CA7ING FOR THE CHICKENS
Not Be Crowded Into Filthy Coop—
Keep Houses Clean,
What's the use of jamming an old
mother hen into the coop with a brood
of chicks every night, making the
crowded coop more filthy and liable to
premote disease? Separate the cil
hen from the chicks at once, and get
her to laying. 2

simply because the - poultry have |

nandful- and see how quickly they de- |
vour it; then keep it before them cou-
stantly, at the rate of about a quart
for every fifty fowls three times a
‘week.
As all grass and other green feed
soon will grow dry and short, try
planting some small beds of lettuce,
beets and radishes in the poultry yard,
and when the plants come up and are
beginning to grow well, remove the

tender greenness to their satisfaction
and your profits.
The early chicks are the ones that
will make the winter layers. Oh; ves,
they’ll bring “in ‘a little more money
jast now than the later chicks, but
if you ever expect any improvement |
in your flock, and want to get, eggs
during the winter months, when’ they
"are the highest price, you'll have to
take a long-range, future squint at the
proposition, and act accordingly.
Don’t, for goodness’ sake, allow the
poultry to form the habit of roosting
out in the trees and the open places
during the. hot summer months. If
them roost right there till they are
caught by a severe freeze. By keep-
ing the poultry houses fresh and clean,
and furnishing plenty of ventilation,
all this frouble ‘of roosting ouside
may be prevented.
DRY MASH FOR LAYING HENS
Ground Grains May Be Mixed
About Equal Proportions by
Weight—Feed in a Hopper.
in
Cornmeal, wheat bran, wheat mid-
dlings and finely ground oats are suit-
able ingredients for a dry mash for
laying hens. Any one of these in.
gredients may be omitted without
seriously affecting either the health
or the egg yield, though it is an ex-
cellent plan to retain the wheat bran
on account of its laxative qualities.
These ground grains may be mixed in
about equal proportions by weight. Add
also, unless fed separately, finely
ground alfalfa or clover, a level tea-
spoonful of salt to each dry quart of
mash, and for the best egg yield 20 to
25 per cent of beef scraps and bone
meal in the proportion of 5 per cent.
Feed your mash in a hopper that
does not waste it. If you do not have
such, use a shallow box, 15 to 18
inches square and no more than 6
inches high. Cover the mash with
one-half inch mesh wire, and just a
little smaller than the box.
IMPROVEMENT CF THE FLOCK
Fowls for Show Purposes Require
Closer Inbreeding Than Those
intended for General Use.
After carefully looking over your
male birds if you do not notice any
predominating points which will tend
toward the improvement of your flock
it would pay you to purchase some
good male birds of the same breed
with the points desired. If your
flock has been too closely inbred it is
also advisable to buy males from an-
other flock. Birds for show purposes,
as the first consideration, require
closer inbreeding than those for utility
purposes. This is necessary to gain
any noteworthy headway, and it is car-
ried on by most of the successful poul-
try fanciers of today. There is a limit
to such line of breeding, and for best
results it requires study and careful
selection of the matings.

PREVENT DISEASE IN CALVES
White Scour and Lung Affection Are
Two Great Scourges—Latter Is
Caused by Carelessness.

The oe Y arent scourges in calf rear-
ing are the white scour and the lung
to be quite preventable.
The method requires extreme but
not laborious care in carrying out.
When this care is taken, satisfactory
results are obtained.
Investigation has proved: First,
that the disease is located in districts;
‘nd second, that it is more prevalent
where sanitary conditions are not per-
rect; third, that the disease is
contracted through allowing the infec-
tious matter of the place, when the
calf is dropped, to come into contact

with the navel of the young calf,
through which it finds its way into
the circulation of the animal.
The remedy is to have the place for
the young calf carefully cicansed, and
as soon as the calf comes into the
world, to dress the navel with a prep-
agation of carbolic acid; that will de-
stroy any infectious matter that may
attach itself to the navel
ported even when precautigns have
theory of infection.
‘Still, seeing that infection of dis-
known almost with certainty to exist?’
There are districts where this
scourge is unknown. Let a diseased
calf be brought in and the disease at
once appears.
All houses in which young calves
are reared should be made thoroughly
clean; a large application of disinfec-
tants should be made until the place
is purified. All calves should have
acid dressing as soon as they are
born, and they should be liberally sup-
plied with clean dry straw for bed-
ding.
Another disease appears to be a
form of contagious bronchitis. It is

generally fatal if it is allowed to run
unchecked for some time.
It is possible that this very serious
disease may be caused by allowing the
calves to remain out in the fields too
long in cold or wet weather.
Provide good comfortable, dry quar-
ters for the calves while they are
young. Let them have sufficient ven-
tilation in their houses, without
drafts. Allow them open air exer-
cise only on warm days, and not until
they are sufficiently strong to stand
even moderately cold weather. Never
allow a young calf to have its coat sat-
urated with cold rain water.
The principal matter to be borne in
mind is that all young animals taken
from their natural conditions of life
and living must have thoughtful care;
and it should not be necessary to ob-
serve that in the “managemeht of
calves, we are dealing with a valuable
farm asset that will repay consider-
able care.
