Extracts From a Kick.
AS | perused The Citizen,
And the Kick Kontest therein.
A still small voice within me cried,
why don't you try to win?
Your Citizen subscription
Is almost all run out
Besides you know your pocketbook
Is ditto-just about"
And so with pad before me
l tried to rack my brain,
To find what there existed
OF which | might complain,
But not a kick" came to my mind,
That was fit for the public eye,
And l thought that dollar would
escape me,
Though did try and try.
But oh dear mel my kick won't do,
(Though to me it sounds quite
nifty,
For the number of the words in
kicks
Is limited to fifty.
Well, really now, that editor
Must be very, very young
Or he wouldn't try to regulate
The words of woman's tongue.
And so, in truth I don't suppose
I'll have much of a holler,"
If after all my strenuous work
l can't even get that dollar,
But just to show B. W-bee,
That woman can be terse,
I'll put the gist of all these words
In single little verse
Kick.
Dear Editor of The Citizen,
Hear me vociferate,
kick because upon the walks
The men eXpectorate.
Perchance to give to me the prize,
Would prove too enerous,
And so I'll show that l am wise
And remain anonymous.

anonymity has lost you a prize. Be
wiser the next time.

POLLUTION CAUSE OF DISEASE
Too Many Fowls Kept on One EncIe-
sure for Year Without Change Of
Ground-Shouid Be Divided.

Nearly every poultry raiser keeps
too many fowls In a limited area OF
ground. II ID common circumstance
to hear OF some person having good
SUCCESS with poultry for few years,
when all at once things begin to 20
wrong and the person loses faith in
the industry. Chickens die by the
dozens. and those that remain alive
fail to yield profit The cause OF
all the trouble seems to be hidden. yet
II is not far TO find. right IN the
ground OF the poultry yard.
Fifty or hundred or more chicks
or any other domestic animals, kept
ia one enclosure for year without
change. viii pollute their surround
lngs This Is true even with healthy
fowls. and where disease breaks out
1t Is much more true. The pollution
extends as rule. not only to the
grounds. but to the poultry house as
well II is often impossible or diff
fcult to purify the house. The result
Is that poison or disease become deep
seated In the surroundings and strin-
gent methods must be resorted to in
order TO eradicate them.
II is easy, or at least possible, to
clean and purify almost any poultry
house and make 1t fl for continued
habitation OF fowls without hav-
quarters II is not SO easy with
yards and grounds. The poison is SO
deeply absorbed by them that it re-
qui.es months TO remove it.
I ne immediate grounds around q
poultry house receive the most pollu-
ton. The grounds further away re-
ceive less For this reason, tns
grounds imme diately adjacent to Ihe
poultry house should be divide
