DON'T forget that it is much easier to

DON'T forget that if you look to the

THE POULTRY YARD.
humble Foot.

This is quite common ailment among
the heavy breeds of fowls, and is some
what akin to stone bruise," with which
barefoOted boys are acquainted. OF it
the Poultry Monthly says:
1t is hard swelling, and usually
comes on the ball Of the foot; if neg
lected it forms into an abscess, and
afteward hardens down to corn. 1t
sometimes begins like a wart or black
spot, the swelling spreading around it,
and sometimes there is an enlargement of
the toes, or between the toes, to the size
of an acorn, the under surface showing
a yellow, cheesy matter when opened.
Bundle foot is usually caused by the
fowl jumping from high perch upon a
stone, cinder, or hard lump: continually
walking on hard and uneven clayey soil,
perching on knotty or sharp pointed
poles, slivers, or severe contusions
against some hard substance.
Treatment.-When first noticed, ex-
anime it carefully, and see in what stage
it has developed. If not too far ahead,
paint it freely with tincture of iron and
arnica. This treatment will take the
soreness out, and eitherdispel the fluids
of suppuration, or hasten it's ripeness.
After suppuration takes place, make
cruciform cut thus (X), with lance or
sharp knife into the core, and press out
all the puss and core; then syringe it
we'll with one part carbolic acid, to ten
of water, for several days. If the core
does not yield to this treatment, apply
lunar caustic or blue stone to it. Poul-
tees of linseed meal will hasten the
healing and draw out the purulent mat
ter. When the swelling is between the
toes, or on the shank, open at the bot
tom and the top, and use the syringe
with the acid solution. The bird should
be kept on soft bed Of straw or fine
loan, for sometime, and not allowed to
perch until we'll
