Inflammation Of the Crop,

Prominent among the diseases Of the
crop is Inflammation. writes DR.. N. w.
Sanborn in American Poultry Journal.
This is an Irritation of the mucous
lining caused by unslaked lime,
"rough-on-rats' (phosphorus) and
sometimes from the over use Of spice.
With an infiamed crop the bird is un-
easy, moving aimlessly about, occa-
sionally standing still with depressed
head, and then seemingly trying to
vomit. The treatment depends upon
the ause. In the beginning of an
acute case. caused by alkalies, give
weak vinegar water; caused by phos-
phorus, give magnesia. In all sudden
cases try to empty the crop Of its con-
tents. If the crop is nearly empty.
give warm water to give something
to work with; then hold the bird head
downward and work the contents
toward the mouth. When the crop
is empty, give flaxseed tea for drink
and keep on light foods for a week.

Table, Poultry.

The following paragraph on the ad-
vance in public tastes for table poul-
Try is from a report by Mr.. Edward
Brown. the English poultry expert:
With respect to table poultry, the
most notable feature is that tho pub
lie taste is being educated rs to the
value Of fatted fowls in those parts Of
the country where they have been 'hith-
erto almost unknown. Consumers are
beginning to realize the truth Of what
has been pressed upon their notice for
years, that a properly fatted fowl is
cheaper, ven though costing nearly
twice the price, than a lean bird,
whilst as to flavor there is no compari-
son between the two. But as yet the
bulk Of these birds having to be OBJ
tanned in the southeastern counties,
carriage is a serious item. and enhances
greatly the cost in provincial towns.
Until, therefore, local supplies are op-
tainable we can scarcely look for great
developments in this direction. AS an
instance of what might be, q dealer IN
Yorkshire told me some time ago Ina
he could sell. 20 to 30 dozen birds per
week If it were not for the carriage.
as such as he did sell had to be ID
tanned from Kent. Some fattenlng es-
adjustments have been started, Du.
not SO many as could be wished, ano
one or two attempts have been given
up, chiefly owing to difficulty IN OBJ
tanning supply Of suitable chickens,
and another because the place selected
was unfavorable. These changes WILL
occur in every industry. Many at
tempt. but not all succeed. In lrelana
less has been done in fattening than
might have been expected. due to at
tention being especially concentrated
on the egg industry. / am pleased 10
record that in Wales there is more at
tention being paid to poultry, and
though the developments are small al
present. they may lead to great results.
It is surprising how supine the Welsh
County Councils are in regard to this
industry, which has such great posi-
bilities in the principally. The Table
Poultry Show at Smithfeld, in Decem-
Der, was remarkable for the advance IN
the quality Of the exhibits, and that
show can be pronounced to be the nm
est ever gathered together, either at
home or abroad. In the earlier exht-
billions there were many birds of prime
quality, but the others fell far behind.
It is satisfactory to note, however, the
general improvement, and in specimens
sent from other, districts than the
southeast of England. though the best
birds, as a rule, emanate' thence. A
number of agricultural societies have
instituted classes for table poultry in
their annual. shows. and the demon
strations given are increasingly pop

government ownership began in 1854,

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
BY MEMNON,
Coming Nation,

A new society has come into exist
ence' called the American Society for
fress Reform and it is quietly circu-
Iatlng notices among the chosen few ex-
planning its objects and asking "dona-
tlons' to further it's cause. It announces
that it is opposed, "First-To taking
away any just, honest or lawful rights
OF the public press,'' (Which is yerv
good of the society, but perhaps little
vague); "Second-To press censorship,
as this is impracticable because it would
be dominated and controlled by newspa-
per influence" (Which implies that It
would otherwise approve of press CEN
sorship), and '..Third-To placing any
restriction upon the publication of news

They underlined the productive Of
crime sentence, but that is evidently a
blind.
This society walks into our presence
backwards like crab and tells us what
it does not want to do first, rather sus-
picious behavior as it seems to me. But
now that it has got into the room, let
us find out what it intends to do posi-
lively and not negatively. 1t advocates,
Ffrst-The enaction (sic) and enforce
ment of laws to prohibit the publication
of sensational and the illustrated and
detail accounts of crime (sic).
Second stringent laws protect
unjust attacks in the public press.'
"Third-The prohibition of the publ
cation of government plans in time Of
war and peace, and the unwarranted at
tacks upon public officials, whom we con-
slider are entitled to the protection and
respect of every citizen, which is es-
sential for good government" (Sic.)
This is certainly precious document
1t would indeed be blessing if sensa-
tional paragraphs and pictures could be
omitted by our newspapers, but we do
not want new laws for it; we want bet
ter taste in the people and better con-
science in the editors. Legislatures are
not always the best doctors and their
medicines often do more harm than
good.
