I Most old people must give to the

suffer from constipation. The condi- !

natural as it is for old people to

active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels
must be kept active. This is im
portant at all ages, but never so much i
as at sfty.
Age is not a time for harsh phy
sics. Youth may occasionally whip !
the bowels into activity. But a lash
can't be used every day. What the

Precaution the Best Way
to Avoid Sickness in Poultry
RED PILE GAME BANTAMS
COPYRIGHT 1916
Almost from the beginning of poul
try culture, there have been fanciers
who sought to establish breeds of
Bantams, modeled on the shape and
type of the larger or standard va
rieties of fowls. The game fowl at
one time was the most popular fowl
in England, hence it is natural that
bantams of this fowl be among the
first originated.
Sixty years ago the Game Bantam
was short-legged, loose feathered,
carried a big spread tail and long
drooping wings; which paralleled the
standard Games of that time. About
1552 the first Game Bantams of good
quality were reported, and by 1567
considerable progress was shown, un
til now we have now even better
quality in the Bantams than in the
larger Games. They have been
brought to a high state of develop
ment in England, and many of the
best specimens have been imported by
American Breeders. This imported
Select Breeders Which Are
Physically Perfect and
Free From the Taint of an
Earlier Disease
Hatching, Brooding, Feed
ing and Housing All Influ
ence Future Welfare of the
Flock
By H. L. Goodwin.
Fancier and Well-known Breeder
COPYRIGHT, 1916
A knowledge of how to avoid sick
ness in poultry is one of the most
valuable assets the poultryman can
have: and. yet it Is. after all, a very
simple matter. Only tliree things arc
necessary to produce and maintain
this highly desirable condition, and
these three things arc pro|)er breed
ing. proper t«re and proper feeding.
WITHOUT a good foundation no
man would expect to build any
thing of great value. The health
and strength of a flock of poultry
depend very largely upon its founda
tion. In breeding or selecting the
stock from which to build up a flock
the greatest care should be taken to
start your strain from a line of ances
tors which have been physically per
fect and free front illness of any kind.
Like breeds like, and with strong
ancestors there is no difficulty in rais
ing a flock of strong young birds.
Filth breeds disease, and the greatest
care to avoid tilth is necessary even
from the time the hen is set or the
incubator is started.
If one is buying his foundation
stock, whether young birds or old
ones, it is wise to be pretty sure there
are no germs of disease lurking near,
and great care should be used in mak
ing your selection. If all is clean
about the place where the birds you
are looking at are kept, the chances
are that it is a good place to buy;
but if there are signs of filth every
where it is better to be cautious, for
where there is filth there is pretty
sure to be disease.
Disease germs do not often pene
trate the oviduct and a fresh laid egg
is usually free from them, though
germs may be acquired under a hen
in a very short time. Eggs rubbed With
a dampened cloth dipped in alcohol
will be absolutely free from germs,
and if then placed in a clean incu
bator or In a clean nest under a hen
that is free from lice and mites will
hatch chicks that are free from dis
eases of any kind, for inherited dis
eases are rare and can be absolutely
avoided by never using for breeding
purposes hens that have ever shown
signs of sickness.
Feeding Governs Future Conditions
In the first days of the chick s life,
even if they have been hatched under
the perfect conditions just described,
there are two great dangers—that they
will be overfed and that they will be
come chilled —either of which is likely
to prove disastrous. Although over
feeding is not as dangerous as chill
ing. either is likely to lead quickly to
white diarrhoea, and the two condi
tions combined is likely to result fa
tally to the entire flock, or at least
the greater part of it. But this does
not make it necessary to keep the lit
tle birds too warm or to starve them;
there Is a happy medium both as the
feeding and protecting them from
| cold, which is not difficult to reach
'if one uses judgment and care. A
I little food often, removed before it
j can become filthy or sour, water so
i arranged that they cannot get into it
and scatter it about, getting it on
themselves or the litter; coarse sand
or fine grit for the digestive organs, a
uniform temperature of 70 degrees or
thereabouts, and the little fellows have
all they need to make them thrive and
grow.
It is not the purpose of this article
to deal with the feeding of poultry,
but it may be said that proper feed
ing is of Ihe utmost importance. This
means that the birds should at all
times have a balanced ration suited to
their age and condition. With young
chickens in particular it is necessary
that they have everything they need
and nothing more, for they will often
eat all they can get, whether they need
it or not. Tt is quite important that
all food, either animai or vegetable,
which has soured or become putrid,
be kept away from them, and, indeed
i stock has been most successfully han
l died, and there is a specialty club —
The American Game and Game Ban
tam Club—devoting Its attention to
the development and extension of the
breeding of Game Bantams. •
They are exclusively a fancier's
fowl, for the eggs and carcasses are
not salable on account of their small
size. They require but little space and
small expense for feed, however, and
make excellent pets for the boy or
; girl.
The Red Pile Game Bantam is one
of the handsomest variety of the
breed. The color of the male is
white, excepting the head, neck, hack,
top of wings and secondary flight
feathers, which are red. The female
is white, excepting the breast, which
is salmon red and the neck, where
every feather is edged with lemon
color. The legs, feet and beak of both
are yellow.
from hens at all ages—or disastrous
results are quite likely to follow.
Plenty of fresh water at all times is
also essential to health. So are grit,
shell and beef scraps. Fine charcoal
in the dry mash is a great health pre
server and the hens like it and will
use It In the proper quantity if given
the opportunity. It should not be
given the little chicks before thev are
four weeks old, but after that a'little
will be good for them. If the young
chicks are given milk it should be
so fed that they cannot get into it or
scatter it about, for dampness from
milk is as bad as from water, and must
be avoided.
Filth the; Greatest Monaco to Health
A good many people get into the
habit of putting off until to-morrow
many of the things that ought to have
been done to-day. This will not do at
all in the care of poultry. It is work
to take care of a successful flock of
poultry, even if it is a small flock,
and it is work every day in the vear.
'»ne day or one week of neglect will
>ndo the work of a week or a vear.
There are no vacations on the "one
man poultry plant. All the many
necessary steps must be taken every
day, or some sort of disease or para
site. which is just as bad, will appear,
rhere must be dropping boards under
the roosts, and these must he cleaned
off every day. The roosts must be fre
quently washed with a good disinfec
n?. nt ~l kerosene is as S° od as anything.
Ine deep litter must he stirred up
e\er> day and. removed as often as
it shows the slightest signs of filth or
dampness, and new litter thrown in
its place.
The litter question is of more than
ordinary importance, for It is verv
necessary that the hens he kept active,
especially in winter when thev are
kept in close confinement. The grain
should be buried deep in the clean lit
ter so that they will have to dig for it
and dig deep. The hens will get fat
and lazy and will not lay unless thev
have to work for their food. In no
other way can they be induced to ex
ercise. Without this incentive some
times they will stand still and freeze
rather than move about.
Plontv of Sunlight and Air Necessary
A good many poultryhouses are
e " tlreI >' wrong principles,
notwithstanding the enlightenment
resulting from the extensive investi
gations of recent years. Every poul
trynouse should face as nearly south
as circumstances will permit, and
should never face the west or the
H 0 , 1 ?,. Thls is Particularly true in
cold climates, of course. The impor
tance of sunlight and fresh air can
not be overestimated, nor can the
danger from drafts, which produce
colds and eventually roup, and must
be avoided at all cost. It is abso
lutely essential that the houses be so
situated that they will get the early
morning sun In every nook and cor
ner, which means they must have
large windows and many of them, and
these should remain open at all times
except in extreme weather. With no
openings on the north or west, how
ever, houses can be so arranged that
windows may be left open even In
blustering weather without any
drafts reaching the hens.
The best way to ventilate a house
has been demonstrated to be by the

