Excerpt from The Rural Carolinian, Vol. 7: January, 1876 The symptoms are, generally, first, a sort of sneezing and holding the mouth Open, different from the gapes. A swelling of the head and eyes follows, and the eyes remain closed much of the time, the fowl dumpy, and they fail to eat and soon die. Sometimes they have warts on the head. Sometimes the swelling around the head and eyes will be the only sign of illness. Either of the following recipes, if carefully followed, will, in its earliest stages, cure in about three days. As soon as one of these symptoms is seen, the chicken should be removed to a separate warm coop, kept dry. Etc., until it is quite well, as this is a contagious disease, and will soon spread through the whole yard, but by removal and attention for a few days, will invariably yield to its treatment. Take three quarts of slacked lime and put it in a full barrel of water after settling well, pour into the drinking trough, having in troughs before pouring each day a lump of asafoetida the size of an egg, which will gradually dissolve. A piece of asafoetida, rolled in lard, given for three nights in succession, is very good in ex treme cases. Charcoal and cayenne pepper, mixed with corn-meal dough, often cures early in the disease, aids digestion, and purifies them. Half a teaspoonful of best ground Jamaica ginger, with myrrh, the size of a pea, twice a day. For three days, is an excellent remedy. Wood ashes and charcoal, to dust themselves in, and air-slacked lime, and burnt bones, powdered up, are excellent preventives and assistants to cure Indeed, no poultry yard should be without these in abundance, and in good, dry condition, with good, pure water, no drippings from stables, or any impure liquids.

Excerpt from The Rural Carolinian, Vol. 2: An Illustrated Magazine, of Agriculture, Horticulture and the Arts Much has been said about the manufacture of sugar from sorghum, imphee, etc. It will be remembered that those plants are most impoverishing, whilst the bagasse (cane from which the juice is expressed) is utterly useless, being of no value for making manure or anything else. The leaves of the beet and the pulp, f1om which the juice has been extracted, are both eminently nutri tious, as is attested by the amount and quality of stock which they sustain and fatten. The pulp of the beet, after the sugar has been extracted, may be kept for years intact with little or no care or expense.
