, From the Farmer's 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 farmer's 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 Poultry-yard is a most proper department for a female writer on husbandry ; and it is but too true, that, like the farmer's 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. rr'.cy? 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. T'other 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.

Among the different kinds of domestic animals there is one, to the diseases of ■which little attention is gi\on ; 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 h^ad, 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 soe^ht after the cause of this disorder, and it was easy to find that it was occr^iined 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.
