Filthy, damp quarters weakens the vitality of the fowls ajjd when the pox virus is present en ables it to develop and produce the disease. The disease usually devel ops when the chickens come in con tact with mouldy litter or grain, or other mold. I Any one who has seen this wart like growths on the head can easily rec- 'ognize the disease. All quarters should be kept free from mold and excessive dampness; also a table spoonful of sulphur fed in a wet mash will aid materially in keeping off the disease. Permanganate of potash in the drinking water is also a good preventative. - ? Treatment:—Immerse the heads of birds for fifteen seconds in the follow ing solution: l teaspoonful Fur-Sul, l quart water. Treat twice daily un til birds are cured.

THE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH e - ' • ; ^. - > ''' * • A country can grow its railroads It is recognized that the South today offers remarkable opportunities for the profitable investment of capital. But, if freight service is to be adequate to care for the increased output of factories, mines, farms and forests, a very considerable part of this new capital will have to be devoted to railroad development. Investors will naturally place, their funds in securities yielding attractive and assured returns. The Southern Railway Company, like any other business, will have to bid for its funds in the general investment markets. The ability of the Southern to obtain needed new capital will depend on its earning power aifd the rate of return it offers investors. O SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM J
