WINTER POULTRY ILLS.
Methods Of Treatment Recommended
For catarrh and Liver Congestion.

Methods Of Treatment Recommended
For catarrh and Liver Congestion.
One Of the commonest Of the winter
diseases Of poultry is catarrh. Cold,
some people call it.; others speak Of It
as roup. It is not this last, although
so close is the resemblance at times
that one could easily be misled. Any
way, catarrh Is serious enough. It is
catching also. Among birds roosting
with heads pressed closely together
the sick ones are U r to give it to
healthy fowls. It seems to follow
along the line Of pure breeds. This
may be due to the fact that the penned
breeding stock from which eggs and
breeders have been bought has been
housed too warmly and pampered and
that somehow a predisposition to take
on catarrh follows down through the
generations.
You will first notice it by a peculiar
shake of the head, next a running at
the n~ostrils and sometimes gurgling in
the throat. If you cannot master this
phase of the disease in young fowls in
a few days, better kill them. The
sniffy nosed should be separated from
the we'll. housed by themselves, fed
heavily on rich foods, with arsenite Of
anthony Or quinine in drinking water
and mash. The head should occasion
ally be dipped in kerosene-half water,
half kerosene. Two applications have
been known to stop the nostril dis
charge. Get arsenite tablets one one
thousandth of a grain in strength and
place twelve Of these in one pint Of
water. If you give quinine give two
grains to the fowl per day. This dis
ease is decidedly dangerous among the
young fowls, so many die with inflam-
nation Of the lungs, which seems to
follow the catarrh.
The above disease is likely to take
Hold of the young in the cool days of
fall. extending to the older fowls in
winter. There is one winter disease
Of fowls u year old or over that Is
seldom known among the young-liver
congestion. It is probably due to a
rich ration, like corn and lack of suf-
fcient grit. If one feeds sufficient
bran with corn, as bran is a laxative,
the danger may be averted, though the
grit be missing.
Quite often one will not guess this
trouble until the older, fatter hens
begin dying. The remedy is varied
food, grit and exercise.-Farm and

Workino Soils When Wet.

Soils should not be worked when
they are wet. This is especially true
Of those which do not have much Or
ganic matter. Clay soil makes a good
brick because it is free from organic
matter. Working some soils when
they are too wet and allowing them to
bake in the sun really makes brick Of
the parts turned up. and those parts
will be about as productive as bricks
would be.-Farm Progress.

West Florida is making noticeable
progress educationally, or at least SO
much of it as has been visited by
George NJ. Lynch, state supervisor of
rural schools, who has just come to
Pensacola from a week spent in visit
ing the schools of Santa Rosa county
and where he found the school condi-
tons in a surprisingly hourishing con-
dition, he says.
Throughout the state the school
conditions are being improved" said
Mr.. zach to a Journal representative
yesterday, but nowhere is the i'm
provement noted any more than it is
in Santa Rosa county. Under the able
direction of County Superintendent
Diamond the schools have been bene-
flied. longer terms have been given
and new schools have been organized
where they were needed. In six years
the term of school has been heightened
from four to six months and eight
sub-school districts have been made
which allows the maximum taxation
for school purposes
Mr.. Lynch was impressed with the
interest the school children of Santa
Rosa county take in reading the daily
press. In all of the rural schools
find the daily Journal kept on file and
superintendent Diamond encoura ges
the pupils to read it every day, which
they do with profit The clean daily
newspaper, Mr.. Lynch thinks, has a
marked influence for good when read
by school children. In supplying the
Journal for the children of the rural
schools Mr.. Mayes is doing a lasting
