FALL BEST TIME TO START BACK-YAED POULTRY FLOCK Autumn is the best time for the city poultry keeper to purchase his stock. An effort should be made to obtain pullets rather than older hens, and the pullets selected should be well matured, so that they will begin to lay before cold wea- ther sets in. Evidences of the maturity of pullets are the development and red color of the comb and a size and growth| | which are good for the breed or variety. Yearling or older hens will lay few or no eggs during the fall and early win- ter while they are molting. Well-ma- tured pullets, however, should lay fairly; well during this period. 5o that an imme- diste return is realized from the invest- ment. The purchasing of pullets in the fall is | preferable in some cases to purchasing| day-old chicks or to hatching chicks in| the spring.

This disease is frequently found in damp, poorly ventilated houses and is most often contracted by Dbirds that are poorly developed and of low vitality. Fowls of this type frequently get roup {and are the means of spreading it i i { throughout the flock. Obviously, preven- tion should consist of eiiminating the ! weaklings from the flock and providing a {house that will be dry and free from | drafts, but well ventilated. An additional prevention against this | disease is the following: Add as much { potassium permanganate as will remain jon the surface of a dime to each gallon iof drinking water and keep before the |fowls. This acts as an antiseptic and { will help to keep the birds in good con- { dition. An attempt to cure the individual | the majority of cases there may be an apparent cure, the danger of reinfection is great, and frequently such birds cause the disease to sprea¢ throughout the flock. The safest (#licy is immediately to remove such birds from the flock and kill them as soon as they show the first symptoms, recognized by a watery dis- charge from the nostrils or eyes.
