecedently low in every d.
rection, but in addition to abandon
ment of a part Of the crop in the North
west there is a tendency toward e1-
cessive rotting in many portions of
the country. Together these may re-
suit in relieving the congested con-
ditions and eventually bring an i'm
provement in prices.
