The outward symptoms Of this disease,
which attacks the poults when they are
! from six weeks to four months old. are
| in many ways similar to those of other
diseases, in consequence Of which 1t Is
almost impossible to make q SUCCESS
| full diagnosis. A post mortem, or ex-
animation after death. is necessary in
order to identify the disease. In most
cases the fowls do not eat but seem to
be thirsty; diarrhea, with the excrement
yellow, though often varying IN color
from brown to white, is present. The
comb frequently. but not always. turns
dark, from which condition the disease
gets it's name A post mortem examina-
ton shows the two short blind forks of
the intestines, the SEGA, distended and
packed with yellow cheesehke sub
stance, though in some cases this ma
terial is in the form Of liquid. The
liver is enlarged and covered more or
lesa with spots of various sizes OF a
yelloWish green color.
So much publicity has been given to
this trouble that in too many instances
tributed to blackhead. when. as in the
casa of white diarrhea, the sickness is
due to entirely different causes Occa-
sionally some individuals more observ-
ant than others put the blame Of dis
ease and death upon the effects Of lice
poultrymen, is the feeding at fault Lice
alone will cause the death Of young
poults, but in the case of well grown
fowls we should look further. Under
ordinary conditions, turkeys on range.
If inherently strong and vigorous. will
as a rule keep down the lice by busting.
Therefore, if lice become unusually
numerous, some unfavorable condition,
some weakness or disease may have first
affected the fowl to such an extent that
it failed to protect itself. and many cases
of weakness and subsequent death may
be traced to intestinal parasitic infesta-
ton; round worms and tape worms are
the most troublesome of the intestinal
parasites affecting our domestic fowls
For the treatment of round worms
