Hens and Eggs.

Hens Sred for phenomenal egg
records are not so. apt to havs strong
rugged offspring.
Extra heavy layers as pullets and
yearling hens are not so valuable in
their second year as teady layers.
There is no such thi & as an egg
laying type. The trap nest exposed
that theory beyond a doubt.
Hens forced for egg production
will in time produce : weak genera
tion. Pure food is the safest stimu-
lation to use.
Heavy winter layers are generally
poor summer layers and vice versa.
The largest eggs are produced by
steady layers.
The more eggs a hen lays the
smaller the size becomes.
The color of the brown egg grows
lighter as the numbers of her prod
uct increases.
The hen that will produce from
thirty o fifty eggs in succession will
not have vigorous germs in her eggs.

POULTRY AILMENTS.
Vigilance and Commonsense Com
bined will Work Wonders.

Dineu Will work wonders.
OF the causes for diseases of poul-
try and especially chicks. the great
ost is lice--ot a wet spring,
or during n rainy summer,
the lice will very soon get the upper
hand unless one is very vigilant.
The lice can be made to leave the
chicks, before feathering, by cover
ing them with a coal oil sprinkled
cloth leaving the chicks under the
cover for fifteen or twenty minutes.
All the lice that were on the
chicks will be found on the cloth
dead. and most of the nits on the
chicks will also be dead, this rids
them of the pest for the time, but II
they run with lousy chicks or their
mother hen Is lousy, or their coops
and run are dirty and contain nits il
will be but a short time until they are
infested again; so the only chance for
safety is in continuing the coal oil
wrapping every few days, or in thor
oughly riddins the rest of the fowls,
and the premises of all lice ard nits,
and then in keeping them so ridden.
This is easier said than accom-
plished. for one louise will soon have
descendants by the million. and the
new batch is always vigorously ac-
tive.
Keep a dry bath for all fowls and
chicks all the time and as dust is not
found in quantities yet, it will be
necessary to use sifted ashes for their
bath.
Clean all coops and premises as
clean as the proverbial pin; use
white wash. strong with lime and
coal oil, or other good liquid killer.
In quantities, copious enough to rout
each louise and nit; give the old
fowls a good busting with fresh pow
der, use a dip on their legs; coal and
lard are good. Use fresh insect
powder or fresh tobacco dust freely
in their dust bath; when you may sit
and rest easy for a few days.
Not for long, however, for eternal
vigilance is required in this warfare.
Now that things are nicely cleaned
and started right, half hours work
each and every day will result in
keeping them so.
If above is done thoroughly, the
coops moved to clean quarters two or
three times each week, good, whole
some food only is allowed, and fresh
clean water in clean vessels always
at hand, the poultry ailments will be
missing thing.
Not any chick or fowl can keep
healthy when inhabited with vermin,
or If given sour, or otherwise un-
wholesome food. or impure water to
drink. Put your commonsense into
active USE. c. In Indiana Far

Fowls to Have Animal Food.

Fowl kept in confined runs should
have an ample supply of animal food.
T-is Is not only necessary in order
that they may lay a great number of
eggs, but also to prevent egg eating
and feather pulling. These deprayed
habits are usually INDUCED in by
FOWLS that are confined and fed on
too carbonaceous a diet. In such
conditions they have an Unsuitable
craving for animal food. or in other
words for some protien and they
strive to satisfy the desire by eating
their own eggs and plucking out and

about the hogs born in the yard is
that, as far as could be determined,
they rarely contracted the disease
until after they were weaned.
While it may be maintained that
the farmer can avoid this danger by
seggregating the tuberculous COW, yet
it is fact and quite paradoxical ttat
a seemingly healthy animal may be
dangerous to the community by rea-
son of the fact that she expels tubercle
bacilli in her feces.
The relative frequency with which
COWS expel tubercle bacilli per rectum
has not been accurately determined.
Among y cows co lleoted from several
dairy herds for use in an investigation
in which a number of apparently
healthy but tuberculous COWS were re-
CURED, 5 or Al 2-3 per cent were
found to be passing tubercIe bacilli
internationally per rectum with their
feces. Eighteen months after the
mum Der had increased to 10, or 81 1-3
per cent, that is, it had doubled,
though the majority of the cows still
retained their apparently good condi-
ton and showed no marked symptoms
of tuberculosis. Guy e. Mitchell.

will be REQ uiIed to alleviate the i'm
PENDING beef shortage. A cow raises a
single calf annually, while SOW raises
one and possibly two filters of pigs
every year. This implies that con-
sumptive demand for pork will in
crease, but the trouble lies in the fact
that it will be necessary to reeducate
the American people in eating 1T,
Prices have gone 80 close to the pro-
hibitive stage that consumption has
been seriously decreased and the re-
action must be startling to attract at
tention. My own opinion is that
after lapse of about two years hogs
will be reasonably cheap again.
"For the present we are facing a
peculiar trade condition. Corn is
abundant, hogs scarce and a grower
selling light stuff would justify IN
vestigation of his mental condition.
The result is that the market is afford
ing little material for the hlgh-price
trade, such as light breakfast bacon,
but an abundance of heavy meats,
such as the south uses and satisfies
cheap trade in the north. Corn can
be made to realize S1.25 per bushel
when marketed as pork and the sum-
mer run will carry more weight than
it ever did before. Live Stock

According to officials of the depart

feces is one of the most important
causes of tuberculosis among hogs. In
a recent case under observation a

stable contained a herd of tuber-
