However, there are two varieties of
Mrehriad, the dry and the moist. The
wait of dry type haw been described.
The variety is found when the
fungiis attacks the mucous membrane

are filled with mucous/0
Tills explanation of tlie origin and
gauge "I sorehead suggests means for
the prevention and control of the di
sease. In almost every case that has
Iteeii reported to the writer the poul
tryina n remembered that the litter in
the poultry house had become damp
and moldy, of that moldy feed had been
fed, or that the chickens had been
roosting In a warm damp house where
mold was probably present. It can be
stated with assurance that an outbreak
.of sorehead is impossible where there
are no conditions among the fowls
favorable for the development of mold
spores. Hence, at this season of the
year especially, the poultry should be

It has heen stated that a mixture of
Kpsoin salts and sulphur given several
times a week in the mash will prevent
an attack of Horeheud. The fallacy
of this opinion Is apparent, hut It re
rulnied for one of the visitors to the
Clemson College eg# layltiK contest at
the state fulr to prove positively that
a scouring of sultHjind sulphur in no
preventive of this disease, lie followed
the directions and gave the suits and
sulphur regularly from last July, hut
shortly before the state fair his ehlek
ens had the worst attuck of aprehead
he had ever seen. Many died and the
remainder were still sick when he told
the story. His course of *ults and sul
phur did not proved t the stores of the
fungus from attacking the exposed
llesh of the chickens and It 1h doubt
fur If the treatment would oven mini
mize the severity of the outbreak.
Probably the simplest method of
treating sorehead Is to House the head
of each afflicted fowl In a mixture of
(HM'iuaugunat" of potash and peroxblo
of hydrogen. First, make a dark pur
ple solution of permanganate of jmtash
In water. Only u wiuull ipuount of tho
crystals will be needed to color u quart
of water purple. Then add a teaspoon
ful of i>eroxlde of hydrogen to the
quart of purple solution.
Catch the Chicken and, holding Us
feet and wings In the left hand, shake
its head around in the solution with
the right hand. Repeat, twice, or until
the Holutlon has entered 'all tho pas
sages of the head and had an oppor
tunity to attack the' fungus growth.

SANITARY HOME FOR
FOWLS IS NECESSITY.
Providing Hens With Proper
Quarters First Stop in Profit
able Egg Production.
Clotnson College, Nov. J 2, The llrst
step to .!?? taken In' the direction of
profitable egg production in South Car
olhm according to F, C. Ilare, poultry
husbandman of Clemson College, is to
provide a sanitary poultry house for
the fowlH. Up-to-date hens, with mod
ern clHolemy methods of luiuniftu'tur
1hk eggs, require "modern convenienc
es" in their homo* Just an mueh an do
up-to-date i>eople, and they will not do
good work If made to live lu what,
might be called "chicken slums." Mr.
Hare has outlined lu simple form what
Is "JuHt the thing" In poultry house
construction fur South Carolina and
sonic of these directions follow,
First, says Mr, Hare, who has the
reputation of knowing what to say
when the subject of conversation is
poultry houses, ? remodel your i>oultry
house, if necessary, and make tt con
form to South Carolina conditions, un
der which fowlH require nn open-front,
draft-proof bouse in winter and as eool
a house as possible ? in summer. If
you want to build, erect un Inexpensive
house closed tight on the east and west
sides (also on the north side In win
ter) and open on the south or front.
A good size to accomodate forty fowls
is 10 feet long, by 8 feet wide, with
the studs 0 feet high in front and 4
feet high in the rear. The 10-foot side
6 feet high faces south.
('over this south front with 3-4 inch
mash wire netting, with the exception
of 2 feet at the bottom, which board
t winds from blowing in
keep out rats or sparrows you can
use 2-Inch mesh wire netting, which is
cheaper than the smaller mesh. A door
2 1-2 feet wide Is placed at either end
of tye front and covered with wire
netting and boards. Before completing
the near (north) side, make three
wooden doors 2 feet wide and, about 3
feet long for the Upper hulf of the
wall. Hinge them outside to drop down
and cover the openings with wire net
ting. .These back doors must be closed
tight in cold weather, but by opening
them in summer the hot air inside the
house is removed by the draft created
and the house is much cooler than one
with no circulation.
Have the roosts and nests remova?
ble. Small packing boxes from the
grocery store with clean straw and a
couple of tiest eggs in them are more
sanitary than nests built under the
dropboard or nailed to the house where
they cannot be readily ? cleaned. Nail
four laths to the boxes, raise them one
foot from the ground and place them
agdlnst the wall. Six nests are suffi
cient. /
The roosts about 10 feet long are
required, made of 2 by 3 inch dr^ted
lumber with the corners of the 2-inch
face (on which the fowls roost) round
ed. Nail cleats 4 Inches wide by 2
feet long to the side walls, with two
notches 2 inches wide by 1 1-2 Inches
deep cut In them 14 inches apart, tnese
being for the roosts to rest In. Tlie
two roosts are level (not one above
the other, which causes fighting for
possession of the top roost) ' with the
upper edge 30 incites above the sill,
and the rear roost 10 inches from the
north wall. The dropboard is 30 inches
wide by about 10 feet long, placed 0
Inches below the bottom of the roosts.
Clean of the droppings at least once a
week.
Keep scratching material on the -floor
A dry earth floor is satisfactory. Fill
In with garden soil so that It Is high
er than the outside ground, then cover
it with 6 inches of straw, pine straw,
leaves, litter of any kind or sluiviugs.
Place the water dish on a box or shelf
of sufficient size for the hen<4 to stand
on it, In order to keep it dean.
More Horses Sentto Europe.
? St, Louis, Mo. i Nov. 7.- ? Twenty
thousand additional head of horses are
to !>e purchased 5n Missouri and south
ern Illinois by agents of the British,
French and Russian governments, ac:
cording to recent reports. It is said
the agents of the various governments
have been instructed to make the pur
chases. A uniform price of $270 Is be
ing paid for each horse, and white and
grey horses are being refused.
The German government is said to be
offering $000 to $800 a head for hones
delivered in Germany.
The French agents have. also bought
flour and great qusfttitien of other pro*
visions here.

