MARRIED IN A CONVENT.
First Time a Nuptial rlass Was
Ever Celebrated in Convent
in America.

New York, April t9.-Miss May
Matilda Organ, of Sillery, Que,
and DR.. Gustav A. Taschereau, of
St. Fernand, Nova Scotia, a nephew
of the late Cardinal Taschereau,
have Just been married in the Con-
vent of the Ursuline Nuns at Bed
ford Park.
Miss Organ has been living,
since last summer, in the convent
on account of her sister, a nun, who
came from South America to the
Bedford Park Convent to regain
her health, and special permission
was secured from the ecclesiastical
authorities OF New York and Que
bee. The occasion is said to have
been the first limc that a nuptial
high mass has been celebrated with
in a convent IN this country.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1901-04-23

with any of the fowls, the birds.
of that lot should be changed to
fresh ground, and the sick ones
killed. The infected excrement
should be carefully scraped up.
and burned, and the inclosure in
which it has been thoroughly dis
infected with one-half per cent.
solution of sulphuric acid, or "a
one per cent. solution of carbolic
acid, which may be applied with
an ordinary watering pot. Dead
birds should be burned or
buried deeply at distance from
the grounds frequented by the
fowls.
The germs of the disease are
taken into the system only by
the mouth, and for this reason
the watering troughs and feed
ing places must be kept thor
oughly free from them
by frequent disinfec-
ton with one of the solutions
mentioned.
Treatment of sick birds is not
recommended under any circum-
stances. The malady runs it's.
course, as a rule, in one, two of
three days, and it can only be
checked with great difficulty.
Roup is one of the most dread
ed of diseases. 1t is sometimes
spoken of as the winter disease.
Thesymptoms are hoarse breath
ing, swelled eyes, discharge at
the nostrils, and sometimes a,
fetid breath. Treatment is not
generally satisfactory. The.
affected birds should be remov-
ed, the houses cleaned and disin-
fected. Damp, foul air and cold
drafts in the poultry houses
should be carefully avoided
whenever fowls are subject to-
roup. A decrease in the proper
ton of meat food in the daily "a
tion is held by some to be highly
beneficial in warding off this
disease.
In general, the treatment Of
the common diseases of fowls is,
not 50 satisfactory as preventa-
tive measures. Nowhere more.
than in the poultry business does
that old adage apply, Gan ounce
Of -~c~cati-~ T. 10Th pound
of cure"

Some Diseases of Fowls

obstacles to be overcome in poul-
try raising. The house may be
kept free from lice by liberal
use of kerosene emulsion, and by
whitewashing. Whitewashserves
a double purpose, that of Kidding
the house of lice and making the
interior much lighter, says G. c.
Watson, in Michigan Poultry
Breeder. A small window, with
the interior of the house white
washed, will make the building
as light as much larger window
without the whitewash.
If the poultry houses are kept
free from lice, the fowls can usu-
ally be depended upon to keep
themselves free by liberal use
of the dust bath. If, however,
body lice are found, they may be
successfully treated by busting
insect powder under the feathers
in the evening and allowing the
fowls to remain undisturbed on
the perches after the treatment.
Gapes in chickens frequently
destroy large mum bers, and are
caused by tremendous worms in
the windpipe. The number of
worms is sometimes so great as
to completely choke the fowl. a
feather moisteued with turpen-
tine or kerosene oil and inserted
into the windpipe and turned un-
til the worms are removed is a
practice quite largely recon-
mended. Others recommend
removing the worms with a fine
wire or horsehair, doubled so as
to form loop; this is to be in
serted into the windpipe and
turned until the worms are de-
tached, and then withdrawn,
brin. iEs the worms "ith i
Another remedy practiced by
some poultrymen is to cause the
chickens to breathe hard air in a
confined space, in which fine,
slaked lime is occasionally dust
ed.
Preventative measures are far
more satisfactory than the treat
ment of infected fowls. The
pens and yards should be kept
clean and dry, and the chickens
kept in as thrifty condition as
possible by supplying proper
food and exercise. While these
conditions may not insure abso-
lutte freedom the disease in every
instance, yet to moisture and
filth can be attributed nearly al
cases of gapes, particularly if the
yards or pens were previously
occupied by infected birds
Yards that have been allowed t.
become filthy and infected will
the cape worm, may be improv
ed by draining and thorough cul
tivation. Heavy applications o
lime just before cultivating OF
saturation of the soil with strong
salt solution provided no croI
to be grown are recommended
by experienced poultrymen.
