Effective Cure for Roup.

One Of the best, cheapest and most
clearly cures for roup in fowls is said
to be sulphur, alum and magnesia, equal
parts, in the form of a powder. We
have had no experience with it, but
give it as it was tried by a poultry
raiser and found to be very effective.
He got a sort of dry powder sprayer,
such as is used in applying insect pow
der, and applied the mixture to hen
having the roup. The effect was a cure,
and he has since recommended his rem
edy. The powder should be blown over
the head of the fowl, and into the eyes,
throat and nostrils. When there is
canker in the fowl, the cankerous
growth should be removed with blunt
stick and the powder applied over the
affected parts thoroughly. This will
effect cure.-Dakota Field and Farm.

The Newest Gowns.

The craze for blue and white has
extended to muslin gowns. The latest
and most chic show blue figures in white
grounds and are profusely trimmed
with lace.
The deep corselet waist band and the
short bolero are features of many chic
gowns and have the merit of being al
most universally becoming.
a novelty in sleeves shows diaphan

light transparent gray linen is made up
over apple-green and finished with pink

Pique appears to be the one formi-

employed for the making Of whole

Pineapple Pancak es.

The Germans make these by adding
stewed pineapple to plain pancake
batter of eggs, flour, and milk. Pour
out the batter into a buttered frying
pan that is large enough to cook it all.
The pan should be not less than 12
inches in diameter, and the batter thin.
When the batter has been poured into
the pan, cDver it at once with stewed
pineapples and dredge them with
powdered sugar. Put the pan in y
quick oven and bake seven minutes;
cut the cake into triangular pieces, like
pie, when served Housekeeping.

HOMEMADE HOPPER DOzIER.

a piece of canvas was stretched. This
frame served the important Office of
throwing back all those grasshoppers
that otherwise would jump clean over
the pan and throw them INTO the oil.
The runners on which the pan stood
were usually made of saplings or small
pieces of board having an upward curve
in front to prevent them from catching
in the ground. The front ends of the
runners were all fastened by screws to
q cross-piece, which was, in turn, draw n
by two ropes, one at each end. These
ropes were joined in front and fastened
to a single-tree. Sometimes two hop
per-doziers were fastened to q long pole
by means of short ropes; this was very
easily drawn by one horse. Just in
front of the pan was fastened piece of
rope which swept the ground n few
inches in advance, and served to stir up
the hoppers and make them jump into
the pans. In the pan was laid piece of
cloth which was first saturated with
water. About a pint of kerosene was
then thrown in and the upright sheet
Or sail of canvas moistened with oil.
The machine was then drawn over the
pasture, or wherever the hoppcrs were
thickcst. In short time it was usually
seen to be partially filled with dead and
dying insects.
The slightest touch of kerosene,
either from the pan or from the canvas
sheet. means death to the hopper, fer
the oil spreads over its body in the
same way that single drop will spread
over large surface of water. 1t seems
TO produce paralysis, which is first
shown by the stiffening of the legs. A
very large proportion of the hoppers
that came in contact with the oil in
the pan Immediately jumped out again,
but they invariably died in the course
of 4 few seconds or minutes.
Hundreds of these machines were
made and drawn over the meadows and
pastures, with the result that millions
of the choppers" were killed, and this
work, added to the fact that the season
was unfavorable to the insects, saved
many crops. Last year we had several
requests from readers in the eastern
states as to how these "hopper-doziers"
are made, and so we print this informal
ton early in the season.-Rural New
Yorker
