TOMB of the mighty dead,
L How sacred every tree
Waving above thy head
Or shedding bloom on theeI
AS long as fair Potomac flows,
Sparkling meath MountVernon's sun,
Revered by friends and foes,
Dwell here, in blest repose,
Washington.
CONS of the pilgrim sires,
~ Sons of yon boundless west,
We whom the tropic fires
Or hoarse lakes lull to rest,
IF wandering wide you e'er forget
Ties that bind us all in me-,
Here, at your fathers feet,
The brothers vow repeat,
While the breeze respondent sweet,
Washington
ETE of Helena S rock
- Hath an enduring name
Echoed in battle shock,
Sculptured with blood and
VI
But, when the mother at her knee
Whispers to her graded son
The alphabet of liberty,
Will he not lisp of thee,
Washington
CHOULD baleful discord steal
~ Our patriot strength away,
Or fierce invasion's zeal
. Recall old Bunker's day,
Or mad disunion smite the tree
Nursed SO long in glory's sun,
Mount Vernon's tomb shall be
The watchword of the free,
Guiding their hearts to thee,
Washington!

They are sometimes misshapen and

It naturally follows that all hens
suspected of being infected with the.
disease should be reserved for the
butcher, and not allowed to- become
members of the breeding flock. Only
hens with strong constitutions, excess
OF vigor and vitality should be consid-
cred. In this connection 1t is strongly
emphasized that the successful hatch
ing and rearing of chicks depends. in a
large measure, upon the vitality and
vfgor of the breeding stock.
Since the DEVELOPMENT Of the chick
during the first six to ten weeks Of its
life Is fair index of its strength and
vigor the watchful poultryman will be
rewarded II these strong chicks are
marked to become candidates for the
breeding flock. All that have any taint
OF disease should be sent to the butch
er as soon as the laying season IL pass
ed By this simple means there is an
opportunity of eliminating the diseased
stock and building up q flock founded
upon a strong parentage.
Remedial measures have practically
narrowed down to preventive treat
ment. and using every effort to keep
the disease from becoming an epidemic.
A favorite practice and one that 10
meeting with universal favor is that of
IoOQlnS Ine CHICKS sour nllk Tor their
first feeds. The chicks are given the
sour milk forty-eight hours after
Matching. as much as they will con-
sumo. Along with the sour milk they
are given feed of fine oyster shell
meal to act as grit.
Where chicks show a disinclination
for feeding on this first meal of sour
milk, 1t is often given by forcib1e
methods. A medicine dropper is used
for this purpose and a generous meal
Is given at the time the chicks are
being transferred from the incubator
to the brooder. It is not enough mere
ly to place the fountain containing
sour milk before the chicks, but they
must be Induced to drink 1t. and the
larger the quantity they consume.
within reasonable limits, the better
will be the results. Sour milk should
form the bulk Of the diet for several
weeks. especially until all danger Of
the disease has passed.
