An Experience with Vaccination 
On page 394 A. B. of Michigan inquires 
about vaccination to prevent roup. Prof. 
Willard C. Thompson, professor of poul¬ 
try husbandry in New Jersey, developed 
a vaccine for the control of roup, canker 
and chickenpox which was tested in about 
30 plants iu all section of the State in 
1919. That year 1 bad GO pullets of vari¬ 
ous ages inoculated, and kept a check 
flock of the same number and the same 
range of ages. 
My inoculated pullets began to lay 35 
days ahead of the check flock. They did 
not have to fight disease germs; no roup, 
no canker, no chickenpox among the vac¬ 
cinated birds. But the check flock made 
up for it. 
In 1920 we could not get the vaccine. 
In 1921 1 vaccinated every bird that I 
intended to Winter. And when, jn the 
middle of March, I made iny report 
to the poultry department on results, in 
which I found that I have not hade a case 
of roup, canker or chickenpox this year 
(Winter of 1921-22). Thenc was an ap¬ 
preciable drop in egg production, although 
T vaccinated hens that were laying at. the 
time. I vaccinated about 40 each day. 
and spread the work out from September 
20 to October 7. I bad a few colds, and 
four birds with watery eyes, but lost 
none. The colds were contracted before 1 
started tlv* inoculation. 
I believe that better results will be 
secured by vaccinating the birds before 
September 15. Don't bother to vaccinate 
the hen that is half-dead. Save that vac¬ 
cine for the hens you want, to save. All 
bens used in my breeding pens in 1921 
were inoculated in the test of 1919, which, 
I believe, accounts in part for the low 
mortality this year. My poultry houses 
are on low, heavy ground, but fairly well 
drained. Prof. Linden S. Dodson, New 
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, 
is in charge of the campaign against youp. 
canker and chickenpox in this State, and 
will gladly give further information.

Arrangement of Poultry Runs 
I am sending sketch of a field whore I 
would like to keep about 500 Single 
Comb Rhode Island Reds for breeding 
purposes. Wliat is the best place to lo¬ 
cate the henhouse, and how should the 
pens, both inside and out, be arranged? 
Is each cock or cockerel with his flock of 
liens supposed to he kept separate from 
the rest? I prefer the shod type of hen¬ 
house. r. g. c. 
It is immaterial where you place the 
poultry house, unless you wish to consult 
convenience by placing it near your 
dwelling. If you wish to keep several 
flocks, you will then, of course, be 
obliged to divide both the poultry bouse 
and the lot. In that case it will probab¬ 
ly be best to place the building in the 
center of the north side, facing tile south. 
You can then divide the lot into runs bv 
fences running north and south and later, 
if you wish, yon can use the north lot in 
the same way while cultivating and re¬ 
newing the smith lot. Or you can place 
your building in the center of the south 
lot and have runs on both the north and 
south sides of it. The more you sub¬ 
divide your building and the lot the more 
labor and expense you will be to. A 
flock of 500 having the entire house 
(20x100 ft. in size) would be none too 
large for economical management as egg 
producers. If you wish several breeding 
pens, however, you will, of course, have 
to divide your house and your yard to 
correespond, and in that case you will 
have one or more males in each breeding 
pen. M. U. D.
