Fowl cholera-a poultry disease
rather rare In this country except In
the far western States--demands fire.
department speed In combating 1t.
Drug treatment or home remedies only
waste the time of the poultryman and
allow the malady to spread. Strict
sanitary measures must be applied ut
once to control this infectious disease
Of poultry which spreads rapidly
through the flock with high mortality.
Turkeys, ducks, geese, pigeons, cage
birds and chickens are all susceptible
to fowl cholera.
Cholera Is transmitted from flock to
flock by means of sick or recently re-
covered fowl which have been placed
in the flock without being subjected to
a period of quarantine. The disease Is
also spread by wild birds or by per-
sons, animals, or utensils which have
been on infected premises. A yellow
fish coloration of the droppings Is an
early indication of the disease. Soon
dlarrhea develops, considerable fever
is shown, and the bird loses Its lively
appearance, separates itself from the
rest of the flock and appears dull, de-
jected, and sleepy. 1t no longer
searches for food, but sits with head
drawn down to the body or turned
backward and resting In the feathers
about the wing. The plumage soon
loses It's brilliance, the wings droop.
the appetite Is diminished and the
thirst increased; the comb and wattles
may be dark blush red from en-
gorgement with poorly oxygenated
blood, or they may be pale and blood
less on account Of the congestion Of
the internal organs, especially the
liver.
Symptoms Of Stricken Birds.
The affected birds soon become very
weak, drowsy, and often sleep so
soundly during the last day or two Of
their lives that 1t Is difficult to arouse
them. If obliged to move they stagger
forward for a few steps in an uncer-
tain manner and with dragging wings.
The crop Is generally distended with
food and apparently paralyzed. The
weight and strength of the bird rapidly
diminishes, 1t breathes with difficulty,
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1919-08-15

sits with beak open. and the breathing
may be heard at some distance.
Finally the weakness Is such that
the beak Is rested on the ground, and
little later the bird dies. In very
acute cases no symptoms are seen;
the birds may be found dend under
the roosts or they may fall at the feed
ing trough and die In few minutes.
Cholera may destroy the greater part
of flock In n week and then dis
appear, or may llnger for months, only
occasionally killing a bird. The time
between exposure to the contaglon
and appearance Of symptoms Is from
two to five days, while the duration
of the disease Is from "a hours to 10
days. Most characteristic. changes seen
after death are red spots on the sur
face OF the heart, which give 1t the
appearance of having been sprinkled
with blood, congestion OF the intes-
tines, enlargement of the liver, and
swelling Of the spleen.
Stopping Infectlon's Spread.
Since treatment of the affected birds
Is almost futile, the aim should be to
prevent so far as possible the spread
of infection. The first fowls showing
acute feverish symptoms should be de-
stroyed by method guarding against
contamination OF the premises by In
fected blood. The carcasses should be
burned or deeply buried. The healthy
fowls should be moved to new quar-
ters, II possible, and carefully watched
for signs of disease. Houses and runs
should be thoroughly cleaned fire.
quently and disinfected with per
cent solution of carbolic acid, 2 per
cent solution Of compound cresoL or
reliable coal tar disinfectant In
proper dilution. The drinking water
may be made antlseptic by addIngyone
dram of permanganate Of potash to
each gallon. This serves to prevent
the spread of disease through the
water and also is a convenient means
of administering an internal antisep-
tic. Prevention and treatment to con-
troll fowl cholera by means of anti
serum and vaccine have not proved
sufficiently satisfactory to warrant
recommendation Of the use Of such
preparations.

Organizations Urged to Prevent Care

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
II egg producers would work togeth-
er to reduce egg losses much of the
$45.O00.0O0 toll which results annually
from careless handling could be elimi-
mated. Egg circles, the name given
to associations Of egg producers, have
been urged by the United States de-
partment Of agriculture for number
of years. The work which these or
CARNATIONS can do now to save food
Is of the utmost Importance.
Egg circles watch the egg crop, not
only In its handling, but In Its produc-
ton. They strive to prevent the care
lessness which permits mongrel stock,
dirty nests, stolen nests Of broody
hens, unconflned males, late-maturlng
pullets, and other undesirable condl-
lions to exist on egg farms. Every eff.
fort Is made to reduce the high per-
centage of small, cracked, dirty, stale,
heated and rotten eggs. Many market
ing problems are also overcome.
One very successful organization Of
egg producers has a large incubator
house OF $4,000 egg capacity where
early chicks are produced for the MEM
bers at low cost. This Is done In or
der to obtain early maturing pullets,
thus securing eggs during the fall
when eggs usually are scarce. The
company also has a receiving room for
eggs where they are candled, sorted
to weieht-about "a ounces to the

A new method of curing hay eco

made possible by the use of hay trucks,
which are simple, cheaply constructed
labor-saving devices similar to ordl-
nary hay racks. A hay truck consists
of q frame. mounted on two low wheels.
A number Of them are placed about
the field, and are used to stack the
partly cured hay on. The hay is thus.
protected from moisture in the ground,
and canvas cover prevents injury

Of army worms In the past 80

The army worm feeds by pref

and cultivated; next, upon the

which suffer severely in out

stages, corn, oats, and rye seem
to be preferred in the order

tecting bound grain from the rain I'M
til 1t is ready to be thrashed and for
hauling to the silo, etc.
It is estimated that truck and the
necessary canvas % feet by IA feet)
costs about $40.
How the Truck Is Made.
A nay truck II feet long by z feet
vide will hold about 1900 to 1000
pounds of cured hay. 1t consists OF
a rack which rests on an A-shaped
frame. At the rear, the frame is sup
ported by two 10 to 20 inch wheels
placed about 4 feet from the end.
The front is supported by 9 by S-inch
wooden block Of sufficient length to
hold the truck level. This Is known as
Me trigger, and Is fastened by heavy
bolt between the two main frame TIM
beers near where they come together.
Upright standards arr placed ut each
end of the frame In an A-shaped posi-
ton. At the top Of each standard
notch Is cut to receive by Inch
ridge pole that supports the canvas
covering and keeps 1t from lying fiat
on the hay, thus permitting the air to
circulate freely at the top. The truck
Is moved by means Of 2-horse team
and q 2-wheel running gear, similar to
the front running gears of low-wheel-
ed wagon. This gear Is attached
to the front end of the truck by means
of q long clevis pin, and when the
team starts the forward movement
causes the trigger to trip and drag
on the ground, the weight Of the load
being thus shifted to the running
gears. Upon reaching the barn or
baling machine the team Is backed a
step or two, which causes the trigger
to assume an upright position and
again support the front end Of the
load.
