58 NOTES ON FOWI. ENTERITIS. 



I do not think I can do better than quote the last sentence 

 in Dr. Klein's book, namely : — 



" Although the two diseases, fowl enteritis and fowl cholera, 

 are difi'erent, the mode of their spread and the general behaviour 

 ■of the two species of bacilli are similar, and therefore the rules 

 "that should guide us in the prevention of the spread of either 

 .should be the same. These may be summarised in saying — (1) 

 -every fowl that shows any suspicion of the disease should be at 

 once removed, killed, and burned ; (2) the remaining fowls should 

 Tje at once transferred to new ground, and, if practicable, should be 

 subdivided into separate small lots ; (3) the ground from which 

 "the affected fowls have been removed should be turned, disin- 

 fected with quick-lime, and not used for fowls for a cousiderable 

 time. These seem to me the best and easiest ways to prevent 

 the healthy fowls contracting the infection by picking up food 

 tainted with the evacuations (full of the specific bacilli) of the 

 diseased fowls."
