HELP IN POULTRY CHOLERA
Important Experiments With Serum
Depend Upon Live Material
Specimens Arrive Dead

Can poultry cholera be prevented
by injecting serum into the diseased
fowls? The serum method of treat
ment prevents cholera in hogs, and if
the case is in its first stages, Wiz
cure 1t But will serum work equally
well in combating the disease when
contracted by fowls? This is what F.
5. Jacoby. of the poultry department
and w. X. Shoulder. Of the veterinary
department of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. are eager to know
OF course they will use a different
kind of serum, suited to the differ
ences between cholera in hogs and In
poultry.
Inability to get diseased fowls TO
operate upon is retarding the pros
ress of experiments now being con
dncted to investigate this question

We built a sheep barn in 1905 1t
Is 60xS0 feet, standing north and
south. The doors are all at the ends.
The feedracks divide the lower floor.
all Of which Is used for the sheep,
into four spaces about twelve feet
wide In the clear There are doors nine
feet wide at each end of each space
to allow driving through with a ma
nure spreader. The end section of
sheep may pass freely to any part of
the barn, writes Lee Colony of John
son county. Ia, In the Breeders Ca
zette. The hay is stored over the cen
trail portion of the barn. The haymow
is 80 feet wide, leaving a space of IS
feet on each side where no hay is
stored. Hay Is taken in at each end of
the barn. Large gates are fastened by
hooks to the posts at the side Of the
NOW. then, In feeding, the gates are
moved little away from the hay
which makes it possible to throw the
hay directly into the racks below all
along each side of the NOV. The hay
tnat Is thrown GOWN the central chute
has to be carried to the ends of the
feed alley.
The feed racks are constructed of
boards IL inches wide placed hori-
zontally. The lower portion is 3 feet
wide and one board high. The next
board is set in 6 inches and raised up
8 or s inches te Leave space for the
sheep to reach the hay. The upper
part is sloped outwardly The feed
troughs are a unique feature, They
are inches wide and . inches deep

boards They are not fastened rigidly
to anything, but are made to raise and
lower Each trough is 20 feet or so
feet long Those on the hayracks are
made right in the line of parts; that
is, the bottom of the trough is cut out
where the post goes through and the
sides of the trough pass up and down
on each side of the post. Then at
each post small rope is fastened to

the trough, then passes over a pulley
up about feet on the post. then
down and once around a three-quarter-
inch gas pipe, and then 15-pound
weight is tied to the end Of the rope.
The gas pipe is one straight line tight
ly screwed together and placed In
brackets so that 1t is free to turn.
There Is a crank on one end of the
pipe The iron weight balances the
weight of the trough so that by turn
ing the crank the trough can be raised
or lowered very easily. Boards II
inches wide are then nailed on each
side of the post, leaving a space of
about ten inches through which the
trough can be raised and lowered. The
inner one of these boards is part OF
the hayrack The grain rs fed first
and Is put in while the trough is up.
AS the sheep cannot get to the feed
while the trough is up, one can take
plenty of time in putting out the feed,
and then place 1t all in reach OF the
sheep In a few moments by lowering
the troughs AS soon as the grain is
eaten, the troughs are raised and the
sheep reach through under the trough
for the hay. The lower part of the
hayrack comes out even with the out
side of the trough. so that the hay
rolls out where the sheep can reach 1t
easily. The troughs along the outside
of the barn are made In the same man
ner except that they are placed be-
tween two upright pieces. They are
just inside the line of posts.
These troughs have been in use for
four years. There is no danger of
catching sheep under them and cho-
king them to death. but after the
sheep become accustomed to being fed
in them there is practically no trou-
BILE.

Combination Metal Nests.

this is certainly not possible. The
only chance of infection is from the
bird itself to the nesting material,
which is of minor consequence. unless
a lousy hen happens to precede a
clean one in occupying the nest.
Metal nests come In several pat
terms. One style is for hanging on
the wall, from which ii can be easily
removed and cleaned. Others are
made in combination as shown in the
Illustration, also in singles and in
pairs and trios. For shipping they
are knocked down; their construction
Is such that no riyets or solder is re-
quired to set them UP ready for use.
Galvanized iron coops have long
been a feature of eastern and Euro
penn shows. and we can see no rea-
son why metal houses will not prove
equally desirable. Where tried,
breeders claim them success.

fear that you forget to turn the flock
from their roosting quarters some
warm day. make one of these auto
matte release doors.
This arrangement is attached to the
outside Of the building ordinarily
where the small drop door is located
This release door should be covered
with half-inch mesh wire netting.
This will show the hens the light, and
they will be induced to reach it. In
so doing they will walk over the false
bottom, the one to which the trigger
wire is attached and her weight will
raise the hook that keeps the door
in place. the door will swing open and
all the flock will be released.

Generally speaking, cheap contrap-
lions are an abomination in the bee
yard, but there are times when some
thing which can be gotten up in a
hurry and at a small cost will be
appreciated.
In preparing such hives, however,
one should see to 1t that spacing is
kept right and nothing but standard
frames should be used. Then when
you get around to it you can simply
transfer your frames to another hive
and nothing viii be lost, writes L. C,
Wheeler in the Michigan Farmer.
The hive body can be made by sim
ply mailing four boards together leav-
ing the ends three-quarters inch low
err than the sides. Then form rab-
bet by mailing on a strip three-quarter
inch wide and three-eights inch thick
on the outer edge of the end boards.

plan is followed, according to Orange
Judd Farmer, for dividing the yard
