Yet 1t Is no trouble to find any number
OF poultry houses that are damp, vera

In the pre-war days It was oompe4stl
lively easy to make profit from po1JSr

keepers paid little, or no attention 10
the constantly improved methods thaGS

many instances they have been una

Why Disease 10 Caused by Fear.
