Sometimes we wander down to the

Because every one has to first find

him which way to turn, but he has to
follow the road and travel along it
without our help.
And not until he has been In every

know all the roads which lead to 1t.
You see, every one has to have his

TUBERCULOSIS IN CHICKENS
Disease Is Quite Common and Is
Caused by Quarters Being Poorly
Ventilated and Lighted.

Tuberculosis In poultry results in q
loss Of weight. The birds may look
all right for a time, but they will be
found to be light. Mr.. Barton, Of the
North Dakota Agricultural college
states that in the later stages the birds
become weak, often they cannot fly
onto the roosts, but SIT in a corner,
and after a little die. According to
Mr.. Barton, this disease is quite COM
mon, affecting turkeys as well as
chickens. One way to tell if the birds
have tuberculosis is to cut them open
If the bird is light in weight and the
liver is enlarged and spotted it may
be quite safe to say that it has been
suffering from tuberculosis.
He states that small quarters, poor
IL ventilated, poorly lighted. and damp
are conducive to the spread of the dis
ease. The best remedy is to dispose
of all infected birds and if the flock is
badly infected to dispose of all the
birds; then thoroughly clean the
house and yards, disinfect and start
over again with tuberculosis-free
birds. Mr.. Barton recommends a dis
infectant made up in the ratio of one
ounce of creolin and one ounce OF car
bolie acid to one gallon Of water.
