SORE HEAD.

Several readers ask us what causes
sore head and If it is really a dis
ease. 1t is seldom what you would
call a disease, though there are cases
arising from impure blood, perhaps
inherited, but these are rare, and a
simple blood tonic will give relief
Sore head, as it is called, is usually
tie result of mosquito bites that be-
come poisoned by early morning dew
A small pimple appears, followed by
IA scab, but prompt attention will
quickly give relief. CarbOlized YES
cline will end the trouble quickly, but
something must be done to keep the
mosquitoes away from the house. If
YOU will burn a tablespoonful of sui
phLr in the house, just beore the
fowls go to roost, the mosquitoes
will give no trouble during the night.
Close all doors and windows for half
an hour, but be careful not to let
any fowls remain in the house, as
the fumes will kill them.

SHOULD THE FARMER KEEP
THOROUGHBRED POULTRY?

We are asked this question by one
WHO for years has kept fine horses,
cattle, hogs and even dogs, and yet
lie says he has no time TO look aft
Cr chickens and therefore does not
see wherein the pure-brd fowls
would be any better than the mon
grels. Well, perhaps they would not,
iC he paid no attention to them, but
if he would try some pure-bred fowls
and provide a good house and attend
t. them as he does to his COWS and
hon SEES, he would soon find that, in
vcstment considered, they would pay
lin a larger profit than any of his
thoroughbred stock. On the farm it
Lp,ts practically nothing to feed the
fowls, as waste mostly is consumed,
and the eggs and flesh are all clear
profit. 1t requires only short time
to clean up the house, fill the water
rot and see that the fowls have
food. A boy, If You interest him in
tie work, can do it as we'll as a
man The farmers by all means
should have pure-bred fowls.

LINiBERNECK.

This is the season when limberneck
makes its appearance, and letters pour
in on us, asking what causes it and
what will sure it, 'Ltmberneck is
caused by maggots which gather in

causing death unless removed.
The maggots are gathered by the
fowls from dead carcasses, or decay
ing vegetable matter, and must be
pirher killed or removed from the
crop before the fowl gets relief Ten
drops of turpentine three times a
day will usually effect a cure. Do
not forget to clean up the premises,
burying all dead fowls or animals
and sprinkle lime over yards. Fowls
that run out in the fields and orch

they gather all the bugs and worms
they want and do not trouble them
selves with dCCaying matter. When

WILL THE POULTRY
BUSINESS BE OVERCOME?


A writer asks US this question, and
aids that since the farmers have
begun to look after their fowls, it
seems to be but matter of time
Dhen the supply will exceed the de-
nand. Such will never be the case
On the contrary, poultry raising is
just in its infancy, and the demand
wiz continue to grow. Housekeep-
crs are gradually learning TO ap-
preciate the value of eggs as COM
pared with beef and poultry, and
consequently are using more of each,
and demanding better quality than
they could get few years since
Eggs are no longer eggs unless they
are strictly fresh, and poultry must
he fat and in prime condition. Con-
sdmers are willing to pay a premium
for such stock, and that is why both

WHY POULTRY DOES NOT PAY.

WHY POULTRY DOES NOT PAY.
The principal reason why poultry
keeping does not pay is that the
farmers do not give the fowls any
attention They allow them to roost
in trees or on fences, or II they have
d house they never clean it and
mites Overrun every part. They sell
dom feed the fowls, and, If they
do, 1t is only few handfuls of corn
thrown out in the mud or snow,
Neglect will always cause failure in
tie poultry yard, and the owner has
10 right to blame the poultry and
say the business does net pay.
Very often a poultry-keeper will
invest a few dollars in fowls and
nothing In houses for them, and then
expect, them to make a living for
the family, No business man would
expect such results from an invest
Inent of few hundred dollars in any
kiad of business. Then why should
the poultry man expect so much
from his hens? They will make him
money II he will care for them, but
Win not pay II he neglects them.

MILK AND POULTRY.

Skim milk is one of the best feeds
for laying hens. With a good price
fer butter, it pays better to churn
the cream and feed the skim milk
TO hens rather than sell the milk at
the low price offered in some cities.
The West Virginia Experiment Sta
tion has proven the great value of
skim milk as an reproducing food,
In 122 days twenty-five hens fed on
skim milk laid 1924 eggs, while the
same number Of hens fed or a mash
wet with water laid only 1896 eggs.
The result was similar in other tests.
One New York producer reports
OILY eighty-seven cents for a forty
quart can of milk sold in the city
market. Yet, by turning it into but
ter and feeding the refuse milk to
hens he could get for his forty
oIart can of milk as high as 1884
