If there would be more common sense and less doctoring applied to ailing hens, there would bo less spread of contagion, When hens aro kept busy they ar,o as a rule kept healthy. Nip a cold In tho bud, and thcro will bono need for roup cures. Keep the premises In a strict sanitary condition, condi-tion, and you need not worry about cholera. Nearly alt the diseases that affeot poultry aro tho effects of unsanitary unsan-itary surroundings, duo to carlcssness. In general tho treatment of tho common com-mon diseases of fowls Is not so satisfactory satis-factory as preventive measures. Nowhere No-where more than In the poultry business busi-ness does that old adago apply: "An ounce of prevention Is worthVi pound of cure." |
