REMEDY FOR LIVER TROUBLE Generally Caused by Indigestion Brought on by Irregular and Im- proper Feeding of Fowls. Generally speaking, liver troubles follow acute indigestion. This indi- gestion may be brought about by ir regular feeding or being fed on one kind of grain too long, dirt and sour feed, with a poor supply of grain. To withhold the feed a long time and then allow it in over amount is one of the most fruitful sources of diges- tive disorders. , Drinking water which has been contaminated with filth, or which has stood in a warm place or in the sun- shine until it has become putrid; ex- posure to draughts, cold rains, or damp roosting quarters, particularly during the molting season, are all con- ‘ucive to indigestion. If any one of these conditions sur- rounds your fowls, change them, put- ting them in light, dry houses and giving them wholesome, nutritious food. In very bad cases give daily five grains of rhubarb and every day one grain of calomel. Give them plenty of grit and charcoal. Char- coal is one of the best purifiers for the system of either fow!, animal or man . The liver is one of the most im- portant organs of the body, furnishing bile, one of the principal digestive fluids. It also assists in some of the most necessary chemical changes which occur in the blood. It is there- fore an easy matter for it to become deranged from the causes that pro- duce indigestion. Inflammation of the liver is quickly followed by death unless immediate relief can be given. The symptoms are a yellow appearance of the skin and yellow or slightly bloody evacua- tions. One of the chief indications of this disorder is lameness, especially of the right leg, and when this shows itself you may be pretty sure that inflamma- tion of the liver is going on. The treatment of birds so affected is not profitable unless they are very valu- able for breeding or exhibition pur- poses. The remedy is one-half to one grain of calomel to begin with, fol- lowed by 20 grains of Epsom salts and 2 grains of bicarbonate of soda after 12 hours. Napththol or benzo-napthol may be given twice a week to disin- fect the intestinal canal. When the sick bird is considerably improved, give green food, tonics of raw beef, and allow the bird free ex- ercise in the open air. The disease is not contagious, but the cause that ' produced it in one bird may affect the whole flock.

The ques- tion is raised in acute form by the evi- dence given by the prosecution of a Lancashire, England, firm for selling Russian eggs as Irish, which resulted in acquittal. The experts varied, as even experts will. One confidently pronounced the eggs in question Rus- | slans nearly five weeks old; another said they were second class Russians; a third specified the south of Russia. On the other hand, experts for the defense were equally positive that no- body could tell the birthplace of an egg from external examination. One witness said that when eggs were bad He seems to improve very slowly. - Mrs. Clark and daughters visited at Mrs. McClemis’ Sunday. Mr. Godwin and family spent Wednesday evening at Tan White’s.
