The Designer For February.

Spring comes early in the Fashion
world, and although snowhakes are
yet flying. the dainty garments in the
Designer for February begin to hint
of Easter and warm weather. Surely
a more stylish array for adults aud
Juveniles was never more attractiyely
set forth III colors and in black and
white. Prominent among the fashion
illustrations is one of fair lady in
Colonial costume. The details of the
costume may be copied with advantage
by those who intend to take part in
Washington Evening at HomeM de-
seribed elsewhere in the magazine.
Among other interesting features of
this number of the Designer may be
particularized The Latest in Window
Draperies, Mourning Costumes, Mil
linery. New Patterns in Knit Lace,
Book Notes, Framework. Seasonable
Novelties in Crochet Work. The Kim
dergarten at Home and Cakes oil all
kinds. Then there are: an excellent
continued story, The Evolution of
Contented Woman, a Valentines Dav
short story, The Revolt of Mr.. Hodge,
a child's story, Ethel's Silly Secret,
Health and Beauty, Notes, Household
Advice, Horticulture Hints. Points on
Dressmaking, Cupid's Dilemma, a
short comedy. brief resume of the
topics of the day in Among Ourselves,
A Valentine Dove Supper and some
musical bits of verse. The Designer
is well worth its price of $1.00 a year,
but in addition its publishers for a
limited period present each yearly
subscriber with pattern coupon good
for 50 cents in Standard patterns.
Looking at the matter from all stsnd
points The Designer certainly offers
more than any other fashion publica-
ton. and has become so well and ia
vorably known as to be a positive
household necessity.

The fidultsratlon OF Food Products.

The surprising extent to which our
commonest foods and drinks are adul-
terated and counterfeited, and the
crying necessity for both State and
national legislation which will control
and check the evil. have been well
proved by the results of the senatorial
investigation which was made in Chi
cago last spring. Before the Senate
committee, appointed just prior to
the adjournment of Congress and
headed by Senator Mason, several
prominent chemists, food manuf&ct-
urers. and others gave test nony.
DR.. Wiley, who has been chief chem
list OF the Agricultural Department at

that nearly every kind OF food upon
the market is, to a greater or less ex-

notice it first by seeing the fowl
stretch its neck up and make a pecu-
liar sneeze or cough sounding as
though it was choked. The cause is
easily found. The bird has been
roosting where it is reasonably warm
but door has been left aiar or there
is some cracks in the house where a
stream of cold air has poured in on it
thus causing the cold in the head.
The nostrils become closed up. The
bird keeps its mouth closed and sucks
away for breath which runs up the
tear ducts and infiames the eyes some
times so badly that they become closed
and the fowl is temporarily blind.
Then the inside of the mouth becomes
covered with fetid matter and the
disease becomes contagious. Upon
close examination you will find the in
side of the mouth is covered with
disagreeable smelling matter, and if
you will take the pains to catch the
bird and raise up its wings and look
beneath them you would find the fine
feathers stuck together with this
same poisonous matter caused by the
fowl putting its head under its wings
while it sleeps aud THU matter runs
out and saturates the feathers. The
first thing to do when you know YOU
have roup is to kill and bury the worst
cases. Reduce the number in your
chicken house If there are more than
fifteen or twenty in a room 10x12.
Where they are crowded the disease
soon gets a good hold. II you wish
to doctor the bad cases remove them
to some warm dry room where you
can feed them on rich soft food. Take
a lump of camphor gum as large as a
common hen eggs, drop into half
pint of sweet oil, let it boil and dis
solve the gum. This will make one
half pint Of camphorated sweet oil.
Use small sewing machine oil can
with spring bottom. Inject the oil
thoroughly into the nostrils and the
slit in the roof of the mouth Do this
two or three times Then fill YOUR
can with kerosene oil and repeat the
injection. II they are not too far
gone this viii generally stop the
wheeling and the bird begins to eat
and plume itself, when you can look
for it to get well.
Where you kill the worst cases and
turn your attention to the balance of
the flock my advice would be, reduce
the ilocks to proper numbers, get the
house dry. When ! say dry | mean
dust dry. Cover the floor with dry

Grinding Feed.

The last issue of the Special Farm
ers' Institute edition of the Wisconsin
Farmer for the year 1899 consists OF
twenty pages OF very interesting and
practical farm discussion. An article
contributed by Mr.. Theodore Bischofi
of North Andover Wis, is as follows:
The question OF grinding food for
stock has been practically settled by
the almost unanimous adoption Of
ground feed among our largest stock
raisers and most successful farmers.
In feeding swine there should always
be ground feed on hand and plenty of
it, to make slop once day or at least
twice a week. Grind corn, oats and
barley together in equal parts to
which add some bran. This makes
the best slop for hogs.
For milk cows we advise ear corn,
ground cob and all, mix with oats,
sack OF corn and bushel OF oats to
which add as much bran. This makes
splendid feed for cows, also for old
horses. Ground feed is a success and
it pays we'll for the labor it takes.
Those who have had hog cholera or
any other swine diseases among their
hogs should try ground feed and feed
slop once day. BY this feeding they
are made more healthy. The follow
ing mixture this paper has published
several times: Santonin, three ounces;
EPSON salts, ten pounds; common
soda, six pounds; ginger, half
pound; wood ashes, one bushel; shorts,
half bushel; oil meal, one peck.
Mix thoroughly, put in good paper
bags, and set away in dry place for
future use. We have fed this remedy
ever since it was first published. Ii
has proved to be very good and we
are SO much pleased with it we have
made the third lot OF it already. 1t
is not expensive, the santonin costing
the most, retailing at about 10 cents
an ounce The other parts don't cost
much. However it may be impossible
in some localities to get wood ashes.
If any are so situated probably they
have some relative who is living in
locality where wood ashes are plenti-
full, who can save some for them and
ship them to them. The ashes must
be fresh; we take them directly from
our stoves. We want to give full
credit for the foregoing valuable in
formation to this paper, which we
highly honor.

John Roth was born at Darmstadt,
Germany, Sept. 2S, 1882. In 1852 he
came to America, and in 1860 return
to his native land. In the same year

EDITOR HERALD: During the late
fall and early winter there has been
SO much complaint Of chickens diving
with SO called cholera that / thought
perhaps it would be well TO give a de-
scription of the disease and a very
common remedy. The best writer's
of today on poultry tell Us there is no
cholera IN Wisconsin We have each
tall and spring something going
around which kills many Of our best
fowls. In our humble opinion it is
simply roup. 1t is bad enough. Of
course, as it kills them and cholera
could do no more. One is Just as con-
tagious as the other That is, roup in
its worst stages is very contagious,
and they tell as cholera is always TO
be dreaded even in its first stages
Roup in tie first place is simply a
cold or catarrh in the head. You will
