perches too early instead of stayiiiR upon

of mineral matter in the hones, permit- 
tiiiR tliem to become defoi'incd, roRard- 
le.ss of the attitude that tiie birds 
hahitnally take. This lack may h(> due 
to defective nutrition from some jiliysiiv 
loRical (‘anse rathi'r than to any defi¬ 
ciency in diet, and usually shows in only 
a few chicks out of a flock. Similar di^ 
formities are seen in cliildren with 
rickets, and I see no reason why similar 
catiscs miRht not operate with yoniiR 
chickens. At any rate, stich deformitii'S 
are occasioivally seen in birds, no matter 
how, whon, or where they roost.

riiic'kc'npox- in our Xorthern States 
does not usually offer a serious in-ohlcin 
to the poiiltryman. thouRh there are 
cases so .s(>vere as to jinulniv fatal la*- 
sults. These iirobahly occur, however, 
in birds so debilitated as to ho able to 
offer but little resistance to disi'ase. A 
sliRlit outbreak in my own dock this last 
Fall disappeared within a few weeks 
without attention. 'I'he remedii's usually 
riH‘ommondcd are the sinii>l antiseptic 
ointments, such as (•arlxdi/.ed vaseline or 
snlphnr ointment, and one much used in 
the .South, where tlie disease is umre 
common and severe, is to paint the sores 
with tincture of iodine. To jirevcnt 
spread of the infection diseased birds 
should he removed from the tlo<‘k and all 
utensils nsial for eatiiiR and drinkiiiR 
should be disinfected witli hoiliiiR water 
or some simple antiseptic solution.
