ing is practicable only when the mulch
material can be obtained very cheaply.
The cost OF spreading the mulch is
greater than the cost of good cultiya-
ton Any coarse material can be used
for mulch. Old hay or straw, or
even coarse stable litter, can be used IL
free from grain and weed seeds The
mulch should be about four inches
deep. and is best spread just before the
plants appear, the ground having been
first narrowed once or twice after plant
ing. Rather large seed pieces give bet
ter results than small ones where pota-
toes are to re mulched. since they give
the plants tie strength required to
force their way up through the straw.
The seed pieces should be planted two
or three inches deep, and the hills can
be as close together as 1Sx1s inches or
l2x24 inches"

Chicken Pox or sorehead in Poultry

Chicken Pox Sorehead in Poultry.
Chicken pox is said by an AlabaI,a
bulletin TO cause more mortality among
chickens in that State than any other
disease. There appears to be no we'll
marked distinction between chicken
pox, avian dphtheria. and roup, as
these terms are ordinarily used. The
literature relating to the subject is
carefully reviewed. A number Of inoc-
ulation tests were made with organ
isms obtained from cases OF chicken
pox.
The author concludes that the cause
Of the disease is not definitely known.
Some evidence is usually presented to
show that bacillus cacosmus or some
species of bacterium or pseudomonas
may be factors in causing the disease,
but careful experiments failed to con-
meet either one of them with the dis
ease as the primary cause. Chicken
pox may be carried by various insects.
The period of incubation is from two to
twenty days. Chicks from to 8
months of age are most susceptible, and
affected birds may recover in from two
to eight weeks. Mortality varies from
30 to 20 per cent.
The author reports satisfactory re-
suits from the application of iodoform
and fannie or borlc acid upon affected
parts of the throat and eyes. large

used with fair success. A photography
of the subject is given and mention is
