crusts are rubbed off there will be a
watery discharge from the liberated
surfaces, which will later thicken,
become thick and yellow and will
give off a disagreeable odor. In this
type of the disease there is fever,
rapid loss of flesh, prostration and
death.
At the very first sign of this dis
ease give the whole flock large doses
of epson salts, once each week for
two or three weeks at least. Mix
one pound of epson salts in small
tempting wet mash feed for each
one hundred leghorns, or one pound
for each rs of the heavier breeds.
For half-grown stock give one-half
the amount. Put the mash out in
long troughs so they can all get to it
and eat is up in a few minutes. If
wet mash feed is not being given,
the epson salts can be put in the
drinking water, but in a wet mash
it is much more effective. Remove
all affected fowls to a separate loca-
tion well removed from the poultry
flock. Then make thorough clean
up of all houses, coops and feeding
equipment.
Clean and disinfect all hoppers,
troughs and drinking fountains,
roosts, dropping boards and other
removable equipment. Remove and
burn all litter and droppings. Final
ly, make strong solution of some
good coal tar dip and disinfectant
ond IL into IannIy nnn
Granny where mosquitoes, parasites
or disease germs might find hiding
place. If possible, always change
clothing and shoes before going from
infected fowls to healthy ones.
Give each of the affected fowls
from one-half to one teaspoonful of
epson salts and repeat the dose two
or three days later if there is no
improvement. A local application
is also very healthful with a small
swab or feather, apply a good dip
and disinfectant or tincture of 10
dine to each of the sores, crust and
after removing the scales.
The disinfectant should he used full
strength, so be careful not to let it
get in the eyes. Also apply once
each day or two some reliable sore
head remedy. A good poultry pre-
scription tonic in large doses will be
found very beneficial at this time.
Careful following out Of this treat
ment should give highly gratifying
results if started soon enough.
In the fall about the time chicken
pox usually appears in your locality,
1 advise giving all young fowls and
in many cases older ones too, large
doses of epson salts once a week
for three or four weeks. Give same
amount of EPSON salts and in the
same way as recommended above. 1
also advise extra precautions in
and disinfecting at this
time. All houses and sleeping quar-
ters should be thoroughly cleaned
and disinfected every week or ten
days for some time. The disinfect-
ant should be forced into all dark
corners and hiding places of mos
quitos and other insects with a good
force pump. 1 have been using this
treatment for preventing chicken
pox for several years with excellent
results. If my chickens do take the
disease at all, it is usually in
very mild form.
Vaccination with a specially pre-
pared vaccine is being used with
varying results in some localities.
The question is whether the disease
is serious enough to justify the
trouble and expense even if it was
effective.

Union
(Near Lincoln)

Those children who reside in both
Union and Webb's district which is
now part of the ElTendale School
district, observed Memorial Day in
a pleasant manner. They decor
ated the school bus with flags and
flowers and proceeded to visit the
old school building, which is now
owned by the Glendale Fire De-
partment. From there they return
ed to the new modern school build
ing, where they finished their work
with a feast of ice cream and cake.
The day was very warm, so the
driver took the party to the Lake
view landing of the lake, where the
children donned bathing suits and
enjoyed their first swim of the sea-
son. 1t was a very happy ending
of pleasant day for those who par
ticipated.

"Go to bed with the chickens

reasons than one, am inclined 10

noint of view. Nevertheless, l hrm-
1y believe that, short of literally
going to bed with them, the man
who comes nearest to living WIN

greatest profit out Of them. He VIII

The slightest change in their haDlts

gle out for closer examination any
that show the slightest signs OF pos

ignant disease which may crop up
at AM .e, more especially in the
-. year, is chicken pox or
sorehead. AS this disease may be
carried by mosquitoes, your nocK
may become infected no matter how
careful you have been to keep your
own houses, yards and runs in
sanitary, healthful condition.
A number of eruptions or nodules,
varying from the size of pinhead
to that lof a pea or hazelnut, appear
on the comb, wattles, eyellds, ear
lobes, beak and nostrils and some
times on, other parts of the body,
such as the neck, legs, under the
wings, on, the rump and about the
vent. On the body the nodules may
become larger than on the head. The
nodules begin as small, red or red
dish gray deposits with shiny sur
face. They gradually enlarge, becom-
ing dry, shriveled, uneven and Wart-
like in appearance, while the color
changes to yellow, brown or dark
brown. AS these nodules increase
in number and the Inflammation
extends, largo areas of the skin will
become thickened and covered with
hard, dry crusts, closing the nasal
openings and eyelids, often making
it difficult to open the beak.
If the attack is mild the eruptions
are limited to the head, the nodules
are distinct and small and the gen
eral health is not affected. The
nodules seem dry, heal and shrink,
the crusts become loose and recov-
cry is rapid. But in malignant cases
the eruption is more general, the
nodules are large and there is con-
siderable Inflammation and thicken-
ing of large areas of skin. When the
