symptoms, the situation usually
becomes more serious, u majority
of the birds being affected and the
whole flock being more or less de
moralized for several weeks.
Sorehead is frequently associated
with roup and canker, and these
complications are most fatal.
CAUSES
The exact nature of the germ
causing the disease and Its rela--
ton to roup and canker with which
it is often complicated are points
Oh which poultry authorities diff
fer.
The important thing, however is
that chickenpox is highly contagi.
GUS and readily spreads from one
bird to another. New birds, or
exhibition stock which Is returned
infected, sometimes Introduces it
into flock. 1t may also be
brought to the premises by pigeons
lying from one yard to another,
by sparrOws or other birds.
Bites of fsas aud mosquitoes
aud punctufes of ticks have been
suggested as producing the dis.
ease, but probably puuctule of
the skin simply furnishes the
gel nus a means of entrance. For
the development of the germs,
moisture is necessary hence the
reason for the disease being more
prevalent in wet weather. Here
you see another gOOu reason for
avoiding damp aud filthy poultry
houses.
When growing chicks are over.
crowded in their coOps or crowd
iltO the corners at hight becoming
over. heated and sweated aud be
lug later chilled when let out into
the cool morning air, they become
very susceptible to sOTehead.
Half the trouble with this disease
among chicks, Can be traced TO
the improper housing or handling
of the birds at night.
SYMPTOMS.
Chicken pOx symptoms are so
we'll defined that they are readily
recognized. The flrst indications
are warty growths, or nOdules, on
the comb, wattles or other un
feathered parts of the head.
There may be no noticeable effect
on the general health at this
stage and sometimes the bird re.
covers in the course Of q couple of
weeks without treatment, the mo
dulles drying up and failing off
Usually however, the disease cOn
tlnues to develop, the eruptions
becoming more numerous, some
times extending to the body or
even in rare cases to the legs. The
eyes may become affected and
closed so that the bird cannot see
to eat. Oanker often forms in the
eye and about the mouth aud
roup very frequently develops in
some form. Proper treatment is
imperative II heavy loss is to be
prevented, for with these bad
complications, chances of recovery
are small
PREVENTION, -
The best preventive Is avoiding
conditions. and circumstances
known to be favorable for intro
ducing chicken p0x into q fock.
Healthy birds like healthy hu.
mans are least liable to contract
disease so keep up your flock
health. See that the housing is
right, the quar- ters clean and sani |
tary, the ration we'll balanced and
the feeding done in q way to en-.
courage activity. nisinfect FIRE. |
qaently and thoroughly with al
good effective dlsinfectsnt. Spray |
the cracks and cruvices of the
houses, purify the utensils and |
sprinkle the disinfectant abou,

house. Road oil or something
similar keeps down the dust or
dirt floor. Theee alone diainfact.
