We are glad to see that some OF our
experiment stations are taking up the
work OF investigating along the lines OF
poultry culture. We do not know OF
any line In agricultural science that Is
shroudcd In greater mystery. Poultry
diseases are entirely beyond the realm
OF books at the present time, thouEn
many books pretend to tell people how
to treat them. Their advice IL appa-
rently based on limited observations
rather than exhaustive Investigation.
II one would be convinced on this point
he has but to read the investigations
carried on by the government some
years ago as to the disease known ~
chicken cholera. The report In the an
nual bulletin Issued by the department
showed many things that are not gen
orally supposed TO he facts connected
with that disease. To Illustrate. II ia
generally given rs a reliable indica-
tlon OF cholera that the fowl must die
within a few hours, and that II the dis
case causes the fowl TO finger for some

the disease IL not cholera. but merely

shown this to be entirely erroneous. the

than are we. what we need IL a most
thorough investigation Of the disease

many problems that can be solved 10
no other way. We have disease that
we call roup. II Ia quite widely boliey-

some OF their symptoms. An invesii-
CATION Of the germs would tell us what
we really had 20 contend with and
might point out a solution. Il might
be found also that some OF them were
