Roup in It's Various Forms.

The malignant diphtheretic rouD is
it's worst form. and as this type is
highly contagious, the. best remedy
is g good sharp hatchet. for it saves
the bird frcm intense misery and the
owner from much care and anxiety.
Neither is it safe for the caretakcr TO
breathe. the foul stencil which arises
from The disease. Besides, bird
which seems to. recover from it is
practically worthless.
The next worse form is free from
the canker in the throat, but both
sides of the head are usually bally
swollen, both eyes close and ofttimes
1naturate. If the bird RECEIVERS from
this form it generally loses ono or
both eyes, as the great Inflammation
shrivels the eye entirely away. In
the mild type of this form, the eyes
close, maturate slightly and stick to-
gether. Cold cream or vaseline rub
bed on every morning and night will
nearly always cure them.
Roup sometimes assumes the rneu
monia type If taken in season a tea
spoonful of Arabian balsam, two or
three doses, will nearly always cure.
When the roup first makes it's appear

PUTTING UP PRICE ON PORK
WHOLESALERS COMPLAIN THAT SMALL
NESS OF CORN CROP MAKES
SCARCITY OF PIGS-RETAIL-
ERS NOT ADVANCING

The wholesale price of beef mutton lamb and
veal is a cent and a half higher a pound than
last year this time. and pork has reached a
figure away beyond any previous price for The
last twenty-five years, with only exception.
The exception noted was about twelve years
ago. when the big blizzard of 1888 so blocked
traffic in the West that shortage of hogs
CURED all along the line, and brought the price
up to IA cents a pound That is the price it is
now selling wholesale. and retail dealers say
that they are losing two cents pound last
years scale.
The recent rise is present restricted TO the
wholesale firms. and the retailers say they will
not advance the price TO consumers unless the
wholesale market further advances
The cause of the rise is said be due TO the
shortage in the crop Last year at this
time there was considerable talk of the same
kind, when the big wholesalers attempted to ad-
vance the beef market. At that time combna-
ton known as the Big Four" which included
Swift, Nelson Morris, Armour and Cudahy. were
sending all the beef to Europe. Later a shortage
occurred In the home market which brought
the price up.
f. F. ONeill. president of the Retail Butchers
Protective Association in speaking of the beef
market said that he did believe the recent
advance due in any way a shortage in the
supply. but the almost utter destruction of the
corn crop, which made the cost of production
much more.
Il wish to say behalf of the association
represent" said Mr.. ONeiIl. that do not think
the wholesalers all to blame for the rise.
The cost of production is much more this year
than last. We will not increase our price to the
consumer unless get another rise from the
! wholesalers. The present price will evidently
hold until spring, there is no indication now
| that the cost of production will be less until
! that time. All that talk about the shortage in
| the crop being offset by the fuller wheat
harvest made without considering the meat

DTSREGARDTNG THE SABBATH.
WHEN MINISTERS APPROVE OF SUNDAY
GOLF PLAYING WHAT CAN BE EX-
PECTED OF OTHERS?

The members of the Womans National Sabbath
Alliance decided yesterday at the monthly public
meeting that observance of the Sabbath must he
developed in the churches before it be expect
ed of those outside. One speaker said:
A better example must be demanded from the
ministers. When a minister of the Gospel says
openly that he approves Of Sunday golf playing
how can expect that others will have scruples?
In the families OF church members, too. there is a
deplOraDle lack Of reverence for the sabbath We
need TO oring back the days Of parental govern
Inent when children Obliged to go to church
and sit In the pew with their parents-the days
when people TOO busy TO hold family
worship.
Another spoke OF the indifference of the average
preacher to Sunday travel and lamented such wide
spread lack OF reverent feeling. All agreed that
If ministers and church members Were more re-
gardful of Sabbath sanctty, reform might be ef-
fected, but will be doubtful otherwise.
Various members gave instances or Sapbath
breaking that had under their personal no

members are at liberty to join.
