Several subscribers have asked us for
cholera cure, and we suspect the dis
ease is quite prevalent. We take
pleasure in giving the following letter
from valued correspondent in West
Virginia. He says. II am physi-
,ian, a country doctor, with two acres
Of land and several hobbies, one of them

broke out among my flock, and tried
every remedy could think of. Finally,
I took some antiseptic tablets, consist
ing of $40 grains corrosive sublimate
and As grains of citric acid in each
and dissolved one in one gallon of boil
Ing hot water and gave as drink.
Cholera-stricken fowls will drink If
they do not eat. From that on lost
but one or two that were too far gone to
drink, and in another instance, where
| found it present, repeated the treat
ment with equal success. Since then |
usually give it once month as a pre-
ventive, continuing it for three days.
If occasion offers, l would like you to
try the remedy, and if it is success in
your hands it could be incorporated in
n future edition of the Bicycle Poultry
Book. The tablets are deadly poison
used, as of course you know, as ex.
ternal applications in solution in surgi.

in their doing this good, lies in the anti.

Tho Best Ration for Horses.

Bulletin 90, of North Dakota station,
details experiments with 7arious win
ter rations for horses. These trials
prove that chopped wheat is good
ingredient of mixed ration, but not
good ration to feed alone. Also,
the bran and shorts mixed in equal
weights are nearly equal to oats,
Also, that low grade and even rejected
wheat makes better horse feed than
the best grades, because richer in nitro
gen. With oats at Is cents per bushel,
bran and shorts are worth ten dollars
per ton; with oats at % cents, bran
and shorts are worth SIS per ton, fol-

LAMBS FOR MARKET.
Why 1t Is Important That Their Growth
BE Pushed.

DE
When the lambs are for early market
it is important that their growth be
pushed Of course at first the feeding
should be done through the ewes, but
if the ewes are fed ground feed, wheat
bran, middlings, corn meal and ground
oats, in troughs with plenty of room
the lambs will soon learn to eat when
only few sheep are kept. Increasing
the ration of the ewes as the lambs
learn to eat will suffice for the first ter
days after the lambs begin to eat. After
that it will be best to provide separate
place for them.
Lambs will thrive on bran and ground
oats and they will eat up clean every
day. A good plan to begin feeding
them is to provide shallow, flat-bot.
toned feed troughs in place where
they can be to themselves. Sprinkle a
little bran in the bottom of the trough.
They will soon learn to eat it, and the
quantity can be gradually increased,
adding little ground oats. See that
they eat all that is given them; If they
leave any in the trough clean it out,
Sheep and lambs will eat all the grain
that they need in little while. They
eat rapidly and they should never be fed
so much that part is left.
There is no kind of stock on the farm
that is so easily upset by overlooking as
sheep or that require so long time
to get over the effects. Hence, good
care is necessary, especially when it is
desired to rush the growth.
A rather better gain can be made by
feeding three times day The feeding
must be done regularly.-St. Louis Re-
| public.

TROLLEY CARS IN ROME.
How They Are Equipped to Mount the
Hills of the Eternal City.

Ilib VI bklc SHys
The Eternal city, Rome of Caesar,
Rene of Peter" has been invaded
again, this time by the trolley car,
The road connects the main railway
station with the center of the city.
1t starts from the Piazza S. Silvestro
and goes up the Vic di Capo de Case
and then through the Ludovisan quar-
ter to the Piazzi di Termini. 1t is a
double track and is nearly two miles
long.
The power station is located on the
slope of the Sabine hills, and tho cleo
tricity is generated from turbines
placed In the waterfalls about Is miles
out of the city. Power is conveyed
to the city by four large cables that
run into transformer house near the
porta Pla. The cars, like all rolling
stock on European trolley lines, are
model vehicles. They are flooded with
light at night, and instead of signaling
the conductor when one wants the ear
to stop, all he has to do is to press a
button on the seat behind HIM.
Some of the hills on the line are SC
steep that special brakes are neces-
sary. Both hand and foot brakes are
used, one acting on the wheels directly
and the other on the rails. In addition
there is an electric emergency brake
which will stop the car in few yards
even when going quickly down hill
The principle of it consists in short
circuiting the motors, which are thcr
driven as dynamos by the momentum
of the car, which is thus rapidly
stopped.
An American company strung the
overhead wires and equipped the cars
