crop grown. In a case where it is impossible to change the 

 fowls on to new ground, and where the disease has been very 

 pronounced, it is advisable to kill off all the fowls on the 

 premises and give the land a rest for at least six months, 

 adopting the measures recommended above for purifying the 

 run. 



Newly acquired fowls should not be allowed to run at once 

 with the general stock, but should be kept confined for about 

 ten days, to see if any traces of disease are developed, and to 

 prevent risk of contamination. 



Poultry keepers should do their utmost to guard against the 

 introduction of this disease, as once it appears the losses caused 

 are almost incalculable, and the best way of attaining this end 

 is by keeping the fowls under perfect conditions of health.
