POULTRY A Study of racte'ial Diseases of Chickens, Diagnosing Tuberculosis, Cholera, Typhoid anal White Diarrhoea el N'owl—How to Keep These Tame Utes Frgm Spreading-.-.liltdiieal 'IA.0 tnhont Suggested. Department o1 n Ontario De arts o (Contributed by u Agriculturee,, P Torontt o.) VBE1RCV.LOSIS--Judging by the number of tubercular T t 7 s0it totso for birds ()inan- imation 11'0711 different team we conclude that tuberculosis of do- mestic poultry is widely sPread in Ontario. In" live fowl it is difficult to detect the disease in its surly etagere As the disodse ad'vancee; however, the following symptoms are liable to develop. 1, Emaciation Notwithstanding the fact that the affected bird's appe- tite keeps good, the bird will fre- quently got thin until eventually It becomes little more thin skin and bone. This symptom, however, sloes not always occur; some birds will remain fat even 'n the, advanced stages of the disease, but such birds will be very mopy and inactive. 2. Paleness, — The unfeathel•ed parts of the head, around eyes and mouth, the comb and wattles, become pale and dull, and though the eyes bright and clear they remain r g lack life and fire and are often closed. The feathers become dry and lack the lustre of health. 8. Listlessness.—Affected b 1 r ds gradually lose their vigor and become listless and inactive, being inclined to mope around and fie down when not feeding. 4. Lameness.—When the disease attacks the bones.and joints lameness occurs. 5. Egg laying is frequently reduc- ed to a minimum. After death if the bird is opened up tubercles will be found which ap- year as white or cream colored spots or lumps on liver, spleen, intestines, and may also occur in lungs, bones and other tissues. These tubercles are masses of dead tissue which have been produced by the action of the poison given off by the tubercle bac- terium which gets lodged in the tis- sue wherever a tubercle develops.' The droppings from affected birds have large numbers of these tubercle bacteria in them so that'healthy birds scratching and feeding with tuber- cular birds soon contract the disease froin these contaminated droppings. When once the disease gets estab- lished in a flock it Is difficult to'era- dicate except by the most drastic measures. The quickest and most ef- fective method is to kill off all dis- eased birds 'and those -that have asso- ciated with them and then thoroughly clean up and disinfect the premises and start again with new healthy stock. ' Fowl Cholera.—Generally the first symptoms of this disease is diarrhoea in which the droppings will be 'thin and bright yellow mixed with bright. green. The feathers get roughened or stand on end, the wings droop, the head is drawn down towards the body. The bird rapidly becomes weak and drowsy. The crople• usually dis- tended with food and apparently Paralysed, The bird becomes very thirsty. In acute cases of the disease the bird dies In from- one to two - days; in other cases death does not occur for a week or so. Examination 'of the dead bird shows inflammation of the digestive organs, kidneys and mesenteries. Hemorrhages are found in the Heart; blood vessels of the liver are con- gested. The ureters appear yellow from the yellow -colored urates which they -contain. The disease is mostly spread hyy importation of affected birds, blyda returning from poultry shows, etc. Occapionally'a spontaneous outbreak Will occur where no new birds are introduced to a flock: In such cases it Is considered .that the causal or- ganism was present in the intestines of an apparently healthy bird that was resistant to the disease but that other bird`s in the flock not being re- sistant picked up the genie from the droppings of the affected bird and thus contracted the disease. Every bird showing marked symp- toms of the disease should be killed at once and burned, care being taken that none of the blood gets scattered around as the bacteria that cause the disease will be numerous in the blood. Fowl Typhoid.—Thin disease is of- ten confused with Lewd cholera which it somewhat resembles. Diarrhoea, however, in this disease is .very rare. The head of the bird becomes pale, there is a rise in temperature of about three degrees, the bird becomes drowsy and weak and usually dies in from two to ten days, Occasionally a recovery le made, Post mortem examination shows liver enlarged and congested and sprinkled with small gray spots; -in- testines pale, contents normal in con-, siatency; heart pale with red spots; lungs normal; blood pale. This disease is considered to be a filth disease. Prevention Is the only knovreftreatment. The =intent -Trice of good sanitary conditions is .the beat preventive.—D. Ii. Jones, O. A.

