The favus generally begins on the comb, crest or wattles—shown by gray or white, round or irregular spots, separated at first, but extend, multiply and become confluent or joined together, forming a thin, whitish covering over the diseased surface. The crusts gradu= ally become thicker, and in a few weeks form white dandruff- like scales; beneath these scales the skin looks excoriated and tender. From those parts first affected, and not covered with feathers, the disease spreads to the neck and other parts of the body and the feathers drop out. The cut shows a fowl suffering from favus. Treatment: Wash the diseased parts in a solution of one part Dr. Hess Dip and Disinfectant to 75 parts of water which will kill the fungi. A ten per cent. solution of nitrate of silver will destroy the parasite, but it turns everything black and looks bad. It should be ap- plied with a brush. A very sure and perfectly remedy is a saturated solution of sulphite or hyposul- phite of soda applied well over the parts ; this will destroy the fungi and be free from danger of poison. Feather Eating. Feather eating is a vice found most frequently in fowls slosely housed. Treatment; Remove the offending bird and watch for lew cases. Aloes made into a paste and applied to the feath- ers of the neck will sometimes disgust the offender. Better
