Serious cases of chicken pox and roup might also be included. The poultry man's biggest asset right now is the floek of new pullets that are being developed for next winter's laying flock, and whatever he can do to protect, that flock so these birds "will continue to lay,. wOTth real money to him. • • • Culling a flock is one of the important things which Is most commonly neglected. There is also a neglect to procure and keep pure-bred chickens. Veriuin are commonly found in poultry houses. - • • Several poultry diseases are quite similar in many external symptoms. One or two additional symptoms usually, to the experienced, determine the accuracy of the superficial diagnosis. Post mortems prove the superficial diagnosis aad tker«|a lies experience.' Either whole oats or hulled oats may be used in a grain ration that is fed to chickens. However, hulled "oats makes a better feed because a large part of the fiber is removed and the birds will, therefore, get a bigger percentage, o* grain.
