Feather Eating.

When fowls are closely confined they
eating, which is one Of the basest vices
to be thought of that is habitually
formed by the feathered race. Why Is
this only found among confined poul-
try? Because they are not kept busy
searching for their daily rations, hence
idleness brings it on. When you first
notice them plucking feathers is the
time to check it. A remedy is this:
Take the fowl that has become the VIC
tim, and wash the plumage with a solu-
ton of carbolic acid and water: take
one quart Of water and tablespoon
full of carbolic acid, stir well, and it is
ready for use. This, in nine times out
of ten. will effect a cure. and will not
soil the finest plumage. To prevent
feather eating, mix a little salt with
the soft feed. If this is done. you will
seldom be annoyed with feather eating
fowls in your yard.-B. H. Westlake.
International Horticultural EXPOSE
tion.-The United States department
Of agriculture has received through the
department Of state a communication
from Count Cassini, Russian ambassa-
dor, stating that the imperial Russian
Horticultural society will hold an in
ternational horticultural exposition at
st. Petersburg in May. 1899. The
United States is invited to take part in
the exposition by sending exhibits and
special commissioners to prepare the
American section. Exhibits of foreign
exhibitors duly accredited will not he
subject to customs inspection at the
Russian frontier. Privy Counsellor
Fischer Won Waldheim, director of the
imperial botanical garden at st. Peters,
burg, has charge Of the foreign sections
of the exposition with the functions OF
president, and all inquiries relative to
the exposition should be addressed te
him.
Use Oil Freely.-The class Of ma
chinery used in the preparation of food
for stock, rO~ot-pulpers, cha6-cutters,
corr and cake crushers, ETC., is also
often allowed to become hopelessly out
of order for the want of timely repairs,
sharpening Of knives and the use of
oil. Contrast the free use made of lu-
bricant material to secure easy running
and the avoidance of friction and strain
by the ordinary engine driver or ma
chinist to that employed on the farm.
Money spent on oil for lubricating cur.
poses is money well laid ont.-Ex.

Water for HOga.

A bulletin of the Indiana experiment
station says: OF the different diseases
Of live stock in the state, none produce
greater loss than hog cholera. For the
year ending June 80, 1897, the loss in
the state Of Indiana was S99, 457 head,
valued at 1896, 742. A careful analy-
sis of the statistics for each township
in the state shows that the streams
play an important part in its d~istribu-
ton. An investigation made in 1895
and 1896 showed that the breeders of
pure-bred swine, who escaped hog chol-
era, nearly all used we'll water. Doc
tors Salmon and Smith came to this
conclusion in their investigation Of hog
cholera: Perhaps the most potent
agents in the distribution of hog chol-
era are streams. They may become In
fected with the specific germ when sick
animals are permitted to 60 into them.
or when dead animals or any part CT
them are thrown into the water. They
may even multiply when the water Is
contaminated with focal discharges or
other organic matter. Experiments in
the laboratory have demonstrated that
hog cholera bacilli may remain alive in
water for four months. Making all due
allowance for external influences and
competition with the bacteria in ma
tural water. we are forced to assume
that they may live at least a month in
streams. This would be time enough
to infect every herd along its course.
II the larger streams have such a mark
ed influence upon the percentage OF
less along their courses, it is only rea-
sorable to suppose hat the smaller
streams and ponds have a like effect.
1t is common practice to dig out a pond
to receive the surface water from
buildings and yards, to dam ravines
and creeks, to catch the water from tile
drains and springs for water for hogs.
In such cases it follows that they re-
ceive only surface water. 1t is appar-
cnt, then, that the first step to be taken
in the prevention of hog cholera is the
securing of a wholesome water supply.
A number of analyses Of water from
different sources were made and the
results compiled in the following table:
