Prevention of Disease.

The value of a single fowl is ordinarily so small that it will not pay to attempt a cure. The best recourse then for the poultryman is prevention of disease. Give the flock, advises Dr. Paige, of the Massachusetts experiment station, wholesome food and drink in proper amount, furnish it with a Suitable house and range, provide plenty of fresh air and sunshine with opportunities for enough exercise, and most of all secure cleanliness, a clean floor, clean roosts and a clean soil, and good results will follow. Remove at once from the flock any diseased bird and keep up the vigor of all the birds.
