TREATMENT OF R0UP
Exercise Care in Diagnosing All
Suspected Cases.
Drafts, Dampness and Exposure, Are
Conditions That Promote Develop
ment Of Germs-Segregate
All AiIing Fowls.l9

By r. H. NEEDHAM, Kansas Station.)
Roup is germ disease originating
in the poultry flock either through
bringing infected birds In contact with
the others, or by means of bacteria
carried by the wind. The general i'm
preston among almost all poultry
raisers that any affection of the mouth
or breathing organs Of a fowl Is a
form of roup Is incorrect.
Because of the general impression
regarding roup preparations prepared
and manufactured for diseases of the
respiratory organs are classed as roup
remedies. Drafts, dampness and ex-
posture are conditions that promote the
development Of roup germs. They are
factors which tend to reduce the vi
tally and establish infiammatory con-
ditions, enabling germs to gain en-
trance into the system and to thrive,
whereas in good health the effects
might be slight and of short duration,
due to the prompt resistance offered
by well-fortified system.
To effectively combat this disease,
sick fowls must be completely sep
arated and kept at some distance from
the others. Treatment must be regu-
lar and frequent, as often as three
times daily in severe cases. Mucous
plugs, patches and incrustations
should be removed with a toothpick,
splinter or cotton sweb, care being

to prevent heavy wind or rain from
blowing on the fowls.
A ventilated door 10 inches wide

and create a draft to cool the interior.
1t is closed in winter.

catch the droppings of the fowls at

and 2 feet above the ground. The
roosts are level (not one above the

fowls will enjoy the top roosts), IA

time for painting with disinfectant to
kill the mites.
The dropboard can extend along the
west end as shown, and on it are
placed the water dish and nests. The
six nests are made Of light packing
boxes or old crates, and each Is IL
inches square and IL inches high. This
arrangement keeps the water and
nests clean. The nests should be re-
movable like the roosts.
The floor Of the house is made Of a
3-inch layer of rough stone, which is
covered with well-packed dirt and
filed in level with the top of the sill.

MORE EGGS FROM POULTRY DURING WINTER

(By FRANK C. HARE, Clemson Agri-
cultural College.)
There are three important reasons
why the farmers OF our state do not
obtain more eggs from their poultry
during the winter months: ~ The
fowls are kept in unsanitary, mite-in-
tested houses, or roost in the trees ex-
posed to inclement weather. (2)
There is a great percentage of un-
profitable fowls In each fock-roost-
ers, old hens, and young chickens Of
all ages-so there is no incentive to
feed the entire flock for winter eggs.
(3) The fowls are fed mainly on grain
that will make them fat, and not on
the proper food to make the produc-
tive females lay.
1t is simple matter to change these
conditions and have eggs to sell in
winter without materially increasing
the expense of feeding the fowls.
Sanitary House Needed.-First, re-
model your poultry house, If neces-
sary, and make 1t conform to local con-
ditions. If you want to build, erect
house closed tight on the east and
west sides (and also the north side
in winter) and open on the south or
front.
1t need not be an expensive building,
but 1t should be bright and sanitary.
The most suitable location for poul-
try house is near some shade or fruit
trees to protect the fowls from the
heat in summer. Overheating greatly
decreases egg production. The ground
must be dry and preferably of sandy
loan.
Building Detalls.-The poultry house
illustrated will accommodate from 25
to 40 fowls, and is 10 feet long and
8 feet wide, with the studs feet
high in front and feet at the rear.
The open front of the house 40 feet
long) faces the south, so that the sun
