Concerning Ronn.

Below will be found the formula for
preparing a remedy for roup in fowls
that l know by experience to be effective,
writes E. j. Atkinson in Practical Farm
er. In early spring of this year, roup
invaded our flock of thoroughbred black
Langshans, and it began to appear that
unless something heroic was done we
would very soon be relieved of the care
of our poultry. Spraying the throat and
nostrils with coal oil was tried, appar-
emily without effect. Other very highly
recommended cures were given a trial
with the same result. Finally. being on
the verge of despair l made up the
preparation for which the formula is
here given: One pint lard, one pint
mowers OF sulphur, one tablesp oonful
spirits of turpentine, two tablespoonful
coil oil, four tablespoonfuls powdered
borax, one teaspoonful powdered alum:
five drops carbolic acid. This was thor
oughly mixed and a ball of the mixture.
about half an inch in diameter was
given to the worst affected fowls each
day, and to those not so badly affected
every other day, Their Improvement
under this treatment was so marked as
to be plainly discernibie the second or
third day after it was begun on the
eighth day the physcking was discou-
tihued and all of these chickens are
alive and going cheerfully about their
business to-day. The heads of some of
the hens were swollen so badly that their
eyes were completely closed. and the had
odor characteristic of the last stages
OF roup was very much in evidence with
them. In addition to giving the medi-
cine internally some of it was applied
TO the swollen parts daily
DO not allow the fowls to eat or drink
soon after dosing them. 1t is, perhaps
pest to administer the dose late i'm the
afternoon, then not allow the fowls to
nave any more food or drink until the
next morning. Feed only soft food and
not too much of it. Keep enough lxero-
sene in the drinking vessels TO form a

they contain. The kerosene is supposed

may fall from the chkens' bill into

from draughts or strong currents of air

Advice For Winter

To insure fowls against sickness is the
great aim of all successful poultrymen.

when dull days and night frosts prevail.

suit in full crop of ailments and endan-
ger the lives of our most favored speci-
mems. To much care therefore. cannot
be given to prevent all symptoms of dis
ease. Probably the first and most COM
mon trouble is cold in the head. which be-
gins with sweiled eyes. This, If not TAX
en- at the start. will surely run into a case
of roup.
Night, when fowls are roosting, is the
dangerous time. Hen houses cannot be
made too tight. A little hole. or small
crack just large enough to admit a draft,
will do the damage Sometimes simply
placing the afflicted bird in a warmer
house Ed feeding soft stimulating food
for few days will remedy the trouble;
but this must be done at the start. other
wise it will be useless.
Next to drafts dampness is most to be
feared. Whereas it is all-important to
keep houses tight at night it is lust as i'm
portant to open windows during the day.
The breath of fowls, coupled with freezing
an VIII create ii udIlpUeSS AT night which
must be dispelled during the day Fresh
air will dry out the houses as nothing else
can. When it is zero weather some may
hesitate to open windows, but it must be
done, provided 1t is mos stormy 1t will
make the house, warmer and decidedly
drier at night. Fowls can stand lot of
cold provided it Is dry, but dampness
seems to penetrate even their feathers.
Constant exercise is the best preventive
of an endless number of diseases caused
by over feeding. The busy hen Is the
healthiest and will lay the most eggs.
Watch your hens during the day. and If
they sit around all rufiled up and dun
looking, throw them a few handfulls of
oats or wheat in deep litter, and make
them be up and moving. 1t is the nature
of all fowls to be busy from morning
until evening: therefore endeavor to com
pei them to follow their natural instincts
when housed for winter Variety of food
is essential. Tempting morsels, like cab
bage hung up, will delight them.
Precautions against these three evils
drafts, dampness and laziness-will pre-
vent many ailmeata and save your flock
from possible disease

TOD sLOANE's TRIUMPH.
English Papers Full of Praise For
the Jockey.


London, Nov. 28.-The papers comment
at length upon the remarkable success of
Tod Sloane, the American jockey. during
the present month in England. sloane's
victories for November numbered 20 in IS
mounts.
The Daily Mail win say tomorrow that
Sloane intends to return to England. and
therefore left a good impression at Man
chester. 1t will add: "In the teeth of
much hostile criticism. Sloane has con-
quered the English owners. Where for
merly he found critics he now finds peo-
pie anxious 20 engage him. He has rid
den for the Prince of Wales, for that mag
nihcent judge Of horsemanship, Capt. Be
wickes, and for the Foxhall stable
The Daily Telegraph says: 1.-THE win
ming average Of the once-ridiculed Sloane
is simply astonishing. The Manchester
people gave him gratifying send-off in
recognition of his pluck and skill. He
should return to America with good
opinion of England and Englishmen.''
Other papers will pay similar encomiums

Sloane"
The Sporting Life will say: Certainly
the occasion was one of which he might
well be proud 1t was a really unparal-
leled feature to win four out of I'VE and
to run second in the great event of the
day. Considering his ignorance of the pc
culiarities of our courses, his PERFORM
ances have been phenomenal. 1T is need
less to say that he has nothing to learn
from the English jockey who might in
many Instances well copy his methods"
The Sportsman will say: Those may
laugh who win. Certainly the laugh has
gone Sloane's way 1t was just as well
for some of cur jockeys that he did not
arrive earlier"

other cause has greatly reduced the num-
Der of scabby potatoes in his crop. His
theory is that the deeaying green rye
plowed under produces an acid in the soil
which is uufavorable to the development
of the scab germ. 1t is not too late to
sow rye this fall where potatoes are TO
be planted next year, and 1T can be test
ed at small cost. Probably the green
manuring would increase the amount of
crops enough to repay the cost of the eX

grow more potatoes next year, as the res
toration of the tariff on them will dis

and the British provinces unless the price
remains nearly as high as it now is.
