CHOLERA IN FOWLS. 



Cholera is a very contagious disease. When it makes 

 its appearance no time should be lost in relieving the affect- 

 ed fowls, and preventing further developments of this 

 dreaded disease among the unaffected ones. If you suspect 

 cholera, before administering any treatment, thoroughly ex- 

 amine the coops, also the fowls, to make sure the trouble 

 is not lice instead of cholera. In many cases where cholera 

 was supposed to have destroyed a whole flock of chickens, 

 it was afterwards found to be nothing more than lice. 



CAUSES OF CHOLERA :— Over-crowding, irregu- 

 lar feeding of unwholesome food, miproper ventilation and 

 sanitation, atmospheric changes, and keeping fowls oji low 

 wet ground with poor drainage.

 very thirsty; they sometimes stagger and fall down from 

 weakness ; wattles and comb turn pale and sometimes dark, 

 breathing becomes labored and faster and the fowl soon
