specimens promptly. It is also a good policy to estab- 

 lish a pest house, away from the other poultry houses, 

 for those birds which are inclined to be just a little 

 dumpish, and keep them under quarantine until the 

 danger period for showing direct symptoms has been 

 overcome. Give these suspects one-tenth-grain tab- 

 lets of corrosive sublimate to every quart of water. 

 As a diet, give them stale bread soaked in boiled 

 milk and well seasoned with pepper. 



Where the flock and houses have been exposed to 

 infected birds, hygienic and sanitary measures must 

 be promptly resorted to. Lose no time in burning 

 up all the litter in the houses and yards ; sprinkle air- 

 slaked lime throughout the houses, and disinfect the 

 roosts, nest boxes, drinking fountains, food utensils, 

 the runs, etc. 



Another remedy quite frequently used for both 

 cholera and diarrhoea is to mix one teaspoonful of 

 spirits of camphor with sugar and add to each quart 

 of drinking water.
