WINTER POULTRY ILLS.
Methods of Treatment Recommends
For Catarrh and Liver Congestion.

One of the commoneSt of the Wlnfer
diseases of poultry is catarrh. Cold,
some people call it; others speak OF 1t
as roup. 1t is not this last. although
so close is the resemblance at times
that one could easily be misled. Any
way, catarrh is serious enough. 1t Is
catching also. Among birds roosting
with heads pressed closely together
the sick ones are sure to give it to
healthy fowls. 1t seems to follow
along the line of pure breeds. This
may be due to the fact that the penned
breeding stock from which eggs and
breeders have been bought has been
housed too warmly and pampered and
that somehow q predisposition to take
on catarrh follows down through the
generations.
| You will first notice it by peculiar
shake of the head, next a running at
the nostrils and sometimes gurglinS in
the throat. If you cannot master this
phase of the disease in young fowls in
few days. better kill them. The
sniffy nosed should be separated from
the we'll. housed by themselves, fed
heavily on rich foods, with arsenite OF
anthony or quinine in drinking water
and mash. The head should occasion
ally be dipped in kerosene-half water,
! half kerosene. Two applications have
been known to stop the nostrl dis
charge Get arscnite tablets one one
thousandth of a grain in strength and
Mace twelve of these in one pint Of
water. If you give quinine give two
grains to the fowl per day. This dis
ease is decidedly dangerous among the
Young fowls, so many die with inGam-
nation Of the lungs, which seems to
follow the catarrh.
The above disease is likely to take
hold of the young in the cool days Of
fall extending to the older fowls in
winter. There is one winter disease
of fowls a year old or over that is
seldom known among the young-liver
congestion. 1t is probably due to a
rich ration, like corn and lack of suf-
ficient grit. If one feeds sufficient
bran with corn, as bran is a laxative,
the danger may be averted, though the
grit be missing.
Quite often one will not guess this
trouble until the older, fatter hens
begin dying. The remedy is varied
food, grit and exercise.-Farm and
Fireside.

KILLING WITCH GLASS.
Two Ways of Fighting the Pasture
Weed Distributions Is Unusual.

One spring witch grass began to
show in clover pasture. 1t was
wet season, and we couldn't keep it
down, says a Wisconsin correspondent
Of the American Cultivator. The next
season l put some ground into cab
bage, just little cabbage along where
this quack was, and there is one of the
crops that will help to clean the land
by the amount of thorough cultivation
Of the ground I hoed it out all sum.
TENDER, and last season put strip Of
corn again on this same ground in or
der to kill the quack out if there was
any left, but l failed to find any there
at all, and it was cleaned out just by
working it thoroughly with the cab
bage crop the year previous.
A somewhat unusual method of fight.
ing witch grass was described in
Wisconsin farmers meeting. The in
tested land was heavily MANFRED ir

nearer the surface When the grass

weakest stage, when it is most easily
destroyed 1t is then plowed under,
using a chain to turn under the tops
and then carefully bury all the grass.
The field is then narrowed and disk
narrowed, the harrow being set over so
! as to slightly loosen the upper soil.
| Then buckwheat is narrowed in, two
| bushels per acre.
1t was found that the buckwheat will
keep down all the witch grass surviv-
! ing, and the little that is left will be
killed if the field is plowed and left in
! the furrow over winter. No attempt

cred sufficient repayment for the use
of the land one year. Those who
would be unwilling to give up their
| land entirely for n season could plant

had bloomed and was turned under.
No doubt q hoed crop would more thor
oughly kill out the grass than any 9TH
err means and would afford some direct
return for the labor.

Working Soils When Wet.

Soils should not be worked. when
they are wet. This is especially true
of those which do not have much or
ganic matter. Clay soil makes good
brick because it is free from organic
matter. Working some soils when
they are too wet and allowing them to
bake in the sun really makes brick of
the parts turned up. and those parts
will be about as productive as bricks
would be.--Farm Progress.
