We have & communication this week from Mrs. (X R. Hlnton, of Pelham, asking what is the trouble with her fowls. She write: "They are taken very suddenly with something like rheuinattem &nd get so they can hardly walk. ' I (don't notice any change In their Iooks.- or any other way; their cemtoa are as red as blood all the time, ' even after they died. I lout a hen effected that way last week and an other fine one was taken sick yester day and died last night. I am afraid I will lose all unless I find out the trouble and what to do. So please let s we know In the next Issue of The Serril-Weekly Observer and I will be so much obliged. My hcns are very fat." Jt would be very hard to determine what IS the trouble with the fowls of Mrs., Hlnton, as the Information she gives is so meagre. She does not say what she feeds or how often; whether her fowls are confined In yards, or have free rang, but the last sentence of her letter gives a clue to the trouble. She vaaya: "My hens are very fat." We ' have no way to judge how or what she fed, but going on the supposition that she has been feeding very liberally, will diagnose the trouble as apoplexy. When a bird In apparent good health falls from Its roost and seems unable to move, or in walking falls over, It Is very probably suffering from apoplexy, especially If It has had liberal feeding. If the comb were of a purple tinge, then It would Indicate Indigestion or liver trouble, but our correspondent States, "The comb is very red." Over fat, hens are first-class subjects for this disease, arid It is caused by either a weak condition of the blood vessels of the brain or a great pressure on them, which may be brought on by. a too hearty meal or violent exercise caused by fright or running. Strain ing In laying an egg often ruptures a blood vessel in the brain when the hen It too fat. As a rule, very lit te can be done when a fowl Is very far gone. If seen when It first begins to stagger, catch and bleed It by rutting one of the large veins under the wing. He careful not to allow too much blood to escape, also let o small quantity of cold water be poured over the head lowly. The very bent thing to do as a preventative it (If tne fowls are yard ad) to reduce the grnln feed to once a day, and not too much then, and make them scratch for every grain of It by throwing It In hay. straw, or litter of any kind. Feed liberally of green food, such as grass, clover, cabbage or any thing of the vegetable kind. Provide plenty of cool, clean drinking water and keep -It In the shade. It would be well to weigh a few of your fattest htne when you start this treatrment, and then again In about ten days to note how much you are reducing them In flesh. Thcro is very little to fear from getting a hen too thin In summer, the trouble Is generally in the Opposite direction. If your fowls have free range, cut off their feed entirely for a while and let them hustle for all they get. If they find you don't feed them they won't hang around the kitchen door waiting for It. but when hunger asserts itself they will hunt for something tn appease the crtiwlng. We would suggest, If any other read ers of these articles are hnving trou ble with their poultry. If they write to us perhaps we can assist them, but do not forget to give full particulars. Stste If the fowls are yarded or not. The number of fowls, how much and how often you feed and what, variety; In fact, go Into details. Remember we cannot see the fowls and must Judge of the trouble by what you write us. The tendency of nil fowls In summer is to get over-fat. as it does not re quire so much footl to keep up animal heat, so reduce your feed accordingly, you will not only s.ivo It, but lots of trouble besides. fCeep the poultry supplied with plen ty of clean, cool water these hot days and In the shade. It doesn't cost any thing, only a little trouble, nnd the birds will be the better for It. Don't feed so much grain, but more green food, and give a variety. Any one kind of food Is not good for poultiy any more than for the human family. Jf you have not already done so. don't forget to plant plenty of sun-flower seed, as they are very beneficial to the fowls during the moulting season on account of the oil they contain. ' In raising poultry, as In other work, It does not pay to go at It "by fits and Starts" to expend a great amount of labor on your stock one week snd en tirely neglect them the next. Some of the details of the work In connection s with It requires attention three hun dred and sixty-five days In the yesr. l and the successful poultry-raiser is the one who does the things that need do ing when they need doing, and not i putting off doing until some more con vents t time, which very often never comes. As the Dutchman says. "No 'time so so goot ash now." CHICAGO STRIKK TO KPIIFAD. team Owners Will Ignore Boycotts, and Unions Mill Call Strikes i Wherever Teamsters Are Discharged for Refusal to Make Deliveries. Chicago, May 13. The strike of (he teamsters is expected to spread rapidly twins; the next week. At a meeting Id to-night between the teamsters' joint council, which Is the governing body of the local unions, of the team ktsra. and representatives of the Team Owners' Association, the latter in formed the representatives of the team tars that the condition of their busi ness made It necessary for them to make deliveries to homes which had (been boycotted by the unions, and that they would do so next week, heedless of the fact whether or not a strike exist ted at such place. The council was urged to sgree to this trocdur. and vert a general strike. After so ex- , tended debate among Its members, the I teamsters' council decided thst It would tiot agree to the delivery of goods to ny !of the boycotted hruses by union i teamsters, and that strikes would h ! called whenever a man was discharged for refusing to deliver goods.
