these diseases. The Federal Department 
of Agriculture does not recommend the 
practice, saying that it has not proved 
successful. Vaccines ma.v be obtained,

Disease of Chickens and Turkeys 
I notice that on page 101 you advise 
using catechu for eoeeidiosis in chickens. 
I have heard this drug mentioned before 
for this trouble, but have never been able 
to learn in what way it is used, nor in 
what quantity. Any information you 
could give me on the subject would be 
very much appreciated. j. g. l. 
Pennsylvania, 
Ren]ying to this question, I would say 
that the dose of catechu is a teaspoonful 
in each three gallons of drinking water. 
The U, S. Department of Agriculture 
recommends giving each adult, bird three 
teaspoonfuls of castor oil with 10 drops 
of oil of turpentine mixed with the castor 
, oil. Of course, the (lose should be les¬ 
sened for younger birds, according to age. 
This article will answer several letters I 
have .received asking what dose of catechu 
to give for eoeeidiosis, and how to give it. 
A letter forwarded to me by The R. 
N.-Y,, from a lady in Johnsonvillc, N. Y., 
gave a very interesting and pitiful story 
of her endeavors to raise turkeys. Last 
year she had hatched 80 and raised only 
nine, but that, was better than any of her 
neighbors had done. 81ie described the 
symptoms of light yellow and frothy drop¬ 
pings. etc., very completely, ‘‘the rot Ion 
liver falling to pieces at a touch.” I sent 
her letter to my correspondent, in San 
Diego, who showed it to Dr. Wore forth. 
The doctor says it was true “blackhead." 
Mrs. B’s letter stated her turkeys were 
badly affected with intestinal worms, 
and I quote my correspondent: “There 
is no question in my mind but what these 
birds were weakened by the attack of 
worms, and it would seem to me that any 
successful treatment, for blackhead should 
be connected with a like treatment for 
worms. I think it. well to advise Mrs. R. 
to begin giving the ipecac when her poults 
are two weeks of age. One teaspoonfu! 
of the powdered ipecac in enough mash 
for 20 birds, fed twice a week. 
My opinion is that failure of remedies 
to cure is often due to the fact. that, the 
disease lias progressed too far before 
treatment, is begun, and the remedy is con¬ 
demned as no good when it did not have 
a fair chance. It will put many a dollar 
into the pockets of farmers' wives if tur¬ 
key-raising can be made safe and profit¬ 
able again. geo a. cosgrove. 
Blackhead, White Diarrhoea, and Gapes 
Can you give me any information in 
regard to disease of young turkeys? They 
seem perfectly healthy until they are 
three or four weeks old, then they get 
droopy and have a white, slimy discharge 
of the bowels, and finally die; I have ex¬ 
amined them after dead, and tind the liver 
all diseased. Also advise as to white 
diarrhoea and gapes in. little chicks. 
Wilmington, Del. J. J. U. 
From the description it seems to be 
clear that your turkeys have the disease 
called blackhead. Dr. Wegeforth, in Cali¬ 
fornia, discovered that ipecac was both 
a cure and a preventive of the disease. 
Used a.s a preventive, the dose is a tea- 
spoonful of the powdered ipecac in enough 
mash for each unit of 20 birds. Feed it 
twice a week until they are half or two- 
thirds grown, commencing when they are 
two weeks old- As a cure, 10 drops three 
times a day in the mouth, of the fluid ex¬ 
tinct of ipecac, is- given for three days, 
then twice a day for three days, then 
ouce a day for a similar period. Preven¬ 
tion is much better, as often the disease 
has progressed too far for the cure to 
overcome it, 
Gapes in little chicks is caused by 
worms in the windpipe; they can be re¬ 
moved by making a loop in a hair from a 
horse’s tail and inserting it in the wind¬ 
pipe of the chick, drawing out the worms. 
White diaiTluea is inherited, usually 
from the mother hen. in the egg. It is 
very hard to cure. But all diarrluea in 
chicks is not “white diarrhoea," by any 
means. That condition known as "pasted 
tip behind" is not white diarrlnea. Fader 
favorable conditions bacteria multiply 
with astonishing rapidity. If the con¬ 
ditions are, say. alkaline, or neutral, make 
them acid, and so destroy the harmful 
bacteria. Feed loppered milk, for the 
lactic acid there is in it. Change the 
conditions. A mild dose of Epsom salts 
is often very beneficial. Earthworms are 
said to be the hosts of the gape worm, and 
in places where the gapes prevail, chicks 
should be removed to some other locality.
