Proper nutrition is the second rule of health. Some diseases are caused by a ration lacking certain elements, while others are due to eXCEIEIvc ' ” of some feeds. Rlclreta and Nutritional Roup are deficiency diseases. whereas Obes- ity and Gout are attributed to ex- ceas of unbalanced nutrition. A balanced cereal ration with meat scrap and she" r" is regular allowance.ef green feeds. -' clean water. IIIOUAU contain all the vital elements of nutrition by birds.

The third rule of health-la g surroundings: that is. roomy, e - fortahle. well ventilated Poultry houses. free from drauglits or dampness. and with ample pro- vision for exercise and suitable exposure to the direct rays of the sun.

Large flocks should be divided into smaller units for convenience in care and feeding and as an aid to disease prevention. Birds of various ages and. of different species should be kept separate. occidloais: This disease. which is often characterized in bloody droppings, is one of the main causes of poultry losses. Cocci” ' is a disease caused by an organism so small that it can be seen only through a micro- scope. There are seven different kinds of coccldlosls organism. 01' coccidia as they are called. that infect poultry. Each one of these strains causes slightly different symptoms of the disease. One strain causes bloody droppings but other strains do not. Therefore. one cannot say that cldiosls is present only when there is blood in the droppings. Some strains of coccldia are more deadly than others and this. along with vary- ing intensity of infection. accounts for the fact that in some cases a whole brood of young birds may die and in other casu the birds do not die but become stunted in growth.

Accidents don't happen - they are caused. The best way to keep from causing accidents is to adopt igood farming practices. Besides this we should learn to observe haz- ards or danger spots about the farm. Then on noticing these haz- ards. action to remove these should begin at once. Let us consider how accidents may be prevented- Flrst of all everyone should put things where they bt?l0nl1- The” should be a place for everything and then. everything in its place. Here are a few examples: The stable - have a special closet or rack for forks and shovels. one never knows when an animal may become crippled by stepping on a fork. lf poisons and the first-aid chest are kept in the stable. have all containers plainly marked and so placed that neither children nor animals would be able to get into trouble. Prctruding nails. spikes and sharp ends of broken hoards should be removed.

Let's go to the loft - how about that ladder? Are all the rungs in place. sound and not rotten. and is the ladder strong enough to hold twice the weight of the heaviest man on the farm'.' Remember. often heavy materials may have to be carried up or down the ladder. The floor of the loft should also be inspected. Openings. rot- ten boards and loose flooring should be replaced or repaired so as to prevent people falling

through.

Next, the yard -what can be done in the yard? First let's make sure the fences are strong and substantial. old fence wire. metal scrap heaps, old pieces of
