In years past the majority of poul-
try keepers advocated closed houses
where the temperature during the
night never went below freezing, but
III later years many successful breed
ers are using open front houses and
claim their fowls are healthier and
lay more eggs than when kept in
warm houses. This objection to the
closed house is that during tho
night the fowls would become hot

APPEARS TO BE RouP.

APPEARS TO BE kOUP.
Editor Home and Farm:
Please tell me what to do for my
chickens. They seem to be healthy,
but the comb and eyes get watery
and yellow hard matter gathers in
the mouth. Have lost two before ]
knew what was the matter with them,
/ gave black pepper and salts and
creased their heads. They seemed
to get better, but don't lay much
have about eighty-three.
Mrs. Minnie Bishop.
From symptoms given in above let
ter it seems that the fowls have roup,
though as yet in a mild form. Roup
first appears as a cold and usually
the fowls will gasp or make a Wheel
ing sound when breathing. The eyes
begin to water and the sides of the
head become inflamed and APPARENTLY
irritated, and to get relief the fowls
will continually rub their faces
against their wings. In a few days
a cheesy matter will form in the
corner of the eye or sometimes in
both, and in the mouth. At this
stage it is almost impossible 10 cure,
and it is safer to kill the fowl and
bury it. When the cold first appears
remove the fowl to a dry room and
feed lightly for few days, battle
the head with carbolizod vasaline
aud keep the fowls quiet. Clean up
the poultry house and whitewash in
and outside. Sprinkle lime on the
floor and the disease will disappear.

BAD FIRE AT DEVILS LAKE
Property Valued at Fifty Thousand
Dollars DESTROYED.

Famed by brisk winds from the
south, fire, which started in Flum-
merfelt's dray barn from unknown
cause, swept owe u block in the down
town district of Devils Lake, destroy
ing property worth over $50, 600. most
Of which is we'll covered by insurance.
The fire had a good start in the hay
of the barn before the alarm was
turned in and the heavy wind from
the south made it almost impossible
to stay its course.
The whole town turned out to fight
the conflagration and it was finally
put under control In Stolze's lumber
yard.
The heaviest loser is the Stole
Lumber company, which carries an
unusually complete line of lumber.
The loss is complete and is estimated
at $4,000, we'll covered by insurance.
Other losers were the Scandinavian
hotel, $4,000; zuric hotel, 1000;
Flummerfelt dray barn, $4,000; Mrs.
Hugh Roe, residence, $500.
James Kennedy, the Fargo contrac-
tor, lost a carload of cement, which
was stored in the dray barn.
The property destroyed is located
within a block and by hard fighting
the blaze was prevented from jumping
the street to Belts livery barn. If
this had happened the entire business
district of the city would undoubted-
ly have gone up in smoke.

RUST HAS DAMAGED CROPS
But It Will Not Be So Heavy as
Feared,

Considerable damage has been done
to crops in this state by black rust.
During the past three weeks the
weather has been for a good part Of
the time exceedingly sultry and more
or less oppressive, with frequent cleo
trical storms carrying rain and at
times strong winds.
Fortunately the wheat was so we'll
along that the rust has not done as
great damage as otherwise it would.
Early wheat is but little damaged
and late wheat will show a damage of
perhaps from 10 to 25 per cent. Some
damage has been done by the lodging
of grain, due to the severe storms
and heavy rains, at times approximate
ing c~loudbursts.
The average yield Of wheat will
not exceed twenty bushels.
Barley, which promised a yield of
from forty to fifty bushels, will not
yield more than thirty bushels. Oats
seem to have been least damaged of
any except where lodged by wind and
rain.
Reports of heavy damage from rust
are said to have been sent out for
speculative purposes.
