TREATMENT OF RouP,
How to Prevent This Dangerous and
Contagious Disease.

How to Prevent This Dangerous ana
Contagious Disease.
Genuine roup is a diphtheritic dis
ease, and contagious. There are dis
tempers and infuenzas that show SINH
lar symptoms, that may not be CON
tagious, but genuine roup, with SWELL
ing of head, discharges of matter from
nostrils, eyes, etc, is contagious, and
the disease has been communicated
from fowls to human beings. 1t can
be prevented by removing the one, two
CT three sick fowls to a hospital, and
either taking the entire flock OF well
fowls to fresh, clean, comfortable quar-
tiers, or by disinfecting the old quar-
ters thoroughly with zenoleum or
chloro-naphtholeum, or weak solution
of carbolic acid. Saturate roosts, sides,
floor, everything. 1t is not worth while
to doctor a fowl after it gets to the
second stage, with putrid discharges.
Besides it is dangerous. If one has the
skin of hands abraded and some OF
the diphtheritic matter gets on it, the
result might be serious. The recent
report of the bureau of animal indus
try on infectious diseases among poul-
try gives numerous cases of the dis
eases passing to human beings. Treat
ment in the first stage is all right, and
often arrests the disease. 1t consists
mostly of good hygienic conditions, re-
moval of all excavations, local applica-
ton of disinfectants, comfortable, well
ventilated quarters, etc. Often the dis
ease runs a slow chronic course and
the most of the fowls recover. Where
it is malignant and rapid, the best plan
is to kill the diseased fowls and bury
deep, or burn, and then disinfect.--

tits too commonly supposed that ensi-
lage made from fodder corn must be
uniform in its nutritive value. This is
by no means the fact. The ensilage
put up the last few years is much bet
ter than that which was made at first,
when large quantity rather than quail
ty was what was mainly sought for.
All corn ensilage requires that some
supplementary food be given with it,
for corn is not a well-balanoed ration
But some corn ensilage requires more
of other food as its supplement. 1t is
possible to ensilage corn when it has
reached the caring stage. cutting ur
the ear with the stalk. This is worth
twice or thrice as much for the same
bulk as corn fodder sown or drilled toe
lhiclIly to allow it to form ears, and
cut as soon as it got into tassel.

and in after years the incident largely
resulted in aiding the kind gentleman
in his aspirations for political prefer
nent. He was elected and reelected to the
United States senate, and to-day repre-
sents the state of Connecticut in that
distinguished body. This incident has
never been related in print before.
At the battle of Cedar Creek, in Dc
tober, 1864, there was displayed great
gallantry on both sides, and the men
ton of one particular deed of bravery is
not intended to initiate against the
merits of thousands of others. In the
afternoon, after Sheridan had com
pleted his ride from Winchester, &c
miles away" after he had reformed the
lines of his shattered army and was adj
vancing, the army of Western Virginia
was ordered to charge across a morass
The confederate troops were on the one
side, with loaded muskets, and witt
artillery. The commander of one Of the
brigades in that army was an OhiC
colonel. He was fighting on foot lead
ing his men. The morass stopped thu
men, but the colonel commanding the
brigade went right on, flounderinf
through mud almost waist deep. HI
was shot once, and his clothes wer'
actually riddled with bullets, but hi
went ahead, waving his sword, and thu
men followed. He was the first maj
over the slough. His name was Ruther
ford B. Hayes. and he was afterward

have been told by other people who have
been IN my chair that that same quiet
little private secretary Of Senator AL
lison is one Of the most influential men
in the capitol building. He does not
make any pretensions, and always talks
In n very low tone OF voice without any
degree OF excitement and apparently
without any degree Of particular inter-
est in anything, but gentlemen Of high
standing who have been In my chair
have told me he Is very shrewd and
sagacious politician, who knows more
of public men than any other man in
private life In the country, do not
know anything about those things my
self, but ! am sure from what people
have said TO me that he must be n very
superior man, indeed, in the higher
walks OF life.
"The Washington correspondent OF n
prominent Pennsylvania newspaper has
boarded at this hotel and have shaved
him number OF times, too. He Is n
very impetuous sort Of fellow, who
wants everything done according to his
own way Of thinking, and he has very
little respect for the opinion of the bar
Der. There are several particular
places upon his face, where the beard
is very rough, and he insists upon hay
ing those places shaved very smooth,
If everything Is not done exactly as he
wants it, he declares that he Is not hall
shaved. Nearly all newspaper men are
cranks when they are in the barber's

THE POLE STACKER.
An Implement That In Very Popular
In the Far West.


The farmers of Utah live in towns
and have but few barns or sheds on
their farms, which, in many instances,
are two or three miles away. They
often stack hay and grain in small,
fenced lots or corrals on an upland
spot, where an artesian well or reser-
vor furnishes water, and there feed
horses and cattle during the severest
months of the winter. Numerous de-
vices have been used in hay-stacking,
some being too expensive and others
being patented by unknown parties
who occasionally demanded royalties
for the use of their ideas.
The most complete and the cheapest
device yet discovered is what is gener
