BUMBLEFCoT.
4 Disease That is the Bnne Of the
Poultryman's Life-The Cure.

A Disease That is the Bnne Of the
Poultryman's Life-The Cure.
Bumblefoot is noticed mostly in fowls
that are fat, and in heavy varieties is
attributed by some to jumping from
high roosting places, but a writer in
Western Poultry Journal has known
very bad cases to break out in flocks
which were accustomed to roosting on
fat surfaces and where all conditions
were seemingly perfect, although un-
doubtedly the trouble arises from
bruises Of the feet either by stones in
scratching or from Jumping. Cases
have been known where the corn form
ed on the underside Of the foot, cover
Ing a surface measuring three-quarters
of an inch and when forcfbly removed
pulled with it a hard white pus Of the
same length. Treatment, if taken in
time, is simple and effective, and con
sists in keeping the bottom of the foot
soft either by placing the fowl on straw
or softening the swollen foot by the
application Of vasehne or some carbolic
antiseptn. Proper treatment consists

one part, and water, fifty parts, bind
ing on it also an ointment consisting OF
one part antiseptic and forty parts vas

sists in binding on the diseased foot a
small piece Of salt pork, which will
soften it in two or three days, when
the corn may be removed and the pork
again applied to heal up the wound.
Unless treated bumblefoot will pass
upward through the leg OF the fowl at

ness and gangrene or assesses. Sbe

For Quality Eggs.

The day Of the market poultryman is
dawning, for now the big egg buyers
demand eggs by the dozen instead Of
by the case. Buying by case means
accepting good, bad and rotten; buy
ing by the dozen means that eggs are
cand1ed and poor ones not paid for.
This aids the poultryman who Desires
to work up a high class demand for a
strictly fancy product. The largest
buyers Of eggs now demand quality
before quantity, and they pay good,
liberal margins over the market price to
get what they want Clean, fresh eggs
r what they demand, and they soon
cut from their lists the ones who for
ward the inferior stuff along with the
good.

By cleaning the fowl house and
painting the roost with some good

being careful to reach all hooks, cram

A SEVERE FIRE,
Salisbury Visited by a ContIagration Which
Caused Serious Loss.

Caused Serious Loss.
Sails ur7 was visited by. fire
yesterday morning which was
probably the most serious thu city
has had for some time.
The fire stated on the roof of a
building occupied by Hartman &
Gather who manufacture crates.
A strong wind was blowing and it
was only a short while until the
small blaze was, famed into a Sc
rious 6:e. An adjoining ware
house used by the Barber Buggy &
Wagon Company, soon took fire
and was destroyed. The flames
made a jump to a warehouse used
by George Martin for the storage
of cement, etc., and~several build
ings adjacent also became victims.
The fire worked over to the ware
house of the Frick Company and
was stopped here, Had it not
been for a lull in the wind and
this tin warehouse, q large portion
of the town on the other side of
the railroad would probably now
he in ashes.
The hremen did fine work and
they deserve much credit for the
way they handled the fire. Their
untiring efforts did wonders tow
ard preventing a much greater
confagration.
The loss resulting from the fire
nay reach the neighborhood of
800, 900, but tt is is probably rath:-,
ar a large estimate. Among tM
losers may be mentioned The Bar
ber Buggy and WagepC Company.
They had a numbgfo of Tew bug
gies and other w6icleTurned and
their loss WIZ be ABOUT $4,000 or
10000, They have So 900 insur-
ance.
: George Martins loss will be
probably 81 500 with about half
that amount III insurance.
Hartman & Gather had a lot Of
material destroyed, but it's value
has not been ascertained. It is
not known whether or not their
stock was insured.
G. A. Montgomery and X H.
McNeely both suffered small loS
by reason of their coal taking fire.
The blaze a extinguished be-
fore the fire had obtained good
Roadway.
V. Wallace & Sons were the
oNpers of several of the burned
buildings. Their loss will be
about $4,000 with $4,000 insur-
ance.
There were other small individ-
ual losses which if figured out
might reach a round sum in the
aggregate.

The CEMETERY ROAD.
y There Will be Delay In Commencing Wo k

There will be a delay in begin
ming work on the new driveway to

ing letter from Quartermaster
General G. F. Humphrey, which
explains the cause of the delay:
Il have the honor to inform
you that the route decided upon

purpose Congress has appropriated
SIS 600, 1s from a point or Main
street, nearly opposite the .ceme-
terry, crossing underneath the

Company, which fronts the ceme-
terry.
"This office has received a deed
FROM n. B. McCanless and wife.
owners, for a right.of-way from
Main street to the tracks of tho
Southern Railway Company. It
that the title to the right
of-way for that portion of the
contemplated roadway extending
beneath the tracks of the South
ern Railway Company is vested
in the North Carolina Railroad
Company, a private corporation,
The Southern Railway Company
being lessaes of the railroad. It
will therefore be necessary for the
government to obtain a deed from
she North Carolina Railroad Com
pany for a r;ght-of-way for this
portion of the roadway. I am
advised by Mr. A. H. Ellis, secre-
tary aud treasurer of this COM
pany, that it will be necessary for
the stockholders to authorize the
execution of the deed conveying
a right~of-way beneath the tracks
of the Southern Railway Com
pany, and as the next stockhold-
ers' meeting does not take place
until the second Thursday in July,
I have deferred action on the cou-
struction of the roadway until
that time.
"When the necessary %right-of-
way is obtained the construction
of the roadway will be promptly
taken up and the work pushed to
esmpletlon." \

Dry Bran For Young Fowls,

One poultryman scattered dry bran
about where the chicks could pick at 1t
and found that it worked wonders in
checking bowel trouble in chicks. Dry
bran is most excellent for both young

stimulant to egg production. Give it a

gradients entering into them are printed
ON the bottle-wrapperS and their formula
are attested under oath as being complete
and correct. You know just what you are
paying for and that the ingredients are
gathered from Natures laboratory, being
selected from the most valuable native
medicinal roots found growing in our
American forests and while potent to cure
are perfectly harmless even to the most
delicate women and children. Not drop
of alcohol enters into their composition.
A much better agent is used both for ex-
tracting and preserving the medicinal
principles used in them, ViZ.-pure triple

intrinsic medicinal properties of it's own,
being a most valuable anti-septic and anti
