Diseases Of Poultry

Veterinarians know but very little
about diseases of poultry. and with
poultry raisers it is always a propo-
sition of roup. cholera or chicken
mites
The revenues from poultry pro-
ducts, in the aggregate. are so enor-
nous that statistics are looked upon
with suspicion. Much money and
time have been spent in the investi-
CATION of diseases OF larger animals.
and many volumes written. yet in
economic importance they are. in
some instances. comparatively insig-
nificant. The chicken individually
represents small value, and is there
fore neglected; collectively the ami
NAL would pay the public debt
Theer are no other food producing
animals that suffer nearly so large a
loss from disease. The chickens be-
gin dying and are thrown over the
fence as long as they last. and per
haps little red pepper or onions
are added to the feed as medicine.
However. the pOultryman has
learned from dire experience that 1t
pays to keep the hen house and
poultry yard clean. and every poultry
raiser has few receipts for keep
ing away cholera and roup The
normal temperature Of the chicken
is from 5 to 10 degrees higher than
other farm animals, and conse-
puently the diseases ar character
istic and incident only to chickens
and their kind.

OF course the remedies are on a par
with sixteenth century therapeutics
as applied to the larger animals and
man.

has determined to look into this

Moisture control is another factor
that must be considered While the
cabbage will stand considerable
abuse. ii must not be too dry or too
wet in order to make the desired
Yields. II the soil is too dry, the
plants stop growth and form small,
loose heads, and are more subject
TO the attacks OF plant lice. on the
other hand il the soil is saturated
with water. the plants will become
yellow and stop growing. Constant
cultivation to keep the soil we'll
aerated. is probably the most impor-
tant item in the culture of the crop.
Growers who have had no eNper-
ience with this crop usually think
that 1t is an expensive one because
of the necessity of transplanting the
plants in the field. In practice this
is not an expensive item. Where
irrigation is practised so that the
plants may be set and quickly fol-
lowed by water, two men or two boys
are frequently able toset from eight
to twelve thousand plants, or prac-
tically an acre day.
For the late crop, seed should be
sown about the middle of May and
the plants should be ready to set
in from four to six weeks from SOW
ing.
We believe, for the careful grower
who is expecting to get large returns
from the land and who is not too far
distant from shipping facilities. the
cabbage industry in Colorado is one
of the best things that can be taken
up.
