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,

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.

rain, and watch the little fellows go
down after the angleworms that
flourish at the bottom, and you will
see your chicks flourish also. The
currant brush 1s a good place.
One of the best ways to start is to
get gix hens, and grow.

Milk is an excellent food for grow-

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.

CARE OF THE POULTRY HOUSE
Lice and Mites Cause More Losses
Than All Other Things Com-
bined—Spray Is Urged.
(By J. 8. 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

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

Ing “Stop Louse” Roost Hangers

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.

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.
