from the farmers magazine on the diseases of turkies they were by degrees put upon their jsual diet i need not add that clear water was given them instead of that of the standing pools ten of these animals had died before my arrival two perish ed during the treatment and the rest of the flock which might be about forty either escaped the disease or were cured mr editor i do not think you have been very at tentive to the feminine department of the economy of a farm ttor very kind to far mers wives you have been most in dustrious in pouring instruction of every kind upon the husband and surely all gratitude is due but why neglect his better half the farmers wife has many evils to combat much perplexity to en counter perhaps too not a little to earn but she is almost left to her na tive ignorance for all that you seem to care this is not right and can be re- nofe the poultryyard is a most proper department for a female writer on husbandry and it is but too true that like the farmers garden it is too often neglected this paper was therefore ve ry gratefully received and is inserted with pleasure it shall not be our fault for the future if instruction is withheld from this lady who has censured us with so much good nature or from others in similar situations but that this may be in our power we must request to be fa voured with such communications as the present and particularly with the re- sultof the intended experiment it would be inexcusable not to add that the young lady displays in her translation from midland district agricultural so ciety the committee of the midland dis trict agricultural society announce to the public their wifh to have a dtfr tri show at adolphuftown on monday the i8lh october and offer the following premiums to farmers 20 dollars for the first best bull raised in the pro vince and owned in the district wish her a numerous and healthy hock of turkies in the ensuing season con rrcy a medied we have a call upon you and the french author much more than a you should consider our little wants and smattering of learning we cordially numerous difficulties as 1 lind has been done elsewhere you know very well that the farmers trives now think of a little smattering of french and music and other hue things for our girls such fine things as would have confounded the gudewife of last century tother day my daughter was reading a french periodical paper and the called out to me with much joy that she had now found a cure for the trouble that had destroyed my turkies the ivhole flock being gone no experiment could be made of its success but as i have often suffered the same vexatious loss i am determined to try it another season my daughter has made a trans lation and if you think it of use it may be inserted for the benefit of your female friends z september 1812 c description of a kind of dropsy in the neau among the different kinds of domestic animals there is one to the diseases of which little attention is gion and yet it is one of the greatest delicacies of our tables i mean the birds of our poultry- rd few authors even to this day ave employed themselves in writing of their diseases they are however sub ject to the most cruel of them which de stroy in a short time the most healthy we have seen an example of this in a kind of dropsy of the crop which has at tacked the young turkies of picardy symptoms this kind of dropsy is announced by a dull look paleness of the had loss of appetite and aversion to food the birds allow themselves to fce approached and seized with facility and they are without strength very soon a slight swelling of the crop is add- ed to these symptoms which in ten days becomes very considerable i have ta ken nearly a pint of water from one by pressing upon the crops of some of them a certain quantity of matter is discharged by the bill but never enough entirely to ease the crop all these symptoms in crease and the bird dies at the end of fifteen or eighteen days illness these slight symptoms must have announced thedisease but fh- little attention paid to them by those vho are in the habit of taking care nf these animals renders it dot so easy to observe it appearances on dissection the in side of the crop contained a quantity of black liquid of a strong smell mixed with gravel the membrane viscous and having a tendency to gangrene the gizzard did not contain any thing but the small stones necessary to digest the food hut the intestines were intiamed and on them were to be seen the same spots as on the crop all the animals who were attacked were extremely lean causes i then soeht after the cause of this disorder and it was easy to find that it was occriined by the stagnant water of which tnese animals had drunk in the course of the year the heat had been great and there was little rain the heat had hatched a vast swarm of small red worms resembling ascarides it is quite certnin that these insects must have been sw allowed by the turkies and from this cause and the bad quality of the water which they had drunk a great de gree of inflammation in the crop would ensue with a stoppage of the passage which conducts to thegizzard the wa ter would thus be detained and decom posed in the first vacancies and would produce the consequences which we have just been examining the effect as might be expected would be gradual and imperceptible at first it is only by the frequent use of the water that they be come in a hifth degree painful treatment i divided the turkies in- to two classes foi those who were still sound i ordered grain and good water with all that were diseased i practised the operation of tapping with a lancet in the lower part of the crop i injected at the opening by means of a small syr inge a slight decoction oi quinquina je- 8uit bark mixed with a little biandy which was repeated twice in the course of the day next day the wound was better marked i made again the same injection and two hours after 1 forced them to eat a little of the y oik of an egs mixed with some crumbs of bread at the end of three days the wound in the crop was closed which 1 might have prevented but finding a natural open ing in the kill j made ihem take during eight days in tbeir drink the same sub stances which bad becu injected aud notice to pensioners ll pensioners whose residence is at or near the undermentioned stations are
