H.  K.  BRUNNER,  45  Harrison  Slreel,  New  York 
During  the  last,  two  years  the  Storrs 
Experiment  Station  has  carried  on  in 
Connecticut  a.  campaign  against  bacillary 
white  dinrrhcea  of  young  chicks,  a  disease 
that  is  transmitted  to  the  little  chick 
through  the  ovary  of  its  mother.  By 
extended  experiment  at  tjie  college  it  was 
found  that  infection  with  this  disease 
was  almost  impossible  through  food  or 
drink,  after  the  chick  was  four  days  old. 
The  chick’s  system  had  acquired  strength 
enough  to  resist  the  disease  after  that 
age.  The  college  arranged  to  have  that 
test  made  without  charge. on  all  the  com¬ 
petition  birds.  The  test,  which  is  known 
as  the  agglutination  method  of  determin¬ 
ing  ovarian  infection,  involves  drawing 
from  the  wing  vein  a  sample  of  blood,  hut 
so  small  an  amount  that  it  docs  not  stop' 
the  egg  yield  or  affect  the  fowls  ad¬ 
versely  at.  all.  The  hens  in  the  contest 
were  tested  last  week  and  80  out  of  the 
I, (MX)  birds  were  found  to  lie  affected.

Lining  a  Henhouse 
I  have  been  thinking;  of  using  paper 
for  lining  n  hoiihousit  that  was  very  frosty 
last  Winter,  having  a  two-ineh  space 
from  wall  to  paper.  Ho  you  think  it  will 
work,  or  <1o  you  know  something  hotter? 
New  York.  j.  tr. 
Inning  a  poultry-house  so  as  to  leave, 
an  air  space,  between  the  Wall  and  the 
lining  will  undoubtedly  contribute  to  its 
warmth,  but  not  to  an  extent  that  would 
justify  the  expense.  Tight  walls  through 
which  air  cannot  enter  are  all  that  is 
required  and  these  are  as  well  made  of 
matched  stuff  in  single  thickness  as  of 
anything.  Hovering  old  buildings  with 
tarred  paper  will  make  them  airtight  at 
small  expense.  If  a  henhouse  is  “frosty" 
in  the  Winter,  double  walls  will  not  alter 
that  condition.  Accumulation  of  frost 
upon  the  walls  shows  that  ventilation  is 
dolicient  and  that  measures  should  be 
taken  to  secure  a  more  free  interchange 
of  air.  Open  fronts  or  open  windows  on
