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.

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.
Next week's article, by one of the
highest authorities in the country
on this . subject, will be most in
teresting. Look for it next Satur
day, appearing exclusively in the
Telegraph.

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. This

I' r T was a pleasant sight to see the greening fields and the
first blue birds and robins—a striking contrast to the
broad blanket of snow that last evening's storm pre
sented us.
_ This, and numerous other kinds of weather must
ngpTM expected in March, but Spring is in the foreground,

pretty new things of the season all a'blossom.
Before another week elapses, the whole store will

at its birth, or it fan be taken In j 1
from the shell of an egg that is in- : s
fected. or in the babyhood of the
chick it can be eaten with food or It
drunk with water. ♦ | e
It is very contagious, and a single j f
case in a flock can be quickly com- c
municated to the entire family. Treat- s
ment is unsatisfactory; prevention, r
and fighting the disease when it does
appear are about the only methods
that will do any good.
It is recommended to give the chicks t
scalded sweet milk, to which is added j (
a little grated nutmeg. Repeat this • t
three or four times a day. Boiled rice I f
should also be fed, and powdered char-1|
coal should be mixed in the.mash. L
Feed green food. Add permanganate i
of potash solution to the drinking wa- ; <
ter, as advised above in cases of colds, j
As a precaution, hens suffering i
with bowel troubles should not be I
used for breeding.
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."
They used a solution made of eight ]
quarts of water and one gill of the tar |
j product. This mixture was placed iu j
la tank and each tray dipped into it. I
i Immediately after dipping, the tray of j
j eggs was placed back in the incubator. I
land the machine kept dark while the j
! eggs were hatching. After each hatch j
jthe interior of the incubator should j
also be disinfected.
Stamp Out Disease
But reliance upon disinfectants must |
• not be final. We must go farther into
jthe matter in order to stamp out thej
disease. We must endeavor to ascer
tain the source of the infection. It
I has been shown that'this germ has!
| continued to live in the bodies of hens.

chase of baby chicks. 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.
