I  cannot  recommend  vaccination  as  the  serum  is  very
difficult  and  expensive  to  produce  and  different  breeds
of  birds  require  varying  doses,  therefore,  vaccinating
poultry  for  White  Diarrhoea  or  Fowl  Cholera  is  not  at-
tended with  any  great  degree  of  success.
WORMS

Cause  :  Few  fowls  are  entirely  free  from  worms.  The
soil  over  which  the  chicks  are  permitted  to  run  may  be
infected,  or  the  food  may  contain  the  eggs  or  embryos
of  worms.
Symptoms  :  The  presence  of  worms  in  fowls  may  not
be  at  once  detected,  since  only  a  close  observer  would
notice  them  in  the  droppings.  If  the  birds  eat  well  but
remain  poor,  and  the  feathers  appear  rough  and  the
comb  and  wattles  pale,  there  is  reason  to  suspect  the
existence  of  worms.
Treatment  :  Preventive  treatment  is  the  best.  Sprin-
kle the  runs  and  coops  regularly  with  Crude  Carbolic


244  THE   VETERINAEIAN

Acid,  undiluted.  Give  two  drops  of  Turpentine  in  twice
this  quantity  of  Sweet  or  Olive  Oil.  This  dose  should  be
repeated  in  from  six  to  eight  days  so  as  to  insure  the
expulsion  of  the  newly  hatched  worms  or  those  that  may
have  survived  the  first  treatment.
