CHICKEN-Pox or Warts, 
The above is a blood disease, unknown 
in England and other temperate climates, 
is most virulent in South Africa, is pre- 
valent in various parts of the Common- 
wealth, and particularly aronnd Sydney. 
Mild cases have been seen in New Zealand, 
and although of frequent occurrence in 
the Southern States of America, it is in a 
‘simple form, and not regarded with any 
danger as here, where late hatched chicks 
succumb to it in thousands annually, In 
India, South Africa, and America it is 
known as chickenpox, and in Australia 
as warts, affecting chickens ‘only, usually 
appearing in the autumn, most cases oc- 
curring in the month of April. The 
Do Poultry Pay ? 
Yes, if you REGULARLY use

Poultry Food. 
POULTRY FOR PROFIT is a very inter- 
esting subject, and one that is not yet 
definitely settled in this country. How- 
ever, there is one thing certain, if Hens 
can be made to lay a large number 
of eggs, and they do not die from 
sickness, Poultry-keeping would pay, and 
pay very handsomely « ** KONDO” Poultry 
Food will assist the former, and by keeping 
the birds healthy greatly reduces the latter.

younger chickens usually succumb to it 
while in those of from three months and 
upwards deaths are rare, 
It is communicable from one to another, 
geuerally going right through a yard, even 
in birds which the owner theught had 
escaped, Such might not be the case, as 
the attack in different subjects is so 
extreme that one bird’s head and eyes 
may become a mass of eruption, while, in 
another, of the same brood, the only 
visible symptoms may be a ruffled appear- 
ance of the plumage, and languid gait, 
but when caught the subject may be just 
as feverish as the most severe case, This 
leads some breeders to think that in a 
country in which chicken-pox occurs, like 
the measles in children, every one is ex- 
pected to take them, and in the latter there 
are cases so mild that it is not unusual 
for a pareut to say that a child never had 
the measles, when such may have been in 
a form unnoticeable. The breeders who 
contend that warts or chicken-pox attack 
every chicken in the yard, point to the 
fact that although understood to attack 
chickens only, there are instances of adult 
birds taking it, these exceptions being 
cases which escaped it in chickenhood, 
and all evidence points to the disease 
occurring only once in the same chicken, 
or in other words, chickens which have 
had the disease become immune to further 
attacks, and seldom or ever does it occur 
more then once in the same individual
