II has been said that 80 per cent
OF the ailments that attack chick
ems are directly due to either the
carelessness or ignorance OF the at.
tendant, especially where fowls are
confined In close quarters.
There are many causes for the
diseases OF fowls, among which are:
Too close inbreeding (no new, out
side stock introduced into the
flock, impairing the stamina and
vitality OF the fowls; the presence
OF filth in or around the poultry
house; stagnant and filthy drink
Ing water: improper ventilation;
direct drafts In the roosting house;
allowing access to decaying vegeta.
ton or flesh; lack OF good, sharp
grit; and lice.
The worst disease Is undoubtedly
roup. The first symptoms are sneez-
ing and a slight running at the
nostrils, the appetite fails, the
comb begins to turn black, and un-
less relieved the chicken dies in a
few days. II Is contagious to the
rest OF the flock. so separate them
at once. Excellent remedies are
on the market. A few drops Of
tincture OF muriate Of iron and a
small piece OF gum camphor In
the drinking water will cure any
but the very severe cases. A
chicken that gets a very severe case
might as well be killed, its carcass
should be burned,
Next to roup, cholera Is most
to be dreaded. The symptoms arc
dumpishness and q diarrhea, the
excrement being OF greenish
yellow color. Cholera is highly
contagious. Feed lightly with, q

Saloon league uniting. Suppose they

happen? The liquor traffic would 60

would be formed OF entirely new men
In opposition to the philosophy OF the
league.
The party was simply called into be
ing because Of great fundamental
principle that needed championship.
II will not and cannot down until the
principle is made q part or govern
ment.
You can offer no other reason for
the existence Of the party for over Az
years without a victory. Why 10 u
that these men hold on and on against
all odds? Everything against them

nest always misrepresented. Your

mental principle. I will quote 1t. II
was written In ;S6S as q syiiosism
by John Russell. who Is known e5 the
father of the rrot.l ition pec.!. and
on this was the Prohibition framed.
IL follows:
When members OF the same politi-
cal party are radically divided on any
question, II becomes impossible for
the party to give positive and effer-
tive legislation on that question. But,
members OF the Republican party Tor
Democratic), are radically divided on
the question Of the liquor trafiic;
therefore, II Is impossible for the Re-
publican party to give positive and
effective legislation on that question.
Hence, the establishment and sue
cess OF the National Prohibition party
Is an imperious necessity to the tenn
eeFaHee FefeFmraHd- the support OF
said party a solemn duty on the part
Of temperance men,"
The LIQUOR traffic cannot be solved
by either Of the dominant political
parties, with or without local option
laws. There is no intelligent person
who would attempt to debate the res
olution given above which has been
before the public for years. The Anti
Saloon league cannot produce man
who would dare to meet them.
I have been a political party man
since 1884, and have never met man
who would debate the negative OF this
question. Why?

Is there q more noted Prohibition

States than President Samuel Dickie,
of Albion college, a member OF the
national committee, and at one time
national chairman? II I am wrong,
Why did President Dickie work and
vote for local Prohibition in Calhoun
county? VIM. A. Taylor, former state
chairman and now editor OF The True
American, the state Prohibition paper,
did the same thing. Did not Fred w.
Corbett, former state chairman and
candidate for governor in the last
campaign take charge Of the local
Prohibition" fight In lngham county
AID carried 1t dry? Leroy II. White,
Joiner secretary of state central COM
nittee, took active part in the cam
paign In Kalamazoo county. Did not
Ed. Townsend of Ionia county, noted
Prohibitionist and at one time treasur-
or OF state commission, pour in his
money and take up active work that
assured Ionia county going dry? Is
not Fred Corbett now irf< that same
campaign In Ionia county? Did not E.
A. Mason himself do heroic service
In carrying Oakland county dry? The
fact Is, Prohibitionists have been
found In the foremost ranks OF this
great struggle that has-dried- up 40
counties. Huron county would not
have enough names on the petitions
