Hens with Swollen Heads 
»»in liens get a swelling on the side of 
the head, dually closing the eye. When 
segregated they will not eat, and finally 
(lie. Cau you tell me what is the matter 
with them? \v. w. e. 
New Jersey. 
This may resuli simply from a “void,” 
the inflammation of the lining membrane 
of the nostrils .and eyes, extending tu a 
chamber in tin skull connecting with 
both and tilling this cavity with matter 
which dually hardens and produces the 1 
swelling noticed. < hi the other hand, the 
inflammation may lie that of roup instead 
of a common cold. The symptoms will 
be similar, but more severe in tin lat¬ 
ter case, and gradual exhaust! u and 
death may follow. If. from the severity 
of the affection, roup is suspected, 
the ailing fowls should be promptly re- i 
moved from the flock and all precautions 
as to cleanliness and disinfection should 
be taken. Roup is a dangerous, comtnuni- 
cable disease, causing great losses in the | 
dock and being difficult to eradicate.
