ABOUT ROUP IN FOWLS.
The "Grippe" of the Feathered Rae
Which quite often Proves
n Fatal Ailment.

This is the season of the year when
this disagreeable, anG often fatal dis
ease is most prevalent among the
fowls. 1t is the Grippe" of the feath-
cred race, which quite often runs into
consumption, OF general wasting away.
1t begins with a cold, with running
at the eyes and nostrils-with rattle,
cough or wheeling, and frequently ac-
companied with swelling about the
eyes, and the collection of offensive
fetid matter in mouth and eyes.
1t is a disease which seems to be
confined to domestic fowls and birds;
as we have yet to hear of anything
in feathers that is wild, having this
disease when killed or captured.
This disease is a most disagreeable
n to doctor, and a hard one to cure.
We have had many ups and downs
with it, and have tried, probably, ev-
cry remedy that anyone else has ever
tried; and we are prepared to say
that none of them can be relied upon
in every instance. We have cured
roup on many occasion, but on a
great many others we have failed
and we have had more of failure than
success.
The truth is, roup is largely the
outgrowth of inexperience, and mis-
management on the part of the poul-
trymen. 1t is a disease that may be
more easily prevented than cured. In
deed, there need be 40 rCup under
proper management.
DryneSs, warmth and exercise are
the three things necessary to keep
fowls in health during the cold and
wet season of the year. The first
named means a good roof and siding
to the henhouse, and the second I'M
plies q snug corner for the rOosting
perches-a space curtained off in n
corner, SO that there will be a warmer
temperature about the chickens on the
roOst at night than is generally cur
rent in the more open space of the
house. The third essential suggests
dust, where grain may be thrown for
the fowls to scratch for.
Situated after this ann there will
be little, or no roup. 1t is either the
cold and vet, Or the warm and damp
situetion which induces rOup, and tbs
~listless bird that has no place to
scratch about in, and thus utilize it's
natural function, That is first 20 take it.
Probably the best remedy for roup
is a quick dip of the head of the sick
bird into a small bucket of warm salty
water-several dips in succession after
it has gone to rOost of an evening.
This remedy repeated three or four
times a week will often cure roup in
the milder form. But, if the canker
and offensive matter has appeared, q
Ratchet is the best remedy.-H. u.

PROVES GREATPOWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism.

Hundreds Of people afflicted with rheu.
matlsm nave spent years under the care
or excellent physicians in vain. Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that it is fastened ON them for life. Mrs.
Dlnsmore was not willing to join the
ranks of the hopeless merely because her
doctor did not know how to help her.
Here is her story:
-Four years ago I suffered greatly
with rheumatism i'll my hands and
knees. After I had been sitting a while
my limbs seemed so heavy 1 could hardly
walk on the first attempt. So long as I
kept moving I was all right, but just as
soon as l stopped, something seemed to
settle in my knees and make them ache.
My HANDS were SO bad 1 couldn't touch
the palms of them III a fiat surface; they
were swollen and panied So"
"Did you call i'll n physician?"
CT octored steadily for over a year
then one doctor said: you have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything Still, it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism"
"How, then, did you get rid of it?"
"At different times I had read in vari-
Ous publications about DIR. Williams
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People,
and L finally decided to try them. I took
them steadily for four months in ac-
cordance with the directions. By that
time I was completely cured"
"Have you been free from it ever
SINGER"
"Since then I have had but one slight
return of my trouble, and a box or two of
the same pills made me all right again"
Mrs. T. A. Dinsmore lives i'll hearty
enjoyment of her recovered health at
Woburn, Mass, entirely freed from tho
grave anxieties that rheumatism always
brings. When it appears i'll but a single
joint it shows that the blood is in a faulty
state in the whole body. 1t may at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one Of
the dangers is that it may break out in
the heart and then the result must be
fatal. The only security is to keep the
blood all the time i'll a perfectly sound
condition.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills make healthy
blood. All other relief is superficial.
This is thorough. These pills are sold
by all druggists.

wHEAT-CLovER ROTATION
The Growth OF Glover improves
the Soil Sp4endidIy For
the Coming Crop.

The growth of clover improves the
crop. When clover is sown among the
young wheat, the roots strike deep
and the plant collects and feeds on
nitrogen. Thus the clover stores up
a supply Of this useful and expensive
element of plant food in the suhsoil
for the growth of wheat or corr which
follows.
The large amount of nitrogen which
the clover contains is one of it's most
prominent features, it being twice as
much as that found in the grain crops.
1t is found that the two average clover
crops of the one year contain about
four times as much nitrogen as would
be contained in an average crop of
wheat grown on the same land. And
there still remains in the roots, stub
BILE and leaves of clover more than
enough nitrogen that can be used by
the wheat crop which will follow.
The thing for the farmer to do is
to have a fine growth of clover. This
he can easily get by using the proper
dInOuuC VI pOtdSH anu puOSpuOIlC
acid. In the clover, as in all the root
crops, potash is the most needed ele-
ment; therefore, potash fertilizers are
found to be the best for them.
In a rotation, by growing a clover
crop, the farmer should insure a rank
growth of clover by supplying plenty
of potash. Thus he will get the ex-
pensive nitrogen, which is furnished
by the clover, at a small cost.
An average corn and timothy crop
will use and take from the soil some
three hundred pounds of nitrogen. II
the farmer would buy three hundred
pounds Of nitrogen to put back into
the soil as a fertilizer, it will cost him
some $45. But he can save most OF
this expense by growing a good clover
crop, which will supply, as we have
seen, plenty Of nitrogen for the corn
crop.
In growing clover, an excess o.
phosphoric acid will have a tendency
to unduly stimulate the crop and forte
1t to early maturity, which meay-
poorer growth. Therefore, If fertilizea

A little boy of eight years whose

Kind Of food, was always nervous and
suffered from a weak condition of the

taken down with appendicitis and after
the operation the doctor, knowing that
his intestinal digestion was very weak,
put him on Grape-Nuts twice a day.

months thereafter, his Father states,

For fifteen years my scalp and fore

ment made a complete cure in one week.

 The forty hours adoratlon of the Blessed Sacrament, in memory of the forty hours during which the sacred body of Jesus was in the sepulchre. began at Milan about the year 1534. 1t soon spread into other cities of Italy, and in 1851 was introduced into Rome. where it was celebrated on the firsp Sunday of every month by the Arch confraternity della Trinita dei Pelle- grini. founded by St Philip Neri In 154S. and on the third Sunday In every month by the Archconfraternity di s.
