EXAMINE Y01.10 ELOCE
Examine your flock carefully to-
day. Catch and 'examine carefully all
suspicious looking birds that &sere to

or scabs. If chicken pox is found',
take immediate drastic steps to pre.
vent its spread to your neighbor's
floeks. Potassium permanganate
ShOlf2d be kopt in the chinking watae,
as it may help to prevent 0 spread of
the disease from bird to bird, as the
drinking water is the usual source
of dissemination of the disease. If
only a few birds are affected., remove
them Crain the flock, and treat them
iralividually, although this lacaetion
will prcbably not prevent the spread-
ing of tlm disease through the re-
mainder et the flock.
BireJ3 affected should be fed the
most eitlatable foods castairable, the
pox or scabe ahould be painted with
iodine, and: if throat cankers are pres-
, thee also e o-u,d, be treated with
tincture of, aeaine, When aninai-
vidual.bird is seen gasping for breath,
the mouth' ehou'd be ormed ,and the

will be seen just ineide the. windpipe.
With the ,aid of e hairpin, this canker
'can 1.1S1HlKy be dislodged, and the re-
sulting injury should be painted with
tincture of declare. Many birds can '

affeeted, g twenty per cent. solution of
argyaol should be placed in ,the af-1
feeted eye, and this treatment Willi

few days. A chop of this argyrol so-
lution administered with an eye drops
per daily, is very effective in olearing
up "bad eyes."
PREVENT SPREAD tasaAsn.
There is no flock treatment that is
effeotive. Ev*ry etOort hou1d be macle
to increase the feed consumption of
the flock, te the birds carrying censid-

istance to the disease, and aye riot so
serionaly effected as birds in heavy
production that are lacking in body
weight.
The dieease useably goes through a
flock in six. W.2,S1C.S, affecting practical-
ly every bird In the flock, although
many birds have considereb:e disease
resistance, and wila continue to lay
without interruption.
Care should be taken to prevent the
spread of the daasase to neighboring
flocks, All visitors shoalsl Lo kept out
of the pens, and sparrows shodd be
screwed out, as they are often car-
riers of this disease from flock to flock.
Ir you know of any pox being pres-

that it will leach your flock only
through the introduction of new birds
from diseased sources, on the feet of
visitors walking through your houses

AN OLD GAME,
Mere than a hundred years ago, a
acet wrote the fenowing description
of the game of "Toilet":
"There is a sport well known in
coantry towien
'Tis The Tollea—which I
oftea joined
At Milkmaids' parties—where the
humor lies
In having chairs eaough for all but
00113,
Who takes the middle of the happy
ring,
Uneeated; till the dgreal given
xi must change place; ,who obtains
no seat '
Incurs a forfeit, •aail th.e centre
tak•es,
To 'give ,the signal to another
change."
