A little permanganate of potash used in the drinking water ('enough to give- a deep wine color) will help to prevent the spreading of catarrhal colds, but in. more serious cases, birds should be isolated„ and treated by washing the eyes, nostrils and throat with a sett - tion of boracie acid'.. Cotton used in the open front houses should be kept brushed off, and should be opened up on fine, days to facilitate 'ventilation, thiswillalso prevent the accumulation of moisture, which is more injurious to the health J of the birds than cold. Plenty of clean litter should be provided for scratching purposes. Lice, which are usually present in certain numbers, should be kept in control. This may be done by dusting the birds with insect powder or by smearing the skin around the vent with blue ointment about the size of a pea, Care: should be taken not to smear the feathers with this ointment. A grain, mixture should be fed in the litter morning and evening. Feed at the rate of about one quart per day to ten birds.
