Coccidiosis has made Us appear¬ ance III several llocKs of cliickens in the county, according to County .^gent IJ. L. Coleman. Tiie chick¬ ens suflering from this disease usually recover in a week or fen days, wlien fed a ration rich In milk.
.\ ration that has proven satis factory to a iiumber of growers is composed of ¦!•• iiounds of pow dered milk. :!0 pounds of yellow corn meal, 20 iiounds of repround rolled oals, and io pounds o( bum. The Hock sliould not reeeive nny snatch grain while getting thlM ireatmeni.
Coccliliosls usually effects chick¬ ens between three and twelve weeks of age. The lirst symptoms are loss of yellow from the beaks nnd shanks of the chicks. Kffectcd chicks usually pass blood In their droppings nnd act very sleepy. If If Is possible to confine the cliicK.^ to the brooder houses, this will eliminate tho danger of soil con- tainlnnllon. Brooder      houses
should be cle«ne<l daily lo elimin¬ ate the possibility of reinfection.
Coccldlosis Im more easily pre¬ vented than cured, and this may be done* by removing all Htter and cleaning the house thoroughly ev¬ ery (Ive days.
