Chiggers on Turl,evs

The question confronting most tur
key raisers at present is How can
manage my turkeys So as to reduce the
death rate Of the young hock:"
Most people can raise turkeys TO
three or six weeks In this there really
has been a change since we raised our
first turkeys. If in those days we
brought young turkeys 10 g weeks old.
We considered them safe at least until
the late fail, when we usually lost a
few and never could tell why they
died Last year and the year before
the report was prevalent that after the
turkeys We're 6 weeks old they seemed
to grow thinner day by day and finally
died without any apparent cause. Many
Of them were examined and no disease
revealed This was mentioned several
times in The Reliable Poultry Journal.
and correspondent Of The Journal
wrote the following. for which he will
please accept our thanks even at this
late day:
Tell Mrs. Mackey that the trouble is
the poults are killed by the chiggers
They do US more damage than any
thing else"
We presume this is the little grass
chigger which buries itself in the flesh
at least it does on people-and is very
hard to eXterminate and very painful
10 endure We had never thought Of
this. The only remedy known 10 US is
grease. and TOO much Of that is fatal TO
the poulrs. If the gentleman meant
mites. which often infest poultry build
ings, liquid lice killer and whitewash
will exterminate them. The houses or
coops must be whitewashed early in
the morning and well aired during the
day. II IS dangerous to use the liquid
lice killer for the little ones, as they
might be smothered by the fumes

gradually the egg yield increased. so
much SO that there is a neck To neck

and the animal meal fed hens

for green cut bone is animal meal We

DlARRHEA IN FOWLS.
DR.. Woods Describes Two Kinds and
Prescribes Treatment.

Simple Diarrhea.-A simple inflam-
nation Of the digestive organs causing
a whitish. yellowish or even greenish
diarrhea may result from a variety Of
causes. Climatic changes, long, tire
some journey, too much food or drink,
exposure too much "loosening" food,
such as meat. cat feed. bran, etc; over
dosing with pepper and condition pow
ders, foul water. becoming oyerheated
and exhausted from being chased,
want Of shade in hot weather damp
ness. uncleauliness. crowding and YER
min may one or all cause diarrhea. The
only treatment necessary in most cases
IS 10 remove the cause. Correct the
diet and provide pure water. In mild
cases the comb does not change color.
The feathers may be ruflled and the
fowl a little dumpish. \ little powder
ed charcoal in the mash food is an eff
fective remedy. II is good plan TO
keep cracked charcoal constantly be-
fore the fowls in q box like the grit
box. For obstinate cases of diarrhea
give the fowl a tablespoonful Of olive
oil 10 cleanse intestines. Feed Sparing-
ly and avoid grains with coarse hulls,
like oats and barley Decrease the
amount Of meat food. use less oats and
bran in the mash and use more mid
dlinss or some low grade -four in the
mash.
Diarrhea From Poisons.-Paints skins,
coarse salt. salt meat. white lead. I've
unslaked lime and fertilizers are the
more frequent poiSons which cause
darrhea in poultry. Sometimes arsenic.
paris green and spray mixtures also
cause trouble. Such cases Of poisoning
should he prevented by keeping all
such substances out of the reach of
fowls. The cases Of poisoning are sell
dom discovered in time TO save the
bird. The most common symptoms Of
poisoning with any Of the above named
poisons are sleepineSs, diarrhea. con-
vulsions or twitching of body, dump
ishness and sore mouth.

The food value Of the eggs consumed
in great city is nearly as great as
that Of the beef eaten in the same city.
This is a startling statement. but it is
supported by the evidence Of statistics
taken by the Paris city tax authorities.
Unless the Parisians are for some rea-
son unusually large consumers of eggs
the proportion will presumably hold
good elsewhere These facts are from
q paper read to the Paris Academy Of
Sciences by VI. Balland, who has en-
deavored by new and exhaustive anal
yses to correct the data given by previ-
Gus workers in this line. The egg as a
whole IS - per cent water and there

in for their share Of the glory, and so
the story runs We might name a
breed or rather a variety to you, but
you would not perhaps come to the rec

BONE AND ANIMAL MEAL.

Boyer, After Experimenting on Meat
Feed, Tells the Result.
Time and again we have referred to
the value Of meat in some form or 9TH
er to poultry, especially when they are
confined to runs. Fowls in free range,
especially in an orchard range, gather
q vast amount of bugs. worms and in
sects generally that furnishes them
with all the animal food they need.
But not more than five focks out Of a
hundred are able to enjoy the luxury Of
q large orchard. Hence. being deprlv-
ed of a natural supply Of this much
needed food, it is necessary for every
poultry keeper to look well into the
question and secure the very best that
can be had.
The green bone cutter has had much
to do in solving this important question.
but this valuable invention has also
had its battles to fight. Injudicious
feeding of green bone has developed
worms in the fowls that have caus-
ed considerable loss. 1t likewise has
caused irritableness Of stock. causing
much fighting, and in young stock it
has caused a too rapid growth of comb
and wattles. Understand the fault lies
not in the bone cutter nor in the green
bone so much as in the wholesale man
ner in which it is fed. A fresh meat
diet should be fed cautiously, not more
than an ounce for each hen and not
oftener than every other day
The difficulty in securing the green
bone in small towns and the labor at
tached to running some of the bone
cutters have also been cause for oppO-
sition.
