' COPYRIGHT, 1915 Single Comb Rhode Island Reds By I.ouis Paul Graham j This is one of the greatest American j breeds. It has taken its place in popu | larity with the Plymouth Rock and | the Wyandotte. Ulce all American breeds it was originated to ill! a cer j tain need of the American markets, •land, as it happens the markets in this instance were Boston and Providence, i wl.ich required rich, brown eggs, and ! I good yellow skinned, yellow legged 1 1 j fowls of reasonably heavy weights. At the time it was popular to cross j I Leghorns. Malays, ete., on Cochin andj 1 i Brahma hens. These crosses produced j. j chicks which were rapid growers and I, 1 reached early maturity. The comblna- j i tion also produced pullets that were' j heavy layers and the general color of! i the plumage was red. Brown Leg-!: I horns and Indian Games were crossed' l and recrossed on the progeny succes- ; ; sively, and the "little red hen of I r Rhode Island" became famous among; commercial poultrymen. After many years of practical use, j I some fanciers became interested in the I | bred and a few were exhibited at ! poultry shows during the later 'SO's. >, 1 In 1892 they were exhibited at Phlla-j' delphia as Golden Buffs. Some speci-i I mens rose and some single combs) (and the breeds were developed as! j Rhode Island Reds. , | Their fanciers were very enthusiastic ! I and energetic. Competition to breed ! ! and exhibit the best specimens was I I keen. 1 I The hens lay big brown eggs and'] J many flocks and individuals have es-:, t tablished high records for a year's lay-!; King. The chicks are strong, vigorous!" [and make rapid growth. When full j, | grown, the males weigh from 7 H to 1 i 8 pounds; females, u'i to 6V4|, i pounds, although many specimens ex- 1, jleeed these weights. The pullets ma- . ! ture early and lay well, and the breed , I; has proven itself one ot' the very best,:, j both for the backyard man, where , space is limited, and the farmer, where h la good rugged, husky lien is needed.' jThey make most excellent yellow skin- I, . ned broilers and grow evenly so that l ! | the chick can be profitably marketed I ( !at almost any age from broiler size!, to maturity. \ I, Best Results ! < From Incubators Incubators lack but one thing— 1 intelligence. The poultrvman must • supply that. Yet the best incuba- j tors, properly regulated and started right, are more dependable than most of the hens. An incubator is always on the job. Still there are things to be done and others to be left undone, if best results are sought. Proper ' amount of heat and ventilation must be given consideration. The location of the incubator is a fac tor, whether a cellar or a living room. Freedom from draughts is j to be assured, and a lot of seem- | ingl.v small matters must be looked after —for the operator has to do I the thinking for the machine which I has dethroned the natural hatcher —the hen.

