TREATMENT OF RouP.
How To Prevent This Dangerous and
Contagious Disease.

Genuine roup is a diphtheritic dis
ease, and contagious. There are dis
tempers and inhuenZas that show simi-
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 10 human beings. 1t can
be prevented by removing the one. two
or three sick fowls TO 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 a weak solution
Of carbolic acid Saturate roosts, sides,
floor, everything. 1t is not worth while
to doctor a fowl after il gets TO the
second stage, with putrid discharges.
Besides IL Is dangerous II one has the
skin of hands abradcd and some OF
the diphtheritic matter gets on II. 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. II consists
mostly of good hygienc conditions, re-
moval of all excavations, local applica-
ton OF disinfectants, comfortable, well
ventilated quarters, etc. Often the dis
ease runs n slow chronic course and
the most Of the fowls recover. Where
il is malignant and rapid, the best plan
Is TO kill the diseased fowls and bury
deep, or burn, aud then disinfect.-

As good cistern as can be made Is by

cheapness Is TO be considered, a good
cistern may be made in the following
manner: Dig SO that II will be larger
at the top than at the bottom, like an
old-fashioned dash churn turned bot
tom side up. About two and half or
three feet from the top, cut a square
shoulder In the side OF cistern to begin

over the arch, and you have good,

made In the following manner: Take

heads out; bore an inch and half hole
In the center of the other end, and put
In plug from the outside. this 10 be
the bottom. Put a small, perforated
wooden box just over this. and have the
pipe through which the water runs
come down through the center of the
barrel and terminate in this box The
box to have the bottom side out, the
pipe TO come through the top Of the
box. Get some nice clean gravel. put in
q layer Of gravel and then a layer Of
charcoal, and so on till the barrel is
half full or more; arrange it so that the
last layer will be of gravel. just above
the last layer put in the pipe that runs
into the cistern. Cover the barrel well
so that nothing can get into IL from the
top. When II rains let the water in;
IL will filter from bottom 10 top instead
of vice versa. Have the barrel sitting
on two stills, and after the cistern Is
filed, take out the plug from the bot
tom OF the barrel, and the water. In
rushing out, will wash out all sediment,
bugs and insects that might have run
in; thus leaving the filter clean and
nice, and ready for the next time

Gray Toulouse geese are named for
the city In France of that name. where
they are extensively bred. In this coun-
try they are bred in large numbers
by farmers. and are fairly well thought
OF for market purposes. Their
flesh is trifle too coarse and
fiabby, when compared with some
other geese. to be priced very high
ly for table purposes. They are termed
a Christmas goose, as being later in
maturing than the others they are just
about right at the holiday time. They
are fairly good layers, averaging about
40 eggs in season.
Toulouse geese are more compact in
shape than other geese, and are pre-
ferred by many for this reason. The
head is rather large and short, and
they have a comparatively short bill
