Poultry raisers who wait until dis
Ease appears in the flock and then
prepare to make defensive attack
are likely to be successful only In rare
cases. BY far the best plan is to
care for the flock In such way that
disease will not appear. The aim in
controlling the diseases of poultry is,

them rather than how to cure.

As all poultry Is susceptible to many
diseases, some Of which are highly in,
fictitious and resist all efforts of treat.
ment, the bulletin suggests that when
birds become sick 1t is often the best
plan to kill them. The greater the
number Of birds kept upon any farm

LEMON DROPS FOR SOLDIERS
United States Fighting Men Were
Generously Supplied With the
Best That Could Be Made.

When our draft armies first came
into training, it was found that the
lemon drop was favorite candy
among the men. 1t was found also
that most Of the commercial lemon
drops were made Of glucose, favored
not with the fruit but with an acid
imitation. The military authorities
obtained samples of lemon drops
from practically all the candy max
crs in the country, analyzed these,
chose the best one. obtained the
formula for its manufacture. and
distributed orders for a supply OF
lemon drops to be made according to
the accepted recipe. Consequently,
the soldiers were supplied with a
lemon drop made Of pure graduated
sugar, and favored with an emul-
sion from the rind of lemon. This
confection had the thirst-quenching
quality Of good lemonade. And it
was used by the soldiers at the rate
OF 100000 pounds 4 month.~--Scien.

While the city has no pictures

that If anyone who has snaps of

Several of the flyers who passed
through here later met their death,
and probably some have pictures
