CROP BOUND BIRDS.
Unless a Hen Is Valuable 1t Il Better
to XIII Her Than 10 Try and
!, Save Her.

When birds are troubled with what
is known as crop bound," various
methods may be applied. When it first
begins it is best to try gentle moving
of the mass from the outside. This
may break up it's compactness and
cause some of it to pass into the giz-
card. In case the mass sours and be-
gins to ierment, it will have to be re-
moved. We have seen the advice given
to fill the crop of the bird with water
and hold it head down so that the food
would run out. The writer has never
been very successful in this mode of
treatment, but has had birds expire
under it. The cutting open method is
often recommended, but we cannot say
from experience how successful it gen
orally is. The advice is generally
given to put a small hole through the
skin and crop membrane, pulling the
skin over some, SO that the cut in the
skin and the cut in the crop will not
naturally come opposite each other.
The cut in the crop should be only
large enough to permit the finger to
go in and bring out the food. After
the sack is thoroughly washed out, the
cut in the membrane may be sewed up,
and a like operation performed on the
cut in the skin. We do not believe this
will pay with any but very valuable
bird. Certainly it would not pay on
the bird that the farmer has to sell
for 20 cents. A bird properly handled
will not become crop bound.-Farmers'
Review.

Liver Complaint in Fowls.

Nux vomica is used as specific for
liver complaint. The symptoms OF
this disease are sickly yellowish
color about the head, the comb turns
dark colored, the liver is larger (upon
post-mortem eHamination). and the
discharges are watery and light col.
ored. Liver complaint is supposed to
attack birds soon after being on ex-
hibition, OF is caused by any sudden
change from warm to cold houses, or
from overlooking. If taken in time
nearly every case can be cured by
giving nux vomica in homeopathic
form, allowing six pills three times
day to large fowl, and less to
small bird.-Farm and Fireside.

Keeping the Eggs Clean.

1t ought to be self-evident that all
filth of every kind should be removed
from the hens nest, and on no ac-
count should one be allowed beneath
the roosts where the hens remain on
their perch through the night. Fowls
always pass their excrement once OF
twice, if not oftener, during the
night, and this falling into a hens
nest will inevitably soil the nest and
the eggs. This is bad for the hens,
for it soils their feathers, but it is
still worse for the eggs, which have
porous shells, through which foul
odors pass and spoil the egg. The evil
is worst in hot wether, as the eff1uvia
destroys the life in the germ of the
egg, and if the egg is to be eaten it
does not make it more appetizing to
know that it's porous shell has been
in contact with filth. Therefore buy
ers of eggs should look to the shells
and reject those that are dirty OF
that show signs that they have been
washed.-American Cultivator.

Cleanliness in Feeding.

It was once supposed that the best
mode of feeding was to throw the
soft food in dirt, as the more dirt
a hen could eat the better, but this
has been found delusion. Hens can
eat all the dirt they wish without
having it forced on them. Many dis
eases are induced by compelling the
hens to eat mixture of food and
filth, and all feeding places should
therefore be kept very clean, as filth
is not always discernible and may be
present in decayed condition. The
better plan is to feed on boards, or
in troughs, and clean them daily

PLANNING FOR A CABLE.
international Line to BE Laid to the
Scene of Operations.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-An attempt has
been on foot for some days past to arrange
with the powers now operating in China
for an international cable. connecting the
base of Chinese operations either with
Shanghai Port Arthur, Yokohama or some
other point with which much more speedy
communication can be had with the outside
world.
The State, War and Navy Departments
have all been parties to the conference,
which has been conducted with great
deal Of diplomatic secrecy Both the War
and Navy Departments have been figuring
for some months past on a transpacific
cable and consequently have al the neces-
sary information al their finger ends. The
War Department has now fifty miles of
cable ready to ship to Manila, to be fol-
lowed by four hundred more about the LIST
of August. This was to have been used for
interisland communication in the Philir-
pines, but the urgency of the case may
cause IL to be diverted to China.
No point has yet been decided on for
either end of this international line, Che
Foo and Taku both having been destroyed
for the Chinese terminus. II is six hun
dred miles by water from Taku TO Shang-
hal, the terminus of the English cable. Ii
is less than one hundred miles from Taku
to Port Arthur, but the Russian land lines
both in Korea and Manchuria have been
subject to such serious Interruptions as to
almost bar the considerable of this route
for the international connecting link.
The expense of this undertaking, accord
ing to the present tentative arrangements,
will be borne jointly by the powers inter-
ested 1t Is impossible, at present, to give
a fair estimate of the time that would be
consumed in carrying out the project, but
it is probable that the United States is in
position to do the work more quickly than
any other nation.

where render it improbable that they can

Germany has been obliged to withdraw

of Boxers is marching on kiao-Chau, Ger
many's territory.

troops will have difficulty in getting out of
