KEEP YOUR POULTRY
FREEFROM DISEASE
Avoid Troubles Resulting From
Improper Housing and F eeding.
HAVE SICK BIRDS ISOLATED
Experiment Station Poultryman Gives
Timely Suggestions For Pre-
venting Loss From
Disease.

College Park, Nd, Oct. 19.-With
the coming of fall, most laying hens
will be kept in closer quarters as re-
suit of which the danger of the spread
of disease is much increased. In this
connection, Poultryman Roy Fl. Waite,
Of the Maryland Experiment Station,
says, There are hundreds of diseases
and ailments that affect poultry, but
they can be divided into two general
classes.
First. Those caused by faulty man.
agement, improper feeding, poor hous-
ing, neglect, etc.
Second. Those caused by an infec-
ton which is passed from bird to bird
or from flock to flock.
While it is interestingg to know the
name Of the disease, this is not so es-
sential before treatment is begun. 1t
Is hardly necessary even to know into
which two of the above classes the
disease falls, before treatment is be-
gun. General treatment is very much
the same for all disease. There Is
some doubt about many of the SPECIFIC
remedies recommended for disease
doing much more than ease the mind
Of the poultry raisers. There are,
however, three things that should be
done in all cases.
A. Take the sick birds out OF the
dock and put them by themselves.
B. Remove the source of infection
(even if the disease is not infectious,
no harm will be done by following
these directions).
l. Destroy. by burying deeply or by
burning, all fowls that die of the dis
ease.
2. Prevent the birds from working
among or picking at the droppings
from the flock.
3. See that the feed is eaten from
clean place. II fed outdoors, change
the feeding place often. If fed inside,
1t may be necessary to feed in troughs
or on boards which can be cleaned
readily
4. II droppings from sick birds are
abnormal, 90 through the house and
yards often, collect such droppings
and destroy them.
s, II practicable, spray the floor
and feed troughs occasionally, with
some good disinfectant,
c. Give careful attention to care
and feeding:
/. See that there are no red mites
under the roosts or in the cracks
about the house. II any are found,
they may be exterminated by applying
kerosene oil at frequent intervals.
g. Provide good wholesome feed.
g. See that the birds have plenty OF
fresh air to breathe.

WILSON DEEMED IT FUTILE
TO STAND FIRMLY.

President Wilson seeks to JUS
tify himself on the ground that
II was futile" and dangerous
to stand firmly" This Is an
appeal that can with equal truth
be made by every soldier who
runs away In battle. He further
alleges his belief that the cause
he championed has the sane
ton of the judgment Of society
in its favor" remember thir-
ty-odd years ago in the Black
Hills local vigilance commit
tee which was in doubt about
hanging suspected wrongdoer.
While they were discussing the
matter, there appeared over the
neighboring divide frowsy, ell
derby hOrSeman in Il linen duS-
ter, who promptly galloped to-
wards them waving his arms
and shouting Hang him! Hang
him!" The leader of the vigi-
lantes at once asked the frowsy
stranger what he knew of the
facts, whereupon the stranger
answered: II do moi know any
thing about the facts, and new
or saw the man before; but
there's eleven of you and only
one of him. and | believe In ma.
jority rule |" This Is merely II
picturesque paraphrase of what
Mr.. Wilson calls action under
the sanction of society,"" II ex-
emplities the principle upon
which President Wilson has act
ed in those public matters. in

force.-F'rom the Speech of Col
