SUPERIOR REMEDY FOR R0UF First Thing Is to Remove All the Healthy Fowls and Treat Affected Ones Separately. Roup may be known from an offensive offens-ive discharge from the nostrils and swelling below the eyes. The swelling swell-ing in some cases entirely closes the eyes. This disease is known as roup, and is difficult to cure. Remove ail the healthy fowls. Put the affected ones in a warm, dry shed or roomy coop. Wash out the nostrils and mouth with warm water, using a small syringe to do so; then put a piece of camphor the size of a hickory nut into one quart of boiling water and hold the fowl's head over it for 10 minutes; repeat three time's a day. Also give one teaspoonful of cod liver oil at a dose twice a day. if the swelling closes the eyes, open them and syringe out tho yellow matter and wash with warm water into which a drop of carbolic acid has been thor- oughly stirred. Fowls that are badly diseased should be killed and buried. Clean out the house, dust with fresh air-slacked lime, fork up the yard and spread over it a thick coat of fresh air-slacked lime. Add a few drops of bromide of potassium to the drinking water. Give no other water. This is and best method to use.
