Varieties of Opinions.

More has been said on the subject of
roup than any other disease, and justly
so, for Of all the diseases it is the most
to be dreaded by the raiser Of poul-
try. The belief of the editor is that
the great difference of opinions held
regarding it's durability is due to the
undoubted fact that there are at least
two diseases, both known as roup.
How many more there may be we
have not yet discovered One of these
| Is durable; the other is not, so far
as our experience would indicate. To
show the difference Of opinion we need
only quote from two articles appear
ing in a recent number of the Amer
lean Poultry Journal. One of the ar
ticles is by H. B. Geer. In part he
says:
1--WE long since quit doctoring roupy'
chickens. Our remedy is the Ratchet.
1t Is the best remedy in the long run.
Roup should go, and every chicken
that has it should be killed on the
manifestation of the very first symp-
toms of the disease"
The next article in the paper referred
to is by II. G. Austin, who says in
part:
ut makes me tired to hear a man
advocate using the Ratchet for sick
fowls. l have had roup and canker in
their worst forms, but l succeeded in
curing the birds. Roup in fowls is
like cold in the human system-if you
neglect it you have a bad case. A
cured bird is as good as one that never
had the roup."
In a recent issue the Farmers Re-
view published reports of rouny fowls
that had been successfully doctored at
the North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton. We cannot repress the belief
that the disease doctored there was not
by any means what we call the most
virulent form of roup. We have seen
roup and roup. We had case one
year where it broke out in March and
remained with the flock all summer,
being most deadly n midsummer. The
fowls for the most part showed none
of the characteristic signs of roup.
They simply became a little frothy in
the mouth, their temperature ran up
to a great height and diarrhea set in
that always terminated fatally. None
of the means tried seemed to have any
effect on the fowls, and all that took
the disease died, though some Of them
fingered for weeks. The last remedy
was to kill every bird that showed
the least sign of the disease, and the
we'll ones were turned over to the
butcher. The whole flock had num-
bered Sc fowls, and 46 died or were
killed on account of the roup. The J
house and yards were then purified 1,
and left unoccupied for several months.
This was roup in its worst form and
we believe incurable.

Over Stimulating.

In the endeavor to induce the hens
to lay many poultrymen resort to fore
ing processes, and feed in a manner
sometimes unnatural, says Poultry
Keeper. Red pepper, sulphur, saffron,
ginger and all kinds of egg foods are.
resorted to, and if there is any virtue
in such there is no excuse for any
thing but the best results. But it may
as well be stated that while such ar
ticles may serve as stimulants, and
temporarily invigorate the hens, they
are of no value whatever to healthy
fowls. The hens in their natural con-
dition simply seek variety of food in
order to derive those elements that are
essential to the formation of the eggs,
and to supply bodily waste, and the
best tonics consist of wholesome food.
When egg foods and condition powders
are given the benefit from such is due
more to the fact that they supply
something which the poultryman neg
lects to give, such as salt, for instance
rather than to any substance contained
that induces laying. The hen only lays
when she is capable of supplying the
materials for forming an egg, and red
pepper contributes but a small proper
tion Of any substance that is necessary.
But there are those who do find such
things beneficial at times, but it is
when the hens are debilitated and re-
quire stimulants. Even when the hens
are urged to lay, should their appetites
be increased by such means, their eggs
are seldom fertilized and are almost
worthless for Matching purposes. There
is no necessity for treating fowls diff
ferently from other stock, but they
should receive all the care necessary
for their thrift and prosperity.

White Holland Turkeys.

In recent number of Farmers Re-
view, correspondent speaking of tur-
key-raising, said: "If there could be a
breed of turkeys raised that would not
wander away it would pay to raise
them" 1 will say, by way of reply,
that 1 have raised the common brown
turkey and the Mammoth Bronze, and
always had trouble with them on ac-
count of their wandering away, and
one year l lost 30 birds from this hab-
it. But for the last ten years 1 have
raised the White Holland turkeys and
they are perfect pets. One of the old
mother hens l could pick up anywhere
and the young ones were very tame.
l have never had the least trouble with
their straying away. The meat is
white and fine. The toms will average
in weight from 20 to o. pounds when
full grown; hens from IS to 20 pounds.
They are good breeders, and lay an
unlimited number Of eggs.

GOOD CROPS IN CANADA.
Farmers Leave Good Lands In MInnesoI
ia for Western Canada.

