WHEN POULTRY IS AILING.
A Short Description of the symptoms
of the Many Diseases of
Hens and Chicks.

When the excrement secreted by the
kidneys, which is normally pure white,
appears yellow, though the droppings
are solid and the bird appears perfectly
healthy, look out for bowel trouble.
When the crop is hard and unyieldins
there is danger of the bird becoming
crop-bound
/ When the discharges are streaked
with blood. it is time to give preventives
for diarrhoea.
When the joints are hot and swollen,
and the fowl is disinclined TO stand,
rheumatism has taken hold.
When the nostrils are clogged with
dirt, and the eyes water, ward off a DOS
slble case of roup by timely treatment.
IL the case is bad, apply the Ratchet and
bury the carcass.
When the bird seems lame. and has a
small swelling on its foot, remove to 2
house with no perches, and oblige il to
roost on bed of straw. Bumble-foot is
easily cured in the early stages if the
cause is at once removed
When a hen seems to drop down be-
hlnd, and goes repeatedly to the nest
without laying, she is usually suffering
from disorder of the oviduct. and
might as well be killed and eaten.
When bird is going light" has
good appetite. but passes food from the
bowels undigested, it is the early stage
OF consumption, and treatment is USE
less.
When the hen seems giddy. and turns
round and round, she is probably suf-
fering from apoplexy.
When the bird has leg weakness. with
no disorder of the liver, feed lighter,
and give plenty of oone-feeding mate
rial.
When new fowls are bought. quaran-
tine them until sure they have no dis
ease.
When fowl has difficulty in breath
ing, look out for pneumonia.
When fowl is dangerously sick with
an organic disease. it is worse than use
less as breeder. 1t is usually safer to
Kill bad case of illness than to try to
cure it.-Farmers' Gazette, Canada

Don't force the chicks on the roost
too soon. This causes the crooked

the faster they grow. You can scarce
