MANY CHICKENS DYING.
Cholera Is Carrying OFF the Poultry
Around Council Grove.

Reports are coming in that chickens
are dying with cholera, some having
lost more than a hundred chickens in
the last. few days.
When a chicken has the cholera
there is probably no cure, but most
any cholera remedy handled by all
druggists will prevent other chickens
from taking the disease. Instead of
feeding corn more ground food should
be used, and a change from the old
chicken coops and yards should be
made.-Council Grove Appeal.
