to harbor the disease and they become n
constant source of infection. These birds
are called "chronirs" They spread the

SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE
There may be no prominent symptoms
Of white diarrhoea, except weakness and
lack of vitality, # death occuro within a
few days after the chicks are Matched
When the disease hecomes pronounced
the victims soon bee ne istless, sleepy
and sometimes Grcop their wings. If they
are incubator chicks, they will hudde
together under the hover. if they are
with mother hen. they want to be
brooded most OF the time. They lose APP
petite and do not eat much.
In severe cases the chicks stand around
with eyes closed. They become indffer
ent to everything around them except
that many will chirp constantly as if cold
or in distress. Frequently. when chicks
try to void excrement. they will utter a
shril, painful twitter, the breathing is
la bored, and they gasp for breath.
In such cases the discharge from the
vent may be slight or abundant in color
white or creamy, and sometimes mixed
with brown. This discharge frequently
sticks to the down and may even stop up
the vent. During this stage of the dis
eage, the chick may die suddenly even
while apparently still strong. But II the
disease Is prolonged, the victims gradual

succumb. With few exceptions. the deat II

CHILD'S DREAM OF DEATH
ScIdon, Trenches Fifth Year without
Having Consciousness of Mystery.

Whether ii pleases us or not, we must
recognize that II is well-nigh impossible
for n child To reach his fifth year without
having death thrust upon his thought.
If you attempt to make It otherwise for
your child, You must first of all strip his
bookcase OF most of the standard fairy
tales and nursery stories The heroes
STAY their enemie1. and foxes and iackals
meet their tragic deaths If YOU are
going to bar the thought Of death from
the little child, you must rob him of his
living rla y,nates for tho pussies and dog
gies and goldfishes will die In spite of
your beautiful theory. Much less can
you control the accidental fall Of n wild
bird to its death upon your lawn. Your
child may como running to the house with
the motionlcss. feathcred form In his
hand, and with the query mother, why
doesn't the bird fly awav?" You must
either evadc the question or answer It
with the truth.
To many young children. knowledge
of death comes with great shock. Per-
chance playmate Is taken: or even a
brother or sister goes. It may be the
father or mother. You would give all
you have, and more. to shield your child
vision: but this cannot he. Death has
walked unlimited at an hour of his own
choosing into your home, and your chill
dren could not escape the knowledge of
his presence.
What thoughts of death do we most
care to have our children thinking? Shall
we create sympathetic atmosphere and
encourage our children to question about
death, or shall we shun the subject? If
we allow our children to see our dead,
will the physical state repel and make
them afraid? or can we help them to
spiritualize their conceptions Of death
Shall we definitely study how we may
best teach our children of death as we
study how best to teach them about the
birds and flowers? Or shall we leave
them to struggle with the mystery alone?

AS a mere matter Of successful incuba-
ton and for maintaining the vigor of the
resulting chicks, this is the key to the
whole situation in the control of white
diarrhoea. For the prevention or eimina-
ton of this disease, eggs used for incuba-
tion must be produced from sound. unn-
fected stock This means more careful
selection Of breeding hens. If this pre-
caution is not taken, white diarrhoea may
become So FIRMLY established in the flock
and its surroundings as TO render all fu.
ture efforts to control the disease of lit
tie or no avail.
Every preCaution should also be taken
to protect breeding stock from infection.
They should lie kept in clean houses and
yards; they should receive wholesome
food and the best of care and manage
mcnt. BY no means should they be per-
nitted to come in contact with infected
chicks
Unless one is absolutely certain as to
the condition Of the hens used for the
production OF Matching eggs. the latter
should be dsnfected before they are in
Cubated There are two effective means
of disinfecting eggs:
/. Strong rnethylated spirit can be used
for rapidly wiping the eggs They should
be carefully and quickly dried after this
treatment before being put in the incu-
bator or under a hen

solution OF creolin and water. They may

after being dipped.
Both of these methods have proved eff.
fective and neither form of treatment APP

the inside Of the machine every time it Is
used and before the eggs are placed there

The feeding Of sour milk to chicks ape
pears to he an easy means of controlling
white dlarrhoea. The purpose of sour
milk is to suppress Intestinal putrefaction
which the parasite of this disease sets up.
MILK contains a quantity Of sugar which
is acted upon by certain fermentation
organisms. These bacteria counteract the
parasite Of white darrhoea. The feeding
Of sour milk is an important agent in les
SEEMING the dangers Of great losses from
this disease.
On account Of the raVages Of white
diarrhoea, especially during the first few
days of the life of baby chicks. il is i'm
portart to begin feeding sour milk early
where the presence of this disease Is sus-
pected. Moreover. sour milk should be
constantly kept before the chicks until
the dangerous period of the disease has
passed
\ poultry expert in Great Britain has
used catechu to prevent white diarrhoea.
Ten to Is grains of crude catechu were
dissolved In one gallon Of water. This
was given to the chicks as drinking wa.
ter. They drank l. Greedy and made

mcnt Is given usually for 10 days. II these
precautions are taken by poultry keep
ers. there is little reason to dread the
