"The new farm equipment and anaehinery, that has

"If a lack of ready cash prevents
you from getting iyo•ur share of ;up-

Diseases of Chickens
Prevalent Just Now
(By GERALD E. NELSON, Assistant Agricultural
Representative for Huron County)
At this time of year possibly on
e organisms are a menace. The more- 'of the infective organisms the bird;
eats theonore severe will be the in-
fection. Poorly designed feeders and
waterers, .become easily eontaminated
and serve as avenues of infection.
Carelessness, failure to note initial
symptoms, failure to investigate the
cause of the first few deaths. man
power shortage, all ten:dto let an out-
break get out of control. Therefore,
try to prevent serious losses by hav-
ing a good ventilating system in the
houses, good deep absorbent litter',
non -drip water fountains raised on
wire screen platforms that are pro-
tected so that the birds cannot get
underneath therm, moveable shade
shelters on the range, forage on range
clipped close, and well drained land.
Cooeidia are not readily destroyed
with ordinary disinfectants• Unless
the deeps litter system is used, clean
out the droppings and litter often.
Use the range every other year or
every third year, or frequently move
the feeders, waterers and shade, Do
everything possible to ,prevent a con-
centration of droppings in any place,
either indoors or outdoors. Very sick
birds should be removed from the
flook,kifled,•and their carcasses burnt.
Dead birds should also be burnt,
When the disease is suspected have a -
ferry birds examined at once by a lab-
oratory equipped for the purpose.
Quite often an accurate diagnosis
cannot be made without a microscop-
foal examination of the intestinal or
eeeal contents.
of the greatest perils of :ehdek rear
mg and the greatest single cause of
death is caocidiosis, in chieks and
poults .between the ages of three and
twelve weeks of age. As an example
of (heavy infestation, out of a total
number of 2,739 birds examined in
the poultry diseases laboratory dur-
ing the months of April, May, June
and July of 1946, 774 or about 28 per
cent were founcl to be affected with
this disease.
Many people have misconceptions
about coeeidiosis in poultry, Some
think that unless there is blood in
the droppings of sick chickens the
birds are affected with some other
disease. Yet in only two (or occas-
ionally three) of the eight forms of
coccidiosis occurring in chickens, are
the droppings tinged with blood.
Others fail to realize that deaths
from coccidiosis can take place from
the time ohickens are two weeks old)
until they reach naturity Still others
think that if several growing birds hi chicken or turkey flock die the
cause of death must be coccidiosis
and treat for that disease, whereas
the mortality may be due to some
entirely different ailment.
s• It is important to find out for sure
the cause of sickness and death, and
as soon as coccidiosis has been de-
finitely diagnosed in a flock, some
ethod of treatment and control
should be.commenced without delay.
It would be erroneous to say that
e disease can be absolutely prevent -
es the causative organisms array
introduced on to well managed
remises on the shoes of persons who
ave recently visited a flock where
'diosis is present. However,
ocidiosis can be largely controlled
f a few simple rules are followed.
et litter, accumulation of surface
ater on ranges in low spots, swamp
nd, high grass and permanent shade
1I tend to provide moisture ,which is
ecessaty for the organisms that are
assed out in the droppings to be-
rm infestive.
Accumulations of ,poultry manure s
ntaining large numbers of these '
As soon as the presence of coccid-
iosis is deterined, some form of treat-
ment is advisable. Several of the
sulfa drugs have been found valuable.
Those that can be given in the drink-
ing water axe preferable, as it is not
easy to evenly distribute a small
quantity of powder in a large amount
of mash, and a sick bird will drink
when it will not eat. Sodium snlfannem
thazine, sodium sulfaerazine and
neoprontosil are all sulfa ,preparat-
ions that can be added to the drink -
ng water. If these are not available,
ulfaguanidine can be added to the
nash. As the sulfa drugs are on the

Time is Money
Any farmer without good equipment to operate
his farm in these times when help is out of question,
requires up-to-the-reiitute power equipment.
THE NEW UNIVERSAL' JEEP is so built it
can handle your road transportation, and the 100 jobs
on farm, digging postholes for Hydro and ,telephone
companies.
Also we now have the latest -equipped fire Jeep,
which is now on display and made in Canada.

Registered Seed
I would also like to remind all
Huron County farmers, who plan to
grow registered grain this year, that
they should be thinking and planning
now. First of all. registered grain
cannot be obtained from certified
seed through field or bin inspection.
Registered grain can. be obtained only
from Elite stock registered seed,
Foundation Stock and Approved
Stock,
The main thing to remember in the
growing of certified or registered
grain is to not sow on stubble unless

a certified or registered crop of the
same variety was grown the ,previous
year. Also the general recommendat-
ion is to isolute a certifiers or regist-
ered crop at least 10 feet distant from
a different variety, strain, species or
type. If the crop to be certified or
registered is sown amidst ether fields
of nor -registered grain, then it is a
safe policy to leave a wide headland
around the field which can be culti-
vated to keep d'o'wn weeds. These
points should be born in mind at the
commencement of seeding, because
once the grain is sown improperly, it
is too late to rectify the situation. Al-
so all applications for field inspect-
ion bust be made to K. A. Hillier,
Plant Products Division, Dominion
Department of Agriculture, Richmond
Building, London, early in the season
so that the inspector can arrange his
route,

Club, and the Grey Junior Grain Club
wth 18 members sponsored jointly by
the Brussels Agricultural Society and
Grey Township Federation of Agri-

ing for 1947 club work in Huron and
we sincerely hope that other clubs
will fall in line with a large member-
ship. Clubs still to be organized aro

Club, Morris Calf Club, Howick Dairy

Warble Spraying
The spraying of cattle for warbles
is progressing favomralbly in Goderieh
East Wawa -nosh and Morris Town-
ships. r understand that within a
few days the ,Morris Township unit
will have completed the first spray.
A general observation indicates that
the warbles, although fairly preval-
ent in some herds, do not seen to be
quite as far advanced as at the same
time last year. The general feeling,
however, is that with a pressure, of
800 pounds, a more thorough job is
being done this year.
