TUBERCULOSIS IN POULTRY.

Investigation Shows II 10 Important
to Guard Against les Appearance.
tuberculosis in poultry was not re-
ported in the United States until 1900.
Since then it has been found ~ prac
tically all parts OF the country i was
thought until recently that Iowa's poul-
try was quite free from this dreaded
disease. but recent investigations
made by the agricultural extension de-
partment of Iowa State College show
that it Is becoming quite common.
A farm flock affected with tuber-
culosis was found in Wright county.
where over o75 mature birds have
been lost since last September. Other
diseases claimed some, but tubercu-
losis carried off the major part.
Treatment of this disease In chick
ems Is not to be considered. Preven-
ton is better than cure. Proper hous-
ing is the foremost essential in keep
ing the chickens healthy to ward off
tuberculosis. Comfort, cleanliness.
fresh air. ventilation. dryness and
freedom from drafts are some things
to consider.
On the above mentioned farm where
this disease had claimed so many. the
houses were filthy, damp and not SUI
ficiently ventilated In one house no
light was allowed to enter the house
except thru a small door at one end.
There had once been small wiiiii3"
on the south side, but boards had been
nailed over the broken out glass.
Outward symptoms of tuberculosis
in chickens can not be observed In its
early stages. Advanced stages are.
pale comb. sleepiness, ruffled plumage,
emaciated condition. lameness and, in
some cases. diarrhoea.

The plant OF the Kensett Mill and

day by Sheriff Gullickson to satisfy
the old debt was purchased by COM
mittee representing those Of the note
holders who were willing to advance
the money necessary. The plant has
not been able to pay but little more
than tho interest on the mortgage. and
there was no provision being made for
renewal of equipment or machinery.
The price paid was the amount of the
debt with costs OF foreclosure added.
Now that the debt has been lifted and
the burden taken off the individual

has been re-organized. H. E. Gray
