this dose once a day and rub around the swelling with white 
liniment once a day. This gradually cures if taken in time. 
If the swelling is very large before starting to treat it, split 
the lumps open with a sharp knife and squeeze the cheesy 
matter out. Then fill the hole and rub the swelling with 
white liniment; continue this treatment until the turkey is 
all right. Be careful not to let the liniment into the eye 
while applying" it to the head. 
2. Ducks. 
Ducks are not subject to the same number of diseases 
as chickens, although they too have many. These, as a gen- 
eral rule, may be traced to the same great cause, namely, 
that of improper care and feeding. Provide plenty of water 
in a swimming pond in addition to what we have outlined 
for chickens and little trouble will be experienced. 
All diseases of ducks may be successfully treated as out- 
lined for chickens when conditions are similar. 
3. Geese. 
The causes, symptoms and treatment of diseases of 
geese are similar to those of other poultry and may be 
treated in the same manner, regulating the dose of medicine, 
of course, to the size of the bird.
