COMMON CASES OF
POULTRY LOSSES
There is possibly no more impor-
tant work being done for the farmers
and poultry raisers of the State today
than the aid tendered by the Penn-
sylvania Department of Agriculture
~ through its expert poultrymen. During |i
the past few weeks, W. Theo. Witt-
man, poultry expert of the Department ¢ 8
made a number of calls and he reports | : .
the results of four visits which were [i
typical cases of all too common cases |
of loss due either to lack of knowledge |

At one farm a farmer reported last
his hens were dying of no disease in :
particular—just dying. Investigation
of the poultry house showed the lice |
so thick under the perches that they | §
-could be scooped off literally by the }
handful. They were gorged with blood
and bad been probably for weeks, ac-
counting for the “mysterious” dying

Wille Collier—who likes to be
known as William but cannot—tells
the story of an East Side huckster
who was selling eggs to a bartender
in Chatham Square New York: The
bartender purchased two dozen from
the basket and there was one egg
left.
“Why don’t you throw that egg in
for extra measure?” he asked.
“I can’t do that, my friend,” said
the huckster, “that is ray profit.”
Aw, go ahead. Don’t be a tightwad.”
“No, no. I can‘t do it. Ill tell you
what I'll do, though, - Ill give you the
egg for a drink,” SF dar i

LIVING ON YOUR NERVES

which does the damage.
It is so easy to go a little further on
your nerves when you know that phy-
sically you need rest and relaxation.
There may be times of stress and
strain when it is justifiable to expect
every atom of endurance but this is
only under special circumstances, To
practice it regularly in order to over
crowd one’s days is certain to result
disastrously.
There is much in our modern life
with its diversity of interests which
tends to excite and irritate the ner:
vous system. We should make an ef-
fort to ofset this as much as possible.
One may find pleasure and diversion
without rushing madly about under
high pressure.
People who live on their nerves un-
til nervousness becomes chronié¢ find
that it brings a train of evils, indigest-
ion, worry, excitability, temper, and
restlessness, all great handicaps to
efficient work and rational pleasure.
