Moulds Fatal To Poultry.
BY n. L. KEMPsTER.

Mouldy litter In poultry house
and mouldy feed are the osus'
OF q large number of death
among poultry and particularly
among chicks. These mouldl
taken into the body Of the fow
cause . disease known as Asper.
gillosis. The disease is as fata
he the name sounds. Our scien-
lists have neglected 10 ind 8
shorter nsme for the disease, baI
among poultry men chicks affec.
ted with the trouble are common
y spoken OF as ''lungers". Many
times the disease is mistaken for
white diarrhsa. The Missouri
College Of Agriculture, in It's in.
vsstigation of poultry diseases.
notes the following characters.
tic symptoms: The chick stands
around ia q drowsy manner and
shows little desire to eat. The
wings hang down, the breath is
rapid and q white diarrhea is
present,
An affected chick will be found
to have soft, yellow growths from
the sise OF q pea, mainly in the
lungs, but sometimes in the in.
testines and mesentery. These
growths, digging the air pas
sages OF the lungs. are directly
responsible for the death OF affec-
ted birds.
In mature fowls there are two
forms Of the disease. The mu-
cous membrane lining the air.
sacs and tubes may be covered
with Q membranous formation
which is soft and yellowish and
has an offensive odor, or the post
mortem will reveal white or vel.

tissues of the lungs.
Early symptoms are that the
bird is inactive, sleepy and IL
forced to run, will fall from ex-
haustionj breathing is rapid, ap.
petite is diminished and more or
less catarrh is present,
There is no cure for the trouble,
but since it is caused by eating
monldy feed or BY being permit
ted access to mouldy litter, it can
be entirely prevented by not COM
peiling fowls to eat mouldy food
and by keeping them away from
mouldy litter.
This is just one Of the many
troubles that can be en-.
tirely avoided by feeding nothing
but fresh, clean feed and keep
ing the pens and yards free frc m
filth and Tuoulds,

A Fruitful Year.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks. publisher Of

one. "While at present. the ag.
ricultural districts are somewhat
pinched for rain, do not believe
This condition will last long," he
ssid. | anticipate that the COM
ing month will bring even more
Rim than we may need.
y wide agricultural areas, no
doubt may feel the passing Of
the 'fringes' of the protracted
dropth periods which have dcne
80 much damage in recent years,
but l believe the agricuiturists
generally need feel no alarm over
the prospects Of the season in
general.
sit is not surprising that nn-
is felt in the farming
districts over the possibility Of a
recurrence of drouth conditions,
becsuse in the last few years they
haSa spread terror through the
hearts OF the man of the soil.
There has in the lost few years
been more than normal lack OF
