CONTROL OF POULTRY DISEASE
"Bacillary White Diarrhea of Chicks"
by DIR. F. Hare, Poultry PathOlogist

Deaths in early Matched chicks are
occurring, so it might be well to dis
cuss the cause of losses in baby chicks
Chief among these causes is the dis
ease known as bacillary white diar-
rhea, commonly called white diarrhea
by poultrymen. We do not intend to
discuss coccidiosis, aspergilisos, diar-
rhea from over-feeding, chilling, over
heating, and so on, under the name of
bacillary white diarrhea, although
these diseases are frequently called
white diarrhea by poultrymen
The disease bacillary white diarrhea
is caused by specific germ - that
germ and no other can produce the
disease. 1t is characterized by high
mortality. 1t is rapid in its onset and
destructive in its action. 1t usually
attacks baby chicks within the first
week of their life, spreads rapidly
through a flock, and causes losses
ranging as high as 90ft. A majority
of baby chicks will show diarrhea but
a great many of them die without
showing any diarrhea. 1t is very diff
ficult to differentiate this disease
from diseases caused by faulty man
agement, such as feeding too soon,
over-heating, chilling, and SO on.
However, the high losses in the first
week or ten days, and the fact that
the disease spreads through the flock,
indicates bacillary white diarrhea. A
positive diagnosis of the disease can
only be made in the laboratory
Source of Infection-The principal
source of infection is through the egg.
The chick is born with the disease.
Another source of infection is in the
incubator at the time of Matching,
there the disease may spread from in
fected to non-infected chicks. An
other source of infection is in ship
ping boxes, where healthy chicks are
shipped in boxes that have previously
carried diseased chicks. Then, again,
healthy chicks may pick up the dis
ease in a brooder by being brooded
either with chicks that are infected
with the disease or by being brooded
where diseased chicks were previously
brooded without the place first being
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
These are the principal sources of in
fection in baby chicks.
Treatment-There is no treatment
for this disease. AS matter of fact,
treatment would be the wrong thing
to follow. 1t would only tend to pro-
mote the spread of the disease.
Control-The disease may be con-
trolled after it has started in your
flock by dividing the brood into small
groups, thereby limiting the possibil-
tiles of spread, and cleaning and dis
injecting thoroughly. Control meas
ures are based on first determining
the hens that hatch diseased eggs, by
blood tests, and secondly, by guarding
against the spread of the disease
from sick baby chicks to well ones.
Purchase baby chicks that are known
to be free Place them in clean san
itary quarters, and observe carefully
all of the rules for brooding Of baby
chicks.

Like every great commercial commu-

TIL greatest market we possess is
the home market where eight million

wear and use. Meanwhile we are per-

ia the keynote of the Maher Amend
ment. Both the Title and the Text
distinctly affirms the purpose to pro-
hibit the granting Of public money to
institutions and enterprises OF all
kinds-educational, charitable or in
dustrial--that are not publicly owned
and under the exclusive control of
public officials.
ON the other hand, the declared
purpose of Art. VIII is encouragement
and cooperation with private institu-
lions and enterprises which are con-
Quoted in accord with the states pur-
pose and on behalf of the welfare of
the people.
Second: The adoption of the Ma
her Amendment. therefore, would re-
suit in the practical repeal of Art.
VIII and the abrogatiOn of the policy
of state encouragement and coopera-
ton with private institutions and en-
terprises.
Third It follows that all privately
owned schools would be prohibited
from receiving public money from
any source.
Fourth Towns having no high
schools of their own would not be
able to contract with, nor pay tut
tions to, any privately owned or pri-
vately controlled academies-A con-
tract between a town and privately
owned academy does not<create pub
lie ownership. A Joint Committee on
Instruction made up of local school
officials and a number of Academy
trustees and supervised by the State
Commission of Education does not
constitute exclusive public control.
Fifth: The statute providing reg
ular Academy Bids would be auto
matically repealed.
Sixth: The statute providing state
aid for the encouragement of Agri-
culture, Mechanical Arts, of Domes-
tic Science would be automatically
repealed so far as it relates to the
academies but not as relating to the
free high schools.
Seventh Special appropriations for
aid of any college, except University
of Maine, or of any academy would
be prohibited under all conditions or
exigencies. \.
Eighth: There could be no finan-
cial cooperation between the cities
and such private institutions as the
WatervIlle Historical Society.
Ninth: Privately owned and con-
Quoted charitable institutions like
Children's Homes, Orphanages,
Homes for Aged Men and Aged Wo-
men would be prohibited from re-
ceiving aid from the state or any
sub division thereof under any and
all circumstances, except that COM
pensation for actual service rendered
to INDECENT persons might be made
by the state or town to privately
owned and controlled hospitals. in
firmaries and institutions for the
deaf, dumb or blind; but no grant
could be made to these private in
situations in case of loss by fire or
other disaster.
Tenth: The agricultural societies
and the privately conducted fairs es-
tablished to encourage farming and
fruit growing would not be permitted
to receive the state stipend to aid in
the payment of premiums.
