vf 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. he 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.
