Worms in Fowls 
Would you let me kuow what you 
think of worm emulsion for worms in 
poultry? I see it advertised in all of the 
poultry papers, but never iu The K. 
N.-Y. ' I would like to hear from you be¬ 
fore ordering a supply. w. G. 
Mountain Top, Pa. 
I do not know what this worm remedy 
is, or how valuable it may be, but think 
that you will find the standard tobacco 
treatment as efficacious as any proprie¬ 
tary remedy. This consists of steeping 
1 lf>. of finely cut tobacco stems in water 
enough to cover for two hours, then mix¬ 
ing the stems and liquor with about half 
the amount of mash that the flock usually 
consumes at a time, giving it in the after¬ 
noon to fowls that have fasted since the 
previous day. A few hours later, give 1 
lb. of Epsom salts dissolved in a little 
water and mixed with what inash will be 
readily eaten, seeing to it that each bird 
gets its share. These amounts are for 
100 fowls; smaller flocks should have 
proportionately less. If droppings from 
treated birds are not kept cleaned up the 
fowls may become quickly reinfested by 
picking up worms or eggs that have been 
expelled by the tobacco treatment. It 
kept upon old, infested ground, any treat¬ 
ment cannot keep the fiock free from 
worms for long. B - D -

Ailing Hens 
Gould you tell me what ails my chick¬ 
ens? I have lost quite a number of them 
in spite of all the treatments I have tried. 
They start by sitting around, not eating, 
droop their wings, and seem to waste 
away. I opened one and found the gall 
almost three times as large as the heart, 
and the liver seemed to be affected by the 
gall. I find that some of them will eat 
if I give them something other than their 
regular feed, such as meat scrap, pota¬ 
toes. milk and bread. They are very 
fond of cranberry pulp, which I tried 
them on only today. Can this harm 
them? a. c. H. 
Vineland, N. J. 
The symptoms that you mention are 
common to a number of disorders and do 
not disclose the nature of the disease. 
They are seen in the final stages of coc- 
cidiosis, a common disease among chick¬ 
ens raised upon old ground, however, and 
this may be the trouble in your case. Ex¬ 
amine the blind guts, or pouches, of one 
of the dead birds, and see if these are 
filled with cheesy matter, distended and 
evidently inflamed. The contents of 
these pouches may be of a grayish-white 
color in older fowls, or bloody in young 
chickens. A bloody diarrhoea may also 
accompany the disease. Tuberculosis, as¬ 
pergillosis and one or two other less 
common diseases present much the same 
symptoms, tuberculosis often affecting 
the liver and showing itself by the pres¬ 
ence of nodules on the surface and in that 
organ. 
If the appearance of the blind guts in¬ 
dicate coccidiosis. powdered catechu may 
he given in the drinking water, one-third 
of a teaspoon to the gallon. This is bet¬ 
ter as a preventive than a cure, however, 
and, in addition, it may be necessary to 
raise chicks only upon new and unin¬ 
fected ground. M. B. D.

Roup in Turkeys 
Is there a cure for roup? 1 had 61 
half-grown turkeys, and 41 of them have 
died of roup. I tried all kinds of roup 
remedies. J. H. M. 
Warsaw, N. Y. 
Turkeys, like other fowls, are subject 
to roup, but when the greater part of a 
half-grown flock dies, there is a strong 
suspicion of something else than roup to 
be entertained. Young poults are espe¬ 
cially subject to blackhead and coccidio¬ 
sis, two diseases which have made it al¬ 
most impossible to raise any large num¬ 
ber of turkeys on farms where good sized 
flocks were formerly reared without 
trouble. These diseases show themselves 
by drooping, weakness in walking, gradu¬ 
al loss of flesh, more or less diarrhoea 
and finally death. They attack young 
poults from a few weeks of age until ma¬ 
turity. Usually a few survive out of any 
fiock, but mature birds may also show 
these troubles and die after having be¬ 
come full grown. 
There are two preventives that have 
gained some reputation in the treatment 
of these diseases, but nothing can be said 
(o be anything like a certain cure. Pow¬ 
dered catechu may be given in the drink¬ 
ing water of the flock, one teaspoon being 
added to each three gallons of water, this 
being done for three days at a time, with 
an interval of a day or two between the 
three-day periods. This is for coccidiosis. 
For blackhead, powdered ipecac, one tea¬ 
spoon in the mash for each 20 birds, old 
and young, may be given at intervals, be¬ 
ginning early. The symptoms of these 
two diseases are so much alike that there 
is no practical way of distinguishing them 
in the living birds, but the practical cer¬ 
tainty of death in the greater part of the 
poults attacked is the same in both.
