CHICKENS AND BEES.

Little chicks should not be kept on
a bare plank floor.
Warmth is as necessary as feed in
the early life of a chick.
A hen must have big money value
to make it pay to doctor her.
Do not think because the little chick
has soft, downy coat it is a warm
one and let the little fellow get
chilled.
A cold, wet coop for little chicks
will knock off all the profits from the
early Matched broods. You will be
well paid to act upon the suggestion
in this note.

they should have constant supply

and when flowers are not furnishing
it to them, they should be fed. This
will enable them to breed up very
strong, otherwise they will not do so.

Liver Trouble in Fowls.

Recently a poultryman talked in
public of liver trouble in fowls and
expressed the opinion that it is to be
met with almost entirely in turkeys.
We are certain that it exists to con-
siderable extent among chickens, but
rs often not recognized as such.
When apparently healthy fowls drop
over dead it is sometimes, if not FREE
quently, due to this trouble. The
writer had this trouble in his flock at
one time, and ascertained the facts
in the case by an autopsy on the
fowls, which autopsy showed the liv-
ers enormously dilated with the
blood that had been drawn from the
heart and all other parts of the body.
It is probably a germ disease.--Earu.
ers' Review.

SNUG POULTRY QUARTERS.

should project on all sides at least
two feet to protect the walls from
moisture. Rafters and three-fourths-
inch lumber, covered with dirt or sod,
make the roof. Poles and brush may
be used instead of lumber, but are not
so good.
The most nearly ideal house of this
kind I ever have seen is illustrated
herewith. It is 14x38 feet, outside
dimensions, and contains two rooms.
The roosting room is 1Ox1S feet, in
side measure, and contains two Sec
tions of swinging roosts, each 6xS
feet, leaving a passage at each end
and three-foot passage the whole
length on the south, where the three
windows are located. There is stove
pipe ventilator in each room, which
can be partially closed in winter. The
roosts are about 2h feet from the
\ floor and swung on fence wire from
the cross sections at the roof.
Opening from the roosting rooms is
the scratching and nest room, which
is 10x14 feet, inside measure. In sum-
mer it is used only for nests. These
nests run the entire length of the
room on the north and across the ends,
except where the doors interfere.
They are two feet deep-if fowls are
large they could be lower-and filled
up about one foot with cut straw. On
the south are two full-sized windows,
giving plenty of light and sunshine for
winter, and easily blinded in summer,
when SO much light is not practicable.
Floors are of dirt, covered with
straw for scratching or swept clean
when summer comes. Fowls will lay
the whole season. They are warm in
winter and cool in summer, and they
seem to like the dirt walls better than
any other kind know of. For cheap
ness, comfort and convenience, the
sod hen house has not an equal.-Mrs.
L. M. Luton, in Farm and Home.

How to Destroy Foul Brood.

While foul brood is easily caught,
it is only done by contact, usually by
working on diseased matter. Bees
thus carry and introduce it to the
larvae in their own hive. Beekeep-
ers should examine their bees and
clean up all dead colonies and all inn
pure matter. as soon as possible, and
if you find any brood with the wrong
or backward presentation, you can be
sure it is diseased and will die. Bees
thus affected may be transferred on
to foundation and fed with sugar
strip or pure honey, but if they are
very badly diseased at this time of
the year it would be best to dispose
of everything except valuable hive.

Lettuce for the Chickens.

Lettuce is the best green food we
have ever tried for chickens in confine-
ment. They will turn from clover in
any form and greedily devour lettuce
in any stage of its growth if it is given
to them fresh, or any time before it
willis. An ordinary sized breeding pen,
say, from five to ten, will eat about
eight good-sized punches or stalks
three or four times week, and eat it
clean, too. By drilling it quite thick
in the rows and cutting (not pulling)
it close to the ground when gathering
it for fowls little patch" of ground
may be made to yield sufficient
amount for quite flock during an en-
tire season. Try patch next spring.

GRIT FOR POULTRY.
Some Reasons Why 1t Should Be
Kept Constantly Before the
Hens in Some Form.

There are two kinds of grit needed
to be successful in the poultry yard,
one of keeping right in the business
in spite of discouraging difficulties,
the other substance taken by the
hen into her crop for the grinding of
the food.
Go into your poultry house at even
ing, when the hens are on the roost,
walk quietly up to drowsy old biddy,
lay your ear carefully over her dis
tended crop and listen; you will hear
the process of digestion going on. You
will then realize the necessity of grit
and plenty of it in the poultry bust
ness.
There are two kinds of prepared
grit on the market to-day, the broken
oyster shell and the mica grit. The
oyster shell is eaten very greedily by
the hens and also aids greatly in the
quality of the shell of the egg.
The mica grit is little higher in
price, but as there is no waste in dust.
as in oyster shell, the hens do not eat
it so greedily; still they eat all that
is necessary for digestion, and as it
lasts SO much longer in the crop it is
much the cheaper grit to buy, and will
also keep your hens from eating eggs.
1t is a very necessary thing for young
turkeys and will surely bring them
home at night if it is constantly kept
where they have access to it.
I'found one year my young turkeys
got the habit of going to distant
neighbours. I followed to know the
reason for it and found it was char
coal they went for, something they
did not have at home. I purchased
grit for them and had no more trou-
BILE.
But when a large number of fowls
are kept, the utmost economy must be
exercised and in regard to grit among
the rest.
would advise keeping grit con-
stantly before the poultry in some
form.
The best place for broken crockery
and glass is to pound it for the hens,
also charcoal, hard coal ashes and
broken bones will be eaten greedily
by the hens.-Clara Ransome, in Ma
tional Rural.

Every western farmer may have one
of these comfortable houses with little
cost and comparatively small amount
of labor. The sod may be turned at
any time in the year when the ground
is not frozen. A firm, well-grassed sod
is best, but other will do, the only diff
ference being in the length of time
the building will last. The walls are
laid up with bricks of sod about 12X12
inches and laid like bricks with the
exception of the cement, nothing of
that kind being used. The sod is

diseases. 1t is sometimes spoken of
as the winter disease. The symptoms
are hoarse breathing, swelled eyes,
discharge at the nostrils and some
times fetid breath. Treatment is
not generally satisfactory. The af-
fected birds should be removed, the
house cleansed and disinfected.
Damp, foul air and cold drafts in the
poultry houses should be carefully
avoided whenever fowls are subject
to roup. A decrease in the proper

FROM DEATHS DOOR.

Hillsdale, ILL.,, April 29th.-Much in
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
in dying condition for several
months with an apparently incura BILE
Kidney Disease.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case hopeless
one, and others from Port Byron,
Geneseo, and Davenport, Ia, had at
tended him, and in consultation de-
cided that he could not live.
In desperation, his nephew inquired
of Mr.. l.. F. Giles, local druggist, as
to last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve,
and within few weeks was able to
be up and about, completely cured
His cure is the talk of the neigh
hood, and is considered nothing short
of miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that
this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
will cure any case of Kidney Disease,
for the more malignant forms, such
as Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and
Dropsy, yield readily to its remark
able influence. These forms of
Chronic Kidney Disease have hitherto
been considered incurable, and have
baffled all medical skill, and yet, this
new remedy has cured every single
case in which it has been used, in
this neighborhood. The doctors
themselves are amazed at the won
derful work Dodd's Kidney Pills are
accomplishing in Rock Island County.
