EXPERIENCE WITH ROLF.

We are having it right now-ex.
perience with the roup, saws H. B.
Greer, of Nashville, Tenn. We have
Just come in from treating four hens
with the "swell eye" roup, the kind
of roup that makes their eyes water,
swell up until tightly closed, and then
tester, or fill with a poisonous canker,
that poisons the whole system and
causes the afflicted bird to waste and
dwindle away to nothing but bones,
skin and fea; hers.
The four hens we speak of all came
from the same yard, where about six
weeks ago we noticed one hen afflicted
with the disease. took her out, treated
her and cured her. No more were af-
Iected by it for month, when rainy
spell, followed by cold wind and
snow, caused it to break out again.
and worse than before.
But, we do not fear If, for we have
dry roup cure, that will cure it every
time, when applied at the onset of the
disease. 1t is made up in the form OF
a powder, and applet by means of
little blower that costs ten or fifteen
cents NJ the drug store. the remedy
consists of powdered alum, sulphur and
magnesia, OF equal parts, all thorough.
~ mixed together, and applied di-
rectly to the eyes, Iostrils and mouth
OF the sick fowls. 1t is the best rem
edy we ever tried.
Mostroup cures are solutions that wet
the head when applied and cause addi-
tonal cold and inflammation in that
way. Whereas the powder we name is
healing and soothing from the start.
The sulphur eradicates the poison, the
alum draws and heals and the magne-
STA soothes and modlfies the effects of
the other two ingredients. This, be-
yond doubt, is the best handy, sim
pie and homemade remedy for roup
that there is. Anyone can obtain it
at the local drug store. Farm, Field

Notwithstanding her scrimping and
