WASTED TO A SHADOW.
But Found a Cure After Fifteen Years
of Suffering

from these [ lost 8 or 10 of my fine
Silver Wyandottes l cut several
open and found only the skins of the
maggots in the gizzard; no live worms
there. I contend it is the carrion in
the worm that does the mischief, not
the worm, for as Mr.. Nash says, the
worms and most all living things
must have air to live.
And now if Mr.. Nash doubts my
experience along this line, just let him
get dead hen and expose her to his
live chickens two or three days in
warm weather away from dogs or
hogs or hawks or buzzards, and watch
results. A five dollar bird will die
from eating these maggots just as

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-11-07


Carton is an unwholesome food,
fit only for wolves and vultures and
may contain a poison that if eaten
would prove fatal to a chicken; but
the maggot, even though he is work
ing in decomposed flesh, represents
living organism and would contain just
as much food value as would any other
worm.
However, the writer does not rec
ommend maggots as an ideal meat
food for chickens. Neither does he
consider tarantulas, scorpions, spiders,
snakes and centipedes proper meat
diet; yet the chicken seems exceeding
1y fond of all the above named delica-
cies CD and eats them with perfect
impunity and without any i'll after re-
suits. Have you never seen a chicken
with a horrid, venomous looking cent?
pede dangling from his beak go
scurrying across the yard chased by
dozen of his fellows, each one seeming
ly bent on capturing the prize for his
own dinner! Have you not seen them
kill and eat all kinds of poisonous
snakes and spiders without resultant
i'll to themselves? Then, say, if you
will, that the simple eating of an in
offensive little worm called a maggot
will cause the dread disease diagnosed
by eminent chicken doctors as timber
neck
They tell us to clean up the prem
ises and burn or bury all matter in
which these pests work, or you will
soon have your entire flock wiped
from the face of the earth with linn
ber-neck, that terrible and unrelent-
ing enemy of all chickenhood. The
rankest kind of nonsense again. for
on every farm and ranch in this
broad land of ours there are more
or less cattle kept, and wherever the
COW lot is located you will find an
abundance OF COW droppings, and
wherever you find this you find them
alive with not only maggots, but screw
worms, and you will also find the
chickens on these farms and ranches
daily gorging themselves with these
worms, and you seldom if ever, find
case of ''limber-neck;; but if per-
chance a case should appear, don't
lay it to the maggots elsewhere
for the cause.
In this connection I don't mean to
say that I am opposed to general
cleanliness about the premises; this
is. absolutely necessary to the general
health and comfort of the fowls; other
filth can accumulate about your prem
ises, aside from that which attracts
maggots, that is just as menacing to
the health of your flock. By all
means keep the premises scrupulously
clean, but l say positively that on farms
and ranches where the rank and file
of the finest, healthiest chickens are
grown and where an unlimited range
is accorded them, it is an utter i'm
possibility to find and remove all COW
droppings, thereby taking from with
in their reach the so-called deadly CD
maggot.

Maggots Not the Cause Of Limber-
Neck.
Neck.

Some time ago we published an ar
ticle about limber-neck, which claimed
that it was caused by the fowls eating
decayed meat and maggots. The writ
er Of an article which we found in
Farm and Ranch, claims that it is not
the maggots, that they are not any
more unwholesome than any other
kind of worms. Very possibly he is
correct, his arguments seem to be
sound It may be that if the maggots
could be gotten out and washed SO
they would be wholesome food. But
We have had some experience with
hens eating decayed meat, in which
there were no worms. We found that
it was very dangerous food Whether
they are the cause of limber-neck or
not the safest plan is to bury deeply,
or burn, all carcasses, before the fowls
can get at them. The article from
Farm and Ranch is as follows,
One of the most abused PROPOSE
tons, generally accepted by intelli-
gent thinking people, is the one that
the disease among chickens called
''limber-neck" is a direct and lmme-
date result OF maggot eating.
4 It is also asserted that the eating
Of decaying flesh causes the disease.
This may be true, or otherwise; at
any rate, such food could not be con-
sidered a healthy diet even for a
chicken; but they who assert that the
worms causes disease have certain
ly been misinformed, and it is the OBJ
ject of the writer Of this article to
try to disabuse their minds of such
fallacy. They tell us that the chick
ems crop does not overcome the life
of the maggot; that he simply con-
tinues his operations as though he
had not undergone the narrowing ex-
perience of being gobbled up and
uuollCu uOWu LllO ddl n, CdpdSlOuS
crops of a hungry chicken.
Now, honestly, did you ever hear Of
such nonsense? Doesn't any one
with a grain of reason know that
not even a maggot is SO tenacious Of
life that he can live and ply his ne
farious calling within the darksome
confines of a chickens crop or any
other place where not a breath of
air is obtainable?
The fact that screw worms and
maggots must have fresh air to live
is we'll known to stock men, who Of
ten, on the range, and in the absence
of the proper remedy, stuff fragments
of dry COW chips in the wounds
caused by these pests, thereby CUT
ting off their supply of air and caus
ing death by suffocation.
The worms themselves are endowed
with the instinct that fresh air is nee
essary to their we'll being, and in work
ing in live stock they always take an
upward course, leaving an opening,
which serves the double purpose Of
furnishing air and allowing the refuse
matter to pass off.
These pests are we'll known to
those who have ever noticed the hab-

most completely lose control of their

stretched out. The disease generally
kills them in from two to 36 hours.
| have lost all my ducks, few turkeys,
one goose and from 80 to 40 chickens.
The butcher brings his offal to my
place, which sometimes has a good
many maggots in it. Do you think that
would have anything to do with the
disease? AS the disease has killed a
good many for other people I consider
that had nothing to do with it.
This mans trouble is evidently caus-
ed by the maggots in the meat he
feeds. The disease is called Timber
neck" l have often heard of it, but
have never had case in my own yard.
Many people will feed stuff because
they can get it cheap, that is not fit
for feeding at all, and will only begin
to realize that there is no economy
in doing so when so many fowls have
died that the loss begins to stir them
up to see what is the matter. A few
maggots will not do a hen any hurt,
but if allowed to stuff themselves with
rotten meat-and probably not fed
enough grain because they have so
much meat-the result can hardly be
other than disastrous. If the inquirer
will stop feeding the meat and give his
fowls plenty Of good clean grain,
think they will stop dying. In cool
weather I sometimes buy butchers
scraps, meat and bones, and always
cook it until the meat is tender and
will fall from the bones; then it is fed
to the poultry, and the soup used to
stir in ground grain and make a
''nash.'' 1t is good thing to vary the
hens feed in this way occasionally,
but to feed rotten meat every day is
very wrong
The article which we quoted from
Farm and Ranch, was written by a
Mr.. Nash. In a later number two
other correspondents answer him as
follows:

I have had some sore experience
along this line, and I claim that prac-
teal experience is worth more than
all the theories on earth. I don't
claim that the maggots continue 10
eat in the chickens crop or intestines,
but I know from dear experience
that maggots from a dead chicken
will poison and kill every chicken
that eats as many as a dozen mag
gotS from the carcass of dead hen.
