In one of our i xci.anges a writer givens the to.iowiiigsen.rdy: First, procure a ; n tv ni’ lb.' sniaiiest size rubber .üb„ about i > belies in length {thiscan be obUi; id nt nr.y thug store); attach oijc end to a small tunnel, grease the other with laid or vaseline for aboutfour inch, r, and are ready for business. (Set an as. Ut.ni t tosceurely hold the sick bird, new c.irdt.ily place tube in the bird’s mouth and push well down the crop, nbent four iixlies of ti}be will be iTfpj'red, ho.'d tlu* t. an el r-lighlly above the fowl's head and slowly pour in as much luke-warm water us the crop will holds about one trncupful. Have the assistant work the crop carefully during the puicess and until the hard mass becomes softened. Great care should be taken both in pouring water and working crop lest the fowl become choked by water rising in the throat. Next grasp the bi; d bv the legs and bob’, head down, gently working cro;) to ar sist bird to vomit. In most cases one trial is enough to completely empty the crop, but in ease.it is not, let the fowl rest for half an hour and repeat the process. This remedj' has also been used by me very successfully in eases of acute indigestion. Keep the bird on soft food with plenty of sharp grit and charcoal for a few days and the cure is complete.
