GRAIN. 
Wheat  prices  are  milch  lower,  selling  under 
$2  al  New  York  for  the  first  time  in  several 
weeks.  The  onuses  are  a  possible  embargo  and 
a  general  feeling  that  wheat  is  too  high.  Corn 
and  oats  declined,  though  the  break  was  pro¬ 
portionately  less.  Kye  is  rather  in  a  elass  by 
itself,  and  does  not  follow  other  grain  so  closely.

THE  HENYARD 
Nux  Vomica  for  Fowls 
I  have  occasionally  fed  my  poultry  nux 
vomica.  I  wish  to  food  the  dry  or  pow¬ 
dered  if  I  need  to  feed  any.  How  much 
would  be  safe  to  feed  per  100  hens  twice 
a  month  or  once  in  10  days?  Fowls’ 
droppings  are  often  yellow'  and  thin. 
Will  you  give  cause  and  remedy?  I  feed 
the  best  of  beef  scrap,  one  part,  mixed 
wheat  feed  four  parts,  hominy  two  parts, 
and  gluten  feed  one  part,  salt  and  char¬ 
coal  in  hopper.  Mixed  grain  night  and 
morning  in  litter.  c.  E.  w. 
New  York. 
There  is  nothing  to  be  gained  by  giv¬ 
ing  nux  vomica  to  well  fowls  or  by  ad¬ 
ministering  it  at  intervals  of  several 
days  to  sick  ones.  Doctoring  the  lower 
animals  “on  general  principles”  is  as  ir¬ 
rational  a  practice  as  is  drugging  human 
beings  for  indefinite  ills  with  indiscrim¬ 
inate  pills.  Nux  vomica  is  not  admin¬ 
istered  in  powdered  form,  the  solid  ex¬ 
tract  or  the  tincture  being  the  medicinal 
preparations.  I  do  not  know  how  much 
of  the  powdered  drug  could  he  safely 
given  to  hens.  Occasional  looseness  of 
the  bowels  in  poultry  indicates  nothing 
more  (linn  an  indiscretion  in  diet  or 
some  other  temporary  disturbance  of  the 
digestive  organs  to  which  any  animal  is 
subject.  An  overindulgence  in  meat  or 
some  green  vegetable,  or  partaking  of 
spoiled  food  of  some  kind  frequently 
causes  diarrhoea.  Persistent  diarrhoea  is 
also  a  symptom  of  some  chronic  diseases, 
like  tuberculosis  and  other  bacterial  dis¬ 
eases.  11.  B.  D. 
Colds  or  Roup 
We  have  just  purchased  a  flock  of  500 
Leghorn  pullets.  They  have  contracted 
<•(/»., s  due  to  shipping  and  we  have  iso¬ 
lated  ill  the  birds  that  show  any  symp¬ 
toms.  I  s  it  worth  while  to  keep  these 
birds,  a  recent  article  on  roup  said, 
"A  roup*  chick,  even  if  it  recovers,  is  an 
asset  11  loubtful  value.”?  Would  it  he 
worth  wade  or  advisable  to  use  a  spray 
for  such  fowls  and  what  would  be  a  good 
solution  for  filling  the  sprayer?  j.  b. 
New  York. 
Ordinarily  colds  should  be  distinguished 
from  true  roup.  The  latter  disease  is 
much  more  si  vere  and  lasting  in  its  ef¬ 
fects  and  us>  ly  ends  the  usefulness  of 
a  bird  afflicted  with  it.  The  cold,  damp 
weather  of  the  Fall  is  apt  to  bring  colds 
to  pullets  as  Well  as  to  huniuus.  The 
symptoms  and  coarse  of  the  disease  are 
about  the  same  in  both  animals.  The 
germs  of  true  roup  may  he  grafted  upon 
tissues  weakened  l«y  ci'ds  ami  one  dis¬ 
ease  merge  into  the  ,;.lmr;  all  colds 
should  not  be  tt  1  .nett  »•  .up,  however. 
These  affected  pullet*  sliuu. '  be  plueed  by

may  be  given  permanganate  of  potash  in 
their  drinking  water,  all  other  drink  be¬ 
ing  withheld  and  the  solution  being  made 
as  strong  as  they  will  drink,  a  teaspoon- 
ful  or  more  to  the  gallon.  Their  quar¬ 
ters  should  be  dry  and  free  from  drafts 
and  their  food  nutritious  and  plentiful. 
Healthy  pullets  will  recover  from  slight 
colds  within  a  few  days,  while  roup  is 
pretty  sure  to  go  on  from  bad  to  worse 
and  finally  kill  the  weaker  members  of 
the  flock.  It  is  a  difficult  disease  to  rid 
one’s  premises  of  and  should  be  avoid¬ 
ed  if  possible.  M.  b.  d.

among  my  chickens  last.  Spring.  The 
henhouses  were  thoroughly  cleaned  and 
sprayed  with  disinfectants  and  the  yards 
plowed  and  planted  to  oats  before  the 
pullets  were  put  in  this  mouth,  hut  some 
undoubted  cases  of  chicken-pox  have 
started  among  the  pullets.  Will  you  let 
me  know  if  there  are  not  some  preventive 
measures  I  can  take  to  prevent  it.  from 
spreading?  There  are  about  500  pullets 
in  the  flock  where  it  has  broken  out. 
What  do  you  consider  the  best  treatment 
for  the  affected  birds?  I.  f. 
New  York. 
I  know  of  no  drug  that  will  prevent 
the  spread  of  chicken-pox  or  of  any  pre¬ 
ventive  measures  of  value  other  than 
cleanliness  of  quarters,  disinfection  of 
utensils  and  isolation  of  sick  birds.  The 
disease  in  the  North  is  usually  not  very 
serious  if  the  eruption  is  confined  to  the 
head  of  the  affected  fowls.  It  may  he 
treated  by  the  application  of  sujphur 
ointment,  corrosive  sublimate  solution  (1 
to  1000)  or  by  painting  the  eruption  with 
t intitule  of  iodine.  This  latter  applica¬ 
tion  is  considered  a  specific  by  a  friend 
in  Alabama  who  looks  upon  chicken-pox 
in  his  flocks  as  a  matter  of  little  concern. 
Sulphur  lias  been  given  internally  as  a 
preventive  but  I  see  no  reason  for  think¬ 
ing  it  of  any  value  when  thus  used.  For 
some  reason,  sulphur  seems  to  have  a 
strong  hold  upon  popular  imagination  as 
a  remedy  for  various  diseases.  Possibly 
its  reputed  abundance  in  the  abode  of 
evil,  spirits  has  led  to  the  belief  that  it 
must  be  peculiarly  repugnant  to  the  de¬ 
mons  of  disease.  M.  b.  d.
