CURE FoR RoUP.

"Please send me a cure for roup in
chickens Mrs. Jennie Sherman,
Dewey County, Okga
Roup Is one Of the hardest Of the
poultry diseases to cure. The cause
Of roup is the bird catching cold or
beng forced TO sleep IN a house with
draughts. We find that the best way
TO cure roup is to FIRST remove the
cause. Fix up the hen house so it
does not have any draughts at all
The next step is TO isolate all infected
or sick birds from the rest Of the
flock The birds should then be
treated with solution Of potassium
permanganate. Enough crystals OF
the potassium permanganate are
placed In the water to render it. a deep
purple color The birs head is then
placed N the solution until the bird
Is caused 70 sneeze violently, causing
the solution to penetrate into the
head II the bird seems to have quite
little fever and a high temperature.
we find it advisable TO give them FIVE
drops Of aconite IN a teaspoonful OF
water twice day until the tempera-
ture is reduced.-H. a. Bittenbender,

Il is quite hard 10 say what is the

We End that more depends upon the

near as experiments viii tell us. the

for 400 chickens John Melliea, Gar,

really cannot go into detail and
give you plans for poultry house
that would accommodate 300 chickens.
Is you mean 300 laying hens, I would
allow at least four square feet Of floor
space for each hen. For young chick
ems we do Not need to allow nearly 50
much room as that, but for breeding
stock and for winter egg production
we find 1t advisable to allow them as
much room as this. II we cut down
the floor space below this it Is de-
cidedly Improbable. In constructing
house Of this kind / would make
house so feet long and 16 feet deep,
shus making FIVE pens 16 feet square.
Each one OF those pens win very read.
ily accommodate SO laying hens.
Experience teaches us that the open
floor house with plenty Of fresh afr
and good ventilation is the type Of
house for Oklahoma conditions.
will send you poultry circular that
gives a little more in detail the con
struction Of the house. The main es-
sentials in the poultry house are
plenty Of light fresh air, ventilation
and dry floors. Draughts cannot be
tolerated in poultry house at all
Ventilation is secured by allowing the
air to pass in the open floor at the
bottom circulating free throughout the
house and then passing out at the
top, giving complete ventilation, re-
moving all odors and foul air without
giving draughts.-H. A. Bittenbender.
