Isoup.


The cold fall rains will soon set in,
and with them will come the dangers
of that most dreaded disease among
poultry, the roup. Old fowls will
hardly be through the moult and
young fowls will not be sufficiently
protected with feathers, therefore, un-
less extra care be used, the disease,
which in its first stage is nothing more
than a cold, will rapidly spread and
the entire flock will soon be affected.
Roup, when fully developed, is so
nearly incurable that no remedy las as
yet been discovered which viii justify
the expense and time employed n try
ing to effect cure.
It can readily be seen that under
such conditions, preventive is the
proper remedy to apply.
Carefully watch the fowls, and when
the first symptoms appear. check the
evil at once.
A cold can easily be detected if n
trip is>made to the poultry house when
the fowls have all gone to roost.
Those that are affected will find
trouble in breathing, and will make n
rattling sound.
If such are examined, the eyes will
have a feverish appearance and be
slightly swollen and watery.
Take them gently from the roost,
bathe the head and eyes with warm
water and CASTLE soap, a2d aaoint with
vaseline: then with a small machine
! oil can, inject few drops of Kerosene
into their nos.rils and mouth, and
place them in warm, dry place, free
from draughts and dampness. Inside
of thirty-six hours all signs of cold will
have disappeared and freedom can
again be allowed.
A few drops of kerosene added to
the drinking water will act as a pre-
ventive.
Should the disease be SO far ad-
vaaced that the eyes and mouth be-
come cankered, kill the bird at once
and bury the carcass, as such fowls, If
eventually cured, will be absolutely
worthless.

A curious phase of the situation
among those who have decided to win

them believes that he has just the nat

their great stakes into goods, which
they hope to turn into money again,
with large profit, by the spring, and
then sell out an established business

Hollyhocks on Waste Places.

A correspondent of the Garden and
Forest tells of some hollyhocks planted
five or six years ago on land enriched
by an old wood pile and since left to
themselves. They have increased and
multiplied in the rich soil, sending up
many seedlings and grouping them
selves in beautiful colonies. All shades
of bloom are now seen from white
through pale flesh tints to deep ma
room, varied by buff and lemon tinted
flowers. They have crowded out the
weeds that disputed territory with
them, and now own the soil. Holly
hooks are ideal flowers for such waste
places.

CLEAN STABLE SURROUNDINGS.

The advantage Of a modern sani-
tary dairy stable is more apparent to
me in the springtime than at any 9TH
er season. With the old fashioned
basement stable, banked by rotting
compost-the accommodations of a
winter-and surrounded by miry,
filthy barnyard, the chances for OBJ
tanning anything like pure milk are
exceedingly slim.
| For two month in spring, prior to
turning cows out to grass, I have in
variably encountered more stable
favored milk than at any other peri
cd. This discrepancy on the part of
dairy producers is a most fragrant
one, casting on the industry the
stigma of gross uncleanliness.
Where milk is pooled in the COM
mon for manufacture, as in cheese
making, the clearly patrons suffer at
the expense Of the uncleanly. Where
this subject is neglected one, as it is
on too many farms, it is difficult to
outline plan that will obviate the
evil all at once.
A filthy stable and surroundings,
made unclean by the accumulations
of an entire winter, make matters on
ly worse by being stirred up now. We
can only hope for sweet, pure healthy
milk in springtime from stables built
and conducted on sanitive, we'll
drained plan.
Do all you can to palliate the evilat
present, but see that it has been eff
fectually obviated by 1898. That does
not necessarily mean a new stable,
but it does signify a complete renova-
ton of the old one and new stable
if it can be built.

Everyday Etiquette.

Following are few hints in every
day etiquette from The Ladies' Home
Journal:
An only daughter would have upon
her visiting card, ''Miss Hamilton -
No after call is necessary when one
has received an invitation to a tea OF
an afternoon reception.
An invitation to an informal affair
should be acknowledged by an informal
note of acceptance or regret. A formal
invitation should be answered in the
third person.
Those friends who call on your sat
home" day should have their calls re-
turned in person. Those friends out of
town who send their visiting cards
should have the same courtesy shown
them-i.e., you should post your own
and your husbands cards to them.
Invitations to church weddings are
seldom acknowledged in this country,
although this courtesy is shown to them
almost invariably in France and Eng
land.

