POULTRY DEPARTMENT.

C. W. Clifton, Editor.

MU POULT BY EXHIBIT.

However much the victim may writhe, unrelentleosly the surgeon applies the knife •fid toastie U the gangrened wound. The physician’s prescription ie not .milk and honey, though efUimeo his pills are sugarcoated. None the leas do we respect the surgeon for hie unswerving disehsrge of doty. We do aot blame the M. D. for the bitterness of Ms medicines. The disease is the enemy, and the Doctor who most successfully combats that enemy is held in highest repute. In treating of the exhibit of poultry at' oar late fkir I want thoee interested upon me, not as the knife, the caustic or the medicine, but as upon the healer. Though I may poeait.ly offend, yet I shall surely strive to be just, and, .if 1 can, coat the pill with sugar. Is the first place the show was disproportionately small to its interest or importance, there being but fifteen coops of poultry and eighteen pairs. This small exhibit was owing to t%e small premiums offered, the want of definiteness regarding the competing for, and awarding seoond premiums, many believing that if they entered their fowls for first it Would debar them from contending for second, or, if they were, awarded second the 6 per cent, would not be returned, thus compelling them to pay 20 per cent, of the second premium. That, however, had but little weight with professional breeders. What kept them from exhibiting was the assurance, or rather the want of assurance, that their fowls would be scored by a profeaeienal poultrymau, one that knew a Black Spanish from a black Leghorn. The writer bad eighteen coops to exhibit, and knew of twelve others to be exhibited. He was informed by letter of nearly forty other coops that would be there. In every instance, as soon as the premium list was received and. examined, the fowls were turned out of their preparation coope. Nor was there any floUusion or previous understanding on the part of these breeders, as has been charged in out presence. There is no honor to be gained when fowls are not’ intelligently judged. The judges were intelligent aud honest. This I know. But this again I also know; they do not know a 0. 8. or S. 8 Bantam from a Mongrel Hamburg; they do not know a pea comb from a rose comb, or pencilings from spangles: nor did more than two of them know what a vulture was, or what would disqualify any standard bird from the show toom. This we feared when we refused to eshibit, and the result proved our surmises to be correct. We do not charge all this up to the account of the management no more than we blame a man for getting sick. Yet nearly always the man is to blame. The first chill (i. e. fair) is over; who will prescribe in time for the aeaondY |

Of the chickens present but few were pure; six thoroughbred end only three high clua thoroughbred'. There were in one Coop a pair of birds, recognized by that were turned out on the street by the writer. They were mongrels, and poor ones at that. They were entered as pure fowls and given a premium as such by the judges. Brahmas that should have bad pea combs were there with Cochin combe. Brahmas that plainly showed the Shanghai ar.d col ored Dorking croes. A coop of fowls that were a cross of Buff and Partridge Cochins. Black or tnealy winged Buff Cochins. Brown Legburns with lopped combs and spotted car lobes. In fact bat five chicks in the collection would have stood scoring. The pair of geese exhibited were good. * The Pekin ducks were high class, and the Bronze turkeys good. vAs one of the judges remarked afterward, “Our work was easy; only a pair of each class; and. they did not deserve it, we gave them the premium. 1 ' We hope that all who ' attended our fair, will, for purposes of comparison, remember the display of this season.

POULTRY DISEASES.

Cholera. —lt is not our intention in the limited space of this column to give full treatises on ait the diseases of poultry. We giro only the best remedies for the most common and fatal diseases. The most dreaded scourge of the Western and Southern poultry breeder is the cholera. SYMPTOMS. Sudden and violent thirst, diarrhoea, greenish droppings, afterwards thin and whitish, or. closely resembling sulphur in color, extreme weakness and staggering, or billing about, sometimes accompanied with cramps, and often with a pale, anxious look about the face; combe, wattles and ear lobes become pale or blueish in color. In true cholera death results in from twelve to thirty-six hours. f R SMITHES. Whatever remedies are used gr>od sanitarv care is necessary Roosts, bouses and nests should be whitewashed often in summer with hot lime and a little carbolic acid added The floors of the coops and the yard ~must.be kept clean and dry; sprinkle them frequently with slacked lime; give pure, cle*n,'freeh water twice a day, and allow no stagnant water to stand on the premises; supply plentifully with broken bones or sheila, and cbarcorl; feed moderately in warm• weather, and but twice a day. Soft feed is beet in the morning and whole grain at night. Give a variety of grain and plenty of green food. A splendid thing to use, both as cure and preventive, is grain soaked In carbon or coal oil and fed two or three times a week. To check the diarrhoea give a table spoonful of Venitian Red in one gallon soft feed. Two or three feeds will stop it. Use the Douglas mixture,.given last week, as a tonic. Always salt, slightly, •oft food, and throw in a spoonful of pepper once a week. To purify and disinfect the house, turn out all the fowls, shut up tight, burn half a pound of salphur in the house, keep close till evening, then ventilate, sprinkle a little carbolic scid, and admit the fowls. Repeat daily and no cholera, roup, caaker, or other epidemics or contagions can last long. It ia always best to cars for fowls that disease may be prevented. Always place aick birds by themselves, remote from the others. After a short time if they •asm incurable thfe “hatchet’’ is the chtap«st remedy. Of course, fowls must be kept free from vermin, not over crowded, dry, A»d well ventilated. Poultry shows to occur Wabash Valley Poultry Association, LaFayette, Ind. B. T.

