Flock No. 6, 62 birds; owner, Mr. M. L. Myers, Marysville, O. 



Results: "You ask my experience in regard to the use of 

 the vaccine. I will say that thus far, and I have used it 

 for four or five years, that at this season of the year I 

 would not be without it. It has made the breeding of 

 fancy birds a pleasure to me, for before its use, as a rule, 

 I would lose at this season of the year several of my best 

 young birds, but I have lost none since, and I have tried 

 it on some very bad cases. 



"Before the use of the vaccine, the trouble that I 

 would have was with the young birds that had farm or 

 free range. While at large they appeared to be in fine 

 condition, but as soon as confined a few days in winter 

 quarters, then my trouble began, colds, roup, etc., which 

 would affect the whole flock. Two years ago I treated 

 every bird the day it was put into winter quarters, and 

 I had but one sick bird. Last fall as I housed my birds 

 I treated only the best ones, and the culls of the flock put 

 in other quarters. I had no trouble with birds treated, 

 but did with the others. 



"Last winter and the winter before I treated my ex- 

 hibition birds, and not one of them at the end of the sea- 

 son had a cold or a sign of roup, while in previous years 

 I lost the use of some of my best birds for mating, owing 

 to colds and roup contracted in the show room."
