trouble arising from cold drafts OF air
IN warm pens. We have known large
numbers of fowls to die from no other
apparent reason than this. Better
have the pen cold and draftless than
warm and drafty. Here is what one
authority says on roup: almost all
forms Of chronic catarrh in fowls go by
the name of roup. It usually begins
by severe cold, caused by exposure
to cold, wet or damp. There is dis
charge from the nostrils, at first OF
thin mucous, and the entire cavity OF
the nose may become filed up; froth
and mucous fill the inner angle of the
eye, the lids are swelled and often the
eye-ball quite concealed, and in severe
cases the entire face is considerably
sWelled. It is said to be contagious,
but is probably so only in severe and
virulent cases.
Prof. Law describes roup as follows:
Dizziness, sleepiness, neglect of food,
ruff1ed feathers, unsteady walk, quick
ened breathing, with hoarse wheeze
and an occasional growing sound. On
the tongue, at the angle of union OF the
beak, or in the throat appear yellow
ish white films Galse membranes firm
ly adherent to a Redeemed surface, and
raw sores where these have been de-
tached. The nostrils may be completely
plugged with swelling and discharge SO
that breath can only be drawn through
the open bill. The Inflammation may
extend along the windpipe to the aerial
cavities and lungs, or along the gullet
to the intestines. In the first place
death may take place from suffocation,
and in the latter from diarrhoea.'
Treatment. = The same authority
says: 'Disuse raw grain and feed on
vegetables and buildings made of we'll
boiled oats, barley and Indian pudding.
Dissolve carbonate or sulphate of soda,
or chlorate of potassia freely in the
water drunk. Remove the false mem
branes with a feather or forceps and
apply to the surface with a feather a
nitrate of silver lotion. If diarrhoea
supervenes, give a teaspoonful of quin-
MIA wine thrice day 1t is all-im-
portant to change the run of the chick
ems for time at least"
We ourselves have never had fowls
afflicted this way, for we have always
kept them in tight pens, but not too
warm, in fact in pens where a single
inch wall of boards is the only protec>
ton from the cold.

skirt was lined with pink taffeta. Gov
err a dancing floor thickly with such
handsome dresses as this, and the sight
is one Of beauty that should be JOY
forever, Between dances there is no
let-up in the brilliancy of the picture,
because dainty wraps that come out for
barred shoulders are fully up to the
gowns they top. Scarfs and capes for
this purpose are most elegant, and
though their delicacy makes them
seem almost useless, they ordinarily
furnish all the protection that is de-
sired. Almst any cape becomes more
dressy from an arrangement of ribbon
passing about the neck under the collar.
The ribbon is knotted into handsome
bow at the back, and in front at the
fastening is looped into bows anu
ends, which quite cover all traces OF
hooks and eyes, and either prevent or
conceal the wear that is sure to show
promptly at this point. Ends OF the
ribbon hang to the edge of the cape and
add to it's dressiness when 1t is worn
open.

Deodorize Your Furs.

The doors that cling to many of the
furs worn by women in spite OF the
efforts of the furrier to eliminate
them are not always pleasant to the
olfactories of sensitive fair ones. And
yet fashion DEGREES that many of the
most pungent of these furs shall be
worn. Skunk fur is exceedingly popu-
lar this winter. 1t is now wholly de-
odorized and is extensively used under
a far more elegant title to decorate
garments, both light and dark in color.
Black lynx is now to be obtained in

The Care of Clothing.

Always shake, brush and fold your
clothes at night" is Walter Germans
ADVICE to men in the Ladies' Home
journal. Never hang coats; fold
them. Trousers should be folded by
putting the two waist buttons togeth-
er and preserving the crease. Fold
lengthWlse and then double. Coats are
folded lengthw1se, the sleeves in half
hrst, then each half of the coat to
the sleeve-line, then the two remain
ing halves, the lining being on the out
side. Waistcoats are folded in half
lengthwise. Never lounge about your
room in your clothes; nothing destroys
them so much. When you come in dur
ing the afternoon or at night remove
your coat, waistcoat and trousers. and
put on bath-robe, if you are to re-
main in your room for any time. AL
ways have an old coat at the office"

Handicapped by Fraud.

