MOVING CHICKENS.

The majority Of breeders, when re-
quired to move their chickens from
one house to another, as a rule do so
at night, for the reason that they are
easier caught and handled. This seems
to be the best way for small numbers
that is to say, where they are to be
kept in small lots and when the birds
have been handled sufficiently to make
them quiet and understand their work,
so that when they are placed upon the
roost they will stay there.
The writer at one time always moved
at night, but have found more favor
able plan in my estimation for moving
young chickens, especially those that
are not too we'll acquainted with the
roost Supposing, for instance, I wish
to move a hundred or so of chicks from
the brooder to the poultry house. 1 do
it before they are fed in the morning.
1t is quite easy to catch them II you
use a little trap which you can place
in the corner Of the pen and drive ten
or twelve in at time and catch them.
Having caught them, take them to
their new abode and place them in their
roosting house right away and keep
them in there for a day and night and
feed them there; perhaps about Two
nights will be necessary If you find
they don't all take to the roost on the
first night.
BY keeping them shut in the house
in the day time with the ordinary door
open and a wire door substituting It,,
the chickens have chance to amuse
themselves jumping up and down to
and from the roost, the accomplished
ones setting the example to the I'M
accomplished, and thus teaching them
their business. Another thing in favor
of day-moving is that chickens do not

LIVER TROUBLE IN FOWLS.

A subscriber at Lynden, Whatcom
county, Wash, writes as follows: Il
would like to have you tell me what
to do for my chickens, If possible. They
are dying off now and then-one every
few days. By opening one the other
day found it had a liver large enough
for two, of a yellow color and seems
nearly decayed. While alive, when they
take it, they seem slow. The comb
turns pale"
The trouble here referred to is gen.
orally the result of errors in feeding.
Lack of sufficient exercise and unwhole-
some food, as we'll as overlooking, are
prominent causes Of liver trouble in
fowls. Fowls that are too fat are more
subject to liver trouble than are those
in good working condition. Starchy and
fatty foods, condition powders and con-
diments are responsible for much of the
trouble. Hence, avoid feeding potatoes
and the like, also condition powders
and other stimulating feeds to your
already fat hens.
Separate the affected fowls from the
well ones. Give twelve tablets Of nux
vomica and sulphur comp, 2 in each
pint Of drinking water, for few days.
Feed whole grain-wheat and oats-in
litter so they must scratch for a part
of their feed. Feed plenty of fresh
green stuff and some cooked meat. Sup
ply plenty Of grit, fresh water, etc., and
give the fowls a grass range when pos
sible Never feed tainted or rotten food
to the hens.

of the original flock. The average num-
Der for the year was IS. We sold 1853,
old and young; 16 went to friends. No
account was kept of those that were
used in the house. We gathered sos
eggs during the year; 627 of them were
used in the house, 432 for Matching anc
the rest sold. Three hundred and forty
three chicks were Matched; the best pull
let's from them took the place Of the
old ones sold and are about all laying
now. The rats and hawks got some
and the butcher the rest.

FOOT DISEASE AMONG CHICKS.

A Seattle subscriber to The Ranch
states that she has discovered kind
of disease breaking out among her
chickens, the disease attacking the feet
She says, in describing it, that it may
be what is called rot foot among
sheep. The outside toe of each foot
is affected, and one little toe seems to
be coming off. She has not noticed the
disease among any Of the older hens as
yet, but thought perhaps it was best
to check it now before it spread to the
others.
For this trouble wash the feet of the
afflicted fowls with a fresh solution of
napcreol and warm water-about tea
spoonful to a pint of water Then ap-
ply a good ointment daily, which can
be made by adding a teaspoonful of
napcreol to half a pint Of melted lard,
stirring until COOL Above all, keep the
roosting quarters dry and clean.
Thoroughly disinfect, use air-slacked
lime plentifully, ana give the fowls
good, nourishing food.

THE BEAGLE HOUND.
IF. B. West.)

I wish to tell the many readers of
The Ranch, and particularly those who
are raising poultry on the farm, of the
merits Of the beagle hound as I find
them Every year there are in Oregon
and Washington hundreds, yes, thou
sands, of young turkeys and turkey eggs
destroyed by skunks, coons, foxes, wild
cats, ETC., and it is for the destruction
Of these animals and the protection of
the setting turkeys and other poultry
that r recommend the beagle hound.
They are an old established breed and
have been tried for centuries, and not
found wanting. These intelligent and
useful little fellows have been bred in
England ever since the beginning OF
the eleventh century, and were intro
duced into America in the early seven
ties from some Of the best kennels in
England. Many importat1ons have fol-
lowed and at this date there are many
as good beagles in America as can be
found across the pond.
Their general appearance is that OF
a miniature fox hound, solid and big
for their inches, with the wear-and-tear
look of the dog that can last In the
chase and follow the game to it's death.
The ears are long, reaching, when drawn
out, nearly, if not quite, to the end OF
the nose, fine in texture, fairly broad,
with almost an entire absence of erect1le
power, setting close to the head with
the forward edge slightly turning to
the cheek, rounded at tip. Eyes large,
set we'll apart, soft and hound-like, with
expression gentle and pleading, and OF
a soft brown or hazel color. The
height is fifteen inches, shoulder meas
urements. The color Is any hound
color.
A large percent of these little fellows
that I have seen are black and white
spotted, with tan colored ears. They are
snappy, tireless hunters, quick at
turn and handsome in appearance. There
are many breeders of these valuable
little hounds in the United States and
few on the Pacific coast. Many or the
leading strains in the United States
trace to the best English kennels and
we have today as good beagles for the
bench shows and field trials as can be
found anywhere. This breed is becom-
ing quite popular in the east and few
have taken up their breeding on the
coast, but they are not meeting with
the success and encouragement they
should, for these little fellows do pos
sess great merit as a good practical
hound and would be In great demand
if their true value were better under
stood.
These hounds are greatly admired

HEN MANURE VALUABLE.

Hen manure is easily four times as
valuable for fertilizing purposes as the
average barnyard product, therefore 1T
will pay you to try saving 1t this win
ter if you have never done SO before.
Even If it can not be obtained in large
quantities, every little will help to make
the garden more productive next spring.
If the poultry house floor is earth, re-
move it and spread it over the garden.

crowd in the day time, but If frightened
or moved at night will often crowd and
suffocate each other in spite of any
thing you might do to prevent it, and
those that don't suffocate get sweaty
and then cold in turn and develop colds
in the form of swelled heads, etc., and
then your trouble commences I have
noticed particularly that those moved
in the day time have done better al
together and there has been far less
trouble in getting them to take to their
right roosting place

HArcH1Na CHICKS IN BEE HIVES.

A successful experiment of Matching
eggs in a bee hive was made some
weeks ago by Henry Decker, Of Ash
tabula county, Ohio. He writes: Il
was transferring a swarm of bees and
noticed that the heat was about the
same as had for my incubator. With
a thermometer I found it was the same
That night my wife inquired whether
we had not better set another hen.
said All right but that night I rut
twenty eggs in the top of the hive and
said nothing about it, but waited to see
what would happen. In nineteen days
I took out eighteen chicks. Since that
time I have tried it several times and
have done so WE'LL and 1 know that
others will succeed in this same way
if they should try.
ct can hatch over bees every egg that
is fertile. First you need an oat-chaff
hive. Then stretch a piece of cheese
cloth above the bees and lay the egg
on it. Put a cushion on it's side and
top around the eggs. If any have any
doubt about the temperature being right
for Matching eggs, they can test 1T for
themselves If they have a swarm Of
bees handy"