Farmers Leave Good Lands ia MInneso-
ia for Western Canada.
Delegates representing a number Of
neiehboring farmers in Clay county,
Minnesota, who visited the Edmonton
district Of Western Canada last sum
mer are evidently very we'll satisfied
with the result Of their trip. They
think so well Of the country that in
addition to the privilege of obtaining
free homestead of 100 acres of land
they have also purchased land. In a
recent interview on the subjeGs Messrs.
c. e. and A. Hughes of GAINESVILLE,
Clay Co.. say:
Eve are well pleased with Western
Canada. 1t is far ahead of what we
expected. We find the climate to be
warmer than we expected. AS for the
crops we have never seen anything
that can compete with them. We have
lived in Minnesota and have farmed
some OF what they count the best lands
in the Red River Valley for ten years
and have done very we'll in that part
of the country and have farms there
at present free of all circumference,
but believe that this country (Western
Canada) is so much better that we
have bought from the CanSdian Pa
cifc Railway Company one section of
land northeast of Edmonton in the
Beaver Hill district. We have trav-
eled through that part Of the country
and have seen the grain in the gran
aries and the amount of land that it
was taken off and find that they have
errN Gffu hnc cnA
over to the acre, and they say that this
has not been a good year, and very
little if any grain had been touched
by the frost. Hay seems to be plenti-
full, and If you wish to put up 'og
buildings you can get the logs within
a few miles. Coal can be had at the
mines for rs cents per ton, or you can
dig it yourself Nearly all kinds Of
garden truck can be grown in abund-
ance. We find everything that can be
grown in good demand. The farmers
tell us that they can get four and a
half live weight per hundred for hogs,
and for three year old steers from fifty
to sixty dollars per head, providing
they are good. We will move into that
part of the country next summer. All
INC pSOplC III lhdI pau VI IhO NOuhIAJ
seem satisfied, and we do not see any
reason why they should not be So"
The Messrs. Hughes also stated that
they would be very glad to afford any
one desiring particulars about the
country they had visited the fullest
information, on receiving enquiries at
GAINESVILLE, Clay Co., before the LIST
Of June next. when it is understood
they propose to return to the Edmon-
ton district.

Baltimore q Ohio.

From time to time articles appear
In various papers about the so-called
"Hill control" Of Baltimore & Ohio,
together with exhaustive details of
various struggles which are supposed
10 be In progress between Mr.. Hill
and other people in the Baltimore &
OHIO board. The details Of these strug-
giles are very interesting, but are open
TO the criticism that they have no ex-
istence in fact. The plain facts of the
matter are, first that Mr.. Hill does not
control Baltimore & Ohio, nor has he
at any time expressed any desire or
taken any steps in that direction:
second, that there has at no time been
any differences of opinion between Mr..
Hill and the Baltimore & Ohio people
with regard to selection of general
manager, the selection of Mr.. Under
wood being satisfactory to everybody:
and third, that the delay in regard TO
Mr.. Underwood's acceptance of the
general managership of Baltimore e.
Ohio was due, to matters connected
with the 500 Line more than anything
else.
1t Is pretty we'll understood here
that Mr.. Hill was invited to interest
himself in Baltimore & Ohio, on the
theory that he could be of great SER
vice to the property as an adviser. and
to this end he, with some of his
friends, purchased substantial inter-
est In the preferred stock of the
company. This interest is nowhere
near controlling interest, but is still
very large. 1t may be said without
fear of contradiction, that there is en-
tire harmony in Baltimore & Ohio
circles from top to bottom.

or the 1851, 100000 appropriated for
the war there will, it is estimated, re-
main unexpended Jan. l, 1899, total
OF SCI 100000 plus for the army, and
S3S,0C0o00 plus for the navy; in all
$94,S16, 165O9.
Spain, with her population of less
than 200O0,0OO, asks for an army OF
100000, while the American congress
questions whether 100000 is not too
many for republic of rs, 900, 0OO,which
has fallen heir to the distant provinces
which Spain is no longer compelled to
provide for.
The proposed institution of honor
m a1als in the navy and the list Of
promotions for meritorious service
may obscure the fact that the United
States is really very charry of gifts OF
this kind. The Military Gazette Of
New South Wales says that the Vic
toria cross was given to ITO men in
the Indian mutiny, 100 in the Crimes,
2S in the Zulu war and 10 each in At
ghanistan and New Zealand The
crosses given for other campaigns do
not run into two figures. None Of
these affairs, except the Indian mu-
tiny, compares with our civil war in
daring adventure, and of course all Of
them put together do not approach the
number of men We put in the field, says
the Army and Navy Journal, but the
hopor r,adalc rncordad in Tho Iocf ar
my register number only al, and the
certificates to enlisted men rs. Dur
ing the last year there have been one
or two additions to the medallists.
There have been so many swords of
honor presented by personal admirers
lately that an impression is given of
great liberality in such matters, but
this exuberant giving does not spring
from congress.
