Sick Fowls.

A farm. paper advises having a sick
room In connection with every hem
merry. it is the belief of the Farmers
Review that the place for the sick
hen is urder the sod, her head having
been carefully removed previously.
Whoever gained anything by doctor
ing fowl, except it be for indigestion,
which caa be cured by proper feeding?
If the hen has indigestion merely she
does moi need to be separated from
the rest of the flock. But even with
bad cases of that trouble the cheapest
thing tc do will be to terminate the
existence of the fowl. Doctoring sick
fowls puts the whole flock in jeopardy.
We have known cases when o whole

owner attempting to doctor the roup.

Preventing Roup.

To prevent roup is something not
very easily done, as the fowls are af-
fected by the weather. In cold, dry
seasons, the roup does not prevail as
much as in the fall, when the rains are
frequent, the ground wet, and discon~
fort exists in the poultry house. To
guard against the disease, the windows
should be so arranged as to permit
plenty OF sunshine in order that the
floors and walls may be warmed, and
moisture evaporated. While the purn
air may be admitted when desired
through the doors and windows, it
should not be overlooked that draughts
of air on the birds are liable to hasten
an outbreak Of the disease. BY keep
ing the floor we'll busted with fine air
slaked lime, the disease may be check
ed in the beginning and the room made
dry.-Poultry Keeper.

frequently having been sold for $1,000.
The American trotter OF the perfect
type is indeed a valuable horse.
Preserving Eggs.-The principle in
volved in preserving eggs is, to close
the pores OF the shell so as TO prevent
the entrance of air. This may be ac-
complished by smearing the eggs with
lard. or coating them with linseed or
eottonseed oil, or other materials. The
most common method Is to lime them:
that is, to place the eggs in milk of
lime or whitewash. In either case the
eggs must be perfectly fresh who,