AND OTHER DISEASES Best Treatment For Devastat ing Ailment Among Yoang Chicks Colds, Roup, Etc., Are Prev alent at This Season of the Year Also i H> MKIIAIX K. BOYKR. Poultry Kill tor of the Farm .Imiriiul, COPYRIGHT. 1915. Cleanliness and disinfection are j amoiiK the liest preventives of ills, eases anion:; eliiekens. But some! ailments seem to l>e transmitted from i the mother lien, and such eases can j only IK- treated in a scientific manner. . White diarrhea is one of the most i devastating of this class, and for a 1 time it luifflcd poultry experts. The | elimination of the stoek affected is the surest method ol' orcvcnlini; its spread. Hut for colds, roup and other (lis- , eases that chickens are subject to there are uell tried-out treatments that can In- counted on to cure if the ease is; taken in time and intelligently han- . died. The following article is there- j fore tiiuely at this season. Much of the sickness prevalent (Hir ing early Spring can be prevented by absolute cleanliness and regular disin fection of the premises. It should be the rule to clean up the droppings daily—if possible—and eaeli and every month give the entire interior of the j houses a good disinfecting. A spray I pump is a verv important implement I on a poultry farm. All this, coupled ' with plenty of fresh air, and with houses so constructed that sunlight can enter and dry up any moisture. that might be present, will do more 1 good than a ton of cures after the i fowls are sick. For disinfection there is nothing j more effective than coal tar products. These are diluted in water and make an excellent spray. Fowls that liave been properly win tered will be in good, strong health in Spring, but it is well to give them a tonic, such as rusty iron placed in the drinking water; or a tabiespoont'ul of permanganate of potash solution to a pail of drinking water This solution is made by adding an ounce of the potash to a quart of water. Keep it in a bottle. This bracing up will pre vent many cases of colds incident to Spring. Sneezing, watery eyes, rat tling in the throat and other symp toms of colds are apt to show them selves in the months of February, .March and April in Hocks that are overcrowded —the weather at this season being very changeable, the fowls alternately "sweat" and chili, especially at night when on the roost. In the brooding of early chicks care must be taken not to overcrowd, for it is a very small step from colds to roup, and if the colds are not nipped in the bud roup is pretty sure to ap pear. Remedies For Colds My favorite remedies for colds are permanganate of potash in the drink ing water, daily, and a one-grain qui nine pill each night for a week. The sick bird must lie removed from the rest of the flock and kept in a warm, dry place and fed soft, nourishing food. Roup or cholera very seldom at tacks the fowls of the veteran poul tryinan, as he is constantly on the watch. His fowls are not pestered to death with lice, and he nips all ail ments in the bud. Of late years a new trouble has arisen, that for a time baffled the poultrymen of the country. It is what lis known as bacilliary white diarrhea among chicks, especially those hatched by incubators. This disease is due to a germ life that is deposited in the yolk of the egg. Scientists claim that this germ is conveyed in the ovaries of the hen, and it is in the small yolks as they lie in the abdomen. These germs, with the yolk, are absorbed into the abdomen of the chick just prior to its emerging from the shell. When a chick has white diarrhea it wants to be alone and takes no inter est in what may be going on about it. The wings drop and the feathers be come rough. The appetite is very poor or entirely gone, and every movement it makes seems to be a great effort. Then follows the whit ish discharge from the vent, which sometimes is of a creamy nature, and at other times it is mixed with brown, but in either case it is more or less sticky or glairy. Quite frequently it sticks to the down in sufficient quan tity to stop the bowels. The chick seems to be in great pain, chirping or peeping continually, and, when at tempting to void the excreta, will give a shrill cry. In the majority of cases ■ the chick lias the appearance of be- | ing "short backed" or "big bellied." While chicks often die with.but lit tle warning, and showing but few of the above symptoms, in most cases they linger for a long time, showing all the symptoms mentioned above. Disease Attacks Young White diarrhea does its deadly work with chicks a month old or less. If the disease is not fatal at that age, the patient is apt to live and mature, and, if a pullet, will carry the disease in its eggs to future generations.

Dipping the eggs in a good disin-1 fectant before placing them in the in cubator, or under the hen. has done! great work in preventing this disease. A year or so ago the writer had cor- j respondence with a large poultry farm ! in Maine that was experimenting on j dipping eggs, ami in one of the letters : the manager said: "We dip all of our eggs in a coal tar product, and believe I that it helps to make the chickens j more healthy: that is. more free from ! white diarrhea, etc.. later."

The breeder, his methods and the condition of his stock are well worth investigating. After the chicks are a week old there is no danger of having the dis ease transmitted to them through the food supply. But up to this time the chicks should be kept in small flocks, and the food and water vessels so ar ranged that It is not possible to have either contaminated by the droppings. The bottom of the brooder should be covered with a good amount of fine, absorptive litter, like alfalfa meal, which will quickly cover and seal up the loose droppings. The brooder should not only be well dis infected, but kept in clean condition. [INCUBATORS; FOR SALE ) 5 u*ed lneiibator*, In Kood eon- J 1 | dltion. . ♦ Hrlle City. I Ml-ejtg '..
