Symptoms—The frequent evacuation 
of loose or liquid feeces, usually of a 
frothy and watery nature. 
Treatment—A teaspoonful of castoroil, 
followed by 5 grains of rhubarb, and 10 
grains of carbonate of soda, or a grain of 
opium. Chlorodyne, 3 to 6 drops in a 
- dessertspoonful of water or Port wine, is 
especially serviceable. In severe cases I 
have found a pill containing a grain each 
of tannic acid and opium effectual. 
~ Diarrhoea, however, is almost. invariably 
due to the presence of irritating matter, 
and should, therefore, not be checked at 
the outset with astringments, which. are 
so often and unwisely perscribed : 
During the attack, and for a little 
time after its abatement, the bird should 
be fed on soft food, and have no green 
vegetables 
ROE young chicks, half a teaspoonful 
of salad oil is preferable to castor oil, and 
chlorodyne should be given in one drop 
doses in a teaspoonful of warm milk or 
barley water } 
The doses particularised above are for 
a medium sized fowl.

Over-feeding, impure water, fouldishes, 
bad air caused by accumulations under 
the roosts, draughts-of air caused by poor 
ventilation, open cracks or broken win- 
-dows, vermin and neglect in cleaning the 
houses and yards are all causes of disease 
in poultry.

White Leghorns in the 12-months’ egg- 
laying competition under Government. 
control at-Subiaco, Western Australia, 
has secured first place with a total of 
1,411 eggs. The second pen was a locally 
oweued pen of Golden Wyandottes, with 
a score of 1,400 eggs. This win finishes 
a splendid year for Mr Padman He 
came first in Queensland with a worid’s 
record of 1,538 eggs; second at Rose- 
worthy, South Australia, with 1,528; and: 
first at Berowra, New South Wales. This 
shows what South Australian-bred birds 
_ are capable of doing,
