Mr. Editor : Chicken Cholera has prevailed to a greater or less extent for several years in many of the Western and Southwestern States, and thousands upon thousands of valuable birds have been carried off by it. Having met with a remedy for this disease in my recent reading, I send it to you for publication, hoping that it may be of advantage to some of your readers. A gentleman of Iowa, writing to the "Department of Agriculture" of that State, says:

"My chickens have been dying of Cholera for the last two years, - even turkeys have died of the same disease. When I notice the hens begin to droop and look sleepy, I give them three or four tablespoonfuls of strong alum-water, and repeat the same the next day. I also mix their feed (say Indian meal) with strong alum-water, feeding twice a day for two or three days, - afterward once a week. Since commencing this practice I have not lost any".

Another gentleman, writing to the same " Department," says: "Take two eggs, one tablespoonful of finely pulverized alum, and a sufficient quantity of flour to make a thin paste, and force the chicken or turkey to swallow a portion of the mixture, and there are two chances to one that it will recover. I have used this remedy for two years with success. I have also used alum, once a day, in their food as a preventive, when this disease is prevalent. Fowls should never have access to swill tubs or any other kind of sour food. E.
