NEW ULM, Mimi. March 25.-Both the
Cottonwood and the Minnesota rivers have
overhowed their banks and the approaches to
the bridges and roads leading from Nicollet
county to the city are covered with water TO
such a depth that farmers can not reach the
city from that side. The ice has not begun

birds is due to catarrh or Group, show
ing all the symptoms thereof. Con-
sumption is a very common disease,
and it soon spreads, as the germs are
deposited over the runs, thus render
ing every fowl liable. 1t may exist for
few weeks or last for several
months. The birds gradually waste
away dying off one by one until all
are gone. Consumption of the bowels
mostly occurs with very young chicks,
and it sweeps them away rapidly. The
use of remedies is of but little avail,
for it is impossible to treat such dis
ease in the food (many birds having
no appetite); and it is also dangerous
and useless to give medicine by hand,
to say nothing of the labor in so do
ing. All such remedies, as kerosene
in the food, copperas in the drinking
water, etc, are about as efficacious for
fowls as for humans. In fact, it is
Just as u44icult to cure consumption
in a fowl as in human, which should
prompt every one who finds any con-
tagious disease in his flock to resort
to heroic remedies at once, and de-
stroy all of his BIRDS This may be a
sacrifice, but it is better to sacrifice
them than incur the risk of loss of
life of some member of the family
The bodies of the birds should be
burnt or deeply buried, and unless ev-
cry square inch of space formerly oc-
cuped by the birds is disinfected (not
only once, but several times), it will
be a risk to procure new birds, as the
germ of the disease will be left and
the disease appear again.-Farm and

Soft and Hard Food.

Soft food should not be considered
as a meal, but only a part thereof,
hence the fowls should never be given
more than one-half the quantity they
should eat. 1t is necessary at times
to vary the ration by the use OF soft
food, as bran, middlings, linseed meal
and ground meat can best be given
in such form, but all classes of poul-
try will cart as much as possible at
meal when there is a number of fowls
together, as they are induced to do so
through competition. Ducks and tur-
keys prefer soft food, but chickens are
more partial to whole grains and 9TH
er seeds, which can be scattered over
a wide surface, in which case all hens
will share alike To learn how much
soft food to give, put a certain amount
of food in trough and let the hens
eat until they walk away satisfied
Weigh the amount left over and you
will then know the exact quantity

Cut Bone.

A pound of cut green bone is suf-
ficent for sixteen hens one day,
which means that one cent will pay
for the bone for that number of
fowls. If one quart of grain be fed
at night to sixteen hens, and one
pound of bone in the morning, it
should be ample for each day in
winter. In summer only the bone need
be given. Such diet provides fat,
starch, nitrogen, phosphates, lime and
all the substances required to enable
the hens to lay eggs. AS an egg is
worth about three cents in winter, it
is plain that it is cheaper to feed bone
than grain, as the greater number of
eggs not only reduces the total cost,
but increases the profit as we'll.
The bone-cutter is as necessary to
the poultryman as his feed mill. 1t
enables him to use an excellent and
cheap food, and gives him a profit
where he might otherwise be compell-
ed to suffer loss. 1t is claimed that
a bone-cutter pays for itself in eggs,
and really costs nothing. Bones are
now one of the staple articles of food
for poultry, and no ration should have
them omitted They are food, grit
and lime, all combined in one, and the
hens will leave all other food to re-
ceive the cut bone IF cut fine, even
chicks and ducklings will relish such
excellent food, while turkeys grow
rapidly on it. To meet with success
requires the use of best materials, and
green bone beats all other substances
as food for poultry Poultry Age.

Keeping Eggs for Winter.

