Orono. Me, May 22.-(SpeciaD. The
following was made public today by
Charles D. Woods, director Of the Maine
agricultural experiment station at the
University of Maine:
In a previous article we have described
the prevalence and causes Of the most
common and probably most costly Of
poultry diseases-roup. Is there any
is the best thing for the practical poul-
tryman to do in treating it? The blolo-
gists of the Maine Agricultural Expert
ment Station have had a good deal OF ex-
perence in treating this disease and have
worked out some general principles re-
garding it's control which should be OF
value to every poultryman who has had
or is having trouble Of this sort.
The best treatment of roup is preven-
ton. The disease can be prevented by
stopping all sources of infection. Some
things to keep in mind: In introducing
new birds always procure them from un-
infected focks. Isolate all new birds and
all birds that have been exhibited at
shows for two or three weeks to make
sure that they do not develop the disease.
Exclude from uninfected houses and
yards poultry and all other animals. in
cluding men, coming from those that are
infected. Do not use implements as hoes,
shovels, ETC., that have been used on in
fected premises. Keep the birds in a
good hygienic condition, well nourished
and in dry, well ventilated houses and
roomy yards.
When the disease has been introduced
into the flock careful precautions may
prevent it's spread. Immediately separate
from the flock any bird that shows symp-
toms of the disease. Disinfect the yards
and houses with a per cent. solution OF
carbolic acid or cresol solution. Remove
the litter from the houses and disinfect
freely. This disinfecting solution may
also be followed by whtewash Keep
watch of the flock SO that any new case
may be isolated at once. Burn, or bury
deep all birds that die.
The disease is amenable to treatment,
but this treatment must be individual
and requires a great deal of time. 1t
must be continued once or twice a day for
quite a long time. 1t is, therefore, very
expensive and consequently inpracticable
for ordinary stock. Moreover. birds ap-
parently cured are likely to become the
source of infection for later outbreaks.
In the case of valuable show birds treat
ment may perhaps be advisable.
A method of treatment which gives ex-
cellent results, especially in the early
stages Of roup, Is the use of l to 2 per
cent. of permanganate of potash. Fowls
are treated in the following manner: The
nostrils are pressed together between
thumb and foreinger in the direction of
the beak two or three times. Pressure
should also be applied between nostrils
and eyes in an upward direction. This
massage helps to loosen the discharge in
the nostris and eyes. The birds head is
then plunged into the solution of per-
of potash for 20 to so seconds.
in fact the head may be kept under the

When the leaves start to turn and
the haze of autumn announces the
near approach Of the open season on
deer in Maine, the local undertakers
and coroners brighten up and lay in
a good supply of accessories for dis
posing Of those unfortunates who will
soon be in their hands as a direct re-
suit of trying to stop slug from some
Nimrod's rifle. Guides make their
wills, pay a higher rate of life in
surance, and soon, forsooth, from all
points of the compass the deer hunters
flock to the Businesses of Maine. armed
to the teeth with guns and liquid am
munition, with which they load
themselves promptly on arrival.

yells "Cmon with that Deer Imper-

automatically. Among the most pop
ular methods of inducing someone to
shoot you is the custom of wearing
khaki or tan garments in the deer IN

ones hands and knees looking for

we prefer to let all such articles re-

A good friend of mine was guiding
a convivial party of New York sports
in upper Piscataquis county few
falls ago, and one fine autumn evening
he and another hunter were following
the banks of little stream in hopes
Of getting a shot at deer at sundown.
They stopped in a little clearing, and
Jim spoke to the sport, thinking he
had heard a deer coming up the
stream. The sport had to sneeze. and
reached for his handkerchief to mutfie
the sound. AS the bit of white cloth
went up to his face a rifle crashed
twice. and the first bullet scuffed
finger from the hand that held the
handkerchief, the second bored hole
through Jim's throat. and tore the back
cf his neck away, killing him instantly.
The other hunter had mistaken the
white handkerchief for deer's flag,
and although ordinarily he was unable
to hit a mark the size of the Rock of
Gibraltar at 10 PAGES he had no trouble
in mailing Jim at 20 yards through the
gathering dusk. And since then red
bandanna is considered a popular
handkerchief in that section Of the
woods.

This treatment should be given twice
day and continued until all symptoms
have disappeared.
If there are solid tumors in the eye

skin may bleed freely. The cheesy mat

ing membrane touched with per cent.

AS all these methods Of treatment de-

the more valuable fowls may be treated
in this manner, Farmers and poultry
men should first try the permanganate of
potash method Of treatment as 1t Is tho
easiest to employ. Food remdies influ-
ence roup only by Strengthening the
fowls and assisting nature to throw on
or conquer the disease. The birds which
are being treated should be kept in dry,
warm, we'll ventilated room with good
nourishing food. The drinking water
should be frequently changed.
In the case of diphtheritic roup two
general lines of treatment have been used
with more or less success. O Local
treatment Of the diseased parts with dis
infectants and (2) vaccine and serum
treatments. The cost of application of
either of these makes them at present
economically nadvisable for ordinary
stock.
In the early stages If the disease the
painting of the diphtheritic patches with
tincture Of iodine is sometimes sufficient.
If the false membranes persistently re-
appear, as they are very likely to do.
they may be burned away with 30 to IS
per cent hpdrochloric acid or with silver
nitrate Great care should be taken not
to touch unaffected parts Of the mucous
membrane as such wounds are likely to
be infected and thus become the seat of
fresh patches. After thick false men,
branes are formed it is necessary to re-
move them gently before applying the
disnfectant. After the drastic disin-
fectants have been applied to the LESSONS
the throat, mouth and head passages may
be disinfected with one of the reagents
recommended for catarrh or nasal roup.
The potassium permanganate treatment
outlined above is the easiest to apply.
Regarding the vaccine treatment the
following statement from a book on poui-
try diseases recently published by the
biologists of the Maine Agricultural En-
pertinent Station correctly indicates the
standpoint of the Station. This method
of treatment is not yet on secure scien-
tic basis and it cannot be used in prac-
tice by the poultryman or farmer until
all doubt of it's efficiency is removed and
a reliable vaccine prepared and put on
the market If this is ever accomplished,
treatment with vaccine will be much
cheaper to administer and much more
efficient than the local disinfection OF
