PREVENTION OF ROUP.
Oermi of the Diaeass Do 2Tot Devslop
Without Assistance of Tilth
and Dampness.
Roup Is a disease that is not feared by
those that have never had it in their
flocks. .A person will sometimes raise
poultry for many years and never have
a case. It is our belief that it is possible
to keep the disease out of the flock alto
gether by using due precautions. Bad
weather conditions seem frequently to
be the cause of the disease, but it is cer
tainly due to a germ, and however bad
the weather ttie disease eeuld not oot&e
without tfce germs beiag present. Bu
even if the germs are present they may
not find a chance to develop without the
assistance of filth, dampness and drafty
roosting- places. The way to keep roup
out of a flock is to keep the henhouse
clean, supply it with an abundance of
light, have it so tight that the fowls willj
be exposed to no drafts, and tnen De
careful about introducing new bird?.
New fowls must be purchased now and
then, but such ones should be kept by
themselves and away from the rest of
the flock for a rrionth after purchase to
make sure that they are healthy. When
the disease is once introduced it is like
ly to prove a very stubborn visitor to
eject. Prevention is far easier than
cure.
Roup is frequently very destructive,
but at other times the disease seems to
be mild in form, carrylpg off no birds at
afll. This has led to the suspicion that
there are several diseases that we ig
norantly named roup. We are certain
that fhere are at least two, one being
common in winter and the other most
fatal In summer. The bacteriologists
are working on the diseases at the pres
ent time and may ultimately bring light
out of the darkness'. But with our pres
ent knowledge we must treat all of these
diseases as one and call them simply
roup. This word is an old one and means
"to cry out." It was probably given to
this disease because, birds affected with
it cry out. A synonym is the "pip."
When this disease gets into a flock the
losses from dead birds may be great;
but the incapacitation of the live birds
may be even greater. One man claimed
to us that he had a recipe that had cured
his flock of roup. It was quite an ex
tensive combination of drugs that were
made up into pellets. Each bird had to
be caught in turn and have the pellets
crammed down the throat. It took sev
eral months in the winter to cure the
flock, and this work had to be done just
at the time when the fowls should have
been laying eggs. "But," said the man,
"I cured them anyway, and without los
ing a single fowl, but I didn't get any
eggs till the middle of the next sum
mer.'.' It may well be doubted if the
cure was' worth the trouble. Doubtless
It would have paid better to have
chopped off the heads of the well fowls
as soon as It was apparent that the dis
ease was likely to take them.
Roup is Indicated by the birds having
swelled heads, watery eyes, nostrils
clogged with matter, by diarrhea, and
by a high fever. Sometimes all symp
toms except fever and diarrhea are
wanting. It is better to kill cheap birds
that are sick than to doctor them. But
If it , is desired to doctor them, their
heads and throats should be washed in
antiseptics and the well and sick birds
should be separated. Farmers' Review.
GOOD CHICKEN HOUSE.

We built a chicken house last spring
like this one and find it gives entire sat

sill to eaves. We have a window in each
aide and back end and door In front.
Now for the roosts. Take a 2x4 scant

windows, then take some boards and
make a trough about 14 feet long and let
2 feet project out at the back end of
building; put trough 2 feet above the
floor. Now take matched lumber or
some that, will fit up close and nail one
end to the trough and the other end to
the 2x4 scantling and make It full length
of trough, then take boards that will
reach from trough to the 2x4 and cut
notches In them for the roosts to lay in
and put upper end on hinges. When you
want to clean the house, rake the drop
pings down into the trough and then
r&ke them out the back end into a box
or something that can be hauled away.
The roosts will be high enough to walk
under and put nests along the wall un
der them. Fig. 1 is end of trough. Floor
la is inches off the ground. Fred S.
Denny, to Bpttomlst.
Vsed Bees la the Cells.
When bees lnhe cellar require feeo
tag, place a sake of candy over the
eluster, resting; on the frames. The
moisture from the cluster will soften
the candy sufficiently. It should be
made by kneading pulverised sugar
extracted honey into a stiff dough.
This method of feeding can be prac
ticed any time during winter. A cake
of granulated boner will answer the
purpose aa well. F. Ck Herman, la

