Cholera or Roup.

Cholera exists at all seasons, but
nearly all diseases are termed "chol-
era," though more frequently roup is
the disease at fault. To distinguish
cholera from roup is the difficulty
with beginners. Roup may last for
months; cholera gets in and goes out
of a flock in a hurry. When cholera
gets into a flock there is no sure
cure. 1t is a matter of the "survival
of the fittest." A large flock cannot
be handled with the object of admin
istering medicines, and the birds will
not eat. In fact, they care for no kind
of food, but they will drink, and drink
enormously. The remedy must then
be given in the water, and of course
some birds will drink more than
others. The best remedy known is to
add a teaspoonful of liquid carbolic
acid to each quart Of drinking water.
1t is a poisonous dose, but desperate
cases require desperate remedies. The
bodies should be burned, and every
square inch of the ground land
buildings) saturated with a solution
of a pound of copperas and a pound
of bluestone, in six gallons of hot
water, with plenty of air-slacked lime
freely applied after the ground is
dry. Cholera kills quickly. If the
birds linger for three or four days
the disease will not be cholera. Wa
terry, greenish droppings, great pros
tration, and intense thirst are the
symptoms. 1t may not be epidemic"
if no pigeons are near, as it is proba-
bly, the spreading in that manner that
gave it the name of epidemic" but it
is certainly contagious.

Indications of Lice.

Lice affect fowls both in summer
and winter, the large lice on the heads
doing the most damage in winter.
When the birds are lousy they begin
to droop, and sometimes refuse food.
Especially is such the case with
chicks. When a bird does not appear
to be well, and tries to dust 1tselA fire.
quently, it is sure sign of lice. Such
lice are generally the large kind, and
may be found on the head and neck.
At night carefully observe them on
the roost, and if they appear restless
or uneasy, it will be because the red
lice from under the roosts are crawl
ing up and beginning their nights
work. Lice may be found in the
cracks under the roosts, in the drop
pings, on the floor, and on the hens
BY carefully noticing the actions Of
the hens you will soon learn to know
when lice have made their appearance.
Chicks simply droop, have disease of
the bowels from debility, and perish.
You have cheap remedy in kerosene.
Use it freely. Pour it out like water
if necessary, everywhere, so that it
can find it's way into all cracks and
crevices. Let the under side of the
roosts receive attention as we'll as the
upper side, and let none escape. Dust
the feathers of the hens and chicks
with insect powder, blowing it we'll
into the feathers, and amounting the
heads and necks with melted lard
The nests, especially, should be over
hauled. Repeat the work two or three
times, and always give the birds
plenty of fine dirt for busting, as it
is by the dust bath that they drive the
lice from their bodies. Even in winter
the lice must be fought and kept
down.-Mirror and Farmer.

perior to ground feed or corn meal.
Market.-Poultry raisers near large
cities in the North and East no doubt
obtain better average prices the year
round than we do. But our fall and
winter prices will compare favorably
with any quotations see given by
poultry journals. When you consider
the expense, interest on investment,
etc., I think the credit side of a South
ern poultryman's ledger will show a
larger balance than that of his North
ern competitor.
I hope you will find these few notes

Method of Dressing Chickens and
Turkeys.

The following advice about how to
prepare chickens and turkeys for
market is given by well known pro-
duce commission house in Chicago:
Keep from food twentyfour hours.
Kill by bleeding in the mouth or open
ing the veins in the neck. Hang by
the feet until properly bled. Head
and feet should be as near the boiling
point as possible without actually
boiling. Pick the legs dry before
scalding. Hold by the head and legs
and immerse and lift up and down
three times. If the head is immersed
it turns the color of the comb and
gives the eyes a shrunken appearance,
which leads buyers to believe the fowl
has been sick.
The feathers and pinfeathers should
be removed Immediately, very cleanly
and without breaking the skin. Then
plump by dipping ten seconds in
water nearly or quite boiling hot and
then Immediately into cold water.
Hang in a cool place until the animal
heat is entirely out. It should be en-
tirely cold, but not frozen before being
packed. Dry picked chickens and tur-
KEYS will sell best and we advise this
way of dressing, as they sell better to
shippers. Scalded chickens and tur-
keys generally are sold to the local
trade.
To dry pick chickens and turkeys
properly, the work should be done
while the bird is bleeding. Do not
wait and let the bodies get cold. Dry
picking is more easily done while the
bodies are warm. Be careful and do
not break and tear the skin. Pack in
boxes and barrels-boxes holding 100
to 200 pounds are preferable and
pack snugly. Straighten out the
package as full as possible to prevent
shutting about on the way. Mark
kind and weight and shipping direc-
tions neatly on the cover. Barrels
answer better for chickens and ducks
than for turkeys or geese. When con-
venient, avoid putting more than one
kind in a package. Endeavor to mar
ket all old and heavy cocks before
January 1st, as after the holidays the
demand is for small, round, fat hen
turkeys only, old toms being sold at
a discount to Gamers.

How to Conduct Poultry Farm.

poultry farm in the sunny Southland.
Having had fifteen years experience
in raising poultry in Florida, I will
note a few items that may be of inter-
est to your many readers, and partic-
ularly as to the advantage we have
over those in colder climate.
We avoid the great expense of hous-
ing fowls in winter. In this climate
house suitable for twenty-five fowls
can be built for SIS, which covers ma
terial and labor Our fowls occupy
the houses at night only. There is no
annoying freezing of drinking fount-
aims, the only requisite being to
keep a supply of fresh water.
AS to Matching, have operated two
incubators from January LIST to De-
cember 31st; but our preferable sea-
son is from November 18th to May list.
If Matched in November the fowls will
not moult the first year, and no time
is lost in the laying season. The pull
let's will commence laying early
enough to take the place of the older
hens when they stop for rest, and in
this way you have continuous sup
ply of eggs.
Let me say that vermin are no more
troublesome, if as much so, than in
the North. They usually breed in
complicated and ill kept houses; ours
are so simple that they are very easily
kept clean, and will stand considera-
BILE neglect before becoming trouble
some. Our sandy and porous SOIL will
soon dry out after a hard rain, and
afford the fowls good opportunity for
busting. We never have to provide
busting boxes for them.
Grit is one of the essentials in this
state as the sand is not coarse enough
for the purpose. [ have sold car
load in a little less than twelve
months. [ prefer the mica crystal
procured from the granite rock of
New Hampshire. 1t is brought from
Boston as ballast and we can retail it
here as cheaply as they do in the New
England states; 81 per 100 pounds is
the regular price.
Feeding, etc. use corn only in the
coolest weather, and then sparingly.
1t is heating and fat producing food
which we do not require in this eli
mate. Many who come here from the
North make a great mistake in the
material they feed. Besides it's heat
and fat producing qualities, the use of
corn produces disease. The Bowker
Animal meal is the most popular meat
food here. I have sold forty tons per
annum to the poultry raisers of this
state
Varieties-Another and serious mis-
take often made by newcomers is the
use of Asiatic instead of smaller
fowls The Brahmas, Cochins and
barred Plymouth Rocks are too large
and heavily feathered for this warm
climate. The latter, however, are quite
popular, especially the white variety
The Leghorns and all Mediterranean
fowls do the best in this Italy of
America.