C fONf,rs, THE HANDLING OF BEES Practical [lints About Bees and Money Making. Preparations for 'Wintering Over— Spring Examination Trnportant— June Is Swarming Month — How to Avoid Too Early Extracting. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) THE beekeeper's year may be said to begin in September at the close of the honey season. Supers are then re- moved and colonies are examined for queen condition. Queenless colonies should be united with those which have queens, particularly with weak colonies such as light swarms which may have young queens. At present prices of honey and sugar it does not pay to attempt to winter any but the best colonies as swarms of bees can be purchased from the Soutiiern States to arrive in May and give as good a crop of honey as an average colony wintered over. After supers have been removed in September each colony should be fed a sufficient amount of syrup made of two parts granulated sugar to one of water to bring its supply of feed up to 35 or 40 pounds, This feeding may be done about the first of October.. Hives may be placed in boxes' for outdoor wintering before or after feeding at the convenience of the bee- keeper, but winter packing should be applied before settled cold weather. For cellar wintering, hives should be placed in the cellar at freezing up time in November, selecting for the operation if possible a cold day im- mediately following a spell of waren weather. When properly prepared according to some method similar to those described in Bulletin 256 on "The Wintering of Bees in Ontario," outdoor wintered bees require no at- tention from the time the feeding and packing is completed until the fol- lowing April. The bee -cellar should be watched for the regulation of temperature and ventilation when changes of weather occur. The successful wintering of bees depends on having good colonies of young• bees, young queens, plenty of good stores, hives warmly packed and ample protection from cold winds. On the first warm days of April colonies should be removed from cel- lars and all should be examined to detect queenlese ones or those short of stores. The former'should be unit- ed with those having queens and the latter given extra teed. It would not be -wise to make a thorough exam- ination for disease until the weather is Warmer than it usually is in April. Early In May when favorable weather arrives queens should be clipped and the matter of stores giv- en attention. At queen -clipping time the brood should be inspected care- fully for infectious dfeeases as de- scribed in Bulletin 218, "Bee Dis- eases in Ontario." The supering of strong colonies will begin during. fruit bloom and outdoor wintered bees may be un- packed soon after. In a backward spring the unpacking may be left len- til early In June. The beekeeper's main duty in May is to get queens clipped as stated and see that each colony develops propettly or is given room to check swarmingerapulse Ba the case may be. June le the swarming month and time of supering for the main honey flow which begins between the 10th and 20th of the month, depending on the season and the latitude. Be sure to give supers enough to avoid any crowding, .which may cause the bees to become discouraged, quit work and swarm excessively. It should be the beekeeper's aim to prevent swarm- ing as mucic as possible. This is done by keeping young queens, giving plenty of room and a systematic examination of brood -chambers to detect .colonies which are preparing to swarm. When queen °elle are found far advanced they should all be destroyed .and the queen herself re- mand. After the colony, ha s been quoenlese one week the combs should again be examined and all cells ex- cept one removed. This one will pro- vide them with a queen and it only ono is left they will not swarm again. Where an iml>rove>nent of stock Is desired the new queen may be given Instead of leaving one queen cell. Natural swarms should be hived on the old stand after removing the parent colony to one side. The swarms should be given the supers from the old colony. New swarms work 'with greet vigor_ because they have no brood to care for during the first week. Colonies held together, without swarming gather more honey than those which swarm. They also cause the beekeeper less trouble at unexpected times. It is the bee- keepers' patriotic duty to reduce the cost of stoney production and thus in- erease the quantity he is called to produce as .greatly as possible, This may be done More by Marin preven- tlen than in any other way.

'Phis was the case with Jonathan, He had sacrificed, mueil and endangered its life for David's sake. The chief value of this lesson will be realized by making it a living story Illustrating the plan of salvation. David's making inquiry' Inc some one upon whom he can bestow kindness taking the 1nitlatve in illustrates God to providing solrstion for lost and needy souls, This is clearly suggested in David's expression, "show the kind - nese of God" Mephlboshelh diel me seek David's help or sympathy. tabic likely* he had li fear and dread for him like the sinner has in many cases for the Lord. Salvation originated with the Lord. He did not make this provision because of man's merit, but mit of a heartof grave, for the sake of another, even Christ. III. Mephiboshetli Is Found (vv. 4, 5). "Phis lame man was found to the house of Alacler in Lodebar. This strikingly illustrates the sinner's con- dition. The shiner is utterly tenable to walk uprightly before the Lord. illepbibosheth was, in the house of elachir, which metals "sold." This Is exactly the sinner's condition -sold unto sin and Satan. Lodebar means "no pasture." This, too, suggests, the shiner's condition of soul which noth- ing can satisfy but God. The sinner maimed and enslaved by sin has an "aching void" which only God and bis grace can satisfy. IV. Mephibosheth's Sense of Uh- worthiness (vv. 11.8). When be was brought into the pres- ence of the king he reverently' fell upon his face. Every sinner in the presence of God feels unworthy of 111s saving grace. V. David Restores to Mephibeeheth the Ferleited Estate of His Father (vv. 9-10). He not only restored this estate, but provided a means of tillage. God not enly receives 418 into lits family as children and restores to us the estaeoe forfeited by Adam, but provides Tek Its culture and development. VI. Mephibesheth at : the King,* Table (vv. 11.18). This act of kindness en the part of David was done out of the -sincer- ity of his heart. 'This illustrates God's kindness to us in Christ.

Every lodge, church body or social organization should have some representative who will promptly and carefully atter its news report- ing. If you think some organization has better news service than your own, it is probably because that or- galization looks after such matters better. Write your items and send theta In when possible.
