No play in recent years has served for editorial comment and even judi cial references as has The World and a Woman George Bryon Totten's great play which comes to the Audi. torium Sunday, October 3. This fact constitutes great tribute towards the motif of the play and the masterly treatment of a great andwidely ap- pealing theme by the dramatist and the exceptionally intelligent interpre- tation by the players of the authors creations.

is the liberal use of dislnfectants

Plenty of sunshine In the poultry house
will help to keep it clean. Selling off
the old stock before it becomes feeble
and useless Is great help, since 1t is
these old birds that are the first to
succumb to unfavorable conditions.
One Of the most serious of these con-
taglous diseases is cholera. The com
mon symptoms are great thirst, list
lessness and yellowish or greenish
droppings. Heroic measures are need
ed to stamp out this disease. All sick
fowls should be killed and burned.
The yards and houses should he thor

at the rate of one gallon to twenty gal
Ions of water. The drinking water
should be disinfected by adding one
part of corrosive sublimate to every
1000 parts of water. There is no way
to cure the fowls after they once get
the disease. All that can be hoped for
is to save the well ones.
Probably the most common poultry
disease is roup. This is really germ
disease, but the germs cannot well
get foothold except under special
conditions. These are found when the
bird catches cold. The germs work
mostly in the nasal passages, causing
cheesy secretion that has very dis

Scholarship Contests.

Four or five years ago the novelty
of contest in stock and corn Judging
at tie State Fair was suggested for
boys and girls, the prizes to be
scholarships at the Agricultural col
lege. 1t was so successful and popu-
lar that similar contest for girls
in cooking was added. LOW each year
some forty or fifty young boys and
girls from the farms and cities of
Iowa gather at the Fair and show
what they can do in these accomplish
ments. An even larger number will
likely enter this year, since it Is
found that the prize winners of other
years have distinctly made good in
life. The scholarships so absolutely
free to the boys and girls, and there
is no better way of starting them off
for an education.
