Mix; one pound of epsom salts in a small one tempting w7et mash feed for each hundred leghorns, or one pound for of the heavier each seventy-fiv- e stock, give breeds. For the amount. Put the mash out in long troughs so they can all get ito it and eat it up in a few minutes. If wet mash feed is not being given, the epsom 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 location well re moved from the poultry flock. Then of all the make a thorough clean-u- p and feeding chicken coops houses, equipment. Clean and disinfect all hoppers, and drinking fountains, troughs roosts, dropping boards and other removable equipment. Remove and burn all litter and droppings. Finally, make a strong solution of some good coal tar dip and disinfectant and spray it into every nook and cranny where mosquitos, parasites or disease germs might find a hiding place. If possible, always change clothing and shoes before going from infected fowls to the healthy ones. Give each of the affected fowls to one teaspoonful of from epsom 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 iodine to each of the sores, crust and nodules The disafter removing the scales. infectant should be used full strength, so be careful not to let it get in the eyes. Also apply once each day or d two some reliable remedy. A good puoltry prescription tonic in large doses will be found very beneficial at this time. Careful following out of this treatment should give highly gratifying results if started soon enough. In the fall about the time chicken pox usually appears in your locality. I advise giving all young fowls and in many cases older ones, too, large doses of epsom salts once a week for three or four weeks. Give same amount of epsom salts and in thes ame way as recommended above. I also advise extra precautions in cleaning and disinfecting at this time. All houses and sleeping quarters shoul be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected every week or ten days for some time. The disinfectant should be forced into all the dark corners and hiding places of mosquitos and other insects with a good force pump. I have been using this treatment for preventing chicken pox for several years with excellelnt results. If my chickens do take the disease at all, it is usually in a very mild form. Vaccination with a specially prepared 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 to bed with the chickens? Most certainly not! exclaimed a well knowu radio entertainer in mock indignation. No, indeed, Id never be able to sleep ou those sticks the For more reasons way they do. to sympathize am inclined I than one, with this gentlemans point of view. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that, short of literally going to bed with them, the man who comes nearest to living with his chickens is going to get the greatest profit out of them. He will do so because he knows hi3 flock both individually and collective?. The slightest change in their habits or appearance will immediately attract his attention and if disease threatens he is able to nip it iu the bud long before it reaches the very dangerous point. Of course, not every one can give full time to the care of his fowls, nor is it altogether necessary. There are certain times every day when they must receive attention for feeding and the like. Then, scan each fowl as closely as possible and single out for closer examination any that show (the slightest signs of possible disease. One particularly malignant disease which may crop up at any time, more especially in . the fall of the year, is chicken pox or sorehead. As this disease may be carried by mosquitos, your flock may become infected no matter how careful you have been to keep your own houses, yards and runs .'in a sanitary and healthful condition. A number of eruptions or nodules, varying from the size of a pinhead to thait of a pea or hazelnut, appear on the comb, wattles, eyelids, ear lobes, beak and nostrils and sometimes 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 reddish gray deposits with a shiny surface. They gradually enlarge, becoming dry, In shriveled, uneven and wart-lik- e appearance, while the color changes to yellow', brown or dark brown. As these nodules increase in number and the inflammation extends, large 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 general health is not affected. The nodules seem dry, heal and shrink, the crusts become loose and recovery is rapid. But in malignant cases the eruption is more general, the nodules are large and there is considerable inflammation and thickening of large areas of skin. When the crusts are rubbed off, there will be a watery discharge from the ulcerated surfaces, which effeotive. will later thicken, become thick and yellow and will give off a disagreeable (Copyright 1929 By Dr. odor.
