Il speak for Virginia, the mother
Of presidents, in whose hallowed soil
rests the ashes of her great men. the
first chief magistrate of the United
States. Within her borders grim
visaged war reaped bloody harvest,
but from her battle-stained field
sprang the seed of a new generation,
one that has placed the dear old state
in the.yery forefront OF thriving COM
munities.
Il speak to you for that sturdy state
carved from the loins Of her noble
mother-West Virginia. Wealth be-
yond the dreams OF avarice is held ir

hundreds OF steamships carry the
Iproducts of her industry.

Rour is a word that strikes terror to the heart Of those " o have @ flock Of fowls for which they care just as does the word diptheria in the home. Once it gets into the flock it Is hard to eradicate and many Is the flock that it has devastated and ruined IL is apt to start from

 The general condition of roupy fowls is apt 10 vary much according to cir c,mstances. The first symptoms are usually a droopiness and a notice able discharge rom the nostrils and from the eyes The sick fowl may return to it's food and to water, es- peelsily the latter, and l. is from the dro. ping of the pufrid catarrhal discharge into the drinking vessel that the disease is most commonly imparted to ot CT members of the focF Hence at the first sign of the disease or even suspicion of t the sick bird should be taken away from thc others at once. the coop fGmigated. and the drinking vessels
 leansed and a diluted roup medicine tut into the drinking water fer the well fowls as a preventive remedy.
 The affected bird generally becomes restless and separates itself from the others, moping in corners. It will hide its head beneath it's wings and and draw the head close to the body, thus smearing the feathers with the discharge. cumming them together ard causing them Co fan. Eyes be. come gummsd saut and in early stages the breath ratties There Is ire quent coughing and sneezing also, the air passages becoming blocked
 Later the disease becomes chronic and swelings and tumors form, the latter being filled with cheesy, yellow matter. The tumor removed, 1t is found surrounded with thick grey is matter which has to be pulled away
 The disease is highly contagious and infections and the best remedies are preventive, the aggregation of sick birds. Immigration, cleansing Of food troaghs and the giving Of reme- dies in mild doses to the well birds before signs os the disease appear among the other members.