IOYS AND SORROWS
Emotions That Are Closely Akin
in the Hearts of All the
Children of God.

Year Has Not Brought Both, twit

at This Tims,
OY and sorrow are not so
fur apart um might be Im
agined, The little child
who cries over the death
of a kitten or a pony be
cause death has robbed
him of the brightness and
happiness of their pos
session, will also weep
for sheer happiness when
an overwhelming delight has come
suddenly into his little world. Evi
dently both feelings touch something
akin in the innermost being. That
may be what the people mean who de
claro t hat extremes meet.
And yet one emotion expresses joy,
the other pain. We are indeed curl?
ousiy constituted, when things ho dis
similar have the same effect upon our
expressions. Perhaps the truth of the
matter is that whatever is deep
enough to tap our real selves, at
the center of our nature, has to go
to one common reservoir. The ripples
of pleasure und the blowings of hard
fate move the depthB of this reservoir
In just the same way, because when
they^ reach there they represent only
emotion of the most realistic charac
ter. *
The wrinkled, aged mother weeps
about the neck of her long-lost son
In her ecstasy of joy at his return,

ere nearly always almost on tbe verge
of ruin A single night drawn the line
between failure and fUQCftM* Tbe
relief of having it ell safely over' would
be hard to bear, indeed, if we stopped
to think of It.
For never is a man more helpless
than when he comes to gepeftd upon
the crops. And we all depend upon
the crops. Htarvation is only junt
spared the world year by year. Those
who realize it fully may be excused
If (heir Joy becomes poignant enough
to becloud the face, and make tho eye
watery. ?->
What If the harvest had not spread
the table of tbe world satisfactorily?
There is never a full year's spare sup
ply of bread on hand, you know. And
it is hard to see children, women and
strong men staud helpless in the face
of famine. Home part of the world
faces famine conditions every year!
Our Thanksgiving Is for the harvest
primarily, remember. Knter iuto tbe
spirit of it. Try this year and real
ise what the harvest meant) to you,
your country and tho whole of the na
tions. Reach down Into your heart's
recesses, and feel how little, after all,
you have done to secure for us all
thlB crop, than just to drop the seed
into the prepared soil, and gather H
up when the crop baa been given
f9Vr 1 - ? ? r--:" ? '
Possibly It would do you no harm If
you measure up to your privileges,
aud then ask of yourself: "How
much of this harvest did I deserve, re*
memberlng whence it cume, and what
I am and have been?"
Take Thanksgiving day that way, and
you will cease to wonder why it wrb
this message began with tears min
gling with Joys and sorrows. It Is an
affecting time to all of us* the bless
ings from the fields are so fine, so un
deserved, so necessary. They lead
to thankfulness, and to Thanksgiving
almost naturally. When you add to
them the glorious blessings of peace,

as she had wept bitterly over the
news of his disappearance. Mothers
weep as they pray tor blessings upon
the distant one, and weep when they
come bringing sheaves of blessings
with them.
We know of that sort of thing In
the history of the crop that has Just
been harvested. Such anxiety there
has never been over It! So much de^
pended upon what should come back
to us fro 1)1 the seed grain we threw
into the s</ll and helplessly left there,
last spring. Whether .prosperity or
tribulation should befadl our coun
try hung upon the crop. Wars abroad
and restricted ? funds at home were
hard to put up with even temporarily,
and* ftll over . AmaHon ? thoughtful
'men anxiously awaited what every
week brought forth regarding the state
of the growing grain. Hundreds of
farmers had struggled along through
discouragement so far, and their suc
cess or failure seemed to depend just
upon this one year's crop.
And ythen news gradually Altered
through the usual channels of Infor
mation that plenty was to crown the
plains. A first-rate crop was harvest
ed. Anxiety was turned into Joy. A
year's success with the grain means so
much. '
The heaviness which brooded over
ui Bg withered away l>efore the Joy,
that came in the morning after the
threshers had done their work, and
the blessing of the months past could
actually be weighed and measured. If
we could almost have wept wtth anx
iety last spring; we are almost ready
to weep for Joy now that Thanksgiv*
ing time has come round to us. Mort
gages will be lightened. Notes wlU
be met Education can be afforded
for the promising lad or girl. There
need not be stinting In the house next
winter. Many a devout man and worn- '
an, many a thoughtful father and
mother, will feel a filling of the heart,
and throat as they realise what the
harvest means to them, and what Jtoy
It brlngp Into life for the toyed ones.
!tar harvest always im a tiirw for ?
heart-full kind of happiness The tear
Is never verf far away trass the
the Joy of living In a new, fresh, rap*
Idly developing country, with bright
promises to crown the lives of the
little ones, a climate full of variety to
Invigorate and encourage us to clear
thought and constant effort, there Is
something wrong If you do not feel
the impulse within to shout out:
-''Praise Qod from whom all blessings
flow," and to realize how true it ' ii
that Joy lies very close to tears.
