ScalY Legs.

The unpleasant condition known as
"scaly legs" comes from a parasite
which gets under the scales of the
fowls shanks One form of treatment
to serve as a preventive is given by
an Indiana poultry raiser as follows:
I take a quart can full of lard, coal oil
and crude carbolic acid and set the
can in an old bucket, piltng hot ashes
and some Goals around it. Then, with
swab made by wrapping rags on the
end of a stick, / proceed to the hem
house, and holding each perch over the
bucket, sliding it along as / grease, /
completely fill every crack and crevice
with the mixture. The lard cools rap
idly, leaving the perch very greasy,
and the legs of the fowls roosting on
such perches look very bright and
clean. 1t serves a two-fold purpose,

venting scaly legs. never had case

A FATHERS STORY.

From The EUensn0 Crescent, appleton, Wis.
A remarkable cure for disease which
has generally wrecked the lives of children,
and left them in condition to which death
itself would be preferred, has attracted a
great amount of attention among the res
tdents of the west end of Appleton.
The case is that of little Willard Creech,
son Of Richard D. Creech, a well known
employee of one of the large paper mills in
the Fox River Valley. The lad was attack ed
by spinal disease and his parents had given
ap all hope of his ever being we'll again
when, as by miracle, he was healed and is
now in school as happy as any of his mates

Eggs In Cold Storage.

An inventory of the cold storage
houses of this city shows that their
stock of eggs at the present time is
425,0OO cases, which will probably be
increased to 450, 1000 cases before the
houses close, about October 18th. AS
each case holds 80 dozen eggs, these
425,O0O cases represent the enormous
aggregate of 153, 900, 900 eggs. No eggs
except those which are absolutely
fresh and perfect are accepted by the
storage companies. Those which are
bought from firms who are known to
employ expert egg testers, are taken
without inspection, but in all other
cases every egg is "candled," that is,
held before light strong enough to
reveal any faint or imperfection. An
expert can examine in this way TWEEN
ty-five to thirty cases of eggs day.
The cold storage companies do heavy
Jobbing business in eggs, and book
their orders months ahead for delivery
at certain time. The business is so
we'll organized that there are no waste
products. Eggs which are not sufi-
GENTLY fresh to pass muster by the ex-
perts are sold to the bakers in tene-
ment districts, and even when they are
absolutely spoiled there is still mar
ket for them. Parts of these spoiled
eggs are employed in the manufacture
of Photographic supplies and in the
preparation of kind of shoe polish.
disinfectant is also made from them.
They are used in a process of tanning
leather, and the shells have some val
ue as a fertilizer. The states which
rank highest as egg producers are:
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Dakota,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and In
diana Among these Iowa takes the
lead on account Of the high quality
of the poultry raised there. The cold
storage houses will begin to dispose
of their accumulated product about the
first of January. They will then go out
by the car load to all parts of the coun-
try, returning perhaps to the very To-
calities in which they were purchased,
and by the first of March not case
may remain.

Age of a Hen.

1t is not so easy to tell the age of
hen as it is that of domestic animals,
says an exchange. Since the practice
or dehorning, the cows age can no
longer be ascertained by the number
OF wrinkles in her horn. The horse
and the sheep have teeth which dis
close their age, and it has been said
that the spur on the hen will disclose
her age. 1t is comparatively easy to
tell an old hen from young one, but
to come any ways near the exact age
Will require good deal of experience,
and even then it is difficult to explain
how others may do the same thing.
Nearly every housewife has a way of
telling the pullet from the hen by
the condition of the breast bone. APP
pearance is about all we have to go
by in ascertaining the age of a fowl.
The breast bone is all right, but the
pullet will have other indications in
her general appearance that will per-
nit the practical poultryman to dis
tinguish her from the hen. A pullet
looks bright around the eyes, and as
she grows older, like a person, her
head will show her age. 1t will be
well to remember, however, that If a
pullet is out of condition she will have
an aged look, and may at this time be
taken for hen. There is a young
look about the pullet, generally, that
the hen does not possess.

quite largely in the matter of fecund-
ity, upon the feed supplied to them
and upon the general conditions in
which they are kept. The SOW that