Honesty is the best policy"-so
the old saw runs, says Few York Farm
er. 1t is not a very enobling motive
hardly creditable to anyone, but
still, as it is better to be honest, if we
can only make men honest as mat
ter of policy, let us do so. rather than
do nothing in that direction. 1t is not
many years since the United States was
a very much larger factor in the Euro
pean trade in dairy products than is the
case to-day. The demand for our goods
was almost unlimited. To-day our
trade there is a mere ghost of it's
former greatness, and it will hardly
ever again reach the old high-water
mark. We have lost the trade by dis
honesty. We have labored with zest
that is seldom equaled in honest trade,
to sell filled cheese for a genuine arti-
Gle and hog-butter for it's model, the
genuine product of the dairy. It is
hardly fair to use the word I'VE" in
this matter. Nine-tenths CT all this
rascality and rottenness came from IL
linois, that home of hog-butter and
filled cheese. and it is there to-day that
the apologists for the frauds are found
in greatest abundance. The blot is
one which should be wiped out. Filled
cheese has received its quietus-hog-
butter needs the same legal status in
Illinois and some other states that it
has in New York and some OF our
neighbors When these two swindles
are so handicapped that their profitable
trade abroad may be restored to us
and the consumption of genuine prod
ucts at home be largely increased.

The Pert Chicken.

There was once a pretty chicken,
But his friends were very few,
For he thought that there was nothing
In the world but what he knew.
So he always in the farmyard
Had very forward way,
Telling all the hens and turkeys
What they ought to do or say.
Mrs. Goose" he said, Il wonder
That your goslings you should let
Go out padding in the water,
It will kill them to get wet
II wish, my old Aunt Dorking,"
He began to her one day,
THAT you wouldn't sit all summer
In your nest upon the hay.
Won't you come into the meadow,
Where the grass with seeds is filled?'
eff 1 should" said Mrs. Dorking,
''Then my eggs would all get chilled"
"No they won't" replied the chicken,
"And no matter if they do,
Eggs are really good for nothing,
What's an egg to me or YOU
Whats an egg?" said Mrs. Dorking;
Can it be you do not know,
You yourself were in an eggshell
But little month ago
And if kind wings had not warmed you,
You would not be out today,
Telling hens and geese and turkeys
What they ought to do and say,
To be very wise and shrewd
Is pleasant thing no doubt,
But when young folks talk to old ones
They should know what they're
about" Selected.

Conserving the Fertility.-The soil
icing so important a factor in human
existence and human happiness, there
is required no apology to be offered for
consideration of its forces, functions
and character; but rather, if apology
be needed at all, it is for the fact that
the western farmer. as rule, appears
wholly Indifferent as to the conserva-
ton of it's forces and fertility. 1t is not
so much that We do not know what is
required in giving the soil proper and
rational treatment, but from force of
habit and long usage, we are wholly in
different, many Of us, in protecting
from damage or loss the great source
of our living.

Housing Hens.-It will not do to
keep a lot of hens in dark or un-
comfortable building and expect them
to be busy and lay. They prefer a
light, dry, roomy place, where each hen
can exercise freely and without him
drance from the others. They will new
er care to scratch, however, if they are
fed every time they appear hungry
They must be compelled to scratch and
work for their food. We do not ad-
wise the limiting of the food. Give
them plenty, but only in the litter,
where they must work and scratch for
eacn grain. Throw the grain in leaves,
cut straw, cut hay or any kind of lit
ter. and at night give them a good
feed in the trough, composed of a mix
ture, but during the day make them
work and work hard. At first they may
not be inclined to accept such condi-
lions, but unless they scratch let them
go hungry. Scratching means eggs, for
it keeps them in health.-Ex.

hours asleep,
Thy spirit whispered unto mine
The VOWS it may not keep.
I met thee in the Isle of Dreams
No fairer land may bloom
Among the island-stars that crest
The midnight's heavy gloom;
The lilies blossomed in our path,
Wild roses on the spray,
And young birds from the wilderness
Sang each a dreamy lay.
Our steps fell lightly as we pressed
The green, enchanted ground,
For love was swelling in our hearts,
And in the air around;
All, all was sunshine, bliss, and light,
Beloved of my soul,
When in the Isle of Dreams we met,
Where Lethean rivers roll.
