LEG WEAKNESS IN CHICKENS
Behind Disease There Is Usually to

Behind leg weakness there is usual

I'd increase the space or get rid of
some of the birds. Feed steamed cut
clover as noon meal, whether it be
summer or winter.
If you have peas or beans boil and

sure the drinking water is pure and
give the houses extra care to see they
are in perfectly sanitary condition

GIVE CHARCOAL TO POULTRY
One of the Best Stomach correctlves
That Can Be Found and Is
Necessity for Chickens.

Charcoal is one of the best stom-
ach correctives that can be given to
man or beast and is a necessity for
healthful chicken raising. When soft
feed in the way of mashes are fed to
the fowls, charcoal is very essential,
for it corrects any tendency of the
food to sour and greatly assists the
process of digestion 1t has been prov
en- that all poultry will grow and fat
ten faster and the meat will be more
delicious in flavor when charcoal is
fed to them regularly; in fact, In all
the large fattening plants charcoal is
regularly fed to all the fowls in the
fattening coops. Charcoal can be pur-
chased at any poultry supply house,
but can easily be manufactured at
home If you burn wood in your
stove, there will be plenty of charcoal
IN the ashes to feed large flock of
fowls, If you don't burn wood, take
some corn cobs and put in the oven
till they are thoroughly charred. Corn
and cobs may also be partly charred
at times and fed to the hens with
profit

Hot coops mean colds and roup by

Too much sun is as great an evil as

A serious setback in growth Is never

1t is easy to hold cockerels too long
and feed away the profits.
Market everything not making val

If your chicks are ailing and you
don't know the reason, look for lice
One bad egg may lose customer
and puts a question mark on the

Moulting is great strain. Give
nourishirg food. A little iron tonic
in the yater is good.
Fresh bones from the butcher
shop, POI AIDED fine, are superior to thu
commercial bone meal
Green food is cheap feed, and hens
will Law much better than when kept
on an exclusive grain diet.
The nesting places should be large
enough to allow the hens plenty OF
room to turn around.
The profits with poultry are largest
when the fowls can eat what would
otherwise be thrown away.
Nine-tenths of the young chicks die
from being infested with lice and
mites. Grease on the head and under
the wings is good.
During the very hot weather the
chickens get dumpish and lose their
appetite A change of food during
this period will help them. See that
they have plenty of pure, fresh wa

The youngsters should be examined
frequently for signs of the big head
lice because unless they are disposed
of they will kill the chicks.
The only thing necessary is to rub
the heads and under parts very gently
with a tiny bit of lard
The red lice are even worse than
the big fellows and must be contin-
uaily fought They will quickly sap
the vitality of flock and so weaken
it that it is practically useless.
The interior of the chicken house
should be thoroughly sprayed over
every square inch with kerosene into

of carbolic acid should be mixed

PurifNinn the Yards

Frequent rains and excessive heat
will cause the yards to be in a very
unhealthy condition, unless the sur
face soil is spaded or turned under in
some manner, especially on heavy
clay locations. If spading is too Ia
borious, then the yards may be bene-
fitted by sprinkling them with a solu-
ton of copperas or blue-stone, dissolv-
ing one pound of the mineral in two
gallons of water and sprinkling
through the nose of an ordinary water
ing pot. A few spoonfuls of carbolic
acid in the solution will also be Of an
advantage.

The Farm Poultry.

With the common knowledge of the
earning of the farm focks have come
a desire to keep more fowls and make
their keeping a special department of
the farm operations.
On most farms it will prove better
and more economical to allow the
poultry free range during favorable
weather and fence off the lawn and
garden
The gains made by chickens during
the summer are rapid and poultrymen
are fast beginning to realize that if
they have large healthy birds they
must have abundant range during the
period when they are growing and de-
veloping.

AMERICAN BREEDS ARE BEST
Mediterranean Fowls Most Wonderful

1t must be admitted that the So
called Mediterranean fowls are most
wonderful family. Great credit is due
the American fancier for having done
SO much for their advancement. While
1t is true that the Spanish countries
furnished the foundation for all these
fowls, the Englis--speaking nations
have perfected them. We made the
Leghorns; England the other. But
today our Leghorns and Minorcas are
