Fifty years ago today the north was
principally concerned with two things,
the equipment of troops and provision
for the families of volunteers. and to
those two purposes it was devoting mill
lions.
Men enough had volunteered and
we're volunteering to answer Lincoln S
call twice over, but without arms and
equipment these men would be of little
value. Moreover, that they might vol
unteer the more readily, they should
know that their families would not suf-
fer in their absence.
AS early as April 10 meeting of
New York merchants had in 10 minutes
subscribed more than $4,000 for the
soldiers, while on the same day the
Philadelphia city council had appropri-
ated $1,0O0,000 to equip volunteers and
support their families.
On the next DAY, April 20, had been
held the huge meeting in Union square.
New York, and from that day on each
mornings papers told of union meet
ings in cities and towns all over the
north from Maine to Minnesota at each
of which sums of money were raised
for the volunteers and the families.
No town was too small or too re-
mote to take part in the movement.
Every town in Illinois is mastering
soldiers" wrote a correspondent for the
Boston Transcript so years ago today.
Money is poured out freely as water,
and ladies unite in making shirts, blank
cts, even coats and pants, for the sol
diers. Arrangements have been made
to take care of the families of the sol
diers during their absence. All say
none shall fight the battles of their
country at their own expense.
Collections for volunteers families
were taken up in the churches, from
the steeples of which everywhere flew
the stars and stripes. The schoolteach-
ers of Boston surrendered from 10 to
% per cent of their pay for the cause,
aggregating more than $4,000.
Municipal appropriations varied be-
tween the 100000 of New York and
the $4,000 of Sag Harbor, but all gave
freely. Individual contributions, too,
were Of every size, from the child's
dime to the $4,000 of William Gray
of Boston or the 100000 subscribed
by Moses Y. Beach, former proprietor
of the New York Sun.
Contributions during the first fort
night after the presidents call for
troops were estimated at SIC, 100000
in money, and $5,000,000 addition IN
arms, clothing, etc. The broadway
bank of New York contributed $250,09O,
and 10 other banks of the city $780,
600.
A week later the list of contributions
from states, cities and towns was set
at s22.277, 900 Connecticut and Illinois
had given $2,00O,000 each; New York
and Ohio sS,0O0,0 900. Pennsylvania s3,-
500. 600, Indiana, Maine, New Jersey,
Vermont all $1,000, 900 or more The
municipalities had given amounts rang
ing from the $1,000 of Galena, Ill,
Grants town, to the $4,000 of Gin
cinnati and the $2,173,000 of New. York
city.
Nor were the contributions confined
to money. In GAINESVILLE, Ohio, property
owners agreed TO give rent free to vol
unteers during their absence; in New
Jersey summer resort buildings Were

offered free to the families of yolun-
teers.
Merchants furnished cloth for dni-
forms free; railroads offered passes for
the transportation of the volunteers;
hotel keepers and caterers refused 70
take money for their board. To send
the troops to washington, that was the
one puFpos4 of all, and everyone wished
to have his share in it.
Each man gave what he had. Mem
bers of the New York Yacht club put
their yachts at the service of the gov
eminent for such purposes as they
might be suited. The firm of Hotc...--ss
& SoLs, or Ckaron, Conn.,, offered the
state a bronze rifled cannon with sup
ply of q runition sufficient for the
war and agreed to supply others at
cost.
Another arms manufacturer, Samuel
Colt. of Hartford, Conn, offered to or
ganize a regiment and supply them with
breech loading rifles of the latest de-
Sign and saber bayonets, and proposed
to furnish drillmasters, so that the
regiment should be fit to be accepted
INTO the regular troops.
Every race and class and creed e.
sponded alike. In New York city alone
British residents organized one regi-
ment, Scotch residents another. 1er-
mans a third, French and Italians a
fourth. There were Irish reg meas
and there was the zouave regiment or
ganized by William Wilson, a or 7er
prize fighter. out Of the "Bowery boys
with the avowed purpose of meeting
and disposing Of the ''pluguglies" Of
Balumore.
Nor did men have a monopoly of pa
triotic activity, for hardly had the first
gun of Sumter sounded before the wom-
en- of the north came forward to take
their share in the war.
April 10 a society of women was or
ganized at Bridgeport, Conn, quickly
followed by others at Charlestown and
Lowell, Mass, Syracuse, n. Y, C1eve-
land, Ohio, and other points, so that u
days after the fall of Sumter nine such
societies were reported.
Some of these, like that of Cleveland,
had only the purpose of caring for the
families of the volunteers. The Lowell
women. however, proposed to supply
nurses for the sick and wounded and
to bring the latter home when practical
BILE, to purchase clothing, provisions
and matters of comfort not supplied by

impracticable. The woman of 81 did not

REMEDY FOR CHICKEN CHOLERA.

Just now, when chickens. are so scarce,
and high-priced, should like you to pub

found true) for fowl cholera.
I never knew until recently that chol-
era sometimes assumes a chronic form,
spreads slowly and is troublesome for
weeks and even months. Having always
been used to that form which runs rap
idly through the flock, destroying large
portion of a flock within week or two,
this chronic form was a surprise 10 me.
After making houses, roosts, nests,
yards, etc, as clean as possible, disin-
feet same thoroughly, using creolin, car
bolic acid, or other disinfectant. Then
feed twice daily to entire flock one tea
spoonful OF the following TO two quarts
of corn meal. Mix dry then wet for a
dough as usual.
Prescription for fowl cholera:
Two ounces pulveried capsicum, 2
ounces pulverized asafedita, ounce pull
veried rhubarb. ounces Spanish brown,
ounces flowers of sulphur.
Fifty cents mixed at drug store.
Nix thoroughly and keep in air-tight
can. Keep no water where flock can get
TO it, excepting pure. clean water, in
which has been placed a little EPSON

Look out for lice now and grease
heads. under wings. around vent around
feet and on back, with lard in which
drop a few drops each kerosene and car
