Itself.
They have nlrenily hitched
electricity in another form, to most
of the wagons of Industry.
Energy, controlled, Is tremendously
useful. Uncontrolled It Is tremendous­
ly destructive.
Temper Is highly concentrated en­
ergy. Allowed to take its own course.
It is capable of doing lntlntte damage.
Controlled, kept In check, and di­
rected luto useful channels. It Is an
asset that can be turned Into ready
money.
If you have a high temper It Is proof
that you have energy. Lazy, languid
men never get angry or excited.
But your fits of anger, your explo­
sions of temper, are sheer waste of
the energy that Is stored up in you.
They lose you your friends. They
destroy your judgment. They bring
about consequences which you cannot
foresee and from which you may never
recover.
Harness your temper as men har­
ness the energy that Is stored in moun­
tain torrents. Employ the ‘‘pep-’ that
now goes to waste when you fly oil
your handle. In attacking your Job.
If you have got to get excited, get
excited over your work. If you are
bound to get mad, get mad at your­
self for not accomplishing more than
you are accomplishing.
Nothing Important Is ever done with­
out energy. And If your energy Is al­
lowed to run away, as does the uncon­
trolled stream, you will have none left
with which to do the great things
which you have planned to do.
Temper, kept within bounds, proper'
ly directed, will carry a man far on
his wuy to success and happiness.
Permitted to “blow up" It will kqpp
him in continual trouble, and land him
in the poor house If he Is fortunate
enough to escape Jail.

One of the worse results of the wet
and Inclement weather of fall and
early winter Is the disease of chickens
commonly called roup. It resembles
the more malignaut forms of Influenza
in larger animals and In man, attack­
ing principally the membranes lining
(lie eye, the sacks below the eye, the
nostrils, the larynx and the trachea.
It Is attended with high fever and Is
very contagious, but the nature of the
germ is not yet known. However, It
Is known that contagion Is brought
into the poultry yard by Infected birds.
Outbreaks of roup in the fall occur
most commonly where the growing
chickens are overcrowded In the coop
or where the coops are not waterproof
or are poorly ventltlated. Sometimes
these are birds purchased from other
flocks, and sometimes they are birds
from the home flock which have been
on exhibition and exposed to conta­
gion. Again, they are wild birds or
pigeons which fly from one poultry
yard to another.
Delicate birds have very severe at­
tacks and recover slowly, ns pointed
out in Farmers’ Bulletin 057, published
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. Often a chronic condi­
tion persists for a long time and
birds so affected give and spread the
disease for a year or more, becoming
a starting point for many new ous
breaks.
At first symptoms are similar to an
ordinary cold, but there Is more fever,
dullness and prostration. The eyelids
are swollen and held closed most of
the time. The birds sneeze nnd shake
their heads in their efforts to free the
air passages. Sometimes the eyes are
entirely closed nnd birds are prevent­
ed from finding food. This, of course,
results In rapid loss cf etr**ngth, nnd
many of the birds die within n week
