The DETROIT is scientifi¬ 
cally constructed to give big 
hatches of lusty, fast grow¬ 
ing chicks. 
Temperature is automat¬ 
ically regulated by a Miller 
type trip burner that acts 
directly on the flame. Heat 
is held in and cold kept out 
by double walls having dead 
air spaces between them. 
Every part of the hatching 
chamber is evenly heated— 
the hollow square hot water 
tank has rounded elbows 
that prevent cold corners. 
These ore only a few of 
the features that make the 
Detroit Buch a big hatching 
incubator. Write for cata¬ 
log giving full and detailed 
description and get the 
almost unbelievable bargain

Vaccinating Against Roup 
Can you give me any information in re¬ 
gard to vaccination as a preventive of 
roup in chickens? A. B. p. 
Berlin Heights, O. 
Vaccination of fowls as a cure or pre¬ 
ventive of roup, chicken-pox, and allied 
disorders, consists in injecting beneath 
the skin of the fowl treated, by means of 
a hypodermic syringe, a liquid prepara¬ 
tion made from the exudate of pox no¬ 
dules of affected birds. This exudate is 
ground up in normal salt solution, fil¬ 
tered, and heated before being bottlled for 
use. Two or three injections are given at 
intervals of several days. The idea is 
that by this artificial inoculation of the 
fowl with the virus of the disease an im¬ 
munity is conferred. This is a very mod¬ 
ern. and by many veterinarians consid¬ 
ered a very effectual treatment for cure 
or prevention of the disease mentioned. 
It is not difficult of administration, or 
expensive. Not all reports from its use 
are wholly encouraging, and not all au¬ 
thorities are agreed as to its value, but, 
with present knowledge, it appears to be 
the most promising of curative agents yet 
discovered. m. b. d.
