A covered coop or yard is advisable

POLLUTION CAUSE OF DISEASE
Too Many Fowls Kept on One EnelO-
sure for Year Without Change Of
Ground-Should Be Divided.

Nearly every poultry raiser keeps
too many fowls in a limited area OF
ground. It is a common circumstance
to hear Of some person having good
success with poultry for a few years,
when all at once things begin to go
wrong and the person loses faith in
the industry. Chickens die by the
dozens, and those that remain alive
fail to yield a profit. The cause of
all the trouble seems to be hidden, yet
1t is not far to find, right in the
ground Of the poultry yard.
Fifty or a hundred or more chicks
or any other domestic animals, kept
in one enclosure for a year without
change, will pollute their surround.
ings. This is true even with healthy
fowls, and where disease breaks out
It is much more true. The pollution
extends, as a rule, not only to the
grounds, but to the poultry house as
well. It Is often impossible or diff.
ficult to purify the house. The result
is that poison or disease become deep
seated in the surroundings and strin-
gent methods must be resorted to in
order to eradicate them.
It is easy, or at least possible, to
clean and purify almost any poultry
house and make 1t At for continued
habitation of fowls without hav.
ing to change them to other
quarters. 1t is not so easy with
yards and grounds. The poison is 30
deeply absorbed by them that It re
Quires months to remove 1t.
The immediate grounds around q
poultry house receive the, most pollu-
ton. The grounds further away re-
ceive less. For this reason, the
grounds Immediately adjacent to the
poultry house should be divided by
fence into at least two parts and each
part cultivated in some crop every
alternate year, with all poultry kept
from 1t during the season Of cultiva-
ton. This will allow much Of dis
ease and other pests to die out for
want 81 anything to'feed on. and much
of pollution and poison will be con.
Bumed through physical and chemical
action in the soil. II the ground is
plowed deeply some Of them will be
buried so deeply that they will never
come to light. Cultivation, aeration
and the growth of plants in the soil
all have a general tendency to soil
publication from the point Of view Of
animal sanitation.
Poultry grounds on the average
farm where there IL an abundance Of
free range can be kept comparatively
fresh by always feeding the fowls
away from the poultry house. They

no inducements are placed at or near
the house. Then they win use the
house only for roosting and laying
purposes and the natural. daily polIu-
ton win be carried far away.