lard
Pasture and pure water are oft
neglected essentials to successful
summer swine raising.
Better breeding, feeding and weed
ing are demanded in the live stock
and dairy Industries.
Ripened cream should be thick and
smooth when put into the churn-not
lumpy, neither sloppy.
Ticks and soap are overcome by
dipping the sheep and lambs. This
should be done at shearing time.
The change from dry feed to pas
ture should be gradual, thus making
a clap splice" between grain and
grass.
Continue to feed little of those Is
cents oats and corn. It doesn't pay
to cut the grain ration off entirely the
day the animals are turned out to
grass.
Entirely too little attention is given
to the shape and fitting qualities of
the horse collars, particularly as to
the width thereof. The collars should
fit the sides of the neck closely, with
out pinching.
United States butter COWS produce
an estimated annual average of 100
pounds Of butter per COW. This is not
m UGH more than half the yield that
should be produced, and what are we
going to do about it?
Many successful swine growers we
know rake up the corn cobs, burn
them, and when in the form of bright
live Goals, throw water on a portion
of the pile, thus making charcoal and
ashes for the hogs to eat. A little salt
may be added.
Sheep surpass all other domestic
animals in bringing up and cleaning
up weedy, brushy, poverty stricken
lands. If you have a patch of this
kind, turn them in and let them 'Esub-
due and replenish the earth," in that
particular spot, at least.

Motto: God and Home and Native Land
YTVISECTToN IN OUR SCHOOLS.
Motto:

Is there not need that more thought
be given to the subject of vivisection
in our public and high schools? The
general impression that vivisectIon
outside our medical colleges is seldom
practiced, would upon investigation
be quickly disproved.
Viyisection, without any restric-
tons. is being practiced in nearly all
of our American colleges and univer-
sites.
In 1892 great excitement was caus-
ed by the dissecting of living horses
without anesthetics, in the University
of Pennsylvania. And some five or
six years ago the Worcester, Mass,
TeIeord7n commenced crusade
against vivisection as carried on in
the Clark University. The machinery
which had been made especially for
this purpose cost $50, 600, and Mr..
Clark.-the founder of the school
while admitting that great pains had
been taken to keep this work from
the knowledge of the people, seemed
greatly pleased that it was atroc1ous
enough to be ''recognized in Europe
and published in the scientific jour
nails in Prussia"
But it is not alone in the higher in
situations of learning that these de-
moralizing and brutalizing influences
are to be found. Mrs. NJ. f. Lowell,
our National superintendent of mercy
work, says that in Washington, D. c.,
vivisection and dissection in public
schools is on the increase.
In Worcester, Pa, two professors
in the normal school recently adver-
tised for cats to dissect, and so many
pet cats were stolen by boys that the
S. p. @. A. were looking into the mat
ter. In the West Chester, Pa, Nor
NAL School, a cat after being horribly
mutilated. was allowed to crawl
around the room in that condition,
causing one of the pupils to become
SO sick that she tainted away.
Miss Page, state superintendent OF
mercy department of Washington, IN
a circular letter sent to her assistants,
mentions a teacher in one Of the high
schools who made it a practice to
chloroform cats, cut them up with her
own hands and exhibit them to the
class. A boy hearing of it took cat,
and without any anesthetics, nailed
it's feet and neck to board, because
that was the way the teacher did it.
Two boys in Hiawatha, Kan, after a
lesson of demonstrative physiology,
obtained cat and cut it open while
alive. that they might again see the
heart beat. In a Wisconsin school
thirty cats were ''cut up" during one
winter.
Mrs. Louise P. Rounds, state super
intendent department of mercy in
Oregon, says that "a professor in a
college there choked cat to death to
let the students see how it struggled
in dying, and he also Vanished cat
to prove that the skin was the third
lung"
A large number of similar, we'll au-
thenticated cases might be given, and
Biology in our common and high
schools should no longer be left un1n-
vestigated.

LIVE STOCK MARKET.


Sheep and Lambs-The small amount
Of this stock on the market last week was
made up this week by the unusually
large arrive Is, making the total consign-
ment much larger by several hundred
head than the average. The large con-
sfgnment, however, did not bring de-
cline in prices, and there seemed to be
a demand from dealers who had to hold
over a week for their usual amounts.
In general the same prices were obtained
as those of the previous week The fall
last week was in the Western arrivals.
This week the stock from that section
predominated. Prices ranged 4051Ac.
Northern and Eastern Beef Cattle-The
usual small number of arrivals and the
amount was quickly sold out at the same
prices as We're obtained last week.
Western Cattle-The supply was small,
but il had no effect on the market, as
it was consigned wholly to the export
trade, and none were offered on the mar
ket.
Ca1ves-The arrivals were slightly bet
Ter than last week, but the demand fell
off and there was q consequent drop in
prices. On the general sales the prices
were fully 1ac lower than last week when
they sold at 3@5c per To. The sales
dragged through the market all the week,
but were cleared out before the close.
