RESULTS OF CROSSING.
The Use of Scrubs a Foundation
Has Retarded Progress Wher-
ever 1t Has Been Tried.

Any farmer who will use scrub hens
and begin with them as a foundation
for improvement will lose a year or two
by so doing, as he can get fowls or eggs
of pure breeds at such small cost that II
Will be really extravagant to retain the
scrubs. More effort has been made in
improving scrub fowls than with large
stock, but nothing of Importance has
been gained thereby. On the contrary,
the use of scrubs as a foundation has
retarded progress. The farmers must
first get rid of the supposition that
crossing breeds is an advantage. If
they should judiciously cross, knowing
what they are doing, they might prob
ably accomplish something, but as it is
they do more harm by crossing tHan is
expected. For instance, let the farms
have two breeds-Plymouth Rocks and
Hamburgs. The first he finds an eX-
cellent market fowl, well up to the aver
age as layers, hardy and adapted to
nearly all climates. The Hamburgs
will lay more eggs than the PlymoutN
Rocks (mostly in summer), but are
small and not hardy in winter. Now,
if we can combine the productive ca
pacity of the Hanburgs with the hardi-
ness of the Plymouth Rocks, the farmer
considers that he will have a superb
cross. He does not stop to consider
that the breeders have crossed in every
possible manner to get the same results,
and that the pure breeds are themselves
crosses that have been fixed in charac-
teristics; nor does the farmer consider
that so farmers in every 100 have done
just what he is about to do. So he
makes his cross, and gets birds that do
not lay as well as the Hamburgs, are
not equal to the Plymouth Rocks in any
respect, will not endure severe winters,
and which are of all colors and sizes.
Then he ceases, as he makes no careful
note of the cross, neglects the birds be-
cause they have become scrubs, his in
terest in pure breeds has passed, and
he is on the down grade to ruin, so far
as keeping poultry for the best results
is concerned.-Farma and Fireside.

Horns on Domestic Animals.

All the reason for horns on any do
nestle animal ceased when they came
wholly under mans protecting care.
1t was all right for the animal to de-
fend itself with horns while exposed
to predatory animals, like wolves and
bears. When cattle run wild, as they
long did in the state of Texas, and as
they still do on the plains of South
America. their horns constantly in
creased in length and formidableness.
But under civilized conditions there is
no need for horns. In some breeds
they have already been bred off. This
will doubtless become more general, as
dehorning at least the COWS has be-
come a quite general practice. Calves
may be prevented from ever growing
horn by applying a stick of potash

when Dr. Aver announced his Sarsapa-
Yl1la to the world, he at once found the
physicians his friends. Such a remedy
was what they had looked for, and they
were prompt to appreciate its merits and
prescribe it. Perhaps no medicine-known
as a patent medicine-is so generally ad-
ministere ed and prescribed by physicians as
Dr. Ayers Sarsaparilla for blood diseases,
and diseases of the skin that indicate a
tainted condition of the blood. Experience
has proved it to be a specific in such
diseases, and sores of long standing, old
ulcers, chronic rheumatism, and many
other like forms of disease have yielded to
the persevering use of DR.. Ayers SarsaPar-

CROP-BOUND POULTRY.
Unless a Remedy Is Immediately Ap.
piled Fowls So Afflicted VIII
Die Speedily.

Crop bound is especially prevalent
among fowls in close confinement,
where in their desire to procure green
food they consume large quantities of
dry grass, and l have observed its be-
ing brought on in at least one case by
eating tea leaves, the whole mass form
ing hard lump in the crop, thus being
indigestible, causing the bird to dump,
and unless a remedy is speedily applied,
to die. In one of our exchanges a writer
gives the following remedy: First. pro-
cure piece of the smallest size rubber
tube about IS inches in length (this can
be obtained at any drug store); attach
one end to a small tunnel, grease the
other with lard or vaseline for about
four inches, and are ready for business.
Getan assistant to securely hold the sick
bird, now carefully place tube in the
birds mouth and push we'll down the
crop, about four inches of tube will be
required, hold the tunnel slightly above
the fowls head and slowly pour in as
much luke-warm water as the crop will
hold, about one teacupful. Have the
assistant work the crop carefully dur
ing the process and until the hard mass
becomes softened. Great care should
be taken both in pouring water and
working crop lest the fowl become
choked by water rising in the throat.
Next grasp the bird by the legs and hold
head down, gently working crop to as
sist bird to vomit. In most cases one
trial is enough to completely empty the
croD l1ut in case if is NOT LET the fowl
rest for half an hour and repeat the
process. This remedy has also been
used by me very successfully in cases
of acute indigestion. Keep the bird on
soft food with plenty of sharp grit and
charcoal for a few.days and the cure is
complete.
