the committees which he had appointed
10 draw up new rules of procedure. The
majority of the supreme court decided
that the court of appeals had no vote
IN the adoption of the rules, and that the
members of the lower court could only
act in an advisory capacity.
1t Is understood that the question rela-
tive to the right of the appellate court
TO vote came up when it was ascertained
that the entire membership of the court
OF apreals stood with certain members
of the supreme court on the adoption of
some important rules, which were defeat
ed by reason of the fact that the lower
court was not allowed to vote on their
adoption.
-'he supreme court today held a session
relative to new rules of practice, and
'neir action will probably be announced
ut the session of the courts on June
70. The court of appeals did not meet
with the supreme court at today's session.

POSSIBLE REMEDY FOR ROUP
Disease Is Difficult to Cure and Az.
fected Birds Should Be Removed
to Roomy Coop.

Roup may be known from an often.
sive discharge from the nostrils and
swelling below the eyes. The swell.
ing in some cases entirely closes the
eyes. This disease is known as roup,
and. Is difficult to cure. Remove all
the healthy fowls. Put the affected
ones in a warm, dry shed or roomy
coop.
Wash out the nostrils and mouth
with warm water, using a small
syringe to do so; then put piece of
camphor the size of a hickory nut
into one quart of boiling water and
hold the fowls head over it for ten
minutes; repeat three times a day.
Also give one teaspoonful Of cod liver
oil at a dose twice a day. If the
swelling closes the eyes, open them
and syringe out the yellow matter
and wash with warm water into
which drop of carbolic acid has been
thoroughly stirred.
Fowls that are badly diseased
should be killed and buried. Clean
out the house, dust with fresh air
slaked lime, fork up the yard and
spread over it thick coat of fresh
air-slacked lime. Add few drops OF
bromide of potassium to the drinking
water. Give no. other water. This is
the best method to use.

Best Poultry Tonnes.

Fresh air, sunshine and exercise are
the best poultry tonics. But fresh air
does not mean drafts in the houses,
nor does sunshine call for exposure to
hot suns during the summer. The
houses should be SO constructed that
fresh air can constantly be present to
drive out bad odors, and purify the at
mosphere.
The sunshine should be able to
reach every corner to destroy any
germs that might be lurking in damp
ness. The fowls should exercise by
scratching that good circulation of
the blood may be stimulated The
above are the three best medicines IN
the poultry doctors are.
