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

Nearly every poultry raiser keeps
too many fowls in a limited area OF
ground II is a common circumstance
to hear OF some person having good
success with poultry for a few years.
when all at once things begin to go
wrong and the person loses faith in
the industry. Chickens die by the
dozens. and those that remain alive
fail to yield a profit The cause OF
all the trouble seems to be hidden. yet
It is not far to find. right in the
ground OF the poultry yard
Fifty or a hundred or more chicks
or any other domestic animals. kept
in one enclosure for year without
change. will pollute their surround
ings This is true even with healthy
fowls. and where disease breaks out
It 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
ficult 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 II fit for continued
hahitation Of fowls without hav-
ing to change them TO other
quarters. II is not so easy with
yards and grounds The poison is so
deeply absorbed by them that it re-
Quires months to remove it,
The immediate grounds around a
poultry house receive the most pollu-
ton. The grounds further away re-
ceive less. For this reason, the
grounds Immediately adjacent to the
poultry house should be divided by
fence into at least two parts and each
part cultivated in some crop every
alternate year. with all poultry kept
from It during the season OF cultiva-
ton. This will allow much of dis
ease and other pests to die out for
want of anything TO feed on. and much
OF pollution and poison will be CON
sumed through physical and chemical
action in the soil. If the ground is
plowed deeply some of them will be
buried so deeply that they will never
come to light. Cultivation. aeration
and the growth of plants in the soil
all have a general tendency to soil
publication from the point of view of
animal sanitation.
Poultry grounds on the average
farm where there is an abundance of
free range can be kept comparatively
fresh by always feeding the fowls
away from the poultry house. They
will feed and range in other places If
no inducements are placed at or near
the house. Then they will use the
house only for roosting and laying
purposes and the natural daily pollu-
ton will be carried far away.

How the Coward Tenant
OF a Soul Was
Expelled
By HOWARD FIELDING
Copyright 1910. by American Press
Association.

At this season of thu ~~--, wnen we
stand at milepost and look toward
the future with a particular atten-
ton, it is well to remember that we
are complex creatures. made of many
ancestral tendencies; that there are
worthy and false prophets with
in US, towards and brave men. fools
and philosophers, all crowded into one
skin.
Paul Macdonald was born with a
forcboding disposition, natural tend
ency to expect the worst Here is
an instance: lie was named in the
odd will Of his stepfather, who left a
considerable fortune in trust for a
stated period at whose close it was to
be divided equally among four per
sons or as many of them as then sur
vived The wording was such that
the actual property right of any Of
these persons would begin at midnight
of Dec. 81, 1907-that is, if one of them
should die while the clock was catch
ing its breath to strike II his heirs
would get nothing and the survivors
among the four would get all, but he
who should expire one instant after
possessed of his appropriate share.
Paul was of the four, and he was
the only one who had either youth or
health, yet the fact of having this
date definitely set up before him in
such a way affected his peculiar men
tai tendency SO that he could not think
of himself us living past that Ominous
midnight He had a presentiment
about it.
Presentiments throw no light upon
the future, but they are undeniable
facts of sensation. Some persons are
subject to them, and others are not.
And the rule is that the illusion per
sists, no matter how often these mys-
terious intimations are proved to be
fallacious
When Paul entered the employ Of
the Deering Manufacturing company
he felt that he had made d mistake
and that he would not rise. Six years
later, at the age of twenty seven, he
was the manager of the company, the
responsible man next to John NJ Deer
ing, the owner. Deering died, and his
cousin. DR. Clinton Hammond of Bos.

ton, inherited the property Paul knew
in the marrow of his bones that he
could never get along with DR..
Hammond and that serious disasters
would result from the change of own
ership.
DR.. Hammond took great fancy to
Paul and, knowing himself to be
joke in the way of business, he decid-
ed to give Paul full swing. He Of
fered the young man many social at
tentions and, in short, made a friend
OF him. The rational part of Paul,
the part that / would call his own
proper personality. was delighted. but

ghost Of some unfortunate ancestor
probably Scotsman on the wrong
side of the observation-disclosures diff
culties. He was not fitted for the So
ciety IN which be was now asked to
move, said the ghost; he would better
stay in his own place.
Dir. Hammond had a sister much
younger than he-ztwenty, perhaps, at
this time-and a very beautiful crea-
ture. She looked upon Paul most kind
" at the outset. Then for time she
feared him and withdrew behind bar
riers made of the petals of lilies and
fed from him through the bird haunt
ed borders of the enchanted forest,
but as BE did not follow she came
forth again and wove spells Of. white
magic close about him, and he saw
nothing of It al. lie thought her the
Ioveiiest thing that Cod had made, and
at tiTnes he WIS sorry that he had
ever seen her, ret he was afraid that
she would withdraw herself beyond
his sight, offended perhaps BIZ some
error Of presumption on his part, so he
resolved to watch his conduct with a
hundred eyes, word and deed and
thought And no man ever succeeded

In the fall Of the year Celia asked

or to permit even u mOmcntary inter

There is being misconstrued hv manv
of the citizens of Shreveport the dccis-
ion of the Supreme Court in the case of
the Shreveport Ice and Brewing Com

a saloon in which there was kept for
sale what is called "near-bccr."
There had been in Shreveport at about
the time this suit was instituted a num-
Der Of saloons where the near beer"
was for sale. but these places were
closed, not for having sold "ncar-bccr'
but for the violation of the law which
prohibits the sale of intoxicants.
As is we'll known, the sale of "ncar-
beer" was simply a shield, a prctcnsc for
the sale of intoxicants. including Wits
key, but especially the beer which is beer
and intoxicates and is obtained from
the brcwerics.
When the law was being operated
against the 'ncar-Iccr Joints" Brown
and others realized that to keep near
beer" alone would be ruinous, as no one
would drink the stuff, and therefore he
sought the 6nIy reasonable alternative
left him, to avoid his contract
1t is from this effort at the annul-
mcnt of his contract or agreement that
suit was brought against him by tho

not sell the beer which is beer, nor in
