sorry she could not do that, ns she
had given .tho piece to tlio cat.

This troublesome disease seems
to be unusually late in making its
appearance this year, but is now
quite prevalent.
It, is unquestionably a germ dis¬
ease s.iul spreads to other mem¬
bers ot tho llock whenever it
makes its appenranco. Isolation
and disinfection are therefore the
first suggestions. Many prepara¬
tions with germicidal properties
are used with more or less success.
Wheel-grease is good; a mixture
of lard and coal oil half and half
is a good application, Carbolic
salve is recommended by success¬
ful poulHymen. If you have tried
the usual remedies and failed of
satisfactoryfeagltt;, we can make
a suggestion (absolutely effective:
Bathe tho affected parts, using
soft cloth or a bit of sponge, with
the common surgical solution of
corrosive sublimate. One of
the sublimate to one thousand
parts of water. Any druggist can
supply tho solution ready for use.
Two applications will cure the
very worst cases. The material is
a deadly poison,' should not get
into the chickens’^mouths, and
should be kept/with the greatest
care, but it- is effective when all
