Blue Comb Disease

By BOYD ELLIS

DURING THE PAST two weeks
have had few reports of 'BIue Comb
disease in some of our puIIet fIocks
This is not an unusual situation. We
always hear of a few of these cases
during the late summer and early fall
months This is disease o. unknown
cause which has a variety of designa
tons. 1t has been called avian mono.
cytosis, pullet disease, Bright's disease,
and K. disease, just to mention a few.
Regardless of the name we may wish
to call this disease we know that it can
cause a lot Of trouble if not handled
properly.
A recent report from the University
of New Hampshire gives us some new
ideas on the treatment for Blue Comb
disease. This report is as follows:
Blue Comb is apparently a warm
weather disease that usually shows up.
in summer and early fall. The majority
of cases occur in birds between the
ages of five ana seven months, although
the disease has been reported in chicks
four weeks old and in 2-year-old layers.
The disease often follows no set pat
tern, yet in its typical form a large
of an apparently healthy
flock suddenly shows an abrupt de-
crease in feed consumption. The birds
appear to be depressed and may show
a watery diarrhea. Affected birds make
no attempt to move about, and may
be picked up easily. Laying hocks UNI

The mortality ranges from SO per cent

treatment for this condition is relatively

ponse of Blue Comb disease to antibi-
tics is quite spectacular.

Debating q nominee to o

over, is risky business politi-
cally. as the voters don't like

are supposed to do the rlonai-

hrazenly tell the convention
to give him the nomination.
He refrains from any appear

that Mr.. Eisenhower viii hand

With all the talk In this

no better solution Of the whole
problem Of succession win be
found than in the principle of
joint responsibility Of the Leg
islative and Executive branches
Of the Government In choosing
the leader and submitting the
choice to the people instantly
in an election. The principle,
imbedded In the British par
hamentary system, long has
been advocated by this writer.
It was once championed by
Woodrow Wilson. It affords
