MISSOURI CURE FOR GAPES Disease Most Prevalent In Weather, Caused by Worm Chick's Windpipe. (By MRS, JOHN J. MOORE, Missourk) A most common disease among chickens and one which causes great loss in the summer {8 gapes This disease, which is most prevalent in cool, damp weather, 8 caused by worms, which get in the young chick's windpipe, causing It to gasp for breath and if not dislodged, shutting off its supply of air, Sometimes the worm can be twisted put with horsehair, but this is a severe remedy and other worms may take its place, The following 18 a preventative and will check the trouble at once: Obtain the leaves of the common woodworm, sometimes called Jerusa Jem oak, a plant which grows wild in Damp in most places, having an erect shrub bery stem and small, yellowish flow- ers, Its leaves when crushed have an unpleasant odor and are used in the manufacture of vermifuge and to protect clothing and furniture from moths and other insects, Mash the leaves and mix in a small | quantity with the chicken's feed or ' ( put in the drinking fountains. Or, after the seeds have ripened, | they may be used instead of the leaves and a quantity gathered for | future use, SIMPLE FEEDER FOR POULTRY | Automatic Device, Shown in Illustra | tion, as Practical as More Ex- pensive Contrivances. An automatic feeder for poultry, sim- ple in design, yet apparently as prac- tical as similar devices of more com- plicated and expensive design, is shown in the illustration. which is hung from any convenient support, comprises a grain container vrovided with a discharge opening at N_D A 7 Le Automatic Feeder. the bottom; a scoop pivoted under neath the opening, and a pendulum- like arrangement with a ball at its end. The chickens peck at this ball, thus causing the pendulum to swing, which tilts the scoop and allows a certain amount of grain to fall to the ground. Scratching Beds.

The currant brush 1s a good place. One of the best ways to start is to get gix hens, and grow. To successfully preserve eggs, per- fectly fresh ones must be selected, Remember that it is the profit per hen that counts, not the profit per flock, Milk is an excellent food for grow- ing chicks and, in fact, for any class of fowls. It does not require much hard work to keep a flock in good condition in the summer. The simplest form of intestinal dis- order to which chickens are subject is ordinary diarrhea. Better that the chicks roost in the trees than that they be confined in a vermin-ridden building. There can be no question that a lot of fowls die yearly from no other cause than a lack of food.

JEFFREY,) Tt 1s quite possible to have the best poultry kept in well-built houses, well fed, and still not get any profit or pleasure from them. In too many cases where a good start has been made the house is neglected and ak lowed to become filthy and infested with mites, It may be said that filth and mites generally go together, for while a house that is kept fairly clean Roary paper nasty boap wmiiosed hh Cousot Side Elevation of Poultry House. may be infested with mites, it is very seldom that a dirty house will be found to be free from these pests. Lice and mites cause more losses | among poultry than all other things combined. Poultry houses should be so ar ranged inside that the poultryman can keep down the mites without an undue expenditure of time and en- ergy. Mites live in a house and must be killed there. Dusting the hens will never get rid of them. The best means of getting rid of mites in the houses is to spray thor oughly with kerosene emulsion. This should be done twice with an interval of from five to seven days between the sprayings. ! The emulsion is made as follows: | Cut up one pound of soap and dissolve it in hot water; while the water is bot, stir in two gallons of kerosene and continue stirring for fifteen to twenty minutes, It is important to have the kerosene, soap and water well mixed, especially if it is not te be used at once, To this mixture add seventeen gallons of water. This / Two-Compartment Trap Nests, Show Ing “Stop Louse” Roost Hangers Above. makes a 10 per cent. emulsion. Some recommend 15 per cent. but we have found 10 per cent, efficient in killing the mites. Kerosene used on the roost onca a week in hot weather will help to keep down both mites and lice. If put on a short time before the hens go to roost, some of it will get on the feathers and will kill and drive away lice, Care must be taken not to get too much on the fowls, or it will blister them and this will stop the hens from laying just as much as the Hce will KEEP TAB ON AGE OF FOWLS Enables Poultryman to Cull Out Hens That are Unprofitable—One Method Favored. It is mere guess work to tell the age of a hen after she has passed the pullet stage. To the good poultryman it is important that the exact age of every fowl on his premises be known Hens that are past the age for profit should be culled out and their places taken by the younger stock. Legbandsa with numbers may be ‘used when the pulicts arrive at maturity, and, if rec ords are kept, the identity of each fowl is easily established. A less elab orate method, and one which no poul: trykeeper can afford not to follow, is to punch a hole in one of the four webs of the feet, each web represent ing a certain year. Special punched for this purpose may be purchased from any poultry supply house, but a small sized leather belt punch can be used to good advantage. The hole is punched very easily when the newly hatched chick is first taken from the nest or incubator. All of one season’s chicks may be marked on the same web, although if special he 1ingd are to be kept separately as high ad fifteen combinations can be used. If properly done the hole or traces of the scar will always remain and the identity of the fowl cannot be lost. Size of Pouitry House. Ag to the proportionate size house to the number of f only he who remembers that S¢€ half full ifs more profit in a hou than in a house twice full,” is safe from blundering at this point. The most level-headed practical poultry- men insist upon ten square feet per fowl. Contrast this with the room afforded 100 fowls in a 12x20 house, less than 2 1-3 feet of space to each (which is a common sight) and judge | as to the chances for eggs in the lat- ter case and take warning. h i eee eel Gre eee Foul Plot plot Foils a When a shameful exists be- | bowels to cause dis- | Dr en liver and tress by refusing to act, take They gently | compel right action of stomach, liv- and rastore your 25¢ er and bowels, health and all good at S.
