The Christchurch Hospital.

THE HOtfSE SUKGRON TO BE DISMISSED. A special meeting of the Christchurch Hospital Board was held yesterday to consider the report of the Committee appointed to foveatigate the allegations brought against the house surgeon by Dr L6m»x-Smith. The report, which was con sidered m committee, was adopted, and it; was decided to request the house surgeon to •end m his resignation by April 11, failing which the Chairman was empowered to give three months notice of the termination of his engagement. It waa resolved that the thanks of the Board be tendered to Dr Lomax* Smith for services rendered by him to the Board m connection with the recent enquiry, and for the manner m which he had discharged an unpleasant duty. He was rf quested to withdraw his resignation a» a member of the honorary staff. The findings of the Committee were— -(1) That the house surgeon had failed to observe the bye-laws ; (2) that he had not fulfilled his duty towards the honorary staff; (3) that he had been guilty of neglect m the treatment of very serious and critic U cases; (4) that he had failed to show that interest and attention to patients that the Board had a right to •xpect. The Committee wished to give Dr Murray-Aynsley full credit for the efficient work he had done m training and organising the nursing staff.

FARMERS' COLUMN.

POULTRY FARMING. {Prom " Poultry and Bgga for Market and Export " by J. A. Henderson ) FATTENING. Crosses with game require scarcely any, if well fed from the shell. Pat those to be fattened m a small yard, so that they have less funning about than nsnal. Fast for a few hoars, and then feed thrice a day on soft food. Put m only birdß of the same' age and breed together. There will be greater success with a small number. The time will vary from seven to fourteen days, or thereabouts. After a certain point is reaohed they begin to go back, so watoh Ihera closelyi Pollard, mixed with oatmeal, barleymeal or maizemeal, to which after a day or two a little chopped fat is added, fattens well. Change their food when they seem to go off it. Give no grain unless well boiled. Full or skim milk instead of water helps to fatten. Give grit and f reah water. COOP FATTHNING. Pick six birds reared together and put m a coop m a sheltered place. The coop must be roomy, and barred ia front and under neath. It is important that the bars m front should be two mohes apart-, upright, and - those underneath one inch apart, lengthways. The trough for the food should be fixed across outside the bars, and above the level of tha floor. Mix the food up very soft. Fast twelve hours when first put m the coop Then feed twice or thrice a day, giving a little at a time, when they have cleared that up giving more.. Leave none m the troughs waen they are .done. DISEASES OF POULTRY. The space at my command forbids my going into this subject deeply. It may pay the fancier (whose fowls are of greater value to him) to dootor flick oneß, but it will not pay the farmer. To study how to prevent disease m the flock, however, will pay everyone. I have already spoken of this, and shall here describe one or two of the common, easily treated diseases, etc., giving a few simple cheap remedies. The causes o! most diseases are inherited tendencies — nnder-feeding, over-feeding, want of exercise, want of grit, dirt, bad water, damp, draughts, or change to colder quarters, etc.* When a bird appears sick take it at once from the flock, for most of their complaints are very infections. Plswe it m a clean lime-washed coop m a sheltered plaoo. Co d —A running at eyes and nostrils, and an occasional eneez.r Caused by chill. Keep warm, and feed on warm so;t food, with a little meat and pepper added. Wash and dry the head, then wash again with a weak solution "of permanganate of potash (very cheap stuff; or Condy's fluid, and pour a little down its throat. Do this daily. IS' eg] eo ted cold may turn to roap. Roup — If the discharge from eyes and nostrils become thick and offensive, the bird at the same time becoming weak, ifc is a c*se of roup. It may be treated as for a cold, the parts washed with a wash of ten drops carbolic acid wilh a gill of warm water, and the bird given a little sulphate of iron as well ; but it is generally not worth while to try to cure it, if many be kept, for this disease is highly contagious. Other symp tom i of roup. are & welled eyes, canker m the comb or face, a membrane forming m the throat (diphtheria). The diphtheric roup and canker m the comb may be trtidted with flour of fulphur applied to the parts. Jjiarrbcci. .—Change thq food. Give ittle watot. Put flour, ground cinnamon, or ch*)k m the food. Give dry rice. Boil a few cloves (two for each bird), and mix their food with the liquor. Jf getting weak, give sulphate of iron as well. Advanced stages of this disease are infectious, and I should advise that birds be killed and buried if seen getting very bad. Liver Disease.— Kills more birds than any other. Generally inherited. Feeding on maize, confinement, and overfeeding, with wont of grit, will cause it. It is. worst m hob weather. The droppings are' soft and yellow, the appetite Is poor, and soft food is refused, but the crop is always full. The birds look dull, and often walks lame. It is not worth while doctoiing any but very mild cases. The best remedy is dandelion, given regularly, chopped np very fine, and pnt m the food. Never breed from birds that have shown a tendenoy to this disease. Indigestion or giddiness. — Give a dose of Epsom salts, one-fifth the amount given to a grown person, and feed moderately. Leg- weakness.— Seen m growing cockerels. Give crushed bone or bonedast and sulphate of iron. Gapes. — Seen m chickens, A worm m the windpipe ; probably caused by drinking foul water. Strip a feather to near the point. Put the feather point down the windpipe, twisting sharply round and drawing out with worms sticking to it. Smoking with carbolic acid is an effectual but dangerous cure, A teuspoonfol of spirits of tnrpentine to a pint of meal m the soft food is also a good remedy. Poft Egs»a.— Caused by want of lime or over-stimulating food. Supply lime, or give simpler food, as the case may be:

The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention is Better Than Cure THE few cases of Typhoid m Ashburton Borough and Suburbs afford no : ground for a " scare," but it is only by usiDg reasonable precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century " of list year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all tbe children m come villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one- sixth to one-fourth part of ail children dying m the age of from one to five jears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by speoial bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon whioh dairy and kitchen slops have been . thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to tbe garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to varions kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- Btructed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession of one becomes an absolute moans of sweetness, comfort and profit. Improved Copper Boilers. J have just received direct from the manufacture! s a fresh supply of Portable Copper Boilers, with patent smoke stack joint, and Semi-double sheeted frame — galvanised.