"I find Thedford's Black-Draught
a good medietas for liver diiease.
It cored my eon after he bad apent
$100 with doctors. It is all the med
icine I take." MBS. CAROLINE!
MARTIN, Pukersbnrs, W. Va.
If your liver does not act reg
ularly go to your druggist and
secure a package of Thedford's
Black-Draught and take a dose
tonight. This great family
medicine frees the constipated
bowels, stirs up the torpid liver
and causes a healthy secretion
of bile.
Thedford's Black - Draught
will cleanse the bowels of im
purities and strengthen the kid
neys. A torpid liver invites
colds, biliousness, chills and
fever and all manner of sick
ness and contagion. Weak kid
neys result inBright's disease
which claims as many victims
as consumption. A '25-cent
package of Thedford's Black
Draught should always be kept
in the house.

Done By County Court. ,
The county court spent , the
greater part of Friday hearing
petitions for equalization- oi as
sessments, and in efforts to effect
this throughout the county.
Some persons had their assess
ments raised, others decreased,
but. such action was not taken
without carefully .considering all
the facts. ;
Assessments on mortgages were
reduced by $6,510 because they
had been satisfied, or were held
out of the county.
Assessments on notes were re
duced by $6,855 because of pay
ments made. A. R. and C. H.
Woodcock having sold their in
terest m certain property for ;
cash and a smaller 'sum than the :
valuation fixed by the assessor
had their assessment reduced to I
70 per cent of the selling price. !
W. B. Small had his land in!
Block 11, O T Corvallis, reduced
to $52.50 and J. C. Taylor his
to $ 60 per front foot. Thos.
Whitehorn's was raised to $55
per front foot
The tillable laud of Casper
Zierolf was raised from $20 to
$25 per acre, Mr. Zierolf appear
ing and assenting thereto.
N. Castle had been assessed
$1000 on money when it should
be $150 on money and $1350 on
notes.
The petition of C. & E. Rail
way Company for lower assess
ment was denied.
The official bond of W. A.
Buchanan as county treasurer for
$20,000, with the U. S. Fidelity
and Guaranty company of Balti
more as surety was filed and ap
proved and the treasurer's former
bond was canceled.

ccurt that he had posted 5 liquor
election notices in each election

vided bv law.
Republican Rally at Belifountain.
The Republicans held a mass
meeting Saturday evening in
Grange Hall, at Belifountain.
Precinct committee chairman, J.
H. Edwards, presided and fin-t
introduced Hon. E. H. Belknap,
who gave a ten-minute talk on
the political outlook. Wallace
McCamanty Esq., of Portland,
was then introduced and for an
hour rapidly and forcibly pre
sented the issues now before the
American people. He made a
forcible presentation of the things
done by republican policies, and
praised the conduct of the ad
ministration regarding the Phil
ippines, the Panama canal, the
enforcement of anti-trust legisla
tion and. the administration of
foreign affairs. . He characterized
Secretary of State Hav as being
one of the best in our whole his-
torv. and lustlv extolled the
wisdom, courage and honesty of
the President. Mr. McCamant's
address was received with close
attention, and his telling points
heartily applauded.
The audience embraced a
goodly number of ladies, and
filled the hall to its capacity.
A number of vocal selections
were rendered by a quartet and
altogether the meeting was high
ly successful.
Mr. McCamant was accom
panied horn here by E. R. Bry
son, and they returned Satur
day night. McCamant returned
to Portland on Sunday's train.
A Court House Freeze-Out.
A visit to the court house Sat
urday morning disclosed the dis
comfort and inconvenience the
county officers are laboring under
by reason of the cold, the furnace
repairs not yet being completed.
County clerk Moses clad in a
heavy overcoat was alternately
writing up the minutes in the
docket of the county court and
vigorously clapping his hands, as
if for self-applause. Sheriff
Burnett with great overcoat well
buttoned up was busy distribut
ing the ballot boxes for Tuesday's
election. He had concluded to
have the county court commit
the whole official corps to the
jail, as that is the only building
which can be heated.
Recorder Vincent probably
heard of the sheriff's scheme for
he at once installed an oil-stove
in his office and was trying to
imagine, that it was giving out
big slices of caloric.
Repairs will be completed
sometime Monday.
