Almost all forms of chronic catarrh in fowls go 

 by the name of Roup. It usually begins as a severe 

 cold, caused by exposure to cold, wet and damp. 

 There is discharge from the nostrils, at first of thin 

 mucus, and which soon becomes opaque and even 

 offensive, and the entire cavity of the nose may be- 

 come filled up ; froth and mucus fill the inner angle 

 of the eye, the lids are swelled and often the eye 

 ball quite concealed, and in severe cases the entire 

 face is considerably swelled. It is said to be con- 

 tagious, but is probably only so in extremely viru- 

 lent cases. But *the fact that a flock of fowls are 

 exposed to similar disease making conditions, and 

 that many are taken nearly at the same time, would 

 countenance the idea of its contagious character. 

 The causes of the disease should be avoided by 

 providing shelter for chickens during the cold, chilly 

 fall nights, and not permitting them to wander around 

 without feed in the cold raw mornings. A plentiful 

 supply of nourishing food and comfortable shelter 

 when sudden cold changes of weather occur, will do 

 much to prevent the appearance of this disease, and 

 the consequent loss. The iron and cider with the 

 food will be useful, and. onions cut up fine and 

 mixed in the soft feed, is also an invaluable agent 

 for fowls affected with any form of Roup. The

 doses at first during the inflammatory stage. Then
