POULTRY YARD NOTES.

many blood vessels and nerves which
have been traced from the large trunks
under the back bone TO the intestinal
wall.
At n point four inches from the anus,
two blind pouches are given off. in
which there is often found a small
white worm. II these intestinal worms
are found the birds should be given ono
grain thymol each. and EPSON salts at
dosage of one tablespoonful to tho
dozen fowls Dissolve the salts in
water and use the water to moisten
bran or mash and thus feed.
The kidneys are two In number and
are lodged In irregular cavities in the
under surface of the back bone. They
are made up of three lobes or knots
and the entire mass is about ore and
one-half to two inches long At the
anterior point in the male bird We
notice white oval body lodged against
the backbone. which is the repro
ductive organ. In the female az this
point We find the ovary. and extending
from the ovary on the left side long
tube about eighteen or twenty inches
long, called the oviduct The yoik of
the egg is formed In the ovary. and
as ii is fully developed IL is discharged
into the anterior portion o. the oviduct.
Passing down this duct there is formed
around 1t, first. the albumen. next the
membranes and finally. the shell.
Diseased conditions of the ovary and
oviduct are rather common. also rup-
tured membranes. which cause an ac-
emulation of eggs In the abdominal
cavity.
About fifty years ago a Frenchman
made study of the breathing appa-
ratus of the domestic fowl and In
many respects he found II to be more
nearly reptilian than mammalian-that

have come from the reptilian line and
not the mammalian. To illustrate one

its riouth or nasal passage. this passes

+. vides at the upper and anterior part
Of the lungs into two tubes. At thfs
point there is a fiattened part VIII ch is
! the true organ of sound 40 that the
| bird does not make its sound at the
upper part of the neck, hut in the
anterior part of the chest. Again. the
| lungs are small and located at the up
per part of the chest. Through each
/ lung there are three tubes and large

| right angles like the tubes of a pipe
organ This is not all. for some or
these tubes communicate with bladder
| like sacs Thus we find two in the
abdominal cavity and three In tho
| chest cavity. Those In the abdominal
cavity lie by the side of the mass Of
| intestines. The three In the anterior
| chest cavity send prolongations into
| these deIicately walled sacs which ex-
tend into the bones. Even the bones

differs radically from cattle, horses or

In case Of deaths among the poultry
from causes not plainly apparent. an
autopsy should be performed as
soon after death as possible. as in hot
weather the carcass very quickly starts to
decay. which impairs the progress OF tho
work.
Lay the bird on table with its head
from you; pluck the feathers from the
under side of the body. and with a sharp
knife cut through the abdominal wall to
the side Of the breast bone. Carry this
cut forward till you STRIFE the bone. then
make the same kind Of cut on the other

hand and force 1t forward. breaking out

are a pale pink. II they are congested or
