Drafting Houses

We are getting accustomed TO all sorts Of drafts
that it exctes us but TO momentary comment when we
hear of the governments draft of houses in Washington
happened that rich folk had winter houses in
the national capital and homes nearby. Usually
they lived in New York Newport spending but few days
in their Washington mansions
Those houses needed for government clerks and
officers detained in Washington They Communicated
The Glover house, the Stison Hutchns residence and
those of the Keans Beaes McMlans and the Robert T.
Lncons all taken by the government and turned into
dormitores for workers in where real estate
hogs holding up government employees for abnornay
high rentals About 5000 workers have been provided
for Every house. not occupied is to be Communicated
Already closing up their New York
and Newport residences and huryng back to Washington
to live in their homes. Others periodically sending
the front door keys the government and telling go
far as it likes in using the houses.
Those who close their New York and Newport homes
rather than permit workers to live in their Washington
homes remind us of that dog in the Manager.

NEED TO GUARD AGAINST RouP
Disease Most Frequently Caused by
Poorly Ventilated House.

One of the most common diseases
OF the farm poultry flock during the
autumn Is roup. This disease IL FIRE,
quenty found in damp, poorly ven,
tilated houses and Is most often con-
tracted by birds that are poorly con
vcloped and of low vitality. Fowls ot
this type frequently get roup and art
The means of spreading II throughout
the flock, obviously, prevention should
consist Of eliminating the wenkling,
from the flock and providing n house
that will be dry and free from drafts,
but well ventilated. As an additional
prevention against this disease as
much potassium permanganate as will
remain on the surface OF dime should
be added to each gallon Of drinking
water and kept constantly before the
fowls, This acts ms an antiseptic and

dltlon. An attempt Ia cure the indl'
vldual OF roup is not advisable, for,
although In the majority OF cases
there nay be an apparent cure, the
danger Of relnfection is great and fire..
Quently such birds cause the disease
TO spread throughout the flock. The
safest policy is Immediately 10 remove
from the flock and kill such birds as
show the first symptoms, which are
easily recognized by II watery dis.
charge from the nostrils or eyes.
II Is advisable nj this time OF the
yenr to be on the constant lookout for
the presence Of mites on the fowls,
and pfrticalarly In the poultry house.

vitality of tlAe birds. and thus render
them liable tP disease, but their pres
