HOW NEW DISEASE
AFFECTS POULTRY
EUROPEAN PEST is KILLING
MILLIONS OF FOWLS IN U. S.
GEORGIA GUARANTEES.

No poultry can come into Georgia
from western states under an embargo
recently put into effect by Peter F.
Bahnsen. state veterinarian. This ban
was ordered to keep Georgia from
the ravages Of a European poultry
plague that is sweeping the west. Ala
bama has also guaranteed against
poultry shipments into that state.
SO far no cases of the plague have
developed in Georgia, and Dr. Balm
sen says with reasonable care Georgia
should be kept free.
Until recently this disease had never
occurred in the United States. The
cause of the disease is found in the
blood and various tissues of the in
fected bird. 1t is a filtrable virus. 1t
was discovered in Italy in 1878 Since
then it has spread over great part
of Europe.
1t is very infectious; runs rapid
course, and has high mortality. The
infected bird has loss of appetite, its
walk is irregular, and the bird be-
comes very stupid; feathers are rufied,
the comb and wattles swell, and be
come dark; the eyelids may be sealed
together with sticky paste-like ex-
udate The nasal passages may be
closed and there may also be an ex-
idate in the wind pipe which pro-
duces difficult breathing.
Some birds occasionally shake their
heads, and at the same time produce
wheeling sound. Sick birds live
from two to five days, and occasion
ally six or seven days Some birds
may be we'll in the morning, and
found dead in the afternoon; or may
be we'll at night and found dead in
the morning. Rapidly progressing cas-
es or very acute cases show no le-
sions after death. Those that live four
or five days show mucous exudates in
the nostrils, larnyx and windpipe, and
blood clots may be found in the air
passages. The lungs may be more or
| less congested or infamed as in pneu-
monia. Blood-sh spots may be found
in the crop, under the skin and in va
rous other parts. Blood spots may be
found in the heart muscles, and in
| the pericardium, or on the surface OF
the small intestines, and the lining
mucosa of the stomach. Sometimes
small blood patches may be found
along the intestinal canal, especially
when the Bird has had diarrhea.
There are no cures for this disease.
Prevention is the only treatment. All
birds that die should be cremated or
burned Houses that are not of much
value should be burned, or thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected.
1t should also be remembered that
there are other fowl diseases that re-
semble this, and many times it has
been reported to have occurred at sew
era points, but on investigation it was
found to be some other disease than
European fowl pest.

A collection of gold coins said to be

OLD INDIAN HERB PROVES
A VALUABLE INDIANA CROP
Utilized in Many Ways and High
Prices Are Paid for Dried Root.

The growing of golden seal is prob
ably the most unusual Of all types OF
Hoosier farming. Late Benham, who
lives near the little town of Benham,
in Ripley county, Ind, is one OF the
largest growers of this medicinal herb
in the middle west. Golden seal IS
sometimes known as yellow root.
In the pioneer days of Indiana the
plant could be found growing wild in
every well-drained woodland. The In
dams and early settler used the roots
of the herb as a remedy for sore
mouth and inhamed eyes and as a
tonic for stomach and liver trouble. In
those days there. was little commercial
demand for the plant
But now there are several CONNER
cial demands for it. In 1860 a market
was established for the roots OF the
plant However, for 20 years after this
the price for golden seal was seldom
more than II cents a pound. The
prices were based on the actual cost
of collecting and curing the roots. In
1890 the approaching scarcity OF the
root was met by rising prices, bring
ing about So cents pound. In 1904
the price jumped to 81.
There has been steaudy advance
in the price OF the dried root, wild and
cultivated, during the last few years
from So to $425, and 90 cents pound
| for the dried leaf and stems.
