II. Garman, In Bulletin 20 OF tho
Kentucky Experiment Station, thus re-
lates his experience with the cape
worms when the chicks were kept ON
dirt floors and on board ioora:
find by experiment that II is pos
sible to prevent the trouble completely
on my place at Lexington by keeping
chicks on a board floor from the time
they are Matched until they are large
enough to endure tho attacks OF the
worms.
Chicks patched by two hens June
81. 1897. were taken from tho nests
before they had an opportunity to get
to the ground. and confined In two
compartments OF IL, same coop. One
compartment was provided with
board floor: In the other the chicks
were allowed the freedom OF tho
ground. There were twenty chicks In
all divided equally between the two
hens and confined In the two eompart-
ments. which were separated by wlro
netting, Immediately after the expert
mont was started three OF the lot on
the floor managed 10 get into the other
compartment and were allowed 10 re-
main. There were thus on the plank
floor seven chicks. while confined on
the ground beside them were thirteen.
Ono OF the latter lot died from some
unknown trouble soon after they
Matched. leaving only twelve for ex-
pertinent.
The two lots were treated alike in
every respect except In the matter OF
the floor and In the character OF food.
Those on the plank floor received the
accustomed food given young chicks.
namely, corn meal mixed with water
and scraps OF bread. potato and meat
from the table, Aftor they had grown
somewhat. a little oath was given
them occasionally. The chicks on the
ground received the same kind OF food,
except that they had In addition a
daily ration OF oarthworms. The fol-
lowing IL a record OF observations on
the lot to which earthworms were fed;

IL died during the following night.
Several others slightly affected.

lot nearly dead from gapes 1t was
removed and ehloroformed. when its
trachea was found to contain cape
worms.
June 20. A third chick OF this lot
was found dead. and on examination
its traehoa was found partly filled with
the worms. A fourth. nearly dead
from the disease, was chloroformed
and II also had worms In the trachea.
Several OF the remainder were at this
date observed To be affected. and prob
ably not single one was entirely free
from the trouble.
June 30. Three more chicks we're so
badly affected that II was decided to
remove and destroy them. All had
cape worms in the traehea.

chicks we're affected and were removed
