CHICKENS SUFFER FROM GOUT
The State Board of Agriculture Finds
Ailment in Kent County Fowls

The latest aifmnet developed among
chickens in Delaware and the symp-
toms Of which are somewhat like
those that affect human beings, were
several cases of gout among some
Kent county fowl. Several chickens
that had died with this ailment and
the carcasses sent to the office of DR..
Frank Hare, poultry pathologist for
the State Board Of Agriculture had
many Of the symptoms indicating
gout. A postmortem examination
conducted in the laboratory at the
State House proved to hte satisfaction
Of the poultry pathologist that the
fowl had suffered from gout
The disease has brought on much
after the manner in which human be
ings become affected with gout, that
is a too heavy protein food. The
poultry rasier, when questioned adj
mitted that in addition to the meat
scraps around the household which
had been fed to the chickens he had
also given them unusual portions Of
the flesh Of fish. At any rate, the
combination was too heavy in meat
and the chickens suffered from swol-
len joints and hobbled around in much
distress and suffering just like the
man OF woman does whose feet swell
up and cause them intense pain from
gout.
In diagnosing the ailment the heart,
liver and intestines Of the fowls were
covered with mineral like spots, this
coming from the blood, showing the
abundance Of lime in the vital fluid
and which had crystallized on the or
gans of the affected chickens.
DR.. Hare advised the grower to cut
down on the amount Of meat scrop
he was feeding the chickens and he
did " with beneficial results to the
flock, as no more have died.
Several cases Of typhoid fever
among the chickens have also develop
ed recently and numerous cases Of
roup and cholera, with many colds.
These latter ailments, however, are
usually prevalent in cold weather.
The State Board of Agriculture,
through its poultry department, is
continuing with much success the
home record of fowls which poultry
men Of Delaware have come to realize
is most important improvement in
poultry raising.

the barn where the meat had been
salted, by prying off a rear door. Mr.

words sprang to her lips auto

But common sense had a we'd to

had the contents of her hand bag
spread out in her lap, A jade vanity
case, a few cards, two cobwebby
| handkerchiefs. a notebook and the
usual odds and ends to be found in
fashionable woman's possession.
But of money there was very little.
Virginia bit her lip with vexa-
ton. How could she have been so
negligent as to let her available
funds get so low? She would have
to cash a check at the hotel. She
put the things back in the bag. with
which she opened and examined,
trying to find her balance. 1t was

idea how much money she had in

bothered her in the past but it
doomed now like dread disaster.
The taxi was speeding south

in the traffic, and Virginia knew
that she was soon to be deposited
under the marquee Of the Ritz if
she did not do something to avert
it. 1t was simply impossible to go

quickly to leave the room.

and horror that a0ailed her. But

Somehow she pulled herself to-
