Hens with Colds 
I have about 125 White Leghorn hens 
which I have been lighting with a gaso- 
liue lantern. Some are pullets and some 
a year old. I am getting about three 
dozen eggs a day. and the number is in¬ 
creasing. Birds s*-etn strong and active 
and have a warm house. The other day I 
noticed one hen with her right eye swol¬ 
len shut. I killed this hen and have since 
found five others, each with the right eye 
affected. Sometimes a substance which 
looks like water comes from the eye. The 
eyes are swollen, but the eyelids are 
drawn over the eyes and the hens cannot 
see. They are dull and appear sick. 
Can you suggest the cause of the trouble 
and a remedy? e. a. w. 
Williamson. N. Y. 
These swollen e 3 ves may be due to 
catarrhal inflammation from colds, or the 
trouble may be mild roup. In either case, 
the affected fowls should be removed from 
the floek and isolated until they have fully 
recovered or shown by the progress of the 
disease that recovery is not likely or de- 
sirnl le. Utensil* used by the flock should 
be cleaned in boiling water, and particu¬ 
lar attention paid to general cleanliness 
in their quarters. The sick fowls may 
be treated individually, if you wish to 
give them the necessary attention A so¬ 
lution of borh irid in water, 15 grains to 
the ounce, may bo used to keep the eyes 
and adjacent passages clean, using a 
small glass syringe for the purpose. Such 
treatment requires considerable time and 
work and. if true roup is present, it is 
usually better to dispose of the sick fowls 
rather than to run the risk of keeping 
the infection alive and in the flock from 
year to year. M. B. D.
