CATARRHAi. COUPS IN FOWLS Simple Cold Prepares Way for Earty Stage* of Roup and Diphtheria—

(By W. F. KIRK. Connecticut Expert-

rrtent Station >

One of the commonest and most frequently occurring dleeoses of poultry la simple catarrh or Just plain cold. This disease appears In a large number of flocks regularly every season. In and of Itself a simple cold does not cause much trouble, but Inasmuch as It prepares a way for the early stage* of roup and diphtheria It especially behoove* the poultrymen to combat colds the moment that they appear. Affected birds usually do some sneering, do not look quite as bright nor have aa good appetites, and what Is perhaps most charset eristic, there Is a thin mucous accretion discharged from the nostril*, or In other words, the birds ■re running at the nose. If the case Is not taken In hand at once this secretion likely will become cheesy or gelatinous, the bird will have to breathe entirely through It* mouth and presently there la a well-developed case of roup to deal with instead of a plain.

-Isn’t H the «»• uiid Tptaiot that story writers could use to start a novel I Here Is the water, the moon, a log. and a man and a girl—all at thrir best. Wouldn’t It Inspire anyone r Jessie .Wilson, the girt, laughed rogulahly at the opportunity she had opened for the man at her aide. “The lake la beautiful, with that moon ray glimmering from away out In the night, and the girl. too. Is beautiful. If ehe will pardon me for saying It; but the man doesn’t seem to fit Into this beauty.” Andrew Parson replied seriously. “How serious you are. If I didn’t know men well I would think you meant that, but yon don't, do youl"

Weak birds that are improperly

clothes that cling to the . .nourished are more likely to contract

colds than stock that Is well fed. A» in the case of mm other disease*, prevention la simpler than cure. One of the chief causes of this condition Is the overcrowding of young, growing chirks In poorly ventilated sleeping

quarter*.

Much trouble can be avoided If fowls are provided with dry. well-' ■ntllated coops, with the accent

a “ventilated.”
