Usually striking iuring the cold, wet weather of fall and early winter, cholera is often an unnoticed invader until birds are found dead the roosts or in the nests. The. onset of Ms disease is so rapid that'death frequently results before outward symptoms are observed. However, when birds do linger on briefly before dying, they may show these symptoms: sudden list- iessness, ruffled feathers, loss of appetite, yellowish-green diarrhea, and a dark purple discoloration of the comb, face and wattles. A post mortem examination of an affected bird usually reveals a liver that is light in color, either overall or in streaks.

A characteristic fotil odor is usually noticed when a cholera-affected bird is opened. In order to he certain of the diagnosis, it is best to have it determined by a poultry-disease specialist. Cholera organisms can be seen in the fowl's blood with the aid pi a high-powered microscope.

Specific Medication Against the ravages of acute fowl cholera, specific medication plays an important roie. One of the most valuable drug for treating this disease is sulfaquinoxaline. When this agent is administered, cither through the feed or the drinking water, immediate losses from mortality are usually checked in a short time. Sanitation is very important in controlling cholera in the flock. Move affected birds to clean ground or a clean house.
