Disease spreads like a house
afre where sanitary conditions of

If you expect to have g,,od
healthy poultry, the drinking
pans must not be neglected. They
must be clean.
Allow the cool air to enter the
houses at night by taking out the
windows, but do not forget to
have inch mesh wire netting fast
ened to the opening to keep out
the enemies.
Watch the condition of the
young chickens. IL they are
moping, look for lice, especially
the large gray louise, found on the
head of the chick. A drop of

Cleanliness is a mighty factor

The Voice

The Voice.
The voice is a factor which can
not be overlooked as an aid to
success. The man who has a SON
orous ring in his tones, whose en-
unciation is clear and freef rom
aHectation and who uses good Ian
guage, inspires our confidence and
attracts attention to what he says
just as we are repealed by the
harsh, discordant speech and care
less, slipshod vocabulary of him
who is either handicapped by ma
ture with a poor voice or who
neglicts to train his vocal organs
IN the art of pleasing.
No n can take to a harsh,
rasping voice. It creates a rem
eral discord and all try to get
from it's influence. There is a love
of music implanted in every sorl.
The harmony of sweet sounds
soothes and captivates and makes
us feel at ease. IT'S through the
care that we are enabled to real
lie the beauty and melody of the
universe.
The notes of the skylark en-
thrall us; we listen in rapture tG
his full and perfect song as he war
bles his anthems. from the azure
dome of heaven, but we turn
from the dismal croak of the frog,
piping his cultural discord from
the fens and marshes.
The tones of a weil--balanced
piano send the blood tingling and
move the feet to a rhythmic ae-
complishemnt, while the jangling
tune jars on the nerves and CRATE
upon the entire being.
The same with the voice. A
well-modulated voice Of sweet
tone and pleasing infection ex-
ercises a power over us and holds
us by its sway.
To have a good voice it is nee
essary to have the requisite phys
zeal adjuncts. The first and fore
most of these is good health. There
must be pure red blood bounding
in the veins, the step must be ell
astic and the eye clear. You
must keep the body strong and
firm and the mind clear. The
muscles must be developed, the
nerves nourished and all the parts
kept in complete harmony.
If the body is we'll regulated it
follows that the mind will keep in
good working order. Both will
regulate the voice SO that the lat
ter will become a reflector of the
state of the former.
The man with a low, cultural
froglike voice cannot expect to
have the same attention paid to
his words as the man with an
open, s%oft-toned, mellow enuncia-
ton; the former al never get
the a of his audience.
You can be your w teacher
and your own critic. Read aloud,
listen to yourself, train your ear,
tutor it to be sensitive to harsh
sounds and pleased with a flow
Of smooth sentences. Open your
mouth and articulate distinctly.
Call all your organs into play and
make each do it's part.
Be cheerful, keep your disposi-
ton serene and genial. If you
are a croaker you will have a
croaking voice. If you are sun
ny your talk Will be sunny and it
will flow out like liquid amber in
a stream that will refresh your
listeners.
Be sure Of your pronunciation.
You can be a good talker with
out a degree after your name.
The most learned man amongst
us never uses a vocabulary of
more than 1000 words, through
the English language contains
something like 100000. The
most profuse author never uses
more than 5000 or 5000. Share
