was operated upon for an abscess and
tumor of the stomach. The outlet OF
the stomach had entirely closed up and
the patient could not take food or drink

hospital stated that he could not have
survived many days longer. A part OF
the stomach was cut away, new outlet
formed and the patient, although very
low and weak, is expected to recover
rapidly. Mr. Anderson has been in very
feeble health for year or two.

telephone line at distance. Mr. Nc
Donnell climbed a pole and using bis

time Mr. Weber arrived even the stills

cold, which compels the bird to
breath through the mouth. The
continual passing of air over the
tongne causes it to become dry,
hard, and scaly, especially about
the tip. The best remedy is to re
move the cause, also wet the
tongue two or three times a day

water, equal parts.
BUNDLE Foot.
This is caused by bruises on the
bottom Of the foot, and is often due
to the fowls having to fly from
rather high percllcs and alighting
on hard and uneven surfaces. Re
move the cause by lowering the
perchcs. If the foot is swollen
and the swelling is filled with pus,
it should lie lanccd and the pus
permitted to escape. The wound
should then be washed out with a
2 per cent carbolic-acid solution,
creased with vaseline, and wrapped
with a piece Of cloth.
CHOLERA.
This is a contagious disease
caused by bacteria, and is usually
brought in by the introduction of

sick birds. 1t IS also possible rol
fowls to be infected through
wounds or even by the inhalation
of germs in the form of dust. The

symptoms include great thirst and
the voiding of feCes of which the
part normally white is yellow.
This is not sure indication of the
disease, for the same thing may
occur as the result of other dis
orders. Diarrhea is generally a
prominent symptom, the drOppings
being thin and vOiden frequently,
and in the later stages the yellow
portion may change to green: the
fowl becomes depressed, the feath-
ers become ruf1ed, the comb be-
comes pale or very dark, and the
bird has a poor appetite. Some
times the disease runs rapidly
through a flock, destroying the
greater part of the birds in a week,
or it may assume more chronic
form, extend slowly, and remain
OH the premises for several weeks
or mQnths, Fowls affected with
this disease usually die within
thirty-siX hours. Most so-called
cases of cholera are simply diarrhea.
In most cases medical treatment
for cholera has proved unsatisfac
tory. The best method of combat
ing this disease is to carry out
strict sanitary precautions as re-
CARDS cleanliness and distinction,
and to totally destroy the carcases
of dead birds. Droppings should
be burned or thoroughly disinfeoted

DISEASES OF POULTRY
AND THEIR REMEDIES

1t is not the purpose of this arti-
Gle to 20 into the details of the
various diseases of poultry, but
simply to consider briefly some of
the common ailments and to give
some of the simple remedies. Pre-
yention is better than cure, 50 it
will be better to consider some OF
the more frequent causes OF dis
eases in general. Filth, dampness,
improper ventilation, improper
feeding, and the introduction of
infected birds into the yard may be
mentioned as some of the most
common causes.
Everything about poultry
house should be kept reasonably
clean. AS a rule droppings should
be removed daily for the accumula
ton of eXCrelnent harbors parasites,
contami1lates the air, and breeds
contagion. After the dropping
boards have been cleaned, they
should be sprinkled with road dust,
coal ashes, land pla stcr, or air
Stacked lime to absorb the liquid
excrement. Nests in which straw
or other similar material is used
should be cleaned out and new
straw put in about once every three
or four weeks, or oftcncr il it be
comes damp or dirty.
The quarters should be thor
ougllly white washed at least once
year, late in summer or carly in
the fall. The whiteWash can be
made by Stacking lime in boiling
water then thinning to the proper
consistency for applying. The adj
dition of I ounces of carbolic acid
to each gallon of whitcwash will
increase its disinfecting power.
The runs should be plowcd occa-
sionly in order to bury the accum
lated droppings and also to turn
up fresh soil.
When a disease has become firm
ly established in a flock or a single
bird is badly affected, the free use
of the Ratchet is usually the most
practical method, as it does not pay
to spend two dollars worth of
time i'll curing half-dollar bird
Slight causes. however. can often
be cured with but little trouble.
In nearly every instance it is bet
ter to remove the we'll fowls and
put them by themselves and in the
case Of infectious disease the prem
ises should be thoroughly disinfect-
cd.
APOPLEXY.
This is a disease of the brain
caused by the rupture of one of the
blood vessels The bird is attack
ed suddenly and falls down, APP
parently dead or nearly 50. The
usual cause is too high feeding
but it may be due to some other
prOvOCation, such as sudden fright
violent eXcrtion, or straining i'll
laying eggs. Fowls are sometimes
found dead on the nests or under
the perches. There is usually no
previous warming, and so in most
cases treatment is impossible, as the
bird dies almost Immediately
When, however, the sufferer is still
alive pierce vein Oh the undcrside
of the wing and let it bleed freely
This will reduce the pressure OF
brain and often result in a cure
The bird should then be kept on q
limited diet for some time in ordo1
to reduce the surplus fat, As pre-
Nentlve measures, regulate the diet
and give plenty of exercise.

and may be regarded as minor
kind of apoplexy. The bird shows
giddincss, throwing its head up
ward, backward, or to one side.
That gait is uncertain and staggcr
ing the sufferer often running a
round in a circle. Sometimes the
bird falls to the ground, fluttcring
and making convulsive movements
with the legs. The bird can often
be revived by holding its head un-
der a stream of cold water. After
this keep the bird in a cool and
shady place for some time and reg
ulate the diet
BRONCHITIS.
Bronchitis is a cold accom-
panied by rattle III the throat or
by a cough, and may be caused by
a dampness or cold temperature or
by drafts of air. In the majority
of cases the removal of the causes
and good care will result i'll cure.
Inhalation of steam or vapor from
boiling water has been found bene
fetal. Giving a tcaspoonful of
equal parts of cider vinegar and
water has proven successful in
some cases.
CATARRU
Catarrh is a form of cold that is
quite common among fowls, and
may be caused by dalnpncss, drafts
of air, or exposure to cold. 1t Is
indicated by watery discharge
at the nostrils, which later becomes
more viscid. Remove the cause,
keep the birds fairly warm, and
give them plenty Of easily digestcd
food. The injection of kerosene
into the nostrils is also beneficial.
This may be done with a small
syringe, a medicine dropper, or
small oil can. II Catarrh has be
come confirmed, the nostrils and
throat should be Clcansed with ny
drogen peroxide and equal parts
Of water several times daily, and
the nostrils creased with vaselinc.
DIpHTHERIA.
The marked symptom is the APP
pearance of a diseased growth III
the throat and inside of the mouth,
resembling raised patches of whit
ish or pale-ycllowish skin, which
may invade the entire throat and
mouth, often also appearing like
ulcels or sores on the face, comb,
and about the eyes. Make a swab
of cotton tied on the end of stick
and sWab out the mouth with by
drogcn peroxide. Remove any of
the growths that come away easily.
This disease is very contagious,
and any birds suffering from it
should be removed from the flock
and the premises disenfected.
ROUP, OR CONTAGIOUS CATARRH.
The first symptoms of this dis
ease are similar to those of simple
catarrh, but as the disease advan-
ccs there is often swelling of the
sides of the head and the nostrils
become closed with thick nlucus,
causing the bird to breathe through
the mouth. If the swelling CON
tains pus, it should be opened
with a sharp instrument, the con-
tents removed, and the wound
treated with a mild antisept!c, such
as per cent solution of carbolic
acid. The application of Kerosene
mixed with all equal part of olive
oil has given good results i'll many
cases. When a foul has bad case
of roup, it is usually better to kill
it, unless especially valuable.