[ have tried many different methods
of packing eggs, but have found that
keeping them in brine is more salts
factory than any other method of dry
packing that I have had any expert
ence with [ use jars in which to keep
the brine, although kegs or any water
tight vessel will answer the purpose.
The recipe for making the brine is as
follows: To three gallons of water,
half a pint of water-slacked lime, OF
the consistency of thick cream, and
one pint of common salt. Stir until
both lime and salt are dissolved; then
drop the eggs carefully to prevent
cracking, as a cracked egg will soon
spoil. The eggs must sink gently, not
rapidly, and must almost float, but if
they float on the top, the brine is too
strong and more water can be added.
Eggs must be entirely fresh and each
days supply deposited in the brine
as soon as gathered. If these direc-
tons are followed, eggs will be fresh
in appearance and quality after being
in the brine a year. Of course, fresh
laid egg is preferable for table use or
cake icing to any packed egg, but
there are many ways of using eggs in
which a packed egg answers equally
as well, and there is time in the life
of hen, when moulting, that she
does not seem to have the interest of
the housewife at heart, but is looking
after her own comfort. Eggs then be-
come scarce and high and store of
packed ones from which to draw is
very acceptable. During the late
spring and early summer months eggs
are very plentiful and cheap. This is
the time to pack, and you will have
plenty of eggs the year round.-Col-
mans Rural World.

employment it will be a great point
gained, but only the most experienced
poultrymen have succeeded in keeping
five hundred hens. On the farms
where the farmers are already estab-
lished they can, by utilizing their la
Dor in winter, make poultry pay well
on their investment, but all who en-
gage in the business will find that as
soon as the labor is hired the profits
will not exceed those derived from
some other pursuits.-Otsego Farmer.

Contagious Diseases.

A great many persons whose fowls
die from roup attribute the cause to
cholera, owing to their inability to
diagnose the several diseases. There
are two forms of so-called roup, how
ever which are very contagious, and
from them the term roup comes. The
first is diptheria (l1nown as ''canker''
roup), and it spreads rapidly, owing
to the entire flock drinking from the
same vessels and eating from the
same sources. The other is the we'll
known scrofula, which is manifested
by sores, great Jumps on the face, or
even as carbuncles. The hoarse
breathing and frequent suffocation of

Poultry Notes.

Don't forget that clean eggs are
more attractive and will bring bet
ter price than dirty ones. Wash eggs
before sending them to market, and
badly stained eggs may be cleaned
with vinegar.
During the moulting season which
may be from July to December, ac
cording to circumstance, the hens
should have tonic. A teaspoonful of
chloride of iron to a gallon of water
is good. In addition to- the regular
soft feed, it is desirable to add cotton
seed meal, linseed meal and fresh cut
bones.
An incubator will enable you to get
broilers on the market when the price
is highest. AS now constructed incu-
bators are not difficult to handle on
the average farm and even if you do
not make a speciality of poultry an in
cubator can be made to add greatly
to the yearly income.
A poultryman recommends boiled
oats as a morning feed. Boil for two
or three hours, then pour the water
off and allow the surplus water to
steam off.

Poultry in Large Flocks.

Many claims have been made in ia
vor Of poultry -raisers which have done
harm by inducing inexperienced per-
sons to venture into the poultry bust
ness under the de1usion that they can
surely make a competency even II
failure ensues in every other enter
prise. Careful reflection should con-
vince the most enthusiastic individu-
ais that it is impossible to realize
much that is held out invitingly. With
the sum of few hundred dollars, or
as much as a thousand, it is proposed
to engage in the poultry business. The
question is considered and discussed
as to the profits to expect. Comparing
the business with any other it can be
noticed that there is no occupation
that would not be considered very
profitable with a profit of twenty per
cent, or even one-half that percentage.
To realize 5000 a year on an invest
ment of 81 900, therefore, is to secure
in the poultry business something
that is difficult to obtain in any other
direction, yet many who invest $1,000
in poultry and necessary buildings
are not satisfied unless they can make
a sum nearly equal to the capital en-
ployed. One cause Of much eXpecta-
ton is the fac that fowls multiply,
and will naturally increase, which is
true; but it requires the loss of year
for the chicks to reach maturity,
while the expense is occurring all the
time. The sum of $1,000 would not
pay for the buildings and fowls neces-
sary to start with 500 hens, and the
profit will not amount to one dollar
hen for the whole number. Right
here it may be urged that one can, by
doing the work himself, make $500 a
year on a capital of $1,000, but it will
not be profit, as the labor must be
paid for, whether it is performed by
the investor or by employing someone
to assist. That, however, is the bright
side of the business. If a person can
invest his money so as to give himself