——Prof. Kellogg, of New York,, began a series of lectures in this place, Wednesday evening last, on the subject of Phrenology. He handles his subject very scientifically, and gives practical demonstrations of mesmeric influences, or the power of one mind over another. Altogether his lectures are quite interesting and attract very good audiences. * —An exchange says some business men never spend a cent for advertising, either in the newspapers or any other way. In the stores of such men are generally seen old barrel heads, on which are inscribed in chalk or charcoal such devices as these: “Flower. Korn Meel, Pertatoes, Poork, Cheze, Kaliker. Kountry produce bawt and eould; goods cheap for cosh, Tee, Shugar, etc.’’-*— [Waynetown Bauner. —While our exchanges are boasting of their mammoth vegetables it may be well for them to record the fact that White county has a radish measuring five feet in length and three feet in girib, one head of oats five feet in length, corn weighing 150 pounds to the bushel, and stranger still, a ttirnipseed weighing over 100 pounds.— They all belong to the animal kingdom, however, and begin their names with capital letters.—[Monticello Herald. —Talk about hard times!

—Rev. J. M. White is billed for an illustrated lecture at the court house, to-night, which promises to be a rare treat for the citizens of Rensselaer and vicinity, especially the temperance portion. ‘‘The downward course of the drunkard” will be exhibited in twelve stereoDtio views, the primary cause of, and the only cure for drunkenness will be given. Let the friends of temperance and everybody else turn out and see the evils of intemperance vividly portrayed. - Ad.uission only ten cents. —That mysterious mark on the countenance of many, causing a look of melancholy and dejection of spirits, that slow and feeble step, and downcast look, that general debility and loss of appetite, can all be cured with the use of Liebig’s Fever and Ague Cure. We could furnish you with the testimony of hundreds of druggists and thousands of individuals, who know of the wonderful effects of this medicine; cures seemingly miraculous. Try it and know for thyself. Sold by W. J. Imes, druggist. —Rev. John A. Leach, Past Grand Prelate of the Grand Lodge of Masons for Indiana, died at his residence at New Carlisle, Laporte county, Indiana, on Friday last, and was buried with Grand Masonic honors on Saturday. He was a traveling minister in the North Indiana conference, M. E. Church, ft>r thirty years. For some time past he has had a Masonic supply stock at the Masonic Temple in this city—[lndianapolis Journal, 16th inst. Mr. Leach was atone time pastor of the M. E. Church at this place.

—The writer had occasion to visit Remington on Monday. He found business men wearing cheerful countenances on account of the increased activity in all branches of trade. Republicans were exceedingly jubilant over the result of the recent elections and are eonfident that Indiana will wheel into line and take her place among the republican states in 1880. Democrats were remarkably scarce, but what few could be seen wore a look of sad despair. The grain business was lively, the recent advanoe in prices having had a tendency to induce the sellers to throw their grain upon the market. Some, however, preferred to hold on for better prices. —The silliest plea made by some business men who do not patronize the columns of a newspaper, ie that they are “too well known to need advertising." If the same people were in this county now that inhabited it twenty years ago; if none died or none were born, and if new settlers were not constantly pouring into our oounty, and if there was no competition in business, then there would be a shadow of sense in such a position. But where there are constant changes in population, and lively competition in trade, no man is ever “too well known” to advertise. He may flatter himself with the thought that he is, but in course of time he will ascertain that his younger but enterprising advertising neighbor is a good deal more favorably known than himself. There is progress in everything, and the man who expects to do a lively business must let the people know that he has something to sell them. The people expect it and patronise the man who is anxious for their custom, and who thinks enough of it te politely ask for it through the newspaper.—[Goodland Herald.

H. Pierce, Remington; Col. J. Healey, Goodiand; Robt. Gregory, Mvntioello; Judge Ward, Lafkyotto; Hon. Chas. H.

The teachers are using ail the tact and energy they possess to make their schools interesting and efficient.— While the schools are doing as much or more thorough work, and while there is m much interest and as strong Ja desire to learn on the part of the pupils as was ever manifested before, yet there is a lukewarmness somewhere as is shown by the monthly enrollment. There are from 50 to 76 children of school age in town who are not in school, but should be there. Whose fault is it that they are not there? Parents, if it be yours, let the duty you owe your children in the matter of education and the desire to do the best for them within your power impel you to take a more aotive interest in their education.
