Chicks Dying 
How to stop it in 48 hours 
White diarrhea kills half of all the 
chicks hatched, yet this loss is easily 
prevented, easily stopped. For years, 
thousands of poultry raisers have 
stamped out the trouble almost entirely, by 
mtting Avicol in the drinking water. With- 
_h 48 hours, the sick ones are lively as 
crickets. Mrs. Wm. May, Rego, Ind., says: 
“I was losing 15 chicks a day before I re¬ 
ceived the Avicol. I haven’t lost one since.” 
Avicol costs nothing to try. Readers are 
urged to write to Burrell-Dugger Co., 307 
Allen Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., sending 50c 
as a deposit for a package by mail prepaid 
(or $1 for large size holding nearly 3 times 
as much). If you prefer, send no money but 
deposit the money with the postman on 
delivery. If Avicol doesn’t stop your chick 
losses immediately, if you’re not fully sat¬ 
isfied, the money deposited will be promptly 
refunded by the manufacturers.

iA PY HEN REMEDY CO., 
Roi t 1! , 33 i3j. i A rkec S ., Bo'too, Mass. 
chicks have been put in the brooder. 
One of the common charges often brought 
against the dealer is that of white diar¬ 
rhea. Such a disease will not appear 
two or three weeks after you have re¬ 
ceived the chicks; the spread and infec¬ 
tion of this plague takes place in the 
incubator and baby chick box itself, and 
the chances are that the chicks will look 
far from right when you receive the ship¬ 
ment. 
Any dealer, acting in good faith, ought 
to welcome the information which estab¬ 
lishes this disease in his flock because it 
gives him a chance to stamp it out and 
saves his business from ruination. But, 
before a poultryman can make a claim 
for white diarrhea a scientific labratory 
analysis is necessary. We may be sure 
that the chicks have it but the germ can 
only be discovered with a microscope, and 
the place to get such information is by 
sending a specimen of the infected chicks 
to an experiment station at some college 
or university where the proper analysis 
can be made. 
Symptoms of White Diarrhea 
The symptoms of white diarrhea,— 
droopiness, plastering up behind, whitish 
or yellow discharge sticking to the down, 
and a high mortality, are symptoms 
which can also be applied to other 
troubles, which may appear long after 
the diarrhea stage is passed. Chilling 
or overheating of chicks result often in 
similar appearances altho generally the 
mortality is not so great. Poor quality 
or improper food will always start diar¬ 
rhea but not infectious, for white diarrhea 
is hereditary and goes- from chick to 
hen and hen to chick in an unending 
cycle. But chilling and feeding are a 
poultryman’s problems and a loss from 
any of these causes can hardly be charged 
against the dealer. 
There is another matter of extreme 
i iportance. 1 very year the Post Office 
handles millions of chicks and their 
splendid co-operation is what has made 
the baby chick business possible. They 
are anxious to render prompt and satis¬ 
factory service; they are glad to adjust 
losses which come under their jurisdic¬ 
tion. It is your privilege, and you have a 
right to insist upon it if you will, that all 
shipments can be opened hi the presence 
of your postmaster. This is a goo 1 ti e 
to run down any trouble if there is any, 
for jou have a good, reliable party as 
your witness. But if the chicks are 
satisfactory and look and act all they 
ought to be, the post office and the dealer 
are eliminated from any further claims 
for damages, unless white diarrhea makes 
its appearance later. 
Pointers That May Save Ch'cks 
There are a few minor points that 
would clear up the death of many hundred 
chicks annually. Dealers should keep 
customers posted as to about when chicks 
will arrive. The customer can be further 
helpful by keeping in touch with the post- 
office. Sometimes a day or more is 
wasted because the customer cannot be 
located. It helps to ruin the chicks. 
Still another cause comes from the 
brooder. Do not wait to start your fire 
after the chicks arrive. Start up two or 
three days before you know they can 
possibly reach you. It gives you a chance 
to see if the stove works, and if the house 
is really in good shape to put your chicks 
in. Then when they come you can get 
them out of the boxes immediately and 
you have done your best to give them a 
good start. 
So much for buying and selling. It 
is one great big co-operative movement. 
The dealer, the post-office, and you are 
the parties concerned. Co-operation 
means pull together, more chicks, less 
loss, and a good start for 1924.
