WHITE DIARRHOEA AND TUBERCULOSIS 
IN CHICKENS. 
Aside from faulty hatching, brooding 
and feeding chicks, the first great loss 
comes from hereditary white diarrhoea, 
the germ being carried on the shell of 
the egg or in the egg itself. The chicks 
mope, droop their wings, do not grow, 
and die. The vent is closed by a thin, 
pasty white discharge. Inherited white 
diarrhoea always appears within a week 
from the time of hatching, and must 
not be confounded with so-called black 
diarrhoea, which is indigestion pure and 
simple, due either to imperfect brooding, 
defective hatching or faulty feeding. 
White diarrhoea is easily prevented. In 
the first place, the incubator, after each 
hatch, should be thoroughly washed out 
with a solution of carbolic acid, kretol 
or crcolin, the trays scraped and 
scrubbed and the burlap floor of 
the chick trays washed clean with 
the same solution, or new burlap 
laid over the wire floors. If white 
diarrhoea is suspected in the flock 
from which the hatching eggs come, or 
if no information is available as to its 
presence or absence, the eggs should be 
washed in a solution of corrosive sub¬ 
limate, one part to 3,000. These tablets 
are procurable in any drug store and 
dissolved in tepid water; the clean eggs 
are dipped in the solution and laid out 
on burlap or other cloths to dry. Any 
soiled eggs should be thoroughly cleansed 
with a brush in this same solution. 
When the hatch is over and the chicks 
are to be removed to the brooders, all 
weak or defective chicks should be killed 
at once, as in many cases these weak¬ 
lings that are worthless in any event 
are infected with the germs of white 
diarrhoea, and as baby chicks pick up 
anything they see, the droppings from 
one of these infected chicks may infect 
the whole brood. 
After the first week all danger of 
white diarrhoea is past, and if the feed¬ 
ing and brooding are right there should 
be no further trouble. In every hatch 
there are one or two cases of black 
diarrhoea due to defective hatching; the 
droppings become adherent to the vent 
and close it, preventing the further 
passage of the fecal matter. If this is 
removed and the vent greased the chick 
usually lives, but never thrives, as ex¬ 
amination usually shows that the yolk 
has not been entirely absorbed and the 
remains of it partly fill the abdominal 
cavity. This lump can be readily felt 
with the finger through the abdominal 
wall attached to the navel or between 
it and the vent. I have removed them 
with a sharp knife and stitched up the 
cut, but commercially it does not pay. 
Tuberculosis usually shows itself early 
after the hatch by a swollen or closed 
eye, with symptoms of a cold. All such 
chicks should be killed at once, as the 
trouble is contagious and will spread. 
The usual cause of this is breeding from 
hens or cocks that have had canker roup 
or serious catarrhal colds, that have 
been dosed and apparently cured. My 
own experience is that no matter how 
valuable a bird may be, if roup or canker 
attack it use* the ax and burn or bury 
at once. I have traced it through five 
generations before I could stamp it all 
out. 
Secondary bacterial infection, as I 
have called it, is, to my mind, a more 
serious trouble to-day than white diar¬ 
rhoea, because the latter has been so 
much written about that even novices 
are on the lookout for it, while the 
former, often mistaken for it, is rather 
little understood. It may start at any 
time from a week to eight weeks old. 
Its cause is always the eating by the 
chicks of a germ left behind in foul 
pens, yards or fields. These germs pass 
into the c?eca and breed so rapidly that 
the intestines bleed, and this blood full 
of the germs passes away with the freces. 
As soon as a drop of blood is passed 
by an infected chick it is grabbed by 
the nearest one and the whole pen are 
rapidly infected. As the growing cock¬ 
erels are quicker and larger, they get 
the largest doses. The infected chick 
either dies in 48 hours or the caeca be¬ 
comes filled with the coagulated blood 
and, failing to absorb the food, the 
chick rapidly starves to death. Here 
the treatment must be prompt and ener¬ 
getic. Carbolic acid, a tablespoonful of 
the deliquescent crystals, to 14 quarts 
of water; fill all water pans with this 
and give them no other water until the 
epidemic is over. Every other night 
empty out the water pans and put a cup¬ 
ful of epsom salts in your 14-quart pail 
of carbolic acid solution and fill all pans 
with this. In the morning empty out 
the remains and give carbolic acid and 
water. The epsom salts may be kept up 
for 10 days. The epsom salts will start 
the liver and clean up a certain amount 
of inflammation of the small intestine 
that is always present, usually enough 
in severe cases to clog the gall bladder. 
It also washes out the caeca. These 
small doses of carbolic acid may not kill 
the bacteria, but they certainly do pre¬ 
vent their increase. As this disease only 
comes from filth and infected pens or 
ground, prevention is easy; but be spe¬ 
cially careful that the floor or ground 
about your water pans or fonts is kept 
especially clean, as here the dirt, manure 
and water make a choice breeding place 
for germs. buchanan burr, m.d. 
A COLD ON 
YOUR CHEST 
needs immediate, efficient 
treatment —not with an alco¬ 
holic syrup or drugged pill, 
because a moment’s exhilera- 
tion is not the road to health. 
Rely on Scott’s Emulsion to 
promptly relieve chest colds, 
bronchitis or any pulmonary 
troubles; it further benefits by 
warming the body, enriching 
the blood and strengthening 
the lungs. Scott’s Emulsion 
is a wholesome, healthful 
food-tonic, and its timely use 
often prevents grippe and 
pneumonia.

Merit 
Confidence 
CONFIDENCE is one of the most 
important and satisfactory considera¬ 
tions in every act and interest in life. 
There is nothing the dairy farmer 
buys that ia of as 
great importance 
to him as the 
cream separator, 
which SAVES or 
LOSES money io 
quantity and qual¬ 
ity of product 
every time he puts 
milk through it, 
TWICE A DAY 
365 DAYS IN 
THE YEAR, and 
which lasts from six months to 
twenty years according to the 
durability of the machine. 
Hence the importance of only 
making so serious an investment with 
COMPLETE CONFIDENCE that 
you are buying THE BEST and 
that which will LAST LONGEST. 
Every man who knows what a 
cream separator is knows that this 
is true of the DE LAVAL, the 
original and for thirty years the 
“WORLD’S ST A N DA RD” cream 
separator. Somebody may CLAIM 
as much for some other separator, 
but no buyer can possibly have 
equal CONFIDENCE in its 
being so. 
The new 72 -paee De Laval Dairy Hand 
Book, in which important dairy ques* 
tions are ably diicussed by the best 
authorities, is a book that every cow 
owner should have. Mailed free upon 
request if you mention this paper. New
