If tho knockers could bavo their way,
and Major Kinney aud the Great Cen

that any resident of C003 Bay would be
out a cent, while all bare received more
or less benefit from tho something ovor
105,000 which has already been ex
pended. Guy II. Miller, In Dairy and Produce
Review, makes tho statement that tho
Jersey cow Coll Drops Maud, dropped
May 2d, 1603, has produced during tho
year cndlugAug.31,lSD9,7,2CCV4 pounds
of milk, or 50-1.02 pounds of butter;
during the year ending Aug. 31, 1000,
Z,1C0;1 pounds of mil!:, or C02.S3 pounds
of butter; during year ending Aug.
31, 1001, 7,831 pounds of milk, or
C21.ll ponnds of t butter, nud during
the year ending Aug. 31, 1002, 7,435
poui.ds of mill;, or 500.80 pounds of
butter, r.n average for four years of
7,:;00 pounds of milk nud 503.02 pounds
pjt butter. The butter yield has been cal
qulated for this statement by adding
10 2-3 per cent to tho butter fat as
shown by tbo Uabcocl: test as taken
(wlco.a month, which Is not unfair,
though wo would not Hire to allow
quite as much orcrrun na that, for wo
tjlnl; 15 per cent overrun Js 'enough to
make n butter with full nmouut of
butter fat. But sbo made a churn tpst
of 10 pounds, 0'yt ounces per week as

tnlnly, If not the best cow west of tlmt
Itoelcy mountains, sho Is a nood one. As !
her weight Is nbout 000 pouniK It wl J
bo teen that her production of butter
fat was about half her own Weight
each year. As It costs but little more
to umbo a pound of butter fat than n
pouud of beef, liow would fattculuc

In a recent number of the Kansas
Farmer, which puis her productiveness
before the public In a new way. It
says:
The Kansas cow Is good for three

een months even If It doesn't rain an
other drop. Forage, roughnesi, hny and
all kinds of fodder nrc plentiful and
will be for home time, aud no matter

ROUP AND ITS TREATMENT
An Xn-itrnctlrr niicim-ilnn of the Sub
ject lr iiu Aailiorlty.
Roup or r.vlan diphtheria may attack
UI varieties of tho domesticated fowls,
also cago nnd wild birds, Bays Dr.
Charles F. Dawson, vctcrlnnrlan of tho
Florida agricultural station. Tho char
acteristic tomptom Is the nppearaiico
upon tho lining membranes of fio
mouth and nose of peculiar yellowish
patches which resemble those present
Jn tho threats of children suffering
from diphtheria. These patches are
adherent to the parts upon which they
rett arid when stripped off causo a
raw, bleeding surface. In a few days
they become yellow, much thickened,
and iuterfcro with the breathing and
rrehcnslon of food. In oome cases tho
eye Is affected. The eyelids becomo
glued together, nnd tho material col
lects upon- tho front, off tho eyeball,
causing great bulging nnd final de
struction of tho eye. A peculiar nnu;.c
atlng odor accompanies the disease,
duo to the decomposition of, the pent
up ficeretlcus. Emuclatlon Is rapid
from tbo absorption of poisons formed
by tho disease process and tvom tho
Inability to cat. In some outbr.eu):n tho
.disease attaeka the intestines, result
jfig in blcody discharges nud great
Io6, It Jasts from a few days to n fow
weeks, according to Its being ncuto or
chronic in character. Some claim that
roup is the same as diphtheria In man.
If they are tho same disease, why can.
,we not find tho germ of diphtheria in
rounv chickens, as ccrhtlujy ng wp.ciin.

with other affections, tho most common
ones being ordinary colds nud lufee

nhturo which hns lusted three or four

vellw nntr'ics inn Mu tnntni nvif
or bncfc"pUtt of rtitffnomti tins occurred
treat for roup. If tho fowl Is not worth
treatment, destroy. It nud burn the car
casn. Tho Indications for treatment nro
Iwlatlon of tho affected ones, u com
plcto renovation of tho henhouso by
'scraping tho floors, burning old nests, a
liberal coat of whitewash to nil wood
work and coating tho flooru with n lay
cr of lime. This Is to bo followed by
medicinal treatment of tho affected
ones. This should in part consist of
tho ubo of antiseptic waBhes for tho
nostrils, mouth and throat. Any of tho
following washes may bo used: A 2 per
cent solution of creolln applied to tho
parts with a brush; equnl parts of kero
sene nud olive oil or cottonseed oil;
boric acid, tif teen grains to tho ounce of
water. In applying any oue of tbeno
solutions first remove those portions of
the patches which can bo detached
without causing blood to flow. It Is
considered good practice to also dust
tho cleansed surfuccs with flowers of
sulphur.
Tho following wnsh is recommended
by Salmon: DIssolvo thirty-five grains
of cblornto of potassium and two
grains of salicylic acid In one ounce of
water and add ono ounce of glycerin.
Apply this liquid to the spots two or
three times a day, nud give a teaspoon
ful of tho mixture internally to each
fowl. Great relief is afforded the fowhi
by fumigation. Place the fowls In a
, tight building and pour oil of tnr on n
uui ufiwu. nvvu ui iron or a nuuvei. i'u
this twice dally.
The tumors which form on the head
should bo rpened with a sharp kulfc
and their contents washed out. Tho
bleeding which frequently occurs enn
bo checked by filling the cavity wlMi
raw cotton haturatcd with chloride of
Iron, .urn recommends Internally and
externally n mixture of 150 gram
of n decoction of walnut leaves (fifteen
grams to a quart of water) with twenty
grams of glycerin, live grams of chlo
rate of potassium nud one-half gram of
salicylic acid In fifteen grams of recti
(Jed spirit. Of this glvo oneo or twl.-
dally n tnnlcspoonful to I urge fowl.
He also paints the parts with tho solu
tion twice ti day.
in addition to using any of the above
treatments the birds should be given
soft food, nud In cnses whore they can
not eat the ftwd should be given ly
hand. They should nlso be given a
stimulating tonic, the following belnn
recommended: Cayenne pepper, sul-
phute of quinine, sulphate of Iron, of
each oue dr.im. Mix and add a little
honey or sirup as an exclplent nnd di
vide tho mr.ss Into sixty pills. Ghe
each fowl one pill three times n day.
Convalescent fowls should not bo re
turned to the healthy flock for at leant
a mouth after recovery.
