Lao Weakness Of Fowls.

Leg weakness OF fowls Is OF rheu-
matte nature, affecting the muscles,
tendons and joints. IL is usually caus-
ed by feeding too much OF such feeds
as corn and housing the birds In damp
and poorly ventilated houses. In IN
stances where variety OF feed Is
given and the house Is perfectly ven
tilated It may be traced to Impurities
In the system and In not few cases
TO In and In breeding.
As remedy give daily four or Ave
grains OF bicarbonate Of soda In the
drinking water for grown fowls,
Change the ration, discontinue giving
corn, and for the first three weeks give
little else but boiled rice. green feed
and little boiled bran. Eliminate the
common grains entirely from the ra-
ton. Avoid the use OF condiments and
prepared poultry foods, and be sure
chat the water is clean and fresh
whenever the affected bird wishes to
partake.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
