down on the sofa and burst into tears.

laid it upon her hair.

He frowned in an effort to think of
something else to say. But all he
could think of was: Don't cry" and
that didn't seem to do any good. He
was thinking some very uncomplimen-

man stared. She was laughing-a

tears. The laugh astonished him more
than the tears. but it was an immense
relief to him, just the same.

ROUP A FALL
POULTRY TROUBLE

Clemson College, Nov. 9.-One of
the most common diseases of the
farm poultry flock during the au-
tumn is roup, say poultry specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. This disease is fire.
quently found in damp, poorly ven-
tilated houses and is most often
contracted by birds that are poorly
developed and of low vitality. Fowls
of this type frequently get roup and
are the means of spreading it
through the flock. Obviously, pre-
vention should consist of eliminating
the weaklings' from the flock and
providing a house that will be dry
and free from drafts, but well ven-
tilated.
An additional prevention against
this disease is the following: Add
as much potassium permanganate
as will remain on the surface Of a
dime to each gallon of drinking wa
ter and keep before the fowls. This
acts as an antiseptic and will help
to keep the birds in good condition.
An attempt to cure the individual OF
roup is not advisable, for, although
in the majority of cases, there may
be an apparent cure, the danger of
reinfecton is great, and frequently
such birds cause the disease to
spread throughout the flock. The
safest policy is Immediately to re-
move such birds from the flock and
kill them as soon as they show the
first symptoms, recognized by a
watery discharge from the nostrils
or eyes.
