of this pestiferous disease. I hoped I might never form its 

 acquaintance in any way in my own experience, but this 

 was too much to hope for, and I have now learned what 

 roup really is, and have seen how, when it has once taken 

 hold of a victim, it will hang on like "grim death," and 

 require very strong measures to banish it. 



I give here the remedy I applied, and which I shall use 

 if I ever am visited with the roup again. I read it in the 

 Practical Farmer: Swab out the throat of the affected 

 fowl with powdered borax ; remove the scabs from the 

 mouth, and touch the parts with a strong solution of nitrate 

 of silver. The swabbing may be easily accomplished, by 

 dipping a feather in water, to make the powder adhere to 

 it, and using a feather or small brush, to apply the solution. 

 Some fanciers in this neighborhood report that in addition 

 to the usual symptoms of roup and canker in the mouth, 

 that their chickens have sores all over their heads, resem- 

 bling pock sores.
