Useful Poultry House 
On page 533, R. S. O., Essex Co., N. Y. 
asks for a plan of poultry-house for 50 
hens. I am enclosing my plans for a very 
cheap house which works out well here 
and has housed about 50 Barred Rock 
pullets this Winter without a frosted 
comb, although I think it has not been 
below zero any time. The three-foot door 
on the west side has had nothing but 
two-inch mesh wire on it the same as the 
entire south front. Last year I had this 
door covered with cotton cloth. 
You will note that this house is higher 
in back than in front and the perches 
are placed on a level or just above the top 
of the opening in front thus avoiding any 
draft. 
This house is being used with a dirt 
floor which comes a little below the bot¬ 
tom of the sills but if this was to be built 
with a board floor it would be well to 
lengthen the posts six inches all around 
to give head room enough. With a board 
floor it would make a good brooder house 
with any of the coal burning brooders in¬ 
stalled and two windows placed in front. 
This house is 12x14 feet with a box for 
dry mash up on legs about 15 inches, four 
orange boxes for nests, and no drop 
board. 8 . w. s. 
Suspected Cholera 
I had a nice bunch of layers in Decem¬ 
ber ; something seemed to happen to 
them. They started to lay soft-shelled 
eggs and then died. I feared cholera. 
The County Agent used vaccine, and they 
seemed to pick up for a while, and then 
started dying again. I have lost over 200 
nice hens and my egg yield dropped from 
300 a day in December to 100 a day in 
March. What is the trouble? J. K. 
New York. 
Fowl cholera is a contagious disease, 
which may be either acute, killing within 
a few days, or even hours, or chronic, ex¬ 
tending over a long period of time, with 
deaths occurring at frequent intervals in 
the flock, the dead birds often being 
found beneath the perches in the morn¬ 
ing. The name “cholera” is often given to 
any severe diarrheeal disease of fowls, 
but all diarrhoeas are by no means due 
to true cholera. The cause of the dis¬ 
ease is a germ that is spread by means 
of the droppings of sick birds or by 
means of their blood and flesh, if these 
latter are consumed by healthy fowls or 
other birds. A sick bird introduced into 
a healthy flock may be the source of 
origin of the trouble, or infection may be 
carried on the shoes.of visitors from an 
infected plant, or in food or water. Sick 
fowls are sometimes shipped and their 
carcasses become sources of contagion at 
new points. As pigeons and other wild 
birds may suffer from this disease, they 
may introduce it into a healthy flock of 
fowls. The droppings of sick fowls and 
their blood contaminate everything with 
which they come in contact, and are the 
chief means by which the disorder is 
spread. 
Affected fowls may die suddenly in the 
acute form of the disease, or may linger 
for a considerable time in the more 
chronic forms. In the latter case they 
appear droopy, stupid, with roughened 
plumage, disinclination to move about or 
eat. though perhaps drinking copiously, 
and, perhaps, with a mucous discharge 
from their mouths. There is either in¬ 
termittent or constant diarrhoea and. in 
the acute form, the first symptom noticed 
may be the bright yellow color of the 
droppings, the yellow taking the place of 
the ordinarily white part. Later, the dis¬ 
charges may also show bright green color, 
perhaps a pasty, green mass. 
Sick birds die. 90 per cent or more of 
the acute cases succumbing. There is no 
worth-while treatment for a bird known 
to be suffering from true fowl cholera. 
Kill it without spilling any of the blood 
and burn the carcass; the carcass is dan¬ 
gerous. As everything that has been 
soiled by the droppings or blood of a sick 
bird is a source of danger to healthy 
fowls, quarters used by a sick flock can 
be made safe for further use only by the 
most thorough cleaning and disinfection, 
which cleaning and disinfection must in¬ 
clude eating and drinking utensils. Sick 
birds must, of course, be isolated until 
the nature of their trouble is known; they 
cannot be separated from healthy ones 
too soon. If possible, new quarters 
should be secured for the healthy fowls, 
while those previously used are being 
made safe for occupancy, but constant 
watch should be kept over the apparently 
healthy flock to remove any suspicious 
cases before they have had opportunity 
to spread the disease. M. b. d.

have to buy their oil from a dealer in¬
