THE  HENYARD 
Coccidiosis 
We  have  been  living  on  this  farm  about 
2 y2  years,  and  have  tried  to  raise  chickens 
and  turkeys,  but  we  have  lost  so  many 
that  I  have  decided  to  lose  no  more.  Our 
stock  is  well  fed  and  thrifty-looking,  and 
in  a  day  or  so  we  see  a  hen  with  diar¬ 
rhoea,  and  in  a  short  while  she  is  dead. 
We  thought  this  must  be  cholera,  so  we 
cleaned  out  and  sprayed  ceiling,  floor  and 
sides  of  henhouse  with  carbolic  acid 
water  and  gave  it  in  drinking  water  to 
hens  to  drink.  This  was  last  year’s  treat¬ 
ment,  and  it  did  not  work.  This  year 
we  have  a  fine  flock  of  Plymouth  Rocks, 
and  they  have  begun  to  die.  I  notice 
about  10  hens  with  the  whitiish  discharge 
on  the  back  feathers.  Could  you  tell  us 
what  you  think  it  is?  MRS.  J.  C.  D. 
Maryland. 
Your  trouble  is  not  from  cholera,  which 
is  a  disease  of  greater  fatality  and  sud¬ 
denness  of  onset  than  that  which  you 
describe.  It  is  evident  that  there  is  some 
chronic  condition  present  which  is  not 
manifest  until  the  latter  stages,  when 
deaths  occur.  Your  description  suggests 
coccidiosis,  a  disease  of  both  hens  and 
turkeys,  and  one  characterized  by  gradual 
loss  of  weight  and  strength  and  an  ac¬ 
companying  diarrhoea.  It  is  caused  by 
small  organisms  picked  up  with  food  and 
water  and  spread  by  the  droppings  of  dis¬ 
eased  fowls  and  birds.  Pigeons  are  very 
likely  to  spread  the  infection  to  healthy 
flocks.  This  is  the  disease  frequently 
called  blackhead  in  turkeys,  and  is  very 
fatal  in  them. 
Treatment  does  not  seem  to  be  very 
satisfactory.  The  remedy  usuallv  recom¬ 
mended  as  most  efficient  is  catechu,  a 
third  of  a  teaspoonful  to  each  gallon  of 
water  supplied  the  fowls  as  drink.  An 
occasional  dose  of  calomel,  a  one-grain 
tablet  to  each  fowl,  followed  by  a  physic 
of  from  two  to  three  teaspoonfuls  of  cas¬ 
tor  oil,  is  also  prescribed.  In  your  cir¬ 
cumstances  we  should  dispose  of  the  en¬ 
tire  flock  of  hens  and  turkeys  on  the 
place  and  clean  up  the  premises,  using 
hoe,  'broom  and  whitewash  brush.  Next 
year  we  should  secure  stock  from  some 
flock  known  to  be  free  from  this  disease, 
not  keeping  over  any  hens  or  turkeys  to 
possibly  reinfect  the  new  stock,  though 
apparently  themselves  free  from  the  dis¬ 
ease.  Fowls  showing  no  symptoms  may 
act  as  carriers  of  the  organisms  and 
transfer  them  by  means  of  their  droppings 
to  healthy  birds.  M.  B.  D. 
Color  of  Black  Giant  Chicks 
Chicks  of  Black  Giants  are  liable  to  be 
all  colors.  Some  may  be  nearly  pure 
white,  some  may  be  pure  black,  some 
may  have  the  appearance  of  Barred  Rock 
chicks;  in  short,  they  may  differ  greatly 
in  appearance.  We  are  at  a  loss  to  ex¬ 
plain  why  this  is.  Even  though  the 
chicks  vary  greatly  when  hatched,  most 
of  them  will  feather  out  properly  when 
they  have  matured.  This  seems  to  be  a 
characteristic  of  this  breed,  which  is 
probably  noticed  more  than  with  some 
other  breeds.  It  is  very  common  also 
for  other  breeds  to  have  a  different  color 
as  chicks  than  they  do  as  adult  birds. 
You  will  notice  much  the  same  thing  with 
R.  I.  Reds.  With  us  a  small  proportion 
of  the  Blacks  show  off  color  when  mature 
— such  as  a  few  white  or  gray  feathers, 
but  while  the  little  chicks  may  show 
nearly  as  many  colors  as  Jacob’s  coat, 
most  of  them  will  finally  plume  out  into 
solid  black. 
“Mamma,  what’s  this?”  asked  a  little 
four-year-old,  picking  up  a  calendar  her 
father  had  brought  home.  “It’s  a  cal¬ 
endar,  dear.  It’s  something  by  which  we 
tell  the  time  of  the  year  or  the  month 
or  week.”  The  little  one  turned  it  over 
carefully  for  a  minute  or  two.  “Mamma,” 
she  inquired  anxiously,  “where  do  you 
wind  it  up?” — Chicago  News.
