Permanganate of Potash as a Disease 
Preventive 
IIow much potassium permanganate 
should be used for chickens as a preven¬ 
tive of the white diarrhoea? Is it used in 
water or milk, and how much per gal¬ 
lon ? 0. B. R. 
Don’t use any. Potassium permangan¬ 
ate is not a preventive of white diarrhoea. 
Bacillary white diarrhoea, the most seri¬ 
ous of the disorders characterized by a 
whitish discharge, is caused by a germ 
that is either transmitted to the chick be¬ 
fore hatching, through the egg, or picked 
up by it in food or water during the first 
few days after hatching. It is thought 
to be not transmissable after the first 48 
hours by contact. Other white diarrhoeas 
are caused by improper feeding or brood¬ 
ing, being simple diarrhoea with a whit¬ 
ish discharge. To avoid bacillary white 
diarrhoee, hatch only from disease-free 
flocks, and do not allow newly hatched 
chicks to come in contact with diseased 
ones or their quarters. 
Potassium permanganate is a feeble 
germicide, which may prevent the growth 
of undesirable germs in drinking water, 
but can probably do little else. It may 
be given in any strength that fowls will 
accept, enough to color the water a wine 
red being the usual formula. Needless to 
say, this is a very variable amount, but, 
since the value of the drug is largely 
imaginary, it will do. M. b. d. 
Bred for egg 
production* 
To prove how good Lively Chicks are, 
pens of our breeders were entered and 
won high place in the 1923. Interna¬ 
tional Laying Contests. 
“Bred for egg production” is the story 
of Kerr Chicks in four words. Our 
culled laying flocks of pure-bred, farm- 
raised hens are headed by cockerels 
whose dams made high trap-nest rec¬ 
ords. 
For exceptionally heavy layers try out 
Hollywood White Leghorns. Norfolk 
Spec. Farms Barred and Fishel White 
Rocks, Martin White Wyandottes and 
Sked Bros. Rhode Island Reds, the 
outstanding laying strains of these 
respective breeds. 
100 per cent safe delivery by mail, 
alive and vigorous, is fully guaranteed.
