closely we must 60 farther back to
find the cause of trouble and that
won't do our questioner much good
now. To begin with these chickens
we're fall Matched and l have never
known fall Matched chicks to be raised
without considerable loss. So we'll
assured am | of this fact that L have,
every season, refused all orders that
came in for eggs and chicks for fall
delivery. This year L had chance
to watch results obtained by two very
clever poultry ra1sers of my acquain-
lance who were raising August chicks
in thousand lots, Matched from good
stock and given the best of care. In
these instances the chicks reared
we're fine ones and the owners were
satisfied, upon the whole, but both
reported greater losses than they had
with spring Matched chicks. No bowel
trouble appeared but good many OF
the chicks just stopped growing and
turned feeble and light. Again, in
the case of my questioner, the eggs
may have been badly incubated or
the parent stock may have been badly
cared for, but the fact that the parent
birds, male and all, were in some
stage of the mott when the eggs were
laid is enough to account for it all
Anyway there's nothing to do now
but give the best of care to the
CHI ckens remaining and hatch out
some in the natural breeding season
to take their place.
This correspondent also asks; "Are
there unmistakable symptoms by
which bowel trouble may be recog-
nized?" There is one, diarrhea.
"What should be done for it?'' Radi-
cal change of diet, the feeding OF
cooked rice and the rice water and
plenty of wood charcoal. l do not
advocate the use of drugs. "Does 1t
affect old hens?'' Not to any great
extent or seriously.

TIMELY TOPICS.

The poultry raiser who has to
economize in every way-and there
are plenty of us in that tiX-can do
several things now that will improve
his egg yield later on. He can, in a
short time, rake up good shed full
of fallen leaves and later, when the
heavy rains set in and the fowls are
confined to their pens much of the
time, a foot deep covering of leaves
on the floors will set them to exercising
and add to their comfort and health.
Then, too, good crop of chickweed
has. in many places, followed the
food for some time to come and effect
a saving in alfalfa, beets on other
green food having a merchantable
value. Where dirt floors are in use
enough loan should be wheeled in to
raise the floors of the pens we'll above
the outside level, thus insuring dry
floors for the winter and reducing
chances Of colds and roup. Where
wooden HOOrS are IN use llDefal
space should be partitioned off with
IL in. plank on edge and six inches
of clean loan wheeled into it for
fowls to battle in. There should not
be knot hole left unplugged and the
walls behind and beside the roosts
ought to be reinforced oy sheating
of boards, building paper or tar paper.
All these things make Tor eggs when
the price is high.

Fl. M. G. S., Claremont, Calf,
writes: "Our two matches of fall
chickens seem affected with some
disease that has carried off twenty or
more in the course OF the last five
weeks. The symptoms seem to be
a weakening and tendency to fall over
backward. As they are dying they
keep opening their bills as though
gasping. Several have been resus-
citated and pulled through after they
seemed quite dead, by warming and
feeding. Their care has been as
nearly what you advised IN one of the
spring numbers of The Ranch as pos
sibe and still they CO."
Ans.-We are seldom given all the
data needed to base an opinion on.
In this case l do not know what per-
centage is afflicted; but assume that
it is considerable. Since The Ranch

roosts, dropping boards and floors
kept as clean as possible there will
be very few chickens needing the
doctor. 1t is certainly the better way
to prevent disease rather than to
neglect the flock as whole and then
spend the time thus saved fussing over
sick chickens Not much is known
of chicken diseases, not much ever
will be known and not much need be
known. We know how to prevent
disease and ii we put the knowledge
into practice, which means work, our
paucity of knowledge in other respects
need not cause us any worry. Most
chicken diseases resemble the diseases
of the human race and, as in the case
of human beings, individual physical
peculiarities have much to do with it.
A gIuttonCus fowl hogs more than its
share of the food, puts on too much
flesh, develops a neat case of enlarged
liver or heart and is found dead on
the floor of it's pen. 1t can't be
helped and occasional cases of the
kind are to be expected. Too often
it happens that one of the best layers
shows symptoms of distress for a few
days and then, in spite of simple rem
edies administered, dies. An autopsy
reveals fbroid or cancerous growth
in ovaries, something that could not
have been cured or prevented and due
to strain caused by excessive use of
the reproductive organs. Tuber-
culosis will occasionally occur in
the healthiest and best cared for
focks. Again nothing can be done
and again there is nothing to worry
about. The hens can't live forever.
But we can prevent the filth diseases
and no epidemic of disease can start
in flock that is cared for right up
to the handle, and don't exclude
white diorrhea from this class either.
1 would like to go deeper into this
subject and may do so in a future
number and meantime l will gladly
publish the opinions of any of our
readers, on this subject, if thew care

To dissipate any idea that the Zang-
will play, The Melting Pot, In which
the distinguished actor. Mr.. Walker
Whiteside, comes to the Auditorium,
November 16, is unwelcome to the
Jewish people, one need only to turn
to a number OF utterances of eminent
Rabbis Of the opinions Of various Jew
ish journals While many Rabbis
have denounced intermarriage between
Jew and Gentle. yet close scrutiny
Iof Mr. zangwill's purpose win show
that this was not the question that
moved him at all In writing his drama
the problem o. intermarriage being IN
trodueed solely as a stepping stone to
something far larger and more essent-
lal. The great Rabbi Hirsch saw this,
and made it plain to those who heard
him preach on the subject of this ex-
traordinary play. Mr.. Leon Zolotkoff,
the editor Of the JEWS Courier OF
Chicago. wrote to the management de-
ploring the fact that so many of his
race had endeavored to read into Mr..
zangwills play ideas and theories that
were not there.
The Melting Pot" said he. "is
nothing more than highly poetical,
representation Of the process within
the human crucible, beautiful in form
and powerful in expression"
