Roup, a disease that attacks chickens
with deadly effect and brings immense
annual losses to the poultry raisers of
the State is being thoroughly investi-
gated by the scientists at the Univer
sity of California in the hope that it
may be conquered. 1t is a disease that
has long resisted the attacks of the
scientific men, but it is likely to be
overcome if dealt with systematically
"A campaign has already been lauched
by Professor A. r. Ward, professor of

treat all the affected chickens differ

perience and various sources. Out of
a large number of these treatments it

tered to $50 chickens while at Petaluma
and found that the most success was
obtained by injecting kerosene into
their nostrils. 1t is by no means GER
tain, however, that kerosene reaches
the disease, and 1t will be long time
before its efficacy, if there is any at all,
is determined.
Roup manifests itself by swelling of
the heads of the fowls. 1t is supposed
that it is caused by colds. due to i'm
properly ventilated chicken houses.
Science has not determined whether it
is contagious disease, and this Will
be one of the aims of the investigation