use of muslin curtains instead of win
dows, and this may be modiiied In
very cold climates by using part cur
tains and part windows. The curtains
may be closed in extreme weather
and there will still be plenty of air.
If windows are ali closed, however,
even In zero weather, the result will
be unhealthy conditions; the breath
of the birds will congeal, forming
thick coatings of frost on the walls
and ceiling, from which moisture will
quickly form, and sickness in the
flock will be the very quick result.
With closed glass windows extremes
of temperature are reached in the
twenty-four hours of the day, which
are very bad. Because of the frost
and dampness on the walls the great
est degreo of cold will be reached
during the night, and in the day time
the sun shining through the glass
will produce a far greater degree of
warmth than would be the case with
either an open window or a curtain.
This is often the cause of serious
trouble, and sometimes fatal epi
demics of contagious diseases result
from the continuation of such condi
tions.
With careful attention to such de
tails there need be no serious sickness
in any flock of well bred poultry.
111 Case of Sickness
There are many remedies offered
for the cure of the various poultry
diseases, but if proper conditions are
maintained there will be very little
need for them. The ax can be ap
plied to the sick bird as soon as a
malignant disease is discovered, for
unless it Is a show specimen which
has taken many awards, or has rare
winning qualities the affected bird Is
not worth the trouble and risk of try
ing to cure it. Kill it at once before
it has a chance to spread its trouble
to the entire flock, burn the carcass
then cleanse the entire section of the
plant that the sick bird has recently
visited, and the trouble will be ended.
In case of a severe epidemic, which
need never occur if sanitary conditions
are maintained, It will be necessary
to disinfect the buildings and all the
implements very thoroughly, and seed
down the ground used for the poultry
plant, transforming it again into a
fresh, clean spot, or the. disease may
be expected to crop out at some fu
ture time. Should lice or' mites ap
pear, they may be disposed of by the
use of a simple disinfectant, without
serious injury to the birds; but this
will be a job, and it is a job that
should not be delayed.
