That in ill‘kept sheep it quickly assumes a. virulent form there is no doubt, since on fat sheep, or those in the full flush of growth it is evident, as in other farm animals, the parasities cannot get control of the body of the sheep. Scab is known by the generally ragged appearance of the sheep, and by bare patches of the skin :by their rubbing the irritated parts, and if closely examined, by And Ata the a}: the an horse, presenc sects, k mimals They cam How tht Of the The old country road!

Various modes of treatment are recommended for more advanced stages of the disease, al- ways keeping the fowl from well ones and keeping dry and warm. One author- ity recommends immersing the head in warm salt water long enough at a time that some of it may be drawn up into the nostrils. Other tried remedies are the use of camphorated oil injected into the nostrils ; giving doses of cod liver oil can- fining the hens in the house and burning equal parts of pine tar and spirits of turpen~ tine ; take strong alum water and mix with one third its quantity of strong vinegar and wash the head well twice a. 'day, making sure that it is forced through the nostrils. Powdered Charcoal added to the food is always beneficial in this disease,also adding mustard or pulverized ginger or cayenne pepper. Bathe the head with warm water- Sometimes an operation is necessary to re' move the hard lump of the secretion which forms in the eyes or nostrils, but the ordin- ary poultry keeper will probably not care to try this. These and many other remedies are offered, but the best plan is to keep the flock free from the disease. This, can easily be done with a little care. Prepare a. house which will be free from drafts, however roughly it may be put together. Do not leave the chickens to rest anywhere and every- where, eat whatever they can get and take care of themselves generally. If one is dis- covered showing signs of roupe remove at once and keep it away from the rest until thoroughly cured and in ahealthy condition 0.23111 Oh. the to; Roup in Poultry- The first symptoms of this disease are not unlike those of a seveie cold: sneezing, hosrseness, eyes watery and discharge from the nose of a watery nature. In later stages this discharge becomes thick and yellowish and dries around thenos- trils. It is very odensive. This is one of the sure signs of the disease. As it ad- vances the eyes and whole head become swollen. It is really a disease of the lin- ing membrane of the nose, which becomes inflamed and swollen and secretes the watery discharge. There is also great difficulty in breathing. One of the best means of detecting the approach of roup is to raise the wing of the suspected fowl in the morning and see if the feathers are smeared with the discharge which has rub- bed off when the head was put under the wing at night. Also look at the nostrils and see if they are clogged. In very serious cases death ensues in three to eight (laysafter the first symptoms occur. The causes of this disease are numerous, chief of these being acoldwhichis often taken by drafts ofair blowing over fowls while at roost. But anything which lowers the tone of the system, bad food, lice, bad ventilation filthy houses, etc., will bring it on. Roup is most common in Autumn and \Vinter when fowls are exposed often to cold drafts and damp, sunless quarters. It is .Very contagious and transmitted either when & diseased fowl touches another or when a, well one gets the discharge by drinking from the same vessel. It is also said that if the discharge is brought in contact With the human eye or a. wound or scratch on the hand, it will cause serious inflammation; therefore, csre must be taken in handling sick fowls. \Vhen a decided case of roup appears, unless the bird is very valuable, kill it. The first stages however, if attended to at once may be easily cured.

Arsenic and mercury are often employed very effectually, but they are poisonous, and therefore injurious to the sheep. These and other solutions are used both as Washes and dips.

Raw places appear at points which the animal can reach with his teeth and hind feet.

While I was looking at the weapon, with a vague,harassing sense that there was something I ought to do with it, the tiger picked me up and made off with me into the jungle :and still I clung to the rifle, though I had forgotten what use 1 should put it to. The grip of the tiger’s teeth upon my shoulder I felt but numbly ; and yet, as I found afterward, it was so far from gentle as to have shattered the bone. Having carried me perhaps half a mile, the brute dropped me, and raising he: head, uttered a peculiar soft cry. Two cubs ap- peared at once in answer to the summons, and bounded up to meet her. At the first glimpse of me, however, they sheered off in alarm, and their dam had to coax them for someminutcs, rolling me over softly with her p'iw, or picking me up and laying me down in front of them, before she could convince them that I was harmless. At last the youngsters suffered themselves to be persuaded. They threw themselves upon me with eager though not very dangerous ferocity. and began to maul and worry me. Their claws and teeth seemed to awaken me for the first time to a sense of pain. I threw off the snarling, little animals roughly, and started to crawl away. In vain the cubs tried to hold me. The mother lay watching the game with satisfaction. In- stinctively I crept toward a. tree, and little by little the desire for escape began to stir in my dazed brain. “'hen I was within a foot or two of the tree the tiger made a great bound, could sh and Lher and carried me had started. ‘ )&llS ‘ this is with a cloud seemed to 1 of mine, my boy, less and sickenin when re upon mi from m: it despe what; I wafit ness of my g warn the tig much life in me roughly. feet-of the Least’s stripe-d stopped and fell over on my but exhausted.

Our sealers are aunit in the belief that the award is against them, and it is consequently diffi- cult for them to believe in the sincerity of the Americans when they declare that they are the losers in connection With the decis- ion. The Montreal Witness does not think there is any deception about the American dissatisfaction. Not that the case is any better for Canadians than it at first appeared to be, but simply that the case being bad for Canadians does not by any means prove it altogether good for Americans. \Vhat the Americans wanted was that they should be placed in a position to defend seals against all pelagic hunting. They did not care whether they got this as owners of Behring Sea, as owners of the seal herd, or as protectors of the seal herd for the good of the world. They claimed the right of monopolizing seal killing. whether by land or sea, in the western half oi Behring Sea and the Pacific Ocean on each and all of these grounds. The arbitration has told the United States that they have no such rights, and have no ground what- ever to exercise any protection over seals beyond their own territorial Waters of three miles from coast. They are by this decision, to which they have agreed to sub- mit, declared to have no poWer to interfere with the sealers of other nations. That is the law as laid down by the Arbitration, and they have to bow to it. It is only common sense, anyway. The consequence of this decision is that scaling vessels may be sent out at any season of the year by any foreign nation and may year by any foreign nation and may kill seals anywhere on the high seas three miles distant from the breeding isl- ands, by any method whatever, and the- United States cannot raise a. finger to inter- fere with them except by diplomacy with nations whose flags they fly. That is the law as laid down by the Arbitration and as accepted by the United States. The position of the United States is as bad as it can be except that Great Britain is excluded from the list of foreign nations which are at lib erty to kill seals anywhere, anyhow, and at any time.

On this account alone re- ceivers on the other side should have some consideration for exporters on this side, and should hesitate a. good deal before lead- ing them into ruinous competition similar to that of 1892, which financially rattled quite a number of operators. Of course it may be argued from the standpoint of Eng- lish commission houses that their object is to solicit all the consignments they can, and that in any event they are on the right side, as they are sure of their commissions, etc., let the market go up or down, and that if one set of shippers drop out another will drop in; as the crop has to be handled any- way. Nevertheless, considering the un- merciful peppering which United States and Canadian shippers received last season, English houses should be very careful be- fore agoin encouraging buyers on this sids to duplicate last year's disastrous colnpetl ‘ tion, which flung everything into the lap c growers, and left nothing for the men upo Never has there been a. season so favor-' able to the export of hay as the present one.
