The Prairie Chicken

The prairie chicken, healthier, or pinnated grouse, is one of the hand somest of wild fowl. It was so numer. ous in the colonial days that appren- tices must not be compelled to eat it's meat oftener than twice weekly.
 Bstween 1870 and 1875 prairie chick ems existed in such abundance in most of the western states that carload after carload was shipped to seaboard cities. Twenty years later from these same localities it was reported that prairie chickens were "very scarce," and today the number has dwindled almost to eX- tinction. A feeble remnant of about two hundred yet remains on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, in which state it is unlawful to buy, sell or other wise dispose of them or to have them in possession. So recklessly have these birds been killed off that the entire species, once thought ineXhaustible, seems likely soon to disappear from the earth.-Dumb Animals.

An Irishman going along country road, saw a bull in field paving up the dust of his pasture, bull fashion. Being of humorous turn of mind, it occurred to him that it would be good joke to take the bull by the horns and rub his nose in his own dust. The idea was so funny that he lay down and rolled and yelled with merriment over the fun he was going to have at the bulls expense. Finally he climbed the fence to put his joke into execution. A moment later as Pat picked himself out of the dust on his own side ofthe fence aud took stock to see bow much of him was left, he drily remarked to himself, "Faith, and it's a good thing had me laugh first" We have seen local ap- plications of the old story.-Ex.

The steamship Ramona, of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company,was wrecked in fog last Sunday evening at Spanish island, which lies at the entrance to Sumner strait, Alexander archipelago. No lives were lost, as the crew and pas. sengers were taken off by tue steamship Northwestern, of the Alaska Steamship O., which was passing. The Ramona is said to be hopeless wreck, and very little, if any, of her large cargo, consist ing mostly of canned fish, can be saved. The Ramona was under the command of Captain Martin Taaffe, for long time mate on the Cottage City. This was practically his first experience as captain of a passenger ship. A later report announces the arrival of the Northwestern at Ketchikan with all hands aboard.

(Answer by Uncle Jo.)

/ always like to get a letter like
this. The woman who thinks ahead
is the one who generally succeeds.
Two things are largely factors in
the starting of colds, whether it be
roup or simple running at the nose.
The first is foul air; the second,
dampness. Either of these factors
will affect the breathing part of the
birds system. Together, they work
much mischief in a flock.
Dry, pure air will do more to keep
your birds well than all the condition
powders and medicines to cure sick
birds. 1t is very much easier to
keep well than to get well when once
i'll. If we gave as much thought to
prevention of disease as to cure, we
should escape much of the disaster
that visits the average poultry flock.
Crowded birds tend toward con-
tracing diseases of respiration
Crowded chicks in close brood coops
suffer for want of needed pure air.
Hens and cocks doubled up to make
IOOm lOI the growing SIOCk nearing
maturity can not get what air they
require for proper health. If to the
foul air we add a leaky roof, or
cracks in the boarding near the
roosts, or damp earth floor to the
small coops, we have good reason
to expect trouble to the birds that
are compelled to roost in such a
place. Either build more coops and
houses, or sell or eat your chicks and
hens, down to the number that you
can properly house. Use wire net
ting freely on the fronts of all your
coops and houses-letting out the
over-used air and admitting sun
shine at MONDAY. Allow roost room
so that no two birds have to crowd
together because of lack of space on
the roost. If the floors are damp,
either put in board floor and cover
with dry soil, or fill in the house
with earth high enough to leave the

WHAT ROUP is AND HOW TO
TREAT 1T.

Messrs. Editors: Roup is a germ
disease, infectious, and apparently
contagious = that is, transmissible
from one bird to another. 1t is gen.
orally recognized by swollen eyes, a
discharge from the nostrils, some
times yellowish, cheesy patches
about the mouth and throat, and a
bad-smelling breath. 1t is thought
that more than one micro-organism
may produce it.
Some of the following suggestions
have been made by the Bureau of
Animal Industry for handling an
outbreak:
First, clean out the hens by ad-
ministering epson salts, at the rate
Of one-third teaspoonful to each hen.
This can be easily given in the even
ing mash.
Second, clean up the premises
that is, the houses, dropping boards,
watering places, etc., and sprinkle
around literally air-slaked lime.
Third, purify the drinking water
with potassium permanganate. A
good way to give the permanganate
is to dissolve teaspoonful of the
crystals in a quart of water which
We will call stock solution; after
the birds are watered, pour into
their drinking vessels just enough
of the stock solution to turn the wa
ter deep pink or claret red. Iron
sulphate may be substituted, using
just enough to give the water an
inky taste.
