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

College Park, Md, Oct. 19-Wita
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
i 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. It
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).
1. 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.
8. See that the feed is eaten from
a clean place. If fed outdoors, change
the feeding place often. If fed inside,
it may be necessary to feed in troughs
or on boards which can be cleaned
readily.
4. If droppings from sick birds are
abnormal, go through the house and
yards often, collect such droppings
and destroy them.
5. If 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. If any are found,
they may be exterminated by applying
kerosene oil at frequent intervals
2. Provide good wholesome feed.
8. See that the birds have plenty OF
fresh air to breathe.

Needy Children Throughout Ma

Wellesley, Mass, Sept. 15.-An-
nouncement that an unlimited fund has
been set aside by the Ford Motor Com
pany, Of Detroit, TO be devoted to the
treatment Of crippled children through
out the country who are in need OF or
thopedc or surgical care, was made to-
day by the Rev. Samuel 4. Marquis,
head Of the Ford educational depart
ment, speaking at conference of bust
ness men here.
He said a fund originally had been
created for the use of crippled children
in the families of the employees Of the
concern. Because of its limitations,
however, another fund had been pro
vided for children throughout the coun-
try. Further details OF the plan we're
not made public.

Behind this sentence from Hsig's re-
ports is an interesting story of the
initial charge of wars modery cavalry.
For some time people have been waiting
for just this news, but the present big
thrust furnished the first opportunity
TO test the car travelling forth in a
major operation.
The topography Of the country over
which the action is being waged per-
mits these cars to dash down a gentle
slope, plough through hedges, and even
to hurdle narrow ditches and mounds.
They are extremely mobile.
The Duke Of Westminster has used

they are also not new on the East
front, but this is believed 20 be the

Success at Combles Fore
casts End of Deadlock
in Trenches.
By FRED B. PITNEi.

Paris, sept. l5.-Ihe frehcn nave
reached positions in the Somne battle
which encourage the hope that the tao
teal struggles Of two years can dc
velop into strategic work in the near
future. The battering that has crum-
bled the German trench line may soon
give way TO operations on a wider scale.
Still pressing forward north OF the
Somme, the French threaten the towns
of Combles and Rancourt. Already
they have cut their way through the
outer defences Of these strongholds.
By capturing Priez farm yesterday and
ground north of it to-day they encircled
Combles completely, except for two
roads leading TO the northeast. The
British advance to-day won control Of
these.
Foch's troops pushed forward to-day
to the outskirts of Rancourt, on the
Bapaume- -Peronne road. The Germans,
in an effort TO save the rest OF the
highway, delivered heavy counter at
tack from Clery, but this was hurled
back with heavy loss TO the Teutons.
The capture of Priez farm was a
notable work. This position was honey
combed with underground passages and
redoubts and fortified with six separate
lines OF trenches. These were cleaned
up completely by the French troops, to
whom detailed information had been
furnished through patrol enterprises
and photographs taken by avIators.
German counter attacks against the
two hills which had been the imme-
diate detectives of this offensive failed
utterly, showing that the French are
masters of these high positions. This
lends strength TO the belief that the
way has been cleared for more i'm
portant work on the front north Of the
Somme.
These two hills-Nos. 1870 and 10
face Mont st. Quentin, with only the
Tortille River and a canal blocking the
way. 1t is Mont ST. Quentin that
Fayolls must assault before Peronne
can be taken, for on that height the
greater part Of the German artillery is
massed.
Opposing Fayolle's troops arc the
forces commanded by Prince Rupprecht
of Bavaria, who now has 100000 troops,
including the last division brought hur-
riedly from Verdun. The ferceness OF
the German counter attacks indicates
the resolution with which the Germans
intend to defend the remaining de-
fences of Peronne.
But despite this determination and
despite the five divisions massed in
this sector, Prince Rupprecht's tactics
are falling before FsyOlle's repeated
blows. And il is to be imagined that
they will prove still more insufticien;
for the task set them if the offensive
opens up into the strategic phase when
the French descend the slopes OF the
hills they now occupy.
