94 THE AMERICAN FANCIER'S Symptoms. This is a form of Crop=Bound. indigestion. The crop becomes extended with hard grain, pieces of bone arid undigested food. It becomes swollen by the moist secretions intended to digest the food, and the outlet into the stom- ach is closed by the pressure. Treatment. Warm water should be poured down the the throat of the fowl, and the crop should be gently kneaded with the hands for an hour or so. If this fails make a cut in the crop about an inch long, at the top, and re- move the contents with the handle of a spoon. Then pass a greased finger, after having pared the nail blunt, into the crop and find if it is clear. Sew the opening of the crop with white silk or horse hair. Then stitch the ■outer skin in the same manner; taking care that the stitching be only through one skin at a time. Feed on soft cooked food for a week and give a limited supply of water. Symptoms. A sudden change of Diarrhoea- diet; to much green food ; or a sudden change of weather may Dysentery, cause this disease. Treatment. If the looseness be observed early it can be checked at once by feeding boiled rice mixed with chalk powder.
